À propos de cet audio

Cape Diamond, the second book in the Frank Yakabuski Mystery series, is atmospheric and action-packed. Set near the Northern Divide - as was the first installment, Edgar Award nominee (Best Paperback Original), Ragged Lake - the book opens with Yakabuski called to investigate a gruesome crime scene.

A body has been left hanging from a schoolyard fence. On closer inspection, Yak finds a large diamond in the murder victim’s mouth. Two criminal gangs - the Shiners and the Travellers - are fighting with each other, and Yakabuski turns to his father, a now-retired detective who has a long history with the gangs, for advice in the interrogation. Is the conflict over the murder of two men? The kidnapping of a little girl? Or, possibly, the diamond found in Augustus Morrissey’s mouth? As if this weren’t enough for one detective, a serial killer is taking a deadly road trip through the United States, heading toward the Northern Divide.

Ron Corbett weaves the various strands together with ingenuity, making Cape Diamond a brooding, suspense-filled story of hubris, betrayal, and evil deeds; his writing is sparse and taut, compelling the listener to follow the action and gang conflict to a surprise ending.

This second part of trilogy set in remote Northern Ontario is not as exciting as Ragged Lake. But still a worthwhile listen. I especially enjoyed learning more about the native people of the North, esp. the Voyageurs called Travellers here. Mr. Corbett writes like a poet who loves the North, its climate and inhabitants. Looking forward to hearing part 3, Mission Road.

Graham Rowat is back to expertly lend his voice to the second instalment in the Det. Frank Yakabuski trilogy: it’s been many months since the wild shootout in Ragged Lake and a surprise winter heatwave isn’t the only thing putting Springfield on high alert. A retired mob boss is found ritually murdered and it’s about to set off a colossal gang war that’s been waiting decades to be retriggered.

We’ve also got a serial killer making a cross-continent trek leaving bodies in his wake, a missing girl, and a tale of revenge that will kick you right in the guts when all is revealed. This mystery is full of twists and turns and the climax is great; meanwhile the denouement is chilling and the prologue is outstanding. You’ll definitely want to read the third instalment after this banger!!

Amazing !!
