Overview
Bush pilot and family man Tom Stokes is about to face the worst day of his life. On a clear winter's morning he sets out in his Cessna 180 to do some repairs on a remote hunt camp, leaving his 5 year old son and very pregnant wife snug in their beds. On the return trip, a sudden squall forces him into an emergency landing and he winds up--quite literally--in the lap of petty criminal Dale Knight. Dale, now a fugitive from the law--and worse, from a merciless Toronto drug lord who happens to be his brother--draws Tom into a web of mayhem that puts not only his own life at risk, but the lives of his wife, son...and unborn child. Squall is a fast-paced, darkly-comic tale of murder, kidnapping and gang-style retribution that grabs the reader on page one and simply does not let go.
