Publisher Description

“One of the best novels of [the year]. . . Giles Blunt has a tremendous talent.” —Tony Hillerman
 
“Forceful . . . surprising . . . [Blunt’s] insights into suffering and madness give his characters their true voice.” —The New York Times
 
In the quiet Canadian town of Algonquin Bay, a frozen body has been found in an abandoned mine shaft. She is quickly identified as Katie Pine, a teenager who had disappeared months ago. At the time, Detective John Cardinal insisted that Katie was no ordinary runaway. His relentless pursuit and refusal to give up on the case got him demoted from Homicide. But now the Canadian police force wants Cardinal back on the case—with a new associate by his side. And as these two untrusting partners gather evidence of a serial murder spree, a pair of sociopaths is closing in on the next victim.

Io leggo ,

Dark and engaging

Tight prose, a splendid crime novel with wonderfully engaging characters that you will not forget. The Canadian atmosphere is incredibly well captured, you feel you are there, and cold!

Mean ppl ,

Wonderful!

I really loved this book! The atmosphere and scenery were so descriptive I felt I was there. Black Fly Season was the same way, I kept trying to shoo the flies away.
