The Penalty Killing

Martin Carter, a former hockey great who hasn’t played since he sustained a head injury 15 years ago, is now in charge of community relations for the New York St. Patricks. Although the St. Patricks haven’t won the Stanley Cup in almost 40 years, fans are thrilled that, this year, they are positioned for a chance at the chalice. But after two people are murdered – one a star forward of the Vancouver Sea Lions and the other burnt beyond recognition by a fire that destroyed Carter’s New Jersey apartment – their Stanley Cup dreams are put to a halt as police determine if Carter is the charred victim or the murderer. Moving from New York to Vancouver The Penalty Killing is a gripping fiction debut.
