2024., Adult, McClelland & Stewart Call No: NEW IND MYS Fic Tay Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: A tragic plane crash that leaves two women stranded and fighting for their lives kicks off this sweeping and hilarious novel from award-winning writer Drew Hayden Taylor that blends thriller, murder mystery, and horror with humour and spectacle. Elmore Trent is a professor of Indigenous studies who finds himself entangled in an affair that's ruining his marriage; Paul North plays in the IHL (Indigenous Hockey League), struggling to keep up with the game that's passing him by; Detective Ruby Birch is chasing a string of gruesome murders, with clues that conspicuously lead her to both Elmore and Paul. And then there's Fabiola Halan, former journalist-turned-author and famed survivor of a plane crash that sparked a nationwide tour promoting her book. What starts off as a series of subtle connections between isolated characters quickly takes a menacing turn, as it becomes increasingly clear that someone--or something--is hunting them all. Taking tropes from murder mystery, police procedural, thriller, and horror, Drew Hayden Taylor weaves a pulse-pounding and propulsive narrative with an intricate cast of characters, while never losing the ability to make you laugh. Cold takes Indigenous myth and folklore and thrusts it into the modern streets of Toronto, exploring themes of displacement and trauma, as well as offering playful satirical critiques of the current landscape of Indigenous literature.

As we enter the story, Jack, Murdoch's estranged son, now twenty-one, has returned from France after being wounded and gassed at the Battle of Passchendaele. The night after Jack arrives home, a young man is found stabbed to death in the impoverished area of Toronto known as the Ward. Soon after, Murdoch has to deal with a tragic suicide, also a young man. Two more murders follow in quick succession.

2005., McClelland & Stewart Call No: 363.12 A298b Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "When the two men charged with planning and executing the 1985 Air-India bombings were acquitted on all charges in March 2005, Canadians across the country were shocked. What had looked like an open-and-shut case had fallen apart in the courtroom, and our sense of justice was deeply offended. Clearly, we hadn't heard the full story, nor had the judge. So what really did happen and how did the most expensive investigation and trial in Canadian history end without a conviction?" "One of the few who knows the whole story is reporter Kim Bolan, who has stubbornly pursued the facts of what remains Canada's first and worst terrorist act for twenty years, placing her own life in danger while uncovering the details of the plot and the actions of the conspirators. She probably should have been a witness at the trial, but decided she would rather report on the proceedings. But she tells us now in Loss of Faith just what she knows. It is an outstanding and hair-raising account of mass murder and deception that pieces together the cowardly plot and the conspirators' successful twenty-year evasion of justice. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
