Bright Shining as the Sun: An Émile Cinq-Mars Novel

By John Farrow

John Farrow's bold storytelling is classic crime fiction and psychological thriller, drawing readers into the dark and deeply immersive world of iconic Sergeant-Detective mile Cinq-Mars. While recovering from a gunshot wound, Cinq-Mars receives word of a triple gangland homicide. The accused is in custody, in hospital recovering from injuries received at the scene of the crime - but then the stakes intensify when the officer on guard is found murdered in the prisoner's washroom. Despite having been handcuffed to his bed, the prisoner is the only suspect in that killing as well. Penetrating one gang's hierarchy, to discern who betrays whom and why, is vital to disentangle lies from truth, deceit from loyalty... and Cinq-Mars quickly finds he is racing against gangs and cops who seek their own warring justice - while knocking on death's door himself. With its imaginative premise and intricate structure, Bright Shining As the Sun melds vivid, artful storytelling in this intellectually stimulating and emotionally affecting story of profound brotherly love that has brokered the lives of men distorted by inflamed familial dysfunction. This is the 11th book in the Cinq-Mars adventure
