The ambitious city
If a local biker war isn't enough -- 7 shrink-wrapped corpses found buried between the barns on a nearby farm -- MacNeice receives a desperate phone call from his old friend, the mayor of Dundurn. Dredging is nearly completed on the ambitious waterfront project the mayor hopes will revive his mini rust belt of a city, but the whole thing may be about to come off the rails: the dredgers have turned up 6 more bodies at the bottom of the lake, and 2 of them, encased in concrete, are fairly fresh.

Summary
The Ambitious City : A MacNeice Mystery
The gripping second installment of the MacNeice Mysteries reads like a crossover episode between Sons of Anarchy and Dexter , as Detective Superintendent MacNeice and his team face off against a gang of violent bikers and a bloodthirsty serial killer... As a local biker war rages -- seven shrink-wrapped corpses have been found buried on a farm just outside of Dundurn -- an ambitious waterfront project meant to revive the dying industrial city is underway. Dredging is nearly complete when six more bodies turn up at the bottom of the lake. With the body count rising, the situation in Dundurn escalates as a serial killer begins targeting the city's successful young women of colour. Outgunned by the bikers and outmaneuvered by the serial killer, MacNeice convinces Fiza Aziz, the young Muslim detective who burned out on their last case together, to come back to the force. Things go well until Aziz deliberately puts herself in the killer's sights...
