title: The Woman in Black
author: Natan, Rene
description: When Savina Thompson, an ex-police agent and amateur performer, is asked to impersonate a call girl, she’s at first flabbergasted and only with reluctance she accepts to play that role. It’s needed to help the police penetrate the criminal ring that plagues the town of Varlee, Ontario. It’s part of a daring operation engineered by Chief Detective Conrad Tormez. Using a new speech emulation system, he wants to replace The Woman in Black, a recently deceased member of the criminal gang, with Savina.
  Operation Woman in Black isn’t the only challenge Conrad Tormez has to face. For the last year he’s been searching for Isabel, his mentally-impaired teenage daughter. Then one day he finds her—living in a log cabin in the Rocky Mountains, together with a baby and a wolf. A loving father, yet a cunning detective, Conrad Tormez has to balance every minute of the day between parenting and police work. To complicate things, Savina falls in love with a man she is supposed to keep at a distance.
  As operation Woman in Black progresses, Conrad Tormez realizes that the mastermind of the criminal ring is a formidable opponent—his deadly tentacles can reach anybody, anywhere, anytime.
