(Publishers Weekly)
A high-profile heist at the 1976 Olympics and the deaths of two
teenagers baffle the police, and Constable Eddie Dougherty must prove
himself
In the weeks before Montreal is set to host the 1976 Summer Olympics,
the police are bolstering security to prevent another catastrophe like
the '72 games in Munich. But it isn't tight enough to stop nearly three
million dollars being stolen in a bold daytime Brink's truck robbery.
As the high-profile heist continues to baffle the police, Constable
Eddie Dougherty gets a chance to prove his worth as a detective on
another case. He's assigned to assist in a Quebec suburb investigating
the deaths of two teenagers returning from a rock concert across the
Jacques Cartier Bridge. Were they mugged and thrown over the side? Or
was it a murder-suicide? With tensions running high in the city and his
career at stake, Dougherty is about to confront one of the most
challenging cases of his life.
