Description
Set amid the tumult of 1970 Montreal, this is "an extremely good crime novel [with] a seriously compelling mystery" (Booklist).The police in Montreal have their hands full as FLQ, a militant separatist group, continue a campaign of violence. Bombs explode at the stock exchange and at McGill University. Riots break out at a parade. Diplomat James Cross and government minister Pierre Laporte are kidnapped--and the Canadian army moves onto the streets. But while all this is going on, the "Vampire Killer" has murdered three women and a fourth is missing.
A young beat cop finds himself almost alone hunting the serial killer, as the rest of the force focuses on the crisis. Constable Eddie Dougherty, the son of a French mother and an Irish-Canadian father, is determined to take matters into his own hands before another victim dies . . .
From the acclaimed author of the Toronto series, Black Rock is "a superb police procedural . . . set against the backdrop of a seminal period in Canadian history" (Winnipeg Free Press).
"Excellent . . . Well done history and a really good plot line." --The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
