Constable Eddie Dougherty returns in this gripping police procedural
Montreal, Labour Day weekend, 1972. The city is getting ready to host the first game in the legendary Summit Series between Canada and the USSR. Three men set fire to a nightclub and Constable Eddie Dougherty witnesses the deaths of 37 people. The Museum of Fine Arts is robbed and two million dollars’ worth of paintings are stolen. Against the backdrop of these historic events, Dougherty discovers the body of a murdered young man on Mount Royal. As he tries to prove he has the stuff to become a detective, he is drawn into the world of American draft dodgers and deserters, class politics, and organized crime.
A Little More Free, the second Eddie Dougherty mystery, presents a portrait of a city and an officer trying to find out where they stand in a divisive and rapidly changing world.

This is the second in the Eddie Doughtery series, but unfortunately the first one I've read. I will however make sure to get me book 1!. The plot is set against the background of 1972, a city preparing for sports, and our hero, Constable Eddie has to deal with the deal of people in a nightclub, a museam robbery and a body discovered. Eddie is still a rookie in many ways, and has to show his worth to everyone. I could identify with him as character as all of us have had to be the new guy, still proving himself, and I felt sorry for him. Awesome read, thanks Netgalley for the opportunity!
