Policier

Newswriter Zack Walker learns that his father is missing - and that a bear-mauled corpse was found near his family's fishing camp. His dad soon turns up alive, but Zack remains at the scene, puzzling over the death, a bumbling but familiar-looking police chief, and hostile neighbours.

Thomas Kilbride is a map-obsessed schizophrenic who rarely leaves his bedroom, but who travels the world using a computer program. One day he sees something in a street view of downtown New York City: an image in a window that looks like a woman being murdered. His brother Ray has been listening to Thomas’ increasingly paranoid theories for years, so when Thomas tells Ray what he has seen, Ray humours him, but soon realizes he and his brother have stumbled onto a deadly conspiracy.

It's been two months since private investigator Cal Weaver's teenage son, Scott, died in a drug-related accident. Cal is mired in grief he can't move past, and that has clouded his judgment. Because he made a grave mistake driving home on a very rainy night. A drenched young girl tapped on his window as he sat at a stoplight and asked for a ride. And even though he knew a forty-something man picking up a teenage hitchhiker is a fool, he let her in the car; she was the same age as Scott and maybe she could help him find the dealer who sold his son the drugs that killed him. But after a brief stop at a roadside diner, Cal senses that something's not right with the girl or the situation. But it's too late. He's already involved.
