The Last Witness by John Matthews

Elena Waldren has a secret; a secret she’s carefully built fences around for the last twenty-nine years and kept from everyone: close friends, family and, most importantly, herself. But through her work with a London aid agency, her fears about the plight of a young girl placed with a nearby family finally set her on a quest to uncover the past that she’s pushed away for so long. A quest that leads her into the dangerous heart of Montreal’s leading crime family, the Lacailles.

Striving to move away from their criminal roots, the Lacaille brothers are at odds over their business aims for the future. Caught in the middle is the money-man holding the key to legitimizing their enterprises, Georges Donatien. But as much as Donatien could be their saviour, he is also the last witness to a murder that could bring their empire crashing down.

Time is fast running out for Donatien. And as the police net closes in and Elena faces her final hurdles, she discovers the cruellest fate of all: the key to her past might now be concealed for ever. . .
