Flight of Aquavit

At the dead end of a desolate country road, a late-night rendezvous turns into an ambush. Russell Quant, everyone's favourite wine-swilling, wise-cracking, world-travelling, gay, Canadian prairie private eye is faced with personal threats he can't ignore, a friend who may be a foe and a cagey client with a treacherous monkey on his back. Lured to New York City, Quant tests his wit, wisdom and wiles from the Old-World grandeur of Fifth Avenue to the kaleidoscope world of Broadway's electric nightspots. The fast pace continues in Saskatoon where Quant deftly maneuvers through the twists and turns of the perilous case and a personal life rife with its own mystique and mayhem.Anthony Bidulka's novels have won and been shortlisted for numerous awards.
