The Night the Gods Smiled

Eric Wright is the author of the Charlie Salter mysteries set in Toronto. This past year he wrote "The Last Hand" which is to be the last in the Charlie Salter series, so I decided to go back and read any novels in the series that I had missed. "The Night the Gods Smiled" is the first Charlie Salter mystery. David Summers, a professor at Douglas College in Toronto, is murdered in Montreal during an academic conference. When the Montreal police ask for help, Salter is called in on the case. He finds that Summers had attended the conference with many of his colleagues, one of whom disliked Summers very much. Salter must wade through a lot of suspects before he identifies the killer. This is a very good debut novel for this excellent police procedural series from Canada.
