Sure, we all like our heros flawed, but Leo Desroches is pushing things. A half-Cree/half-French-Canadian gambling addict who lost his family, job, and self-respect to the addiction, Deroches is making slow progress toward reestablishing himself as a journalist and father. He holds the gambling addiction at bay with drugs and ... bank robberies. Yes, that's right. I thought maybe they had changed the point of view when Desroches politely robbed his first bank. Really, Mr. Arthurson? The mystery revolves around a string of deaths of Native prostitutes in Edmonton, Alberta, that the police are unwilling to view as the work of a serial killer despite the similarities. It appears to be quite chilly in Edmonton in the winter.
