From the Author: "The purpose of this publication is to set forth illustrations, specifications, and related information pertaining to semi-automatic pistols that were officially procured for the German Military, Police, and NASDAP between the last months of 1934 and the termination of World War II in Europe on the 8th of May, 1945." Dozens of handguns are pictured. An uncommon book.

RCMP Inspector Coswell is back. A university professor is murdered and his corpse is revealed to a first year anatomy class in spectacular fashion -- nude on a slab alongside shrouded medical cadavers. He begins his investigation with Corporal James, his long time assistant, but is abruptly assigned a new partner, a female officer who arrives under a political cloud. Already depressed by his perceived plunge into senility, Coswell struggles to stifle his own gender biases and work effectively with this woman. As they delve into the victim's affairs, their list of suspects grows: failed students, a jealous colleague, an intriguing ex-wife and a criminal cartel. Clues emerge that send them all over the city of Vancouver from UBC campus to downtown and its gourmet restaurants plus Stanley Park and English Bay.
