'Confused patriot and geriatric lover' Justin Fowles has been banished from the RCMP and suspects the force still spies on him. He even thinks the nearby Combat College is an outpost of American expansionism. In Jim Jackson's Justin Fowles (Trafford $29.58), Fowles' worries are compounded when he finds the body of a young woman. Jackson lives in Victoria. 1-4120-1454-9
