Synopsis: Magpie is an overweight parolee surveillance officer. Her charge, Reggie, lives in the basement of her apartment block. Reggie has been convicted of sexual assault and murder — and now he has designs on Magpie.
“Because of her past, [Magpie} has never gotten along with men. Reggie, this week’s new transient . . . soon finds out that he has met his match in the boisterous landlord. The intensity between the two swells to a thrilling conclusion.” – Derek Loewen, The Uniter
