About this title: Down in the main, Montreal's teeming underworld, the dark streets echo with cries in a dozen languages, with the swift footsteps of thieves, with the murmurs of women of pleasure. To the people of the Main, Lieutenant Claude LaPointe is judge and jury, father confessor and avenging angel. And when cold-blooded murder invades LaPointe's territory, it means the beginning of another gripping tale of death and danger, of action and mystery, by the incomparable Trevanian.

"This Trevanian novel dealt with characters as much as with story line. The relationship between the older, more experienced, police officer and his young trainee is at the center of this murder mystery. The Main is an area in Montreal that is populated by derelicts, prostitutes, small businesspeople trying to eke out a living, and police officers trying to keep it all together. Trevanian puts the reader at the center of this place of hard-knocks. The actual murder is not solved till the last few pages and the author does not hint at all as to who the murderer is. It is a complete surprise and, for that reason, the suspense of this novel is relentlessly threaded throughout the entire story. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of Trevanian."
"This was a really good murder mystery. Lots of character development and interesting motivations. Based in Montreal. I'd like to read other books by this author."
