Description
Winner of the Margaret Laurence Award for Fiction (Manitoba Writing and Publishing Awards).
LaFlamme is an abusive and explosive man who hurts everyone around him. When he meets a violent end, everyone is suspect: his wife and children, whom he tormented, the farm hands he mistreated, and the Native
trappers he cheated. Death sends the LaFlamme family away from Moon Lake and a new death brings them back, re-opening old wounds and the mystery surrounding old man LaFlamme's unlamented death.
