À propos de cet audio
Blue Star, a gripping series opener, introduces Detective Sergeant Alex Desocarras, an Indigenous RCMP officer stationed in the town of 100 Mile House in British Columbia’s beautiful and rugged South Cariboo. Alex Desocarras has been a police officer for fifteen years. His solve rate is legendary, but his latest case has his gut in a knot. Carey Bolton, a Gits'ilaasü girl, is kidnapped one night after soccer practice. An anonymous tip that she was taken to an address in Vancouver, BC –1,200 kilometres from home, proved to be a dead end when the VPD reported the house empty. When the kidnapping of Anishinaabe filmmaker, Morgan O’Meara, lands in Desocarras’ jurisdiction, Sergeant Jeri Fernice, VPD Missing Persons, reaches out with evidence that links the O’Meara and Bolton kidnappings. Following his first real lead, gleaned from a tweet meant for O’Meara, Desocarras is forced undercover when he identifies yet another victim and a high-ranking RCMP officer becomes his main suspect.
Please Note: The subject of Blue Star is human trafficking, which may be triggering for some listeners.

“This well-paced procedural, told from the perspective of the victims, police officers, and criminologists on the case, ties in stories of past and present abuse. After 11-year-old Carey Bolton is abducted from her hometown in northern British Columbia, her cousin, a student in Vancouver, enlists the help of Morgan O’Meara, a filmmaker and teacher of Anishinaabe and Irish heritage. Morgan and her partner, Lucas Arenas, who’s a Guatemalan immigrant of Ixil-Maya descent and professor of criminology, begin looking into the disappearance with and without the help of police. Things become dangerous for Morgan after she visits a seedy flophouse and a swanky members’ club; she survives an attack, thanks to a passerby who happens to be off-duty detective sergeant Alex Desocarras." — Kirkus Reviews
