Found it difficult to engage with any of the characters.
A NetGalley book.

Greg is a serial bank robber - for the kicks, and the money gives him a living - and master of disguise. Until his latest where he kills a customer and takes their briefcase.

An okay story.

In cold and rainy Vancouver, Canada, an odd assortment of people are being picked off by a sniper who carefully prepares for each kill by dressing his male self in gaudy drag. The Vancouver police are truly stumped. This is Gough's first book and introduces Vancouver homicide detectives Jack Willows and Clare Parker. He has an interesting way with characters and I'm anxious to read the next in the series to see what is 'first book' and what is regular Gough.
