About the Author:
Review:
Michael Januska was born in Windsor, Ontario. He has worked with books his whole life, both as a bookseller and for several book publishing companies. Stories from Januska's Prohibition-era Border City Blues series of novels and short stories have won two consecutive Scene of the Crime short story prizes. The previous Border City Blues book is Riverside Drive. He lives in Toronto.
The book amply demonstrates that Riverside Drive was no fluke. Fans of the HBO series Boardwalk Empire need to check this one out right away. (Booklist (Chicago, IL))

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. It's the winter of '23 and the border towns are under a deep freeze, with ferries ice-bound in the Detroit River, snow burying the streets, and power interruptions. Prohibition is still the backdrop to daily life, but opium smuggling and human trafficking are a pair of disturbing additions to the mix. When one of Detective Campbell's late-night walks is abruptly interrupted by a loud crash and a grisly thump, he kicks into high gear, summoning his old friend Dr. Laforet to work on the case. Shortly afterwards, a grim find surfaces in the Detroit River, and both cops and rumrunners race to connect the dots. With a whisper of the occult in the chill Windsor air, Campbell and Laforet are caught up in another mystery. Takes readers to the frigid winter of '23, when bootleggers and civilians alike struggle with icy weather and the law. As if the Windsor PD didn't have their hands full, drug-smuggling, and human trafficking take them into unfamiliar territory . and the occult brings a wholly unexpected twist.
