Hazel pinned them to the wall and stood back. It was a silent opera of ghosts. <br><br><br><br></i>Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef has lived all her days in the small town of Port Dundas and is now making her way toward retirement with something less than grace. Hobbled by a bad back and a dependence on painkillers, and feeling blindsided by divorce after nearly four decades of marriage, sixty-one-year-old Hazel has only the constructive criticism of her old goat of a mother and her own sharp tongue to buoy her. But when a terminally ill Port Dundas woman is gruesomely murdered in her own home, Hazel and her understaffed department must spring to life. And as one terminally ill victim after another is found&#8212;their bodies drained of blood, their mouths sculpted into strange shapes&#8212;Hazel finds herself tracking a truly terrifying serial killer across the country while everything she was barely holding together begins to spin out of control. <br><br><br><br>Through the cacophony of her bickering staff, her unsupportive superiors, a clamoring press, the town&#8217;s rumor mill, and her own nagging doubts, Hazel can sense the dead trying to call out. But what secret do they have to share? And will she hear it before it&#8217;s too late? <br><br><br><br>In <i>The Calling, I</i>nger Ash Wolfe brings a compelling new voice and an irresistible new heroine to the mystery world. </div></div></div> 3273291 5 5 2008 The Calling total:98|5:18|4:46|3:23|2:11|1:0| 98 365 180 38 5 1 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 17:19:25 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 17:28:13 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Mar 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 14:08:15 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 14:22:56 -0800 2009
