Thank you kindly. \nAbout the book: \nCold (Penguin Random House Canada\, 2024) \nA tragic plane crash that leaves two women stranded and fighting for their lives kicks off this sweeping and hilarious novel from award-winning writer Drew Hayden Taylor that blends thriller\, murder mystery\, and horror with humour and spectacle. \nElmore Trent is a professor of Indigenous studies who finds himself entangled in an affair that’s ruining his marriage; Paul North plays in the IHL (Indigenous Hockey League)\, struggling to keep up with the game that’s passing him by; Detective Ruby Birch is chasing a string of gruesome murders\, with clues that conspicuously lead her to both Elmore and Paul. And then there’s Fabiola Halan\, former journalist-turned-author and famed survivor of a plane crash that sparked a nationwide tour promoting her book. \nWhat starts off as a series of subtle connections between isolated characters quickly takes a menacing turn\, as it becomes increasingly clear that someone—or something—is hunting them all. \nTaking tropes from the murder mystery\, police procedural\, thriller\, and horror genres\, Drew Hayden Taylor weaves a pulse-pounding and propulsive narrative with an intricate cast of characters\, while never losing the ability to make you laugh. \nAbout the author: \nDREW HAYDEN TAYLOR has done many things\, most of which he is proud of. An Ojibway from the Curve Lake First Nations in Ontario\, he has worn many hats in his career\, from performing stand-up comedy at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.\, to being Artistic Director of Canada’s premiere Native theatre company\, Native Earth Performing Arts. He has been an award-winning playwright (with over 100 productions of his work)\, a journalist/columnist (appearing regularly in several Canadian newspapers\, magazines\, and news networks)\, short story writer\, novelist\, television scriptwriter\, and has worked on over 20 documentaries exploring the Native experience including the popular Searching for Winnetou. His documentary series on APTN\, Going Native\, is in its third year. The author of 34 books\, he looks forward to finding out where his imagination will take him next. \nAbout the host: \nSam Wiebe is the author of the Wakeland novels\, one of the most authentic and acclaimed detective series in Canada. His latest\, Sunset and Jericho (2023)\, was a BC bestseller for over ten weeks\, and Hell and Gone (2021) won a silver medal from the Independent Publisher Book Awards.
