-------------------------------------------------------- With nothing to his name but a mysterious land deed, a birth certificate and bits and pieces of his past, Albertan cowboy Cass Hutt travels to Scotch River, Nova Scotia, the place of his birth. Seeking answers to the troubling questions posed by his own patchy history he attracts the attention of an unforgettable array of eccentrics, madmen and petty thieves with fractured pasts and problems of their own they’d prefer to hide. As compulsively readable as a mystery, Scotch River is a powerful, heartbreaking novel of family and the small terrible things we do in its name.
