20 Montreal Mystery and Music

Writing as John Farrow, Trevor Ferguson has made a name for himself as a popular crime writer. Tonight, he takes his new novel, River City, and parlays it into a one-man dramatic reading accompanied by the virtuoso flutes and whistles of David Gossage. Set against the backdrop of 450 years of Montreal history, this is a story of hockey, hoodlums, corruption and murder that transports us from the days of Jacques Cartier to the 1955 Rocket Richard Riot to the 1970s era of the FLQ. This unusual but riveting pairing of crime novel and period music is what fans of the Vancouver International Writers Festival have come to expect in our multidisciplinary events.

Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the door 45 minutes before the event begins.
