A Stain Upon the Land: Love and Death in Old Montreal![]() Shoreline Publications, 2016 - 376 pages When a shotgun blast ripped into an unsuspecting Robert Watson in 1827, not only horrifying the bustling city of Montreal but also launched a mystery that endures to this day: who killed Watson, and why? Blending fact and fiction, this is a tale of intrigue, passion and violence that ranges from the Highlands of Scotland to the backwoods of Glengarry County, from the War of 1812 to a cholera epidemic that scourged Montreal in 1832. We follow the fortunes of a young woman and the two men who love her - and not all of them can survive. |
