The Diplomat’s Dagger

The Diplomat’s Dagger 
A Mick & Mack Mystery featuring Rupert “Rupe” Loxley

At a glittering diplomatic gala in Toronto’s historic King Edward Hotel, a foreign ambassador collapses mid-toast—stabbed with a blade no one saw and hidden beneath a sash meant for ceremony, not secrecy.

Detectives Mick McCathie and Mack MacNeely are plunged into a high-stakes case tangled in Cold War intrigue, where suspects come with diplomatic immunity, and the wrong arrest could spark an international incident. At the centre of it all? Rupert “Rupe” Loxley—charming, elusive, and possibly the most dangerous man in the room.

From stolen paintings at the Art Gallery of Toronto to whispered threats in velvet-draped clubs, Mick and Mack chase a killer through the city’s most elite circles. But when the murder weapon turns out to be a British stiletto issued to wartime spies, old alliances crack—and even older secrets rise to the surface.

Can Mick and Mack unravel the web before another blade falls? Or will their slickest suspect vanish behind his next silk pocket square?
