Description
A small plane was blown up in an act of sabotage over Northern Quebec, Canada. The incident was quickly analyzed and termed a mechanical failure. The case was closed in a rush. A young actor from Montreal dies in Afghanistan, killed by a missile from a drone. His death opens up wounds and discussions that are not in the public domain.
These two seemingly disparate events form the backbone of a compelling contemporary “ideas thriller,” set in Montreal's Main district and in the blue-green mountains of Kandahar. Past values, local history, neighborhood myths, and intense psychosexual vectors are suddenly on a collision course with the current international context of wars, migration, exile, and terror. In the backdrop is the cold case of the airplane sabotage that occurred over a decade ago.
Was the plane crash hushed-up? Why? Three friends from Montreal’s Plateau and Mile End districts manage to de-freeze the cold case, burn up the fog, and hell breaks loose, not only in their personal lives, but in their own affiliations.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Written with flowing lyricism, the novel reveals the deft hand of a seasoned writer in piecing together a seamless narrative…. Bose’s characters are live, real and at times as confused as in a Shakespearean drama…. Fog is his crowning achievement.” — Ian Thomas Scott, The Ottawa Review of Books
“Revigorates the Neo-noir genre for the 21st century. (…) a fresh and thrilling addition.” — Staceu Madden, Quill & Quire
“Fog is a literary thriller that will keep the reader engrossed from the first page to the last. Characters are engagingly & sensitively drawn.” — Richard King, Book Columnist CBC Homerun
