November 1, 1986. Early morning. The body of Charlene Collins is discovered at the foot of a cliff on Entry Island, in the Iles-de-la-Madeleine. Is it a Halloween prank that turned sour? Or the act of a disappointed lover seeking revenge? The local police sergeant is perplexed. Why has the Anglican minister run away to Halifax?
