Inhaltsangabe

Troutstream is an ordinary suburb of Ottawa peopled by the most extraordinary characters. But beneath the staid, sleepy surface of neighbourhood life rages a riot of tensions, rivalries and suspicions. As a serial killer begins to stalk these neat streets, murdering and mutilating young girls, the residents are forced to consider the possibility of a core of evil at the heart of their community.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

"Troutstream is... a vision of ourselves that is funny and strange, probably more true than we'd like to believe. An extraordinary first novel." --Charles Foran

"A superb novel, an elegant commentary on the wasted state of Canadian and North American suburban culture." --The Globe and Mail

"Readable and obscure, structured and out-of-control, funny and horrifying. It should be read and re-read and talked about." --Ottawa Citizen
