The Murder in Sparks Street

by Marcel Viau

AN historical-fiction novel about the murders of THOMAS D'ARCY MCGEE and ANDREW LEAMY. I highly recommend this murder-mystery novel about local events by a local author - and having my grandparents come to life was especially thrilling. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

SYNOPSIS:

Two weeks after the assassination of MP Thomas D'Arcy McGee on Sparks Street in Ottawa, the body of Andrew Leamy, a wealthy lumber entrepreneur, is discovered under suspicious circumstances. Dispatched from Montreal to investigate, the brilliant Detective Silas Robinson and his astute assistant Miss Dupuis undertake a discreet inquiry. As they navigate the corridors of the burgeoning lumber industry and probe the political ramifications of McGee's murder, hidden secrets emerge that threaten to engulf Canada's still fragile capital. Amid rivalries and betrayals, the contenders vying for power conceal a truth far vaster and more dangerous than Robinson could have imagined.
