Includes Cold Wave by Marcelle Dubé, winner of the Crime Writers Of Canada Award of Excellence for Best Short Story.
Western Canada. A vast and varied land of hidden coastal islands and inlets, towering icy mountains, wind-tossed ranges and wheat fields, and cold lakes that keep their secrets. These are its stories.
In The Potluck Brigade, visit a dying Alberta town and a senior citizen trying to cope with murder as well as her own failing mind. The police procedural Local Intelligence follows a young RCMP constable in an isolated coastal town facing a most unusual collection of flotsam. In Salty Dog Blues, the crew and passengers on a west coast cruise ship confront a mystery involving a verrry annoying little passenger. In the Yukon, Cold Wave forces a lone cross-country skier to choose between personal safety and saving her friends.
News on the Buckhorn brings us to British Columbia ranch country in a taut suspense tale of a timid young girl dealing with the mutilation of her show horse. Visit the prairies early in the Great War when a North West Mounted Police officer investigates an unlamented death in Autumn is a Time for Dying. An Okanagan bed and breakfast owner takes the stage in the rollicking A Midwinter Night's Scream to solve a tinsel-draped celebrity death. Finally, in Pickled to Death, a small BC town's annual Pickle Festival descends into chaos for a peck of unusual characters following the untimely demise of a pickle aficionado.
From thrilling to wistful to laugh-out-loud funny, these short stories draw the reader into a Canadian West where maple meets murder.
