Aloha, Candy Hearts by Anthony Bidulka
From the calm Pacific to the storm-tossed prairie, a teasing puzzle turns into a frightening game of cat and mouse for gay PI Russell Quant. Russell can't be sure whether a dead man's surprising last gift will take him on a treasure hunt or a treacherous game of life or death. With a series of clues spanning decades -- from a shocking modern-day murder to Saskatoon's dark, hidden past -- he revisits the harsh realities of early homesteading, investigates the blackmail of one of the literary world's most esteemed writers, and digs for clues at the site of a never-forgotten scourge. As past reveals future, the hunter becomes the hunted. Racing to keep up with his latest case, Russell must balance his professional life with the demands of a wedding, a memorial, and at least one home-cooked meal at Mom's. With the Hawaiian sand barely shook free from his hair, Russell is confronted, professionally and personally, with the harsh consequences of indecision. Saying aloha is not always easy. Welcome to the world of Russell Quant ... .
Bidulka, Anthony: - In 1999 Anthony Bidulka, BA, BEd, BComm, CPA left a decade long professional accounting career to pursue writing and never looked back. In 2003, Quill & Quire described Bidulka's first book, Amuse Bouche: A Russell Quant Mystery, as ...an effervescent first novel that is much like the tasty French hors d'oeuvres from which it takes its name, earning Bidulka a nomination for the Crime Writers of Canada Arthur Ellis Award. Bidulka wrote two books following the adventures of man of action Adam Saint, a tough-as-nails, luxury loving, Disaster Recovery Agent. In 2016 Bidulka published his first stand-alone suspense novel, Set Free, with Kirkus Reviews saying: The countless plot twists are exhilarating, with gasp-inducing drama and flatly startling story turns. Bidulka's books have been nominated for Crime Writers of Canada Arthur Ellis Awards, Saskatchewan Book Awards, a ReLit award, Lambda Literary Awards, with Flight of Aquavit awarded the Lambda Literary Award for Best Men's Mystery, making Bidulka the first Canadian to win in that category. Anthony has toured extensively in both Canada and the United States. A great believer in community involvement, he has been on the boards of local, national and international organizations. He was recently inducted to his local university's Wall of Honour and named his city's Citizen of the Year. When he isn't writing, Bidulka loves to travel the world, collect art, walk his dogs and throw a good party.
