After barely surviving her last case, Dame Polara trades her part-time detective gig for the safer — though no less chaotic — life of a single, working mother, picking up toys instead of picking locks, chasing after her two-year-old instead of chasing crooks.

But when her ex-husband inexplicably drowns, and Dame becomes the prime suspect in his murder investigation, she must work alongside the woman who ruined her marriage to unravel the mystery of the man they both loved.

Dame’s sleuthing takes her to dive bars, industrial ports, and eventually, Toronto Island, where her ex spent his final days with a community of secretive and temperamental artists.

As she comes closer to the complicated truth, Dame realizes that in order to clear her name and protect her family, she’ll have to re-examine everything she thought she knew about the people she loved and left behind.

• Accused of murdering her ex-husband, reluctant PI Dame Polara must return from her quiet life as a new mom to clear her own name.
• Who by Water delves into the life of a working single mother and follows Dame as she grapples with unresolved feelings surrounding the end of her marriage.
• The Dame Polara mysteries successfully address issues of contemporary life (renoviction, divorce, single parenthood, and more) while still remaining witty, page-turning whodunnits.
• AJ Devlin, the Arthur Ellis-Award winning author of Cobra Clutch, called Dame Polara “a memorable, complex, and clever sleuth who is here to stay.” Who by Fire, the first in the series, has been received with great enthusiasm by readers.
• Greg Rhyno has been nominated for a ReLit Award and an Alberta Book Publishers’ Award for his debut novel To Me You Seem Giant.
• The Dame Polara series is in development with CBC for a TV series.
