✦ Synopsis

When a well respected truck driver, the owner of a family trucking
business, is found dead in his truck down a steep embankment along the
Coquihalla highway that winds through the mountains in British Columbia,
his distraught daughter wants to know how and why he died. Not long
afterwards, while driving the same highway, her husbands brakes are
tampered with, almost creating another fatal accident on a treacherous
incline, This compels Hunter Rayne, a fellow trucker and retired RCMP
detective, to help her find answers.

As he uncovers signs of illegal cross border activity originating in
a Seattle warehouse, Hunter recruits an old friend, an outlaw biker, to
infiltrate what appears to be an international smuggling ring. But
while Hunter follows up clues and waits for critical information from
his old friend, the wily biker starts to play his own angles.

Finally, putting all the pieces together, there in the dark on the
same uphill curve on the Coquihalla highway, Hunter risks it all to
confront the murderer.

Slow Curve on the Coquihalla is the first in a traditional mystery
series featuring "semi-" professional sleuth, Hunter Rayne. After
serving over 20 years in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and becoming a
skilled detective, Hunter resigned from the force and took to the road
as a long haul trucker. His ex-wife is convinced he is running away
from the personal tragedy that made him leave a job he loved. Hunter
himself doesnt know why, he only knows he has to keep following the
white lines.
