When a new drug threatens the community a body -- the wrong body -- is found dead in a hearse, and then another drug-connected death occurs, and Tizzard knows he's dealing with a deadly menace in their quiet, close-knit community.
Windflower finds himself inexorably and not unhappily drawn back into the action, first in an unofficial role to help snare the drug dealers and then back to active duty in a community that desperately needs his steady hand and good judgement.
Our favorite Mountie, Sgt. Windflower and his fellow courageous cops in small-town Grand Bank, Newfoundland are back to fight a new threat in this compelling page-turner. Award-winning author Mike Martin once again brings us a stirring story, blending down-home Newfoundland charm with the warmth of family life.
“Windflower is a cook, a storyteller, a family man with contacts that stop you in your tracks with that special Windflower phrase or relationship. The setting is a story by itself. Together the author, Mike Martin, spins a tale centred in Grand Bank Newfoundland with colour, winter storms, crime, and Mounties that live on their stomachs.”
— Don Graves, Canadian Mystery Reviews
“Be prepared to be charmed by Windflower, a food-loving sergeant who could possibly be Canada’s most polite Mountie.”
— Halifax Chronicle-Herald
“Dangerous Waters is an engaging thriller with a superb cast”
— Kirkus Reviews (Summary via Ottawa Press and Publishing)

The Sgt. Windflower Mystery series follows Winston Windflower who works for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, his family and friends in Grand Bank, Newfoundland. As the series progresses there are a lot of changes in Windflower's life, some good, some bad and others great.
In Better Safe Than Sorry Windflower who is now the community safety office in Grand Banks and the surrounding areas is informed that there is a new deadly drug being distributed called Green Monsters. He begins to circulate and get the word out about this drug and the dangers of using it. And Windflower's close friend who is currently the Acting Inspector, Edward Tizzard, is looking into a dead body in a hearse. Once the hearse arrived to the funeral home, the funeral directed found out that it wasn't the body he was expected. The body, which is a young woman, has also not died of natural causes.
The office that Windflower works out of in Grand Bank was actually closed and the new detachment office is in nearby Marytown. The Marytown office is where Tizzard is stationed along with his wife Office Carrie Evanchuk. And things are going to get complicated and exciting soon with Tizzard having to look to Windflower for help .... lots of help. Unfortunately Windflower and his wife Sheila have a comfortable life with their two young daughters, Stella and Amelia Louise, and the bed and breakfast that is open in season and Windflower is safe in his new career.
Windflower will do anything for the law and his Mountie family as long as he isn't in danger and Sheila has given the green light on whatever he is being dragged into. And in Better Safe Than Sorry he is going to be dragged right into the middle of everything as his drug concerns will intertwine with things going on in Marytown with Tizzard.
