It\u2019s Christmas Eve at a Toronto police station, and Inspector Lamb is no longer having a silent night. A drugged old man in a Santa hat and military uniform has been dropped on his doorstep. Around the man\u2019s neck: a butcher\u2019s hook spiked with a business card that reads \u201carrest me.\u201d \n\nThe cop makes two calls: to the lawyer on the card and an interpreter who speaks Lavinian. The lawyer arrives first.
