In a genre full of veteran police detectives and unbeatable private investigators, comes two novels that put down-on-their-luck characters on a quest for truth, resulting in unexpected partnerships, hi-jinks and lots of fun. In Sam Shelstad’s debut novel, Citizens of Light, Colleen Weagle is dealing with the aftermath of her husband’s mysterious death. Her monotonous life takes a turn when she partners with an ornery co-worker to find answers among the slot machines and ramshackle tourist attractions of Niagara Falls. Jonathan Whitelaw’s The Bingo Hall Detectives features an out-of-work journalist, his mother-in-law and the eccentric members of the Penrith Bingo Club on a search for a killer. Join the authors as they sit down with Canadian author Melodie Campbell to discuss their irresistible and hilarious books.
