John Sanders/Harriet Jeffries

Fresh from a well-deserved vacation, Toronto Police Inspector John Sanders returns to find the homicide department deep into an investigation of the shooting death of a wealthy local businessman. But when a sergeant on the investigating team disappears with the case’s eyewitness, only Sanders’s fresh take on the evidence can unravel what really happened to Carl Neilson . . . and why.

Sleep of the Innocent is the fourth novel in the John Sanders/Harriet Jeffries mystery series.

Praise for Medora Sale

“It’s not easy to blend a serious love story with a taut thriller, but Medora Sale pulls off the feat with style in Sleep of the Innocent. . . . Sale, who writes with grace and attention to characterization, brings a touch of romance to the often gritty police procedural.”—The Washington Post Book World
