In the heart of northern Ontario, the serene beauty of Lonely Lake Lodge hides a chilling secret. When RCMP officer Matt Brennan is called home to La Cloche to deal with a pressing family matter, he expects only a brief absence from his chosen career. Instead, he discovers a bizarre murder scene—a scene macabre enough to rattle even a seasoned cop. But it's not his problem. Or is it?
When his brother is charged with the murder, Matt shoulders the responsibility of guiding his family in the struggle to clear his brother's name, all the while grappling with the challenges of running his uncle's lodge while it's being sold. And in the background, he feels relentlessly pulled into a web of long-buried secrets and lies.
Yesterday's Lies is a gripping blend of mystery and a journey of self-discovery, as Matt confronts his own identity and the path he must choose. A journey set amongst the evocative backdrop of the majestic, mysterious and sometimes malevolent terrain of the Georgian Bay region of northern Ontario.
Dive into a tale where the past and present collide, and the weight of yesterday's lies threatens to unravel the future.
Matt Brennan’s life is at a crossroads. After inheriting the family fishing lodge, he flies in for a quick trip in order to sell Lonely Lake Lodge, anxious to get back to his job as an RCMP officer in Toronto. But on a remote island in northern Ontario, Matt discovers a dead body in a bizarre setting. This sets off a series of events that involve Matt’s large, close-knit family and forces him to question everything he thinks he knows about his past.
The story, set in the imagined town of La Cloche, surrounded by the White Mountains and pink granite shores of the Canadian Shield, captures the majestic essence of Northern Ontario. Yesterday’s Lies invites you to make yourself at home in the lodge’s great room for a Magic Hour cocktail, then lifts you to dizzying heights over the sparkling blue waters of Georgian Bay.
Jan Field’s first book in the Matt Brennan Mystery series will have you hooked and eager for your next trip up north.
