Best First Novel

When hit man Dante Ryan is told to kill a five-year-old boy, he can't bring himself to do it. Not with a son that age. So he turns to private investigator Jonah Geller for help. Why Geller? He's not your typical private eye. He was never a cop and doesn't drink to excess. He's a secular Jew in Toronto whose mother wishes he was more like his older brother the lawyer. Maybe seeing someone nice. But Jonah has a tough side too. He wants to make the world a better place and doesn't mind raising a cloud of dust to do it. Ryan thinks he's the right man for the job in Buffalo Jump. Find out whether he's right -- and how these two get along on a wild ride over the river.
