      -- Dead of winter
      2017., Linda Leith Editions Call No: FR QWF Fic Kir    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Dès le premier chapitre, le lecteur est saisi par lœécriture serrée et haletante de Peter Kirby. Lœauteur donne au meurtre d'une itinérante les allures dœun acte de miséricorde dans une scène lugubre et lourde de non-dits. Lœintrigue policière dynamique et efficace interpellera particulièrement les lecteurs de Kathy Reichs, de Ian Rankin et de Umberto Eco. Vaste fresque urbaine sombre qui laisse peu de place à lœespoir, le roman parle fort et séduit par lœoriginalité de son propos.En compagnie de lœinspecteur Luc Vanier, un homme vidé, cynique et aux convictions fragiles, nous traquons un tueur énigmatique qui sœacharne sur les plus vulnérables de la société.Lœenquête explore à la fois les hauts lieux de la société québécoise l'Église catholique et les bureaux de l'élite montréalaise comme les abris de fortune et les soupes populaires où se réfugient les dépossédés. Au cours de cet hiver interminable, la cruauté de la ville peuplée dœétonnants personnages laissera le lecteur glacé dœeffroi.En lice pour le prix canadien du polar « Arthur Ellis pour le meilleur premier roman.Traduit de lœanglais (Canada) par Rachel Martinez.

As the threats against him mount, Vanier fights to prove his innocence and discover who really controls the streets. Have the government and police stepped back to allow the militia to impose order? Is the militia the price of order when governments run out of money?.
