A razor-sharp literary murder mystery where politics and family secrets are the most dangerous poisons.
When controversial city councillor Ted Omen drops dead at a lavish fundraiser inside the Canadian Museum of Nature, no one is surprised - but the real question remains: who killed him? Set against the shadowy, bureaucratic elegance of Ottawa, Murder Under Glass is a slow-burn whodunit and political crime novel that unravels a web of corruption, activism, and family dysfunction.
The prime suspect is his ex-wife, Tatiana Goode-Omen, a seasoned environmental rights lawyer navigating a bitter public image and private grief. As the criminal investigation closes in, her teenage son Wolfgang - a budding scientist with a detached eye for detail - begins to see connections the police have missed.
As secrets unfurl and motive becomes method, the line between predator and prey blurs in a deadly hunt for the truth. Equal parts literary mystery, legal thriller, and suspense, Murder Under Glass will appeal to readers who love atmospheric, character-driven mysteries with political bite.
