Overview

Kausar Khan returns to dispense more vigil-aunty justice in the second installment of the critically acclaimed Detective Aunty series--and this time, the crime Kausar is investigating is dredging up memories she buried long ago . . . When Kausar Khan moved back to Toronto to be closer to her family, she didn't expect to have another murder investigation on her hands so soon--or really ever. But when a young man named Qasim is found dead in their Golden Crescent neighborhood, and when she learns he was close to her granddaughter, Maleeha, what's a grandmother to do but try and solve the case? And it's not just her heartbroken granddaughter spurring Kausar to find answers; it's also how the circumstances of Qasim's death remind her of her own teenage son, Ali, and his mysterious death nearly twenty years before. Kausar knows firsthand what a difference closure can make to a grieving parent--and the more she seeks to find that for Qasim's parents, the more she begins to realize that perhaps it's time she finds closure for herself as well. As Kausar digs into both Qasim's and Ali's cases and her ""aunty"" skills continue to bring more information to light, she can't help but wonder if the similarities between the two cases are more than just mere coincidence. But how could two deaths, twenty years apart, possibly be related? Detective Aunty is determined to find out.
