Changes In Latitudes – By Randall Denley

Ottawa novelist Randall Denley is the author of seven mysteries.

Ottawa police inspector Mike Reilly has devoted 40 years to the methodical pursuit of criminals. Now, at 60, he is retired and alone. Ottawa has little left to offer him.

Faced with boredom and irrelevance, Reilly decides to turn his life upside down. He heads to Miami, gets on the first cheap cruise ship he can find, and lets fate decide what’s next. Reilly thinks he’s found paradise on a tiny Caribbean island. He’s even fallen for a new woman.

Then a cruise ship arrives with a murdered crew member on board. Reilly steps up to try to solve the crime before the killer strikes again. It’s the most daunting investigation of his long career and there’s no one he can trust.
