?A rich man and a poor man are found dead of gunshot wounds outside a seedy
bar on Barrington Street in Halifax. The police declare it a murder-suicide,
but bluesman/lawyer Monty Collins - hired to represent the victims' families -
suspects it's a double murder. The case gets complicated when the police link
the gun to the suspicious death of a high-flying lawyer named Dice Campbell.
Helped by his friend Father Brennan Burke, and hindered by his femme fatale
law partner Felicia Morgan, Monty explores the dark side of Halifax society:
hookers, drug addicts, boozers, gamblers, and people desperate to cover up a
series of parties that got way out of hand. Monty's investigations lead him to
a ruthless businessman with street connections, a preacher who's been seen
cruising for young people, and an oddball psychotherapist who may have
overstepped the boundaries of therapy with more than one person in the case.
As the story unfolds, Monty finds himself returning again and again to trade
barbs with Dice Campbell's hard-drinking widow, Mavis, whose motives are not
as clear as they initially seem to be. But the murder isn't the only thing on
Monty's mind. A secret from the past and turmoil with his estranged wife
Maura, have Monty singing the blues, lashing out at his closest friends, and
spending far too much time in the bars of Halifax.
