A brutal murder in a small Maritime fishing community raises urgent questions of right and wrong, and even the nature of good and evil, in this masterfully told true story.

In June 2013, three upstanding citizens of a small Cape Breton town cold-bloodedly murdered their neighbour, Phillip Boudreau, at sea. While out checking their lobster traps, two Landry cousins and skipper Dwayne Samson saw Boudreau in his boat, the Midnight Slider, about to vandalize their lobster traps. Like so many times before, Boudreau was about to cost them thousands of dollars out of their seasonal livelihood. One man took out a rifle and fired four shots at Boudreau and his boat. To finish the job, they rammed their own larger boat over the top of his speedboat. Boudreau's body was never found. Then they completed the day's fishing and went home to Petit de Grat on Isle Madame.

Boudreau was a Cape Breton original--an inventive small-time criminal who had terrorized and entertained Petit de Grat for two decades. He had been in prison for nearly half his adult life. He was funny and frightening, loathed, loved, and feared. One neighbour says he would "steal the beads off Christ's moccasins"--then give the booty away to someone in need. He would taunt his victims, and threaten them with arson if they reported him. He was accused of one attempted rape. Meanwhile the police and the Fisheries officers were frustrated, cowed, and hobbled by shrinking budgets. Boudreau seemed invincible, a miscreant who would plague the village forever.

Cameron, a resident of the area since 1971, argues that the Boudreau killing was a direct reaction to credible and dire threats that the authorities were powerless to neutralize. As many local people have said, if those fellows hadn't killed him, someone else would have. Like Say Nothing, The Perfect Storm, The Golden Spruce, and Into Thin Air, this book offers a dramatic narrative set in a unique, lovingly drawn setting, where a story about one small community has universal resonance. This is a story not about lobster, but about the grand themes of power and law, security and self-respect. It raises a disturbing question: Are there times when taking the law into your own hands is not only understandable but the responsible thing to do?

This book was not entertaining to listen to, but interesting none the less. Good performance.

interesting but dry

Enjoyed the story as a new blue noser. Author told the story in detail while adding some history of Cape Breton. Narrator did a really great job of different voices.

Little murder, little history

Very informative, I enjoyed this book a lot, you will get a glimpse of the history of the community and the main subject of the book.

Must read!

I live at the other end of the province, so maybe I am a bit biased to say that this has been the best audiobook I have listened to so far.
First, a lot in an audiobook rides on the narrator, and they could not have chosen a better match for this book. It sounds like you are in the home of one of the locals, and he is telling you this story over an evening of drinks around the kitchen table. It truly brings you that up close and personal feel. I honestly can't say enough about his performance.
The story itself is written just as well. It is really well documented, since the author was a local himself and attended the trials in person. It is quite a tale and I think anyone (especially those in a small town) could relate in one way or another to the situation that was presented in this village.
A wonderful listen, and my favourite so far.

The Best

I have to say I was was sceptical to read one person’s perspective on this incredibly complex story. But I am thoroughly impressed on how SDC told these stories. Stories of who we are as people, why people are the way they are what likely went down on that day. This was not about lobster. It was about so much more and SDC does an incredible job of telling the story and the contributing factors and stories that make this situation so complex.

Excellent Perspective
