Электронная книга: Giles Blunt «The Delicate Storm»

Giles Blunt

Giles Blunt (born 1952 in Windsor, Ontario) is a Canadian novelist and screenwriter. His four last novels tell the story of detective John Cardinal, living in the small town of Algonquin Bay, in Northern Ontario. Blunt grew up in North Bay, and Algonquin Bay is North Bay very thinly disguised — for example, Blunt retains the names of major streets and the two lakes (Trout Lake and Lake Nipissing) that the town sits between, the physical layout of the two places is the same, and he describes Algonquin Bay as being in the same geographical location as North Bay.

His first novel, "Cold Eye", was made into the French movie "Les Couleurs du diable" (Allain Jessua, 1997). The first John Cardinal novel, "Forty Words for Sorrow", won the British Crime Writers' Silver Dagger, and the second, "The Delicate Storm", won the Crime Writers of Canada's Arthur Ellis Award for best novel. His writing has been compared to the work of novelist Ian Rankin. [ [http://www.sevenoaksmag.com/commentary/gilesblunt.html] ]
