Newfoundland Fiction

Rossiter File St. John's, Newfoundland, 1947. Late on a Monday night in August, a constable finds the battered body of an impoverished old man lying on the concrete steps of a laneway. It appears he was the victim of an accidental collision with two youths running from an act of vandalism. But Inspector Eric Stride of the Newfoundland Constabulary is not convinced. And who is Samuel Rossiter? To find the answers, Stride follows a trail of evidence and circumstance that goes back more than three decades. And at the end of that trail, Stride finds himself caught up in a complex story of privilege and tragedy. Reviews: The Rossiter File is a treat for lovers of history and mystery. Once again Thomas Rendell Curran proves that foggy, preconfederate St. John's can be as intriguing as St Mary Mead and as full of villainy as many longtime residents suspect. - Bernice Morgan, author of Random Passage and Waiting for Time thomas Rendell Curran's new novel is a complex tale of murder and retribution. He pulls us into a post-war Newfoundland so real, so nuanced and so fascinating that we never want to leave. Read this book for the history. Read this book for the characters. Or read this book for the sheer elegance of the writing and the tale. But definitely read this book. - Alex Brett, author of the Morgan O'Brien Mysteries Quantity :  CAD $ 19.95  Click here to ask a question about this item
