Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

This is an exciting, stylishly written piece of Prohibition-era historical crime fiction with an occult element and an array of memorable characters. * Publishers Weekly * The second in Michael Januska's Border City Blues series is as slick as his debut. * Globe and Mail * [B]old and bewildering . . . * London Free Press * ...there's enough character in McCloskey to lead to a second tale. This is a writer to watch. -- Margaret Cannon * Globe and Mail * The book amply demonstrates that Riverside Drive was no fluke. Fans of the HBO series Boardwalk Empire need to check this one out right away. * Booklist (Chicago, IL) *

Reseña del editor:

It's the winter of 1923 and the border towns are under a deep freeze, with ferries ice-bound in the Detroit River, snow burying the streets, and power interruptions. Prohibition is still the backdrop to daily life, but opium smuggling and human trafficking are a pair of disturbing additions to the mix. 2015 DEWEY DIVA PICK In a failed attempt at transporting whisky across the Detroit River, a grim find is brought to the surface. When one of Detective Campbell's late-night walks is abruptly interrupted by a loud crash and a grisly thump, he summons his colleague Dr. Laforet to help with the case. Soon both cops and rumrunners are racing to connect the dots. With a whisper of the occult in the chill Windsor air, Campbell and Laforet are caught up in another mystery.
