When Vancouver photographer Tom McCall's former lover walks back into his life, he knows trouble can't be far behind. She's stolen from him in the past, taking much more than his heart. Now she needs his help. Can McCall resist? No. But when she disappears a few days later, McCall is left facing far worse danger than he'd ever imagined. He's not the only one she has ripped off. Others are out to get her and they're sure McCall knows where she is. "Michael Blair's If Looks Could Kill is, by turns, as darkly evocative as film noir, and as breezy as a spring day on Granville Island. There are many pleasures here: a witty hero obsessed with a woman as dangerous as she is lovely, a white knuckle mystery, and a lively cast of West Coast characters." – Gail Bowen, author of the Joanne Kilbourn mystery series.
