Detectives Cardinal and Delorme in peaceful Algonquin Bay, Canada, have to figure out who the half-eaten body parts belong to that were found in the woods. Luckily, the bears left enough to enable them to determine that the older man was killed first, then fed to the bears. A short time later the naked body of a young woman is found. The crimes must be related, but the two victims have nothing in common.

This is a mystery with nicely drawn characters, and an interesting story. In order to solve the murders, the detectives must delve into Canada's history, and reveal what truly happened in the 1970s, when there was a strong effort by terrorists to establish a separate, French-speaking Quebec. The ending is ultimately somewhat disappointing, though.
