Award-winning writer Drew Hayden Taylor discusses his sweeping and hilarious new novel at the North York Central Library Concourse, TPL's new premiere event space for cultural and heritage programming.

In Cold, we meet Elmore Trent, a professor of Indigenous studies who finds himself entangled in an affair that's ruining his marriage; Paul North, who plays in the IHL (Indigenous Hockey League), struggling to keep up with the game that's passing him by; Detective Ruby Birch, who is chasing a string of gruesome murders, with clues that conspicuously lead her to both Elmore and Paul. And then there's Fabiola Halan, former journalist-turned-author and famed survivor of a plane crash that sparked a nationwide tour promoting her book.
What starts off as a series of subtle connections between isolated characters quickly takes a menacing turn, as it becomes increasingly clear that someone—or something—is hunting them all.
Drew Hayden Taylor speaks with Denise Bolduc about Cold, a pulse-pounding and propulsive narrative that blends thriller, murder mystery, and horror with humour and spectacle.
Q&A and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.
