Stanley Evans

Coast Salish street cop Silas Seaweed is back in another West Coast noir mystery. Giant Thunderbirds are threatening the skies above British Columbia. A man is found dead in an abandoned church. Canada’s Governor General is dying and an aboriginal shaman is called upon to perform last rites. Add a violent gang boss, Chinese assassins, dangerous women and Coast Salish mythology and it all adds up to another suspenseful page turner.

Evans’s combination of Coast Salish lore and solid plotting is a winner.
