(2019)(A book in the Marc Edwards series)
An omnibus of novels by Don Gutteridge
The 1830s in Canada are the years of unrest known as The Rebellions. Upper Canada and Lower Canada (modern-day Ontario and Quebec) are at odds, and the country is divided. Marc Edwards, Lieutenant-turned-Barrister, and his former police colleague, Constable Horatio Cobb, band together to solve crimes in Toronto.
Don Gutteridge’s Marc Edwards Mystery Series is set against the backdrop of rising political tensions between Upper and Lower Canada as the fledgling country tries to secure independence from British control, establish Canadian parliament, and install a responsible government.

A fiery sermon from Bishop John Strachan incites a grisly murder. Marc investigates and is shocked by the depravity he uncovers.

In Toronto’s rough days of 1839, a blackmailer targets several elite citizens who harbor dark secrets. When the extortionist is found dead, Marc defends an acquaintance that is wrongfully accused.
Unholy Alliance
