About the Book:
Fiction: Mystery/Crime 110,000 Words. The Nolan, Hart & Tain Series #1.
One year ago, a brutal case almost destroyed three cops. Since then they’ve lost touch with one another, avoiding painful memories, content to go their own ways. Now Nolan is after a serial rapist. Hart is working on a string of arsons. And Tain has been assigned a series of child abductions, a case all too similar to that one. But when the body of one of the abduction victims is found at the site of one of the arsons, it starts to look like maybe these cases are connected after all...

About the Book:
Fiction: Mystery/Crime 100,000 Words. The Nolan, Hart & Tain Series #2.
The police got the call: A four-year-old boy had been found beaten to death in the park. But almost as soon as Hart and Tain arrived at the scene, the case took a strange turn. They found the victim’s brother hiding in the woods nearby. He said he saw the whole thing and claims his older sister is the killer. And she’s missing…. When the boy’s father is notified that his son is dead, his first response is to hire a high-powered attorney, who seems determined to create every legal roadblock he can for Hart and Tain. So now the search is on for the missing girl. But the clock is ticking, and the case is about to get even stranger.

Accolades:
“...a terrific plot.” --The Globe and Mail
"...it moved me in ways I didn't even know I felt." --Ken Bruen, Author of Ammunition
“Sandra Ruttan writes with passion and honesty about every parent’s worst nightmare and the result is an emotionally wrenching experience.”
--Sean Chercover, Author of Trigger City and Big City, Bad Blood
"Brave, dark and utterly convincing, The Frailty of Flesh is guaranteed to break the hardest of hearts. An absorbing read."
--Allan Guthrie, Award-Winning Author of Hard Man
"The Frailty of Flesh is not only one of the best procedural thrillers I've read in a long time...
but the ending knocked me right out of my seat. Ruttan captures the nature of crime in a
way few thriller writers ever manage... this is vivid, impressive, gut-wrenching stuff."
--Russel D. McLean, Crime Scene Scotland
“The fallout from the last time their cases intersected still haunts the three major protagonists in this stark procedural.
Each is haunted by major baggage that can’t help but affect current cases.
The talented Ruttan turns a spotlight on the gritty reality of law enforcement for these Canadian constables,
and the result is truly convoluted and disturbing.”
--Romantic Times Book Review
