During the Great Depression in Canada, mysterious happenings and unexplained appearances have the Lake Superior city of Port Arthur on edge. The police are baffled. With snappy dialogue this vintage spy thriller takes place in the gritty wild days of the pre-Second World War Canadian Lakehead and features a Humphrey-Bogard-like hero, the roguish but congenial Laurence Speke. Northeners have been waiting for someone to write a ''Superior'' mystery adventure and author Peter Fergus-Moore has delivered an edgy thriller with plenty of unexpected twists and turns.
