Just some of the characters you will encounter.
CHRISTINE MORRIS
At the time of the book, (2004) Christine has been working in the Behavioural Science Unit at the OPP Headquarters in Orillia. Her relationship with her mother Joan, introduced in the previous book, DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW? has improved but can still get prickly. Joan has remained living in the Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides where she was born. Christine’s lover, sergeant Gordon Gillies(Gill) is also there and although they see each other as often as possible, Christine is becoming dissatisfied with a long distance relationship. Other than that, she enjoys her life in Orillia and has become fond of her team mates who are part of the forensic profiling unit. Tragically, however, the daughter of the resident psychiatrist is found murdered and Christine is drawn into the case.
DR. LEO FORGACH

He has the reputation of being brilliant at his job but he is difficult to get along with, impatient with slower minds and not afraid to show his displeasure. He is twice married and divorced. His son from his first marriage, the unfortunately named, Sigmund works at a bank in Barrie. Leo has a hard time hiding his contempt for the man. The child of his second marriage, Deidre, was born deaf and she has a deaf child named Joy.
