In the frozen heart of the 1883 Canadian frontier, a single death unveils a darkness that could consume a town-and the men sworn to protect it. Corporal Belvedere, a Mountie scarred by a brutal past, and Surgeon Virgil Montgomery, a newcomer haunted by his own doubts, are drawn into a murder investigation in the isolated settlement of Prince Albert. As winter's grip tightens, the killing exposes a web of secrets buried beneath the snow, threatening to unravel the fragile order of the North-West Territories. In a community steeped in mistrust, Belvedere's unyielding quest for justice collides with Montgomery's struggle to uphold his oath to do no harm. Each clue they uncover draws them deeper into a maze of deception, where allies and enemies blur and every step risks a deadly reckoning. As the ice on the Saskatchewan River begins to crack, they must confront a truth that could cost them their lives-or their souls. A gripping tale of vengeance and redemption, The Laundryman plunges you into a world where justice battles betrayal, and the truth lies buried in a frozen wilderness.
"A fast-paced, always arresting historical mystery, Dwayne Brenna's The Laundryman pits two Mounties as mismatched as Holmes and Watson against an array of murder suspects in pre-provincial Prince Albert during a numbingly cold winter, with a bit of love, a hint of sex, a lot of suspense-and even a dog." - Dave Margoshes, author of A Simple Carpenter
