The First John Cardinal Crime Mystery of Frozen Ontario Landscapes and Serial Killers

In the freezing winter town of Algonquin Bay, Ontario, the body of a missing thirteen-year-old girl is discovered encased in ice inside an abandoned mine shaft. Detective John Cardinal, recently demoted following internal police department conflicts, is reinstated to lead the homicide investigation alongside wary new partner Lise Delorme.

As Cardinal and Delorme examine forensic evidence, they realize the victim is not an isolated casualty, but part of a calculated spree carried out by a sadistic killer duo targeting local teenagers. Racing against sub-zero temperatures and departmental politics, Cardinal must catch the predators before they strike again.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Giles Blunt delivers chilling atmospheric winter noir, meticulous police procedural realism, and complex character dynamics. The award-winning debut mystery that inspired the hit TV series Cardinal.
