A compelling story that spirals back to Vancouver in the early 60s, when conservative young Arthur encounters not only the beginnings of alternative culture (coffee houses, a scratchy-voiced young busker named Dylan) but the deep and fiercely intelligent rage of a young First Nations man named Gabriel Swift, who will haunt Arthur's life. Finally, Arthur might be able to face the truth of this long-past case, and right an old wrong.

Product description

Review

"A classic . . . . Deverell, one of the finest of Canada's writers, builds his best book ever. . . . There is a great courtroom drama here, something that Deverell excels at, and an even better denouement with a twist nobody will guess. . . . . Superb." -- Margaret Cannon, Globe and Mail

"As with many of the great protagonists readers are drawn to in the mystery genre, it is Beauchamp's flaws, and he has many, that make him so interesting." -- Victoria TimesColonist

"Deverell's undertone of fury thrums most audibly [concerning] the multi-generational tragedies of Canada's residential schools [but] there's still laughter, though, in Arthur's personal mishaps -- his blunderings in his encounters with women, his rueful observations of himself as an often hapless old man, [plus] delicious nuggets of political gossip." -- Joan Barfoot, Toronto Sun

As an audiobook reader, I try and match every voice to every author character.
This is the first audiobook of 7 that I have done 'ALL' the voices - including kids and girls/women. I felt I have to compete with Simon Vance and Scott Brick. Mr. Deverell writes a character-rich colorful tale of life that has so many real references that it's hard to call it fiction. This is a good novel! I hope my rendition will help us compete with Mr. Grisham, and other literary giants!

Deverell at his best, or may be better

William Deverell is a wonderful writer and great story teller.
This is a marvelous book and my only concern is the aging Arthur Beauchamp who may not survive too many more.

The portrayal of the Vancouver legal world brought memories of the old courthouse and those who toiled in the vineyards of the judicial system to life. Mr. Deverell has crafted a fascinating blend of intrigue, humor, perplexing current social issues which raise his central character to his finest performance. Ever. A great read which is thought provoking without preaching. I congratulate the author enough to put my name to this review and recommend the novel.
