IF YOU FLEE FATE... When Detective Sime Mackenzie is sent from Montreal to investigate a murder on the remote Entry Island, 850 miles from the Canadian mainland, he leaves behind him a life of sleeplessness and regret. FATE WILL FIND YOU… But what had initially seemed an open-and-shut case takes on a disturbing dimension when he meets the prime suspect, the victim's wife, and is convinced that he knows her - even though they have never met. And when his insomnia becomes punctuated by dreams of a distant Scottish past in another century, this murder in the Gulf of St. Lawrence leads him down a path he could never have foreseen, forcing him…

When a murder rocks the isolated community of Entry Island, insomniac homicide detective Sime Mackenzie boards a light aircraft at St. Hubert airfield bound for the small, scattered chain of Madeline Islands, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, as part of an eight-officer investigation team from Montréal.

Only two kilometers wide and three long, Entry Island is home to a population of just more than 100 inhabitants, the wealthiest of whom has just been discovered murdered in his home. Covered in her husband's blood, the dead man's melancholy wife spins a tale for the police about a masked intruder armed with a knife.

The investigation appears to be little more than a formality--the evidence points to a crime of passion, implicating the wife. But Sime is electrified by the widow during his interview, convinced that he has met her before, even though this is clearly impossible.

Haunted by this strange certainty, Sime's insomnia is punctuated by vivid, hallucinatory dreams of a distant past on a Scottish island 3,000 miles away, dreams in which he and the widow play leading roles. Sime's conviction soon becomes an obsession. And despite mounting evidence of the woman's guilt, he finds himself convinced of her innocence, leading to a conflict between the professional duty he must fulfill and the personal destiny he is increasingly sure awaits him.

JEŚLI UCIEKASZ PRZED LOSEM... LOS CIĘ ODNAJDZIE Kiedy detektyw Sime Mackenzie wsiada do niewielkiego samolotu na lotnisku św. Huberta w Montrealu, nawet nie ogląda się za siebie. Licząca 850 mil podróż jest dla niego okazją, by uciec przed samotnością i żalem, które od dłuższego czasu naznaczają jego życie. Sime wchodzi w skład ośmioosobowej grupy śledczej, a celem wyprawy jest wyspa Entry w Zatoce Świętego Wawrzyńca – szeroka na dwa kilometry, długa na trzy i licząca niespełna 130 mieszkańców, z których najbogatszy został właśnie zamordowany w swoim domu. Śledztwo wydaje się formalnością: dowody wskazują na zabójstwo w afekcie, a…
