MEAT COVE
"A crime drama that offers a winning combination of thrills, defeats, and hard-earned victories." —Kirkus Reviews
Some readers feast on the triumph and tragedy of a family saga. Others prefer the sheer suspense of a thriller. Enjoy both as a heroic Mountie in remote Cape Breton,Nova Scotia, narrates events bringing all that she loves – and hates – to the verge of extinction.
PRAISE FOR MEAT COVE
“Weber’s novel is populated with colorful, sharply drawn characters—especially Fundy, a no-nonsense cop who describes herself as ‘like Dudley Do-Right and Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, but instead of a horse, I ride a Taurus. And I wear a bra.’ A crime drama that offers a winning combination of thrills, defeats, and hard-earned victories.”

—Michael Walsh, author of And All the Saints, The Devil’s Pleasure Palace and Last Stands
Constable Fundy Sutherland is a buff gruff Mountie with a price on her head and a veritable ossuary of skeletons in her closet. A former JTF-2 sniper, Fundy is quietly raising daughter Skye in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia when three events upend her careful obscurity: Skye brings home a DNA ancestry kit; the doppelgänger of Fundy’s runaway mother settles in tiny White Point; and an erratic Venezuelan ship passes through the Cabot Strait.
As local disturbances and international tensions escalate around a NATO conference in Halifax, Fundy must leave her safe lane and resurrect an implacable past. Generational love story meets geopolitical suspense in a SAGATHRILLER barreling across the North Atlantic.
