Set amid the tumult of 1970 Montreal, this is “an extremely good crime novel [with] a seriously compelling mystery” (Booklist). The police in Montreal have their hands full as FLQ, a militant separatist group, continue a campaign of violence. Bombs explode at the stock exchange and at McGill University. Riots break out at a parade. Diplomat James Cross and government minister Pierre Laporte are kidnapped—and the Canadian army moves onto the streets. But while all this is going on, the “Vampire Killer” has murdered three women and a fourth is missing. A young beat cop finds himself almost alone hunting the serial killer, as the rest of the force focuses on the crisis. Constable Eddie Dougherty, the son of a French mother and an Irish-Canadian father, is determined to take matters into his own hands before another victim dies . . . From the acclaimed author of the Toronto series, Black Rock is “a superb police procedural . . . set against the backdrop of a seminal period in Canadian history” (Winnipeg Free Press). “Excellent . . . Well done history and a really good plot line.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

François Vallé and His World

In Francois Valle and His World, Carl Ekberg provides a fascinating biography of Francois Valle (1716-1783), placing him within the context of his place and time. Valle, who was born in Beauport, Canada, immigrated to Upper Louisiana (the Illinois Country) as a penniless common laborer sometime during the early 1740s. Engaged in agriculture, lead mining, and the Indian trade, he ultimately became the wealthiest and most powerful individual in Upper Louisiana, although he never learned to read or write. Ekberg focuses on Upper Louisiana in colonial times, long before Lewis and Clark arrived in the Mississippi River valley and before American sovereignty had reached the eastern bank of the Mis...

Reynolds Co, MO

(From the Preface) “The author has attempted to show how the original five counties in 1812 were divided and sub-divided until, by 1862, 114 counties had emerged. Reynolds County at one time, at least in part, has been a portion of seven counties; Ste. Genevieve, Cape Girardeau, Washington, Wayne, Madison, Ripley, and Shannon.”
