This is a terrifying psychological thriller in which a spate of suicides could just be the work of a serial killer; featuring homicide detectives Cardinal and Delorme from the award-winning "Forty Words for Sorrow". When John Cardinal's wife plummets to her death after losing her battle with depression, everyone is sure it is a tragic suicide - there's even a note. Everyone, that is, except Detective John Cardinal. Stricken with grief and guilt, Cardinal launches his own investigation, helped by his reluctant colleagues. When mysterious notes appear, taunting him for his loss, his theory suddenly seems to be credible. Cardinal revisits his past, searching for a possible suspect among his previous arrests. Someone is with a grudge, a person twisted enough to target his innocent wife in revenge. But, when more mysterious suicides are discovered, the investigation takes a very different turn, leading to a startling new possibility - one so shocking, it has never been suspected!

Praise for Forty Words For Sorrow: 'Intensely vivid characters, terrible crimes and a brutal deep-frozen landscape all prove beyond a reasonable doubt that cold nurtures good and evil as readily as heat!and that Giles Blunt is a really tremendous crime novelist'.Lee Child 'One of the finest crime novels I've ever read. Giles Blunt writes with uncommon grace, style and compassion and he plots like a demon. This book has it all -- unforgettable characters, beautiful language, throat-constricting suspense.' Jonathan Kellerman 'A superior Canadian police procedural with an evocative sense of place: the frozen lakes and forests are as integral to the plot as the flawed detective! an impressive achievement.' Guardian 'A highly professional tour de force: excellently plotted, with fleshed-out characters and a well-portrayed interesting setting.' Independent 'As fine a police procedural as any written in the USA... as fresh as morning dew... never less than fascinating throughout'. Independent on Sunday 'A taut and enthralling tale that is as dark as the Canadian winter setting is cold. Humane, intelligent and gripping, "Forty Words for Sorrow" is a haunting journey into the human heart in all its complexities.' Val McDermid 'A fine debut that deserves to do well, and promises much from a talented new author.' Time Out 'A highly professional tour de force.' Evening Standard Praise for 'The Delicate Storm': 'Another well-structured story with sharply-drawn characters.' Sunday Telegraph 'The most horrifying story since 'The Silence of the Lambs" Los Angeles Times
