Getting inside is easy; the stress comes in getting out clean. A
case of breaking and entering escalates after Emile Cinq-Mars
transfers from the Night Patrol. Montreal, 1975. Detective Emile
Cinq-Mars is transferring from the Night Patrol - the notoriously
tough department of officers in charge of watching over the city as
it sleeps - to the day shift. His old superior has seen to it that
he's assigned to partner Yves Giroux, another ex-Night Patrol
detective some say isn't on the 'up and up'. Getting in a house is
easy for thief Quinn Tanner. The stress comes in getting out clean.
On finding her getaway driver dead after her latest heist, she goes
underground. For his first case on the day shift, Emile is sent to
the property that Quinn has just visited, and their paths are set
to cross. But has she stolen something more valuable than she
realizes . . . and who is hunting for her now?

Review Sergeant-Detective Emile Cinq-Mars fails with a task set to
him by his former captain and the consequences look set to spark a
gangland war in Montreal. Montreal, 1978. Newly promoted
Sergeant-Detective Emile Cinq-Mars attends the scene of seventeen
break-ins at an apartment complex. Nothing more than stolen

in the Mafia, Cinq-Mars is ordered to intervene with a prisoner's
release: the man must stay behind bars. He fails with the task and
the immediate consequences are devastating. While trying to remedy
his failure, solve the mystery of the break-ins and the case of the
dead body, a chilling aspect emerges . . . gangland Montreal is
bracing for war.

The great adventure of Damien the Leper began quietly over a century ago. Since then, his remarkable story has become legend throughout the world.
Joseph De Veuster left his secure life in Belgium, thrusting aside all thoughts of personal danger and spending the rest of his days as Father Damien comforting the sick and the dying.

which leads to a harrowing ordeal when he’ s struck by an
assassin’ s bullet. Will death be sufficiently patient with him

on one side of a state line die quickly and mysteriously while on
the other their deaths are slow and agonizing?What is the scheme?
Who is behind it all? Will his assassin strike again?As he
investigates, and considers a move with his wife to her family
home, É mile Cinq-Mars encounters the secrets of a New Hampshire
community wracked by tragedy, and meets the valiant women who will
struggle to save him, as he has struggled to save them.
