Honour Among Men
An Inspector Green Mystery
RendezVous Press, Toronto, 2006

When an unidentified woman is drowned in the Ottawa River almost within sight of Parliament Hill, she has in her possession a train ticket from Halifax and a Medal for Bravery awarded during a 1993 peacekeeping mission in Yugoslavia. The investigation leads Green to Nova Scotia, where he learns she was the witness to her fiance's killing in a bar fight ten years earlier.

As Green and his team dig deeper into the military past, one of his detectives is brutally beaten, a street person disappears and Green finds himself sucked not only into the murky past of a peacekeeping unit but into the high-stakes present of a federal election race. What dark crime was committed in Yugoslavia more than a decade ago? Was someone still killing to prevent that secret from coming to light? And does the diary of a dead soldier hold the key?

Fifth Son
An Inspector Green Mystery
RendezVous Press, Toronto, 2004

Accident or suicide? That's the question facing Inspector Green when a vagrant returns to his childhood village after twenty years and falls to his death from the bell tower of an abandonned church. Villages identify the man as one of five sons from a farm family that was once close-knit and prosperous, but when Green tries to track down the missing sons, he finds only tragedy, madness, death.

"One exceptional mystery, with even more complex characters and tighter plotting. Fradkin's forte is the emotional cost of crime." - Ottawa Citizen

"All works beautifully right up to the twist at the end. The Inspector Green series gets better with every book." - The Globe and Mail

"A character-driven psychological thriller that's a page turner from page one." - Midwest Book Review

Mist Walker
An Inspector Green Mystery
RendezVous Press, Toronto, 2003 ISBN: 1-894917-03-0


Innocent scapegoat or monster manipulator? An idealistic young teacher is accused of molesting a young schoolgirl and acquitted in a sensational case that left the truth hidden and the teacher's life in tatters. Ten years later, his distraught confidante walks into Ottawa Police Inspector Michael Green's office insisting that he has vanished. Green's curiosity is piqued when he discovers that the teacher left behind his beloved dog and an apartment crammed with research related to his case. Has he fled to escape the wrath of victims, new or old? Or was he innocent all along and spent the last ten years trying to clear his name?

"Fradkin leads us through an unsettlingly realistic maze that lays bare the minefields surrounding pedophilia. But she does it with sensitivity, without sensationalism, and with a plot with legs. Mist Walker is the gold standard for the series." - Ottawa Citizen

"Fradkin's writing captures it all. Great narrative, dialogue and suspense."
- Reviewing the Evidence

"this powerful novel...should not be missed. Mist Walker is a great original work."
- I Love a Mystery
