These mysteries, and seventeen more, can be found in A Capital Mystery, an anthology of short stories that span the length, breadth and history of Ottawa, Canada's capital city.Some of our mysteries are set in modern times, some reach all the way back to Bytown, Ottawa's original settlement.

A Capital Mystery is a book that celebrates the magic, history and most of all - mystery - that is Ottawa.
