John McFetridge

Three complete novels in the gripping police procedural series set in 1970s Montreal.
 
 This volume includes three novels in the acclaimed series starring Eddie Dougherty:
 
Black Rock
 In 1970 Montreal, the “Vampire Killer” has murdered three women and a fourth is missing. Bombs explode in the stock exchange, riots break out, and the Canadian army moves onto the streets. In the midst of this explosive era, a young beat cop, son of a French mother and an Irish-Canadian father, finds himself virtually alone hunting a serial killer as the rest of the force focuses on a crisis . . .
 
A Little More Free
 Labor Day weekend, 1972: As Montreal prepares to host a historic hockey game between Canada and the USSR, Constable Eddie Dougherty witnesses the deaths of thirty-seven people in a deliberately set nightclub fire—and discovers the body of a murdered young man on Mount Royal—in a case that draws him into the world of American draft dodgers and deserters, class politics, and organized crime.
 
One or the Other
 In the weeks before the 1976 Summer Olympics, the Montreal police are bolstering security to prevent another catastrophe like the ’72 games in Munich. But it isn’t tight enough to stop nearly three million dollars being stolen in a bold daytime Brink’s truck robbery—and Eddie Dougherty is about to find his chance to prove himself as a detective . . .

The Eddie Dougherty Mysteries

The Eddie Dougherty Collection: Black Rock, A Little More Free, and One or the Other

“Like [Elmore] Leonard, McFetridge is able to convincingly portray flawed figures on both sides of the law” (Publishers Weekly).
 
 Montreal, Labor Day weekend, 1972. The city is getting ready to host the first game in the legendary Summit Series between Canada and the USSR. Three men set fire to a nightclub and thirty-seven people die. The Museum of Fine Arts is robbed and two million dollars’ worth of paintings are stolen.
 
 Against the backdrop of these historic events, Constable Eddie Dougherty discovers the body of a murdered young man on Mount Royal. As he tries to prove he has the stuff to become a detective, he is drawn into the world of American draft dodgers and deserters, class politics, and organized crime . . .
 
 “This terrific continuation of the narrative McFetridge began in Black Rock opens with a bang . . . Working with a deceptively simple style that echoes Joseph Wambaugh, McFetridge has delivered an unpredictable mystery, a fine character study, and a vivid snapshot of 1972 Montreal.” —Publishers Weekly
 
 “Brilliant . . . As a police procedural, A Little More Free is superb. As a sociopolitical human drama, it’s even better—remember to breathe during those final few pages.” —Winnipeg Free Press

A Little More Free

This police procedural set in 1970s Montreal is “an enjoyable read . . . that immerses readers in a tumultuous period in Canadian history” (Publishers Weekly).
 
 In the weeks before Montreal is to host the 1976 Summer Olympics, the police are bolstering security to prevent another catastrophe like the ’72 games in Munich. But it isn’t tight enough to stop nearly three million dollars being stolen in a bold daytime Brink’s truck robbery.
 
 As the high-profile heist continues to baffle the police, Constable Eddie Dougherty gets a chance to prove his worth as a detective on another case. He’s assigned to assist in a Quebec suburb investigating the deaths of two teenagers returning from a rock concert across the Jacques Cartier Bridge. Were they mugged and thrown over the side? Or was it a murder-suicide? With tensions running high in the city and his career at stake, Dougherty is about to confront one of the most challenging cases of his life.
