About the Book

The sequel to Fall from Grace, "a genre-bender, its twists all the more startling for being unexpected" --Booklist Leo Desroches, a half-Cree, half-French-Canadian reporter in Edmonton, returns in A Killing Winter, the sequel to Wayne Arthurson's lauded debut murder mystery Fall from Grace. Undercover as a homeless man, Leo's got his hands full both on the job and in his personal life. As he tries to reconnect with his estranged son and fight his urge to gamble, he is consumed by a story that turns into a personal crusade: a search for a missing Native street kid he's befriended. When the boy is found brutally murdered, Leo explores the depths of Native street culture in a local gang. As Leo delves deeper into the gang, secrets emerge that threaten not only their members, but Leo's life...and his sanity.

About the Author :
WAYNE ARTHURSON, bestselling author of the first Leo Desroches mystery Fall from Grace, is, like his protagonist, the son of Cree and French Canadian parents. He has worked as a newspaper reporter, a drummer in a rock band, and as a freelance journalist. He lives in Edmonton, Canada.

Review :
"A very satisfying debut. Think Nancy Pickard for region and atmosphere, Brad Parks for journalism, and Timothy Hallinan for social concerns and attitude. Highly recommended." "Wise and compassionate, vivid and witty, Leo is the kind of character you feel you've known a long time. What a great read. I couldn't put it down." "Works splendidly as both a mystery and a character study. It looks like Arthurson has future Desroches novels planned. They've just been added to my 'must-read' list." Praise for "Fall from Grace" Praise for "Fall from Grace" "[A] clever debut. A good story with an engaging central character, the beginning of a promising series." "--The Globe and Mail "(Toronto) "Wise and compassionate, vivid and witty, Leo is the kind of character you feel you've known a long time. What a great read. I couldn't put it down." --Sparkle Hayter, bestselling author of the Robin Hudson mysteries "It's about time someone set a kick-ass crime novel in Edmonton, and Wayne Arthurson is the man to do it."--Giles Blunt, bestselling author of the late John Cardinal mysteries "A very satisfying debut. Think Nancy Pickard for region and atmosphere, Brad Parks for journalism, and Timothy Hallinan for social concerns and attitude. Highly recommended." "--Library Journal," starred review and Mystery Debut of the Month "Works splendidly as both a mystery and a character study. It looks like Arthurson has future Desroches novels planned. They've just been added to my 'must-read' list." "--Quill & Quire"
