The suspect

In 1986 The Suspect became the first Canadian novel to win an Edgar award. It went on to become a great cult favorite among mystery fans, who prized its delicately etched sense of melancholy and intriguing character studies of the cop, the murderer, and the enigmatic librarian who proves an unlikely bridge between the two. Set in a small town on Canada's "Sunshine Coast," this is the first novel in the "Karl Alberg" series.

  • "Ce roman criminel canadien, qui a pour cadre Vancouver, vaut surtout par le climat créé par un homicide dont nous connaissons le coupable dès le début alors que la police l'ignore."
  • "To Karl Alberg, a small town on Canada's "Sunshine Coast" looks like the perfect place to sooth a psyche that's been battered by too much big-city police work. Bees buzz among the roses, and the local librarian is attractive, intriguing, and unattached. Perhaps he has at last come in from the cold. But sunny towns can conceal a lot of secrets--some of them bleak enough to make a man yearn for some nice straightforward urban crime--P. [4] of cover."
