Good friends, good food, and a mystery that could change everything.
Friends are Forever brings readers back to the beloved shores of Grand Bank, Newfoundland, where RCMP Sergeant Winston Windflower and his colleagues gather to celebrate promotions—and face an unexpected wave of crime.
As families and friends toast new beginnings in Marystown, a sophisticated heist orchestrated by international mobsters and local biker gangs sweeps across the province. Banks and businesses lose hundreds of thousands of dollars—and the Mounties soon realize that more than money is slipping away.
In this sixteenth installment of the award-winning Sgt. Windflower Mystery series, Mike Martin once again captures the unique charm of Newfoundland and Labrador. Readers will find themselves immersed in a close-knit community that values the simpler joys of life: por’ cakes, movie nights, a lighthouse in need of a facelift, and the unshakable warmth of family and friendship—even as shadows gather on the horizon.
🏆 Praise for the Sgt. Windflower Mystery Series:
"The Sgt. Windflower Mystery series is so much more than just stories about criminals and the amazing police force that catch them. This series is about commitment, dedication, love, family, friendship, good food—and a lot more."
— Cozy Mystery Book Reviews
"Master storyteller Mike Martin has created a singularly unique concept in the Sgt. Windflower Mystery series by blending police procedures with Cree spiritual traditions. The series abounds with life lessons. He has cleverly crafted an elaborately complex series wisely presenting a myriad of human foibles and the challenges faced by his protagonist."

"It always feels like going home to all the wonderful characters, especially Sergeant Windflower—who is strong, caring, sensitive, intelligent, and brave in his position on the RCMP."
