The Killing Cold (LIN)

Winner of the Scribner Crime Novel Award, 1983. 'Mr. Wood plots well, thinks well, writes well, and knows the Canadian police and background from being part of it...' - Kenneth Hopkins, EASTERN DAILY PRESS. The second major case for Reid Bennett, the one-man police force of Murphy's Harbour, Ontario, began when the Queen of the Ice Festival was abducted from the stage right under his nose. However, a snowstorm made the roads impassable, and the kidnappers - members of the feminist Canadian League of Angry Women (CLAW) - were trapped in town. Bennett again steps outside the bounds of the law in order to discover the true purpose of the plot - and to save his own life.
