Book Description
Rip Van Winkle was a mere cat-napper compared to Mark Nevin who went to sleep in 1939 and up six thousand years later. That was confusing enough without being elected by a prankish, disembodied intelligence to be the father of the future race, and chosen by a smooth-tongued rebel as king of a crazy country Mark had never even heard of. A sparkling and fast-moving tale of adventures in the Days to Come....

The Storm Murders
Author: John Farrow
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466873833
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
In this “smart . . . enthralling” mystery, a Montreal detective investigates a puzzling murder when a married couple is found dead in their remote rural home (Publishers Weekly, starred review). City of Ice, John Farrow’s first book in his acclaimed Emile Cinq-Mars series, which has been hailed by Booklist as “one of the best series in crime fiction,” has been published in over seventeen countries. Now with The Storm Murders, the series continues. On the day after a massive blizzard, two policemen are called to an isolated farm house sitting all by itself in the middle of a pristine snow-blanketed field. Inside the lonely abode are two dead people. But there are no tracks in the snow leading either to the house or away. What happened here? Is this a murder/suicide case? Or will it turn into something much more sinister? “One of the best mysteries from Canada in some time, this fourth book in a strong series is equally good at capturing the atmosphere of New Orleans and the distinctive qualities of Montreal.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review “Farrow has written an excellent thriller in which characters, plot, and setting score a triple for suspense.” —Library Journal, starred review “Farrow brings a literary fiction writer’s sensitivity to nuance and feel for landscape to this fine, character-rich thriller with a bang-up finish. Add Cinq-Mars to your shortlist of favorite retired Montreal detectives, including, of course, Penny’s Armand Gamache.” —Booklist
