Walking Into the Ocean
Krimi. This novel finds Cammon journeying to the Jurassic Coast to solve a seemingly ordinary domestic crime. At first glance, the perpetrator appears to have murdered his wife before drowning in the English Channel, but Cammon soon learns that his case is merely a sideshow. A broader series of murders has been unfolding along the cliffs, baffling the local police
The Drowned Man
A retired Scotland Yard detective is lured back to work in “a series to follow particularly for Louise Penny fans and the Masterpiece Mystery set” (Library Journal). Chief Insp. Peter Cammon is supposed to be retired, but he’s reluctantly agreed to travel to Canada to retrieve the body of a murdered colleague. And once he’s involved, he can’t resist delving into the oddities of the crime. His fellow cop was brutally attacked, run over by a car, and then dumped into a canal—all seemingly linked to the theft of three letters from the American Civil War era, one of which may have been signed by John Wilkes Booth . . . “Tightly plotted and featuring a lead character who keeps us glued to the page, the book should definitely suit readers looking for an intriguing lead character and a solid mystery.” —Booklist
Still Dying for a Living
In 1992, a preventable explosion at the Westray Mine in Plymouth, Nova Scotia, killed twenty-six miners. More than a decade later, the government introduced revisions to the Criminal Code of Canada aimed at strengthening corporate criminal liability. Bill C-45, dubbed the Westray bill, requires employers to ensure a safe workplace and attributes criminal liability to organizations for seriously injuring or killing workers and/or the public. In Still Dying for a Living, Steven Bittle turns a critical eye on Canada’s corporate criminal liability law. Interweaving Foucauldian and neo-Marxist literatures with in-depth interviews and parliamentary transcripts, Bittle reveals how various legal, economic, and cultural discourses surrounding the Westray bill downplayed the seriousness of workplace injury and death, effectively characterizing these crimes as regrettable but largely unavoidable accidents. As long as the primary causes of workplace injury and death are not properly scrutinized, Bittle argues, workers will continue to die in the pursuit of earning a living.

Pour une nouvelle codification du droit pénal
This is a revised and enlarged edition of report 30 proposing a new Code of Substantive Criminal Law for Canada. The proposed Criminal Code expresses the essential principles of criminal law and rules of general application. It defines most of the crimes of concern to a modern industrialized society. At the same time, it drops archaic provisions but addresses modern day social problems like pollution and terrorism. Title I is the general part containing rules of general application; Title II contains most of the crimes against the person; Title III enumerates most of the crimes against property; Title IV lists crimes against the natural order; Title V deals with crimes against the social order; and Title VI encompasses crimes against the governmental order.
The Verdict on Each Man Dead
From an Arthur Ellis Award finalist: “An intelligently plotted and layered mystery set in the Mormon heartland” (Brenda Chapman, author of Turning Secrets). Peter Cammon is now retired from New Scotland Yard. Nevertheless, the former chief inspector has found himself in the suburbs of Salt Lake City, Utah, after agreeing to help a colleague with a difficult case. A resident on tranquil Hollis Street has been beheaded, her husband has disappeared, and there is no obvious perpetrator. Yet the neighbors seem apathetic—silent to the point of complicity.
