Young Doug Pearce, just fired from his steady job in the brewery, has never strayed far from home. But he’s always been fascinated by stories of his dead Uncle Russ, the family black sheep. So when an old friend of his uncle invites him to Toronto, he accepts. On arrival, he learns that wealthy and glamorous Edna has an agenda: she has assembled enough clues to solve the murder of Russell Pearce and to recover a legendary red diamond he was thought to be smuggling.

Doug, nervous but game, jets off to Morocco to play detective, but by the end of his first day in Casablanca, he knows he’s made a mistake. From Morocco to Singapore, whether escaping across rooftops, ducking bullets in a high-speed chase, or killing time in a crowded Egyptian jail, Doug is sure of one thing: he has no clue what he’s doing.

Quotes & Awards

  • “Relative Danger is as exciting as a magnum of Dom Perignon.”

    Carolyn G. Hart, author of Dead by Midnight

  • “Smashingly good…With much wit and invention, Benoit convincingly portrays the Middle East. A hilarious account of chaos in the Cairo airport reads like an updated scene from Mark Twain’s Innocents Abroad…Benoit is a rare discovery.”

    Publishers Weekly

  • “Where has Benoit been hiding? With a debut novel this good, it’s hard to believe he hasn’t published at least ten previous books. Every element of this rollicking adventure shines, from its suspenseful, globetrotting plot to its nicely rounded characters.”

    Booklist

  • “Lawlor captures Doug’s skeptical, easygoing nature and the breathless action of this bullet-speed story. Listeners will delight in his vocal prowess—the gravelly voice of a Russian museum curator, the seductive tones of a wily Moroccan beauty, and the insouciance of an Arabian who mimics famous actors.”

    Booklist
  • A 2005 Barry Award Finalist for Best First Novel
  • A 2005 Edgar Allan Poe Award Nominee for Best First Novel

    " the book was OK. i liked the basic plot/premise (a great suspense/thriller writer could do amazing things with it), but the author's execution on the action narrative and some of the dialogue left me a bit disappointed. also, i thought most of his "twists" at the end were very predictable. "
