“Gordon Henderson’s tension-filled tale is woven around the stunning assassination of Thomas D’Arcy McGee, a Father of Confederation, whose forceful idealism laid the foundations for our celebrated diversity of today. Brimming with political intrigue and insights and sprinkled with colourful characters, romance and humour, the Canada of an earlier time jumps off the pages. Riveting and entertaining.”
