The Sin That Was His
The Sin That Was His
A Novel of Quebec
Mystery, masquerading and regeneration!
Book Excerpt
The Kid examined his card in approved fashion by pulling it slightly over the edge of the table and secretively turning up one corner; then, still face down, he pushed it back, and, MacDonald, returning with the glasses from the bar at that moment, reached greedily for his own and tossed it off.
