Promenade

Smeeth lies like a ladder abandoned along the railway tracks in southernSaskatchewan. So begins Promenade, a mystery set in a small town on the doorstepof an Indian Reserve. There isnt much to do, so the women spend their eveningswalking and talking. The story is told by the community nurse and a young boy. They become entangledin events that include a fi re, a break-in, elder abuse, counterfeiting, and murder. The promenade provides a window on the community as it struggles to cope in anatmosphere of unrelenting heat and interracial tension.
