Motive: Foreign Relations

POVZETEK

The victim: Julian Bishop, a British national and a fourth year History major at the University of British Columbia. The killer: Whitney Fraser, an up and coming local fashion designer. Julian's dead body is discovered next to a beach the night after his fraternity hosted a party. Julian's mother, Rosemary Bishop, a high profile British politician, has had death threats made against her before. As such, the British government has requested that Interpol be involved to investigate the possibility that an assassin was hired to kill Julian. Interpol assigns London-based Agent Jack Stoker. All that are involved on the case from the Canadian side of the ocean are intrigued by Stoker, who adds a bit of flair to the investigation. Julian was last seen by his fraternity brothers leaving the party with an unknown slightly older woman. There are reports that Julian was also seen recently with a geeky young woman, someone who was not generally his type. Both these women may provide some key evidence into Julian's murder. Stoker's knowledge of the threats against Julian's mother may also provide useful in uncovering exactly what Julian himself was up to prior to his murder. Meanwhile, Oscar continues to take flack from Chief Wells for how he has dealt publicly with the Susan Bailin case. And Betty updates Brian among others on the Tim Kelly case.
