Late Nights on Air

Set in the remote Canadian North, specifically Yellowknife, in the long, golden summer of 1975, the novel centers on a small, local radio station just before television's arrival. Harry Boyd, a world-weary and disgraced former television broadcaster, has returned to his radio roots at the station. There, he falls in love with the mesmerizing voice of the new anchor, Dido Paris, a woman who is both a surprise and more than he imagined, having fled a disastrous affair in her past. The station crew is an eccentric and fascinating cast of characters whose lives are interwoven with love, longing, and rivalries. Against a backdrop of a proposed gas pipeline threatening to displace Native people and change the North's future, four members of the station embark on a life-changing, long canoe trip into the mysterious Barrens. In that wild Arctic setting, the balance of love shifts, and the expedition takes an unexpected, lethal turn.
