Who would kill someone as sweet as Sammy Adler?
Jonah Geller knew Sammy at summer camp when they were twelve. He was an awkward kid Jonah tried to help on the softball field. He gave him the nickname Slammin' Sammy, which he went on to use as a feisty city columnist in Montreal. When Sammy is brutally murdered years later in what looks like a hate crime, and the investigation stalls, his dying grandfather begs Jonah to set things right. Montreal is only five hours away in Dante Ryan's new hemi-powered Charger, but Jonah and Ryan soon find it's a different world, with its own language and culture, tensions and conflicts, belligerent cops -- and a new set of rules waiting to be broken.
