About the Book

After barely surviving the events of The Killer Trail, Vancouver psychiatric social worker Chris Ryder once again finds himself at the centre of a high-profile murder case: Marvin Goodwin, a young man who falls on the extreme end of the autism spectrum, is found covered with blood at the murder scene of a local ice cream truck driver. When Chris is called in to learn what he can about Marvin, he finds that the weight of blood might just be too much for him to bear. Complicating matters are Chris' strained relationship with his father; the vicious actions of his half-brother, Ray; the blinding spotlight of the media; and the aftereffects of trauma. In The Weight of Blood, D.B. Carew has given us a protagonist who is trying to hold everything together while staunching blood that both spills and connects.

Review :
Praise for The Weight of Blood: "Carew, a social worker at a provincial forensic psychiatric hospital, does a good job portraying the struggles of a mental health worker to maintain his own mental health. Fans of clinical mysteries will want to check this one out." ~ Publishers Weekly "In Chris Ryder, D.B. Carew has created a character with whom the reader will identify and feel sympathy. He is able to clearly express, through Ryder's own sometimes erratic behaviour, how those with mental issues are often judged and condemned on appearances alone. This in itself is not easy, but Carew manages to treat the story with compassion..." ~ Valerie Green, The Ormsby Review "Carew combines psychological insight with a keen sense of Lower Mainland atmosphere. The Weight of Blood is compassionate, thrilling, and timely." ~ Sam Wiebe, award-winning author of Cut You Down and Invisible Dead "A gripping thriller that also masterfully explores the complexity of mental health. Chris Ryder is a captivating, compelling, and compassionate character and it's impossible to not invest in his journey and well-being." ~ A.J. Devlin, award-winning writer of Cobra Clutch and Rolling Thunder
