Giles Blunt grew up in North Bay, Ontario, a town remarkably like the fictional Algonquin Bay of his John Cardinal novels. The Cardinal books have garnered the British Crime Writers’ Silver Dagger, as well as Canada’s Arthur Ellis award (twice). They have been translated into more than a dozen languages, and the TV series, Cardinal, has been airing around the world since 2017. He has also written four highly regarded standalone novels, including Breaking Lorca, which the Globe and Mail called “a tour de force—an unforgettable window into the human capacity for cruelty and courage.”
