Dead and buried

Book 7 of the Benny Cooperman Series

by Howard Engel

Benny Cooperman is sure that toxic waste isn’t something you should spend too much time thinking about—it just isn’t good for your mental health. But when Jack Dowden’s widow appeals to Benny to investigate the death of her truck-driving husband, Canada’s favourite gumshoe finds himself up to his egg-salad-stained lapels in the deadly filth of Kinross Disposals. As he unearths clues—and PCBs—the body count begins to rise, and Benny does his best not to end up ... Dead and Buried.
