Описание книги

First published in 1996 immediately following the narrow referendum victory by the Quebec Federalists, Death in October has become a Canadian classic. Out of print for many years, the book has become a collector's item, new copies selling in some quarters for well over $100! At the urging of his many fans and readers Lowell has updated and added chapters to this book and as you can see has re-printed a much more modern hard cover version. What many will find interesting is that although written more than 15 years ago, the relationship between Quebec and the rest of Canada is startlingly similar to what it was when this book was first written. In fact, writes Lowell, the premise of the plot line in this book is even more probably today that it was in 1996. Most agree that Canadians today are far less sympathetic to Quebec's demands today than ever before.

Отрывок из книги

We are frozen with fear!

The body of Quebec’s Minister of Labour has just been found in a car in the St. Hubert Airport parking lot near Montreal. He has been strangled with the chain of the crucifix hanging around his neck.

.....

Charron paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts, glancing briefly at Boisvert. “Oui, oui,” he muttered to himself in French, then said in English. “You are probably right, but then again some things puzzle us. You are police, you put some pieces together for us.” He stopped, waiting for a response, then continued when there was none. “Okay, first off, by the time you heard that car pull away, we had already been alerted and were setting up road blocks. We figure the one at Ste Rose de Peche went up no more than twenty minutes after the shots were fired and probably only about fifteen minutes after you heard the car drive away. Speeding like a crazy man, you could clear Ste Rose in less time than that, but ten minutes later we had another roadblock at Domville. That’s a good forty-five kilometres to the north of Ste Rose. The kidnapper’s car couldn’t possibly have made it that far in that time.

It was Boisvert who responded. “Yes they could have stayed in this area, although it’s not likely, but as for walking around the roadblocks, where’s the car? Our men have checked every side road and every field large enough to park a car within walking distance of the roadblocks and have found nothing, but even so, if that’s all that was puzzling about this we wouldn’t be as concerned. The fact is, there are a few other things hard to explain. The hair in Mr. Henry’s car. That means someone...excuse me...whoever kidnapped the daughter must have hung around waiting until the father arrived...knowing he would abandon his car and run to the house!” The little detective shot both eyebrows skyward, dangerously close to his hairline. “And...you really have to ask yourself, why would anyone leave a car and run a good half kilometre instead of drive? And how could the kidnappers have possibly known he was going to do that? Getting back to your friend’s little jog down the laneway, you must have asked yourself why he would leave his car here at the gate and run all the way to the house, keeping in mind, of course, he was in a great hurry.”
