When Hateley injured his back against St Johnstone on the Saturday before the game, Rangers fans felt that the hoodoo was destined to continue when the two sides met at a rain-soaked Hampden Park on 31 March 1992. Celtic, under Liam Brady, had hit form and their players had talked freely about how easy they had found the 2-0 win at Ibrox 10 days before. Rangers reached the semi-finals the hard way, winning at Pittodrie and Perth as well as coming from behind at home to holders Motherwell. The Scottish Cup had been a problem, however, with no win in over a decade and some embarrassments under Souness. With Goram finally finding his feet, Rangers drew in league leaders Hearts over the winter and powered towards a fourth championship on the spin, despite the odd moment of complacency such as an awful show at home to Celtic in March. With Maurice Johnston’s departure in November, Smith underlined his belief in the partnership of Mark Hateley and Ally McCoist and they repaid that faith with 115 goals between them in the next 17 months. “But he didn’t make any catches.” Mocked by his international skipper on BBC 1, pressure on Goram meant pressure on Smith.Īt the other end of the pitch, however, he had discovered alchemy. There are secrets buried in Crescent Cove, and the more Luke digs, the more he fears they might change the town forever.“Andy Goram took the two wickets,” Gordon Strachan replied. If he wants to prove his innocence and leave this town once and for all, Luke will have to use all his skills as a journalist to investigate the colorful locals while coming to terms with his own painful past. To make matters worse, the officer leading the investigation is a handsome Mountie with a chip on his shoulder who seems convinced that Luke is the culprit. The next morning, though, Luke discovers that the stranger has returned, and now he’s lying dead in the back garden. When a stranger starts making wild claims about Luke’s aunt, Luke sends him packing. Luke plans to sell everything and head back to Toronto as soon as he can…but Crescent Cove isn’t done with him just yet. Now, following his aunt’s sudden death, he’s inherited her entire estate, including her seaside cottage and the antiques shop she ran for forty years in Crescent Cove. He used to spend summers here, until his family learned that he was gay and rejected him. Crescent Cove, a small hamlet on Vancouver Island, is the last place out-of-work investigative journalist Luke Tremblay ever wanted to see again. In this queer cozy series debut perfect for fans of Ellen Byron and Ellery Adams, Luke Tremblay is about to discover that Crescent Cove has more than its fair share of secrets…and some might be deadlier than others.
