The Delicate Storm
(2003)
It's a stylish, atmospheric, psychological thriller following on from the Silver Dagger Award winner, 'Forty Words for Sorrow.'
A gruesome discovery in the wilderness above Algonquin Bay leads detectives John Cardinal and Lisa Delorme to a remote cabin that has served as an abattoir for a cold-blooded killer…
But the woods hide other horrors and soon a second body is discovered, naked and shrouded in ice. When one of the victims is identified as an American, the RCMP has to be called in, but it's the involvement of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service that arouses Cardinal's most mistrust. Is their interference due to a suspected terrorist link, or is there something even more sinister behind it?
With Northern Ontario in the grip of an ice storm of once-in-a-hundred years severity, the woods take on a glittering, lethal beauty. In this winter wonderland John Cardinal must hunt down and confront a killer.
