Just what the summer ordered: Miss Montreal, a fourth Jonah Geller adventure set in that colourful city, where the word can mean beautiful, dangerous and scandalous … or all three. Just the place for the private investigator, his partner, former hit man Dante Ryan, and a cast of drug and gun runners, distorted politicians and a cultural richness that leaves you in awe of how such beauty and corruption can live side by side.
Geller and Ryan are in Montreal to investigate the murder of an old friend. The police have hit a dead end right at election time and the scene turns frantic with tension, threats and deathly religious fanatics. Explosive episodes escalate the pace to the sort of conclusion fans of author Howard Shrier expect.
Miss Montreal is a stellar reason why Shrier is an award-winning author. Story, action and humour combine seamlessly into a great summer read. — Don Graves, Hamilton Spectator
