WINNER 2015 — Arthur Ellis Award for Best Crime Novel
London, 1665. A serial killer stalks his prey, scalpel in his hand and God's vengeance in his heart.
Five years after his restoration to the throne, Charles II leads his citizens by example, enjoying every excess. Londoners have slipped the shackles of puritanism and now flock to the cockpits, brothels and, especially, the theatres, where for the first time women are allowed to perform alongside the men.
But not everyone is swept up in the excitement. Some see this liberated age as the new Babylon, and murder victims pile up in the streets, making no distinction in class between a royalist member of parliament and a Cheapside whore. But they have a few things in common: the victims are found with gemstones in their mouths. And they have not just been murdered; they've been . . . sacrificed.
Now the plague is returning to the city with full force, attacking indiscriminately . . . and murder has found a new friend.

From the well-known author whose books inspired the wildly popular Murdoch Mysteries TV series, comes the third WWII-era DI Tom Tyler mystery; for fans of Foyle's War, wartime dramas, and, of course, Maureen Jennings!
It's summer, 1942, and after a tough couple of years, DI Tom Tyler is making a fresh start in Ludlow, Shropshire. On the outskirts of town, St. Anne's Convalescent Hospital, staffed by nursing sisters who are Anglican nuns, has been established in an old manor house to help victims of the war to recover. After a horrifying double murder is discovered on the grounds, Tyler must figure out how the crime could have occurred in such a secluded and presumably impenetrable place, where most of the patients are unable to walk or are blind, or both, not to mention deeply traumatized.
To add to the puzzle, Tyler begins almost immediately to receive mysterious letters recounting terrible crimes far away. He realizes that he is not only seeking the murderer, but that the horrors of the war are closing in on this place that was meant to be a refuge.
Maureen Jennings, beloved author of the Murdoch novels that inspired the popular TV series (known as The Artful Detective in the US), surpasses herself in this vivid portrayal of wartime Britain, brilliantly blending a classic murder mystery with a deeply human story of how the effects of war live on far from the fields of battle.

2015 Arthur Ellis Award — Winner, Best First Novel • Globe and Mail 100: Best Books of 2014 • 2015 Kobo Emerging Writer Prize — Shortlisted, Best Mystery
Inspector Domenic Jejeune’s success has made him a poster boy for the U.K. police service. The problem is Jejeune doesn’t really want to be a detective at all; he much prefers watching birds.
Recently reassigned to the small Norfolk town of Saltmarsh, located in the heart of Britain’s premier birding country, Jejeune’s two worlds collide when he investigates the grisly murder of a prominent ecological activist. His ambitious police superintendent foresees a blaze of welcome publicity, but she begins to have her doubts when Jejeune’s most promising theory involves a feud over birdwatching lists. A second murder only complicates matters.
To unravel this mystery, Jejeune must deal with unwelcome public acclaim, the mistrust of colleagues, and his own insecurities. In the case of the Saltmarsh birder murders, the victims may not be the only casualties.

Twenty-nine-year-old Michael Drayton runs a private investigation agency in Vancouver that specializes in missing persons — only, as Mike has discovered, some missing people stay with you. Still haunted by the unsolved disappearance of a young girl, Mike is hired to find the vanished son of a local junk merchant. However, he quickly discovers that the case has been damaged by a crooked private eye and dismissed by a disinterested justice system. Worse, the only viable lead involves a drug-addicted car thief with gang connections.
As the stakes rise, Mike attempts to balance his search for the junk merchant's son with a more profitable case involving a necrophile and a funeral home, while simultaneously struggling to keep a disreputable psychic from bilking the mother of a missing girl.

Montréal, août 1891. Par un matin de canicule, on découvre le corps horriblement mutilé d'une prostituée dans une rue du Red Light. Ce meurtre est le premier d'une série comme jamais Montréal n'en a connu et qui ressemble à s'y méprendre aux assassinats commis par Jack l'Éventreur à Londres en 1888. Pourtant, étrangement, ni la police ni la presse ne s'y intéressent. Seul Joseph Laflamme, journaliste du quotidien Le Canadien en mal de travail, fouille l'affaire malgré l'opposition des autorités et des mystérieux francs-maçons.
Un fou imite-t-il le célèbre tueur ou Jack l'Éventreur lui-même a-t-il traversé l'Atlantique pour mieux sévir à Montréal ?

1378. Dans le cadre des fêtes entourant la visite de l’empereur germanique au roi de France, dame Mathilde Despréaux, riche négociante en vin, fait donner un grand spectacle. Au cours de la représentation, une comédienne est poignardée. Tout semble accuser Simon, le fils de la maison. Mathilde, sa mère, est la seule à le croire innocent. Déchirée de le voir encourir la peine de mort, elle supplie son oncle, venu du monastère où il s’est retiré afin d’assister aux célébrations, de le disculper.
À la demande du prévôt adjoint du Châtelet de Paris, Gervais d’Anceny rédige le compte-rendu de cette sordide affaire pour laquelle il s’est transformé en enquêteur. De retour au prieuré, il lit au jour le jour à un ami agonisant ce qu’il a couché sur le parchemin, et c’est en leur compagnie que l’on découvre le fin mot de l’histoire.
Avec cette première « Chronique de Gervais d’Anceny », Maryse Rouy revient au Moyen Âge, dont elle est spécialiste, et au polar, une combinaison qui lui a valu en 2003 le Prix Saint-Pacôme du roman policier pour « Au nom de Compostelle ». Grâce à un parfait équilibre entre le suspense et le portrait social, dans une langue qui puise adroitement au français de l’époque, elle excelle à satisfaire aussi bien les férus de romans historiques que les amateurs d’intrigues policières.
L’AUTEURE
Maryse Rouy a publié une trentaine de romans. Qu’ils s’adressent aux jeunes ou aux adultes, ils marient harmonieusement une recherche approfondie et les libertés de la fiction. Bien qu’elle se soit intéressée à diverses époques, le Moyen Âge reste sa période de prédilection.

Un double meurtre a été commis à la galerie Arts Visuels Actuels. Outre Gaston « Faby » Lessard, le propriétaire des lieux, Frédéric Fortier, lieutenant de police à la Ville de Montréal, fait partie des victimes et c’est pourquoi le sergent-détective Francis Pagliaro, de la Sûreté du Québec, est chargé de l’enquête.
En interrogeant les personnes avec lesquelles Lessard avait rendez-vous dans la journée, Pagliaro réalise que le galeriste était loin d’être un enfant de chœur. De fait, les arnaques et les fraudes dont l’enquêteur apprend l’existence au fil des jours le laissent pantois, lui qui avait toujours cru en la noblesse du monde des arts visuels. Or, si les mobiles pour tuer Lessard abondent, c’est l’inverse pour Fortier, un policier près de la retraite et à la carrière irréprochable.
Dès le début, Pagliaro a pris l’habitude de venir chaque soir sur les lieux du crime pour admirer les tableaux de l’exposition d’Andrew Garrison, intitulée Repentirs, ensemble de paysages et de personnages fugaces qui surgissent des palimpsestes picturaux de l’artiste peintre, mais aussi pour réfléchir sur son enquête, dont un des indices ne cesse de l’étonner : pourquoi donc l’assassin a-t-il pris soin de replacer dans son écrin la somptueuse dague, création d’une joaillière représentée par la galerie, dont il s’est servi pour semer la mort ?

Sand. Monkeys. Murder.
Ben Cooper was supposed to be on his Pacific honeymoon. Not waking up in a Costa Rican prison cell with no memory of the night before.
Then again, Ben never thought he would catch his fiancée with some clown — literally. Or that his friend Miguel would drag him to the surf paradise of Tamarindo before Aunt Mildred could ask why they cancelled the open bar reception.
But surely his friend and lawyer Victoria didn’t need to fly down from Toronto overnight. After all, the police would let him go once he sobered up and paid his fine. Right?
Except for the little matter of a murder. And Ben’s buying a beachside bar from the victim, hours before the man’s death.
With foreclosure looming and death threats piling up on the rum-soaked bar, they must turn to the wild idea that got them into this mess—building a business around those who’ve always wanted to run their own bar on a beach somewhere, even for just a week.
But to survive, they’ll need every skill at their disposal—including those they’d rather forget they have.

Detective Mervin Pratt is enjoying a quiet dinner at his favorite Italian restaurant when he's called in to assist at a murder scene at a popular downtown nightclub. The manager has been stabbed to death in his office. The lead investigator, Detective Gordon, no friend of Pratt's, sees it as an open-and-shut case. He has the suspect, motive and even the murder weapon. But Pratt is unwilling to jump to conclusions.
When Pratt's young partner, Dave Ellis, arrives on the scene uninvited and quietly tells Pratt that the suspect is his half brother, Pratt finds himself in an ethical dilemma. Ellis can have nothing to do with the investigation, and his connection to the case should be reported. On the other hand, Gordon's attempt to railroad the suspect and his outright antagonism to Pratt's involvement rub the detective the wrong way. The only solution, of course, is to solve the crime.
