+ Want to read

Set amid Montreal's police strike and the political turmoil of 1969, this gripping mystery follows Ty Davis, a young television reporter, as he is drawn into an underworld of violence and chaos following an explosion at the home of the mayor. While an innocent colleague is accused of the crime, Davis and his family are caught in a web of drug smuggling and murder—a fascinating story of Montreal's seedier side during a time of great change.
