***THE HOWARD ENGEL AWARD FOR BEST CRIME NOVEL SET IN CANADA 2022 - SHORTLIST***
The fifth book in the Sebastian Synard mystery series takes our intrepid tour guide/private detective on a jaunt across Newfoundland and into Labrador, in pursuit of those towers of intrigue-lighthouses!
The final stop on Synard's lighthouse tour is the one at L'Anse Amour, Labrador, the highest in all Atlantic Canada. It's a long climb into the lantern room, and a long fall from its catwalk to the ground below. Dead is photographer Amanda Thomson. Who is the scoundrel that nudged her past the railing? The RCMP in Forteau are pointing to one of the tour groups, but Sebastian and his partner Mae have other ideas. They retrace the excursions of Amanda and her vagabond boyfriend back to a section of northern Newfoundland called the French Shore. Could the recent bizarre vandalism at its historic sites hold a clue? What is it about the French Shore that leads them back to murder at L'Anse Amour?
