With his 13th pairing of Vancouver detectives Willows and Parker in A Cloud of Suspects (M&S $34.99), Laurence Gough is surely primed for a TV series. This novel is once more laced with terse dialogue and underlying humour, amid landmarks such as Harvey's Burgers on Kingsway. The hepatitis scare at Capers even gets a mention. 0-7710-3512-8
