Farrow, John 1947- (Author).

Summary: "Set in Montreal, this is a prequel to the bestselling Cinq-Mars crime novels. On the night of the "Rocket Richard Riot" in 1955, the legendary Cartier Dagger is stolen from its protective glass in the Sun Life building. The dagger once belonged to the explorer Jacques Cartier. The same night, a man is found murdered with a dagger wound to his heart. Thirteen years later, Émile Cinq-Mars is asked to continue the investigation.
