The Truth About Sarah – By Randall Denley

Ottawa novelist Randall Denley is the author of five mysteries.

The Truth About Sarah is the fifth in the Kris Redner series. It was preceded by The Long Hurt, Payback – which was nominated for the Crime Writers of Canada Best Crime Novel Set in Canada, Spiked and One Dead Sister.

Other books include the family drama The Situation and the political satire The Perfect Candidate.

Denley has been a political columnist for more than 25 years and writes regularly for the National Post and the Ottawa Citizen.

Ottawa journalist Kris Redner’s first true-crime book was a big success. Now, Kris’s agent has lined her up with a timely new story.

Tom Bowen is a former justice minister whose daughter, Sarah, was killed by a sexual predator, a man that Bowen had defended and kept on the streets.

After Sarah’s murder, Bowen quit the law and became a champion for victims’ rights.

Kris soon discovers that Bowen isn’t quite the hero he is made out to be, and that the real story of Sarah’s death has never been told.
