Omand's Creek [Don Macdonald]

"Omand’s Creek is the best Canadian crime debut in recent memory." - The Montreal Gazette

A young woman has been brutally murdered, her body left on the banks of Omand’s Creek. Similarities with a murder a month earlier lead Detective Michael Shelter to believe he’s dealing with a killer preying on sex workers in the city’s large Indigenous community.
He soon realizes he’s facing a far more cunning adversary than he’d imagined. As he races to find the killer, Shelter uncovers a trail of corruption, racist violence and long-held secrets that reach into the city's elite.
Along the way, he struggles to raise his defiant teenage daughter as a single father and come to terms with the reality of racism in the city and his own blind spots.
