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.
