The House on Bathurst Street

For Detective Chief Inspector Cameron Salnicki, who has served with the Toronto Metropolitan Police Force for almost two decades, murder is something he often sees on the streets. But the murder of a young prostitute offers him something different when it seems to link to a suspicious group of young men from Jamaica living in crammed quarters in a house on Bathurst Street. Only it turns out that the "Jamaicans" are actually a terrorist sleeper cell from Somalia, and they are not the only group with nefarious plans. Soon Salnicki discovers there are also terrorist cells made up of Kenyans and Tunisians and that they might be supported by Russia and the Ukraine. With involvement from Mossad, M16, and CSIS, Salnicki and his team must sift through the ever-thickening plot to stop the terrorists before they act and Canadian lives are lost.

In Detective Chief Inspector Cameron Salnicki, author Ken Swan has created a memorable and likable, tough, tell-it-like-it-is character who also likes dancing, cooking, women, card games, and drinking gimlets. His distinctive way of looking at the world and his humour punch through The House on Bathurst Street, making this both an exciting police novel and an enjoyable read.
