The Dead of Winter

By Peter Kirby

Fiction. Inspector Luc Vanier is drinking his way through Christmas Eve when he is called out to investigate the murder of five homeless people. His investigation takes him into the backrooms of the Catholic Church, the boardrooms of Montreal's business elite and the soup kitchens and back alleys of street life in winter. Taut.

Believable.-- Montreal Review of Books Irishman Kirby joins John Brady and Peter Robinson in the ranks of the best English and Irish ex-pat crime novelists living in Canada.-- Nuacht One of the pleasures of Kirby's novel is the setting.
