Wedged between Vancouver and the U.S. Border, the Boundary Police are struggling to find the killer of one of their own officers. When a curler is murdered, the pressure intensifies.
Tate Boman, an experienced Vancouver detective, is excited to be back in the field after four years working on data analysis with the Integrated Task Force. He is inserted into the Boundary force to team with newly minted Detective Claire Kozak, who is determined to prove her worth. Together they disinter the hidden truths, old and new, of the communities of Tsawwassen and Ladner. But Tate has another assignment, one that can only be completed from deep within the workings of the Boundary Police.
What starts as a traditional murder mystery with curling at its heart, transitions to a fast-paced thriller with cartels and corruption driving the plot forward.
From learning to curl, to exploring the dikes that protect the city from the Pacific Ocean, Tate and Claire cannot avoid the modern problems of climate change, drugs, race, and bullying. They uncover important truths about themselves as they follow the tangled chain of events leading to a climactic confrontation.

What readers are saying about The Roaring Game Murders
“What a wonderfully intriguing story and great piece of writing. The two interweaving murders were ingenious; kept me ‘pulled in’ eager to see how the threads would all come together. I will be recommending your first and future books in this series to all my friends.”

“I found it so gripping and captivating. I couldn’t put it down until I’d finished reading it. You’re right up there with James Patterson. But yours didn’t read as far fetched as his. It was closer to being real. Looking forward to your next book!!”

“What a great read! Reminded me of the Quinn Colson books by Ace Atkins. Peter has created two memorable characters, with plenty of creative runway ahead of Tate and Claire. As a south Delta local, I loved the geography references and I also appreciated the attention to detail around cooking and, of course, the great sport of curling. Bring on the next book!”

“I’m sure your book will do well!! It’s gripping and I didn’t want to put it down once I started to read it (even as a non curler).”
