John Cardinal series 06 : Until the night

Algonquin Bay. John Cardinal investigates what seems like a run of the mill murder in a hotel parking lot: the corpse has a big bootprint on his neck, and the likely suspect is his lover's outraged husband. But the lover has gone missing, and then colleague Lise Delorme locates another missing woman, a senator's wife from Ottawa, frozen in the ruins of an abandoned hotel in the woods. This leads to a decades-old injustice committed in the high Arctic and the swingers' world inhabited by an ex-rock star who owns a pub in Algonquin Bay as well as private members' clubs in Toronto and Ottawa, while affecting the deep bond between Delorme and Cardinal.
