and hilarious novel from award-winning writer Drew Hayden Taylor that blends thriller, murder mystery, and horror with humour and spectacle.Elmore Trent is a professor of Indigenous studies who finds himself entangled in an affair that's ruining his marriage; Paul North plays in the IHL (Indigenous Hockey League), struggling to keep up with the game that's passing him by; Detective Ruby Birch is chasing a string of gruesome murders, with clues that conspicuously lead her to both Elmore and Paul. And then there's Fabiola Halan, former journalist-turned-author and famed survivor of a plane crash that sparked a nationwide tour promoting her book. What starts off as a series of subtle connections between isolated characters quickly takes a menacing turn, as it becomes increasingly clear that someone—or something—is hunting them all.Taking tropes from the murder mystery, police procedural, thriller, and horror genres, Drew Hayden Taylor weaves a pulse-pounding and propulsive narrative with an intricate cast of characters, while never losing the ability to make you laugh.The Broken Afternoon (DI Wilkins Mysteries #2)

La detective Erika Foster recibe el aviso de que la clave para resolver un importante caso de narcóticos está escondida en una cantera abandonada en las afueras de Londres, por lo que ordena que sea registrada. Allí, entre el lodo espeso, encuentran un alijo de droga, pero también lo que parece ser el esqueleto de un niño pequeño. Los restos se identifican como los de Jessica Collins, de siete años, la chica desaparecida que copó los titulares hace veintiséis años. Mientras Erika trata de juntar las nuevas pruebas con las antiguas, también indaga más sobre el pasado de la familia Collins y se pone en contacto con la principal detective del caso en aquella época, Amanda Baker, una mujer atormentada por el fracaso de no haber encontrado a Jessica Collins en su momento. Pero alguien guarda terribles secretos. Alguien que no quiere que este caso sea resuelto y que hará todo lo que esté en sus manos para evitar que Erika descubra la verdad.
