His expertise with the homeless situation is why DS Matt West (whose severed hand ended up in Portal's ravine garden in Free Reign) calls Portal in. Charington Simm, a film director, was shot as he exited his limo to attend the gala opening of his newest film at the Toronto International Film Festival. His daughter, Carrie, who was riding in the limo as well disappeared that night. West thinks she might be hiding out with some former friends from her homeless days. Portal knows some of those friends. One is his landlady, Tootie Beets. But Tootie has other things to think about because she has just found out her home is going to be expropriated. Every time Portal tries to talk to her about Carrie she changes the subject or disappears. Mind you no-one in Portal's life disappears forever, unless they are killed. As he investigates Carrie's whereabouts he sees a few deaths but he knows he is getting closer. Then Queenie, his friend from the homeless days, who has gone up north to attend school, provides the vital clue.
I think it would be best to read the previous two books, Free Reign and Feast of Stephen before reading this book but there is enough referencing to figure out the main details so it can stand alone. ( )
