This police procedural set in 1970s Montreal is "an enjoyable read . . . that immerses readers in a tumultuous period in Canadian history" (Publishers Weekly)

A high-profile heist at the 1976 Olympics and the deaths of two teenagers baffle the police, and Constable Eddie Dougherty must prove himself

In the weeks before Montreal is set 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.

Industry Reviews

“Eddie Dougherty is the kind of guy who grows on you, and now, in John McFetridge’s third Dougherty novel, Eddie is in full bloom as a solid character and an intuitively smart cop … A McFetridge book at his excellent best.” — Toronto Star
