"An Inspector Ramirez novel"--Cover.

"This Simon & Schuster Canada edition June 2015"--Title page verso.

Inspector Ricardo Ramirez investigates a string of dead prostitutes from Cuba to Canada in this cleverly plotted mystery from award-winning author Peggy Blair. Havana is under a full moon. Inspector Ricardo Ramirez knows murders always multiply when there's a full moon, and this time is no exception. As he investigates a vandal in the art world, a ghost appears by his side...a sure sign that another murder victim is on the way. Ramirez's fears are confirmed when a dead prostitute is found in Havana with nylons wrapped tightly around her neck, a technique that mirrors his only cold case. Meanwhile, another woman's body is discovered in a similar condition on a First Nation reserve in Northern Ontario, and Detective Charlie Pike must determine whether the murder is a stand-alone crime or if the Highway Strangler has struck again. Before long, both detectives find themselves chasing a killer whose reach extends further than they could have imagined. Gritty and chilling, Hungry Ghosts follows Inspector Ramirez as he struggles to piece together the clues and track down an international serial killer before his own government silences him.
