Synopsis: This police procedural set in 1970s Montreal is &“an enjoyable read . . . that immerses readers in a tumultuous period in Canadian history&” (Publishers Weekly). In the weeks before Montreal is to host the 1976 Summer Olympics, the police are bolstering security to prevent another catastrophe like the &’72 games in Munich. But it isn&’t tight enough to stop nearly three million dollars being stolen in a bold daytime Brink&’s truck robbery. As the high-profile heist continues to baffle the police, Constable Eddie Dougherty gets a chance to prove his worth as a detective on another case. He&’s assigned to assist in a Quebec suburb investigating the deaths of two teenagers returning from a rock concert across the Jacques Cartier Bridge. Were they mugged and thrown over the side? Or was it a murder-suicide? With tensions running high in the city and his career at stake, Dougherty is about to confront one of the most challenging cases of his life.
