Les livres de Farrow, John

On the night of the Rocket Richard Riot in 1955, the legendary Cartier Dagger is stolen from Montreal’s Sun Life Building. Many believe the dagger gives whoever possesses it mystical powers, and its journey through history is as spectacular as it is bloodstained. The same night, a police informer is found murdered in a nearby park with a dagger wound to his heart. But who murdered him, and why? Thirteen years later, the case is still unsolved, and a young constable named Émile Cinq-Mars is asked to investigate.

On the day after a massive blizzard, two policemen are called to an isolated farm house sitting all by itself in the middle of a pristine snow-blanketed field. Inside the lonely abode are two dead people. But there are no tracks in the snow leading either to the house or away. What happened here? Is this a murder/suicide case? Or something much more sinister?

During an epic storm a woman races in a small boat through a torrential sea storm to Grand Manan island, located off the coast of Maine. She is determined to reach her dying father's bedside. Meanwhile, detective Cinq-Mars is enjoying a vacation with his wife on the island until he's caught up in the investigation of a murder. Long-held secrets start to emerge, and Cinq-Mars begins to wonder if the two deaths are related.

Top cop Emile Cinq-Mars works on his own, his network of informants always enabling him to make the big arrests. But then biker gangs backed by the Russian Mafia start to take over Montreal, and Cinq-Mars realizes that his snitches are linked to the CIA - and turning up dead. Doubting everything he once believed about himself and his career, the detective tries to solve both problems by beginning a war on two fronts, all the while trying to save a mysterious young female American operative from the clutches of the mob.

Detective Cinq-Mars is lured to a familiar ice fishing spot where a body is found with a bullet through its neck. The investigation into the victim's ties to a pharmaceutical company soon spins out of control into a complex universe: a beautiful native activist trying to save the world; the ruthless members of organized crime sects; and the macho cops of competing police factions. It is up to Cinq-Mars to figure out the conspiracies and the deadly enemies before it is too late.
