a murder before neptune
In May 1944, RCMP Mountie Miles Lundin is assigned temporarily to England to be indoctrinated into the most imporant secret of the war - the ULTRA intercepts. Instead, he is called on to solve a murder of a Canadian soldier just before the amphibious invasion of France - code named NEPTUNE.
As he works through the list of possible motives and suspects, he uncovers tensions between Canadian forces and British Comnandos that trace back to the calamitous raid at DIeppe in 1942. He also has to manage a conflict between the Canadian force leadership and his friend and colleague in the British Admiralty, Commander Ian Fleming.

A BODY ON THE SHORELINE
It’s 1942, and a body is discovered on the shoreline of a secret training facility in Canada.
Secret or not, this is Canadian territory, and the murder case belongs to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Warned to expect suspicion, if not total obstruction, RCMP Miles Lundin must find a murderer in a camp of trained killers. Fortunately, he is joined in the investigation by a visiting “outsider” from Royal Navy intelligence, Lieutenant Commander Ian Fleming.
The questions are clear: who and why? The answers, however, are as murky as the depths of Lake Ontario.
