Book Synopsis

The fourth thrilling installment of the Wakeland detective series, exploring the depths of Vancouver's criminal underworld.

The mayor's brother is missing. A transit cop lies beaten and blinded, her service weapon stolen. A new series of graffiti tags are appearing, linked to an underground group calling themselves The Death of Kings. Class warfare has broken out on the streets of Vancouver, and PI Dave Wakeland finds himself on the front lines--but unsure which side he's on.

Reeling from a bad breakup, and increasingly alienated from the city he calls home, Wakeland nevertheless agrees to look for the missing gun. The investigation takes him from flophouses to city hall, and from a clinic in the West Vancouver hills to a mega-mansion in the exclusive British Properties neighborhood--along the way, crossing every ethical line the PI has drawn for himself. Even then, Wakeland may not be able to pull it off...

Review Quotes

"The deeper Wakeland gets in his investigation, the faster you will want to burn through the pages. Wiebe is a master of ratcheting up the tension and there are many twists and turns in Sunset and Jericho...The ending of Sunset and Jericho will shock you to your core. It is Sam Wiebe at his finest." --Crime Fiction Lover, 5-star review

"Sunset and Jericho was my favorite Wakeland novel so far. It treats a hot button issue with such a cerebral and analytical manner, it brought me completely elsewhere and made it difficult to stop reading. It's the most confident and incisive Wakeland novel to date and anyone could get a kick out of it, whether or not they're familiar with the character." --Dead End Follies

"Sunset and Jericho brings us deeper into Wakeland's world, and while it's not necessarily a comfortable place to be, it's a place where you want him to be less troubled. Strong writing, character development, structure and pace. Well recommended reading." --Murder in Common
