Sinopsis:
An Evil Tale I Heard is the sequel to The Devil's Making in which the English policeman Chad Hobbes solves the mystery of the discovery of the mutilated body of a British settler on Vancouver Island, in the Pacific in 1869. In 1871 Chad and his Tsimshian wife Lukswaas are on their way to England when Chad is asked to solve a new murder on another British island, Prince Edward Island, in the Atlantic. Its Mikmaq name is Abegweit -- 'Cradled on the Waves'. The Mikmaq are now outnumbered by French and English-speaking settlers and the island is in debt and under pressure to join Canada. Marie Évangéline, the daughter of one politician and wife of another, is found savagely beaten to death. Who is trying to kill whom? Who is in love with whom? These questions reveal great goodness, but an evil tale. Having travelled from sea to sea, Chad is again pulled between law and justice in a world where secrets are well hidden and protected.
Acerca del autor: Dr Sean Haldane in his historical and contemporary crime novels draws on his experience as a neuropsychologist in health services and the criminal justice system, first in Canada (Prince Edward Island and British Columbia) then in the UK from 1990 to 2020. From 2012 to 2020 he was in private practice based in London as an expert witness, working about 2/3 with police and crown prosecution services (via the National Crime Agency), and 1/3 with defence lawyers. In police work, he was instructed by and worked with Senior Investigating Officers in cases ranging from murder to Rape and Serious Sexual Offences (RASSO), abuse, assaults, and fraud. His assessments were done in police stations, hospitals, law offices, and prisons. His reports assisted the criminal justice system in determining whether the accused had suffered brain damage which affected the capacity to stand trial (fitness to plead) and the question of mens rea (the guilty mind): whether the person knew what he or she was doing while committing a crime. Although Seán Haldanes novels are about fictional events, his close knowledge of crime and of the questions it poses to police and the criminal justice system enables him to stay close to the psychological and practical reality of criminal investigation. Sean Haldane lives in London, UK and in New Brunswick, Canada. He is a UK, Irish, and Canadian citizen.
