Hailed as “one of Canada’s best-loved writers of popular history and literary biography,” Charlotte Gray (Murdered Midas) has been showered with awards for precise and richly drawn renderings of historical figures. Giller Prize winner Linden MacIntyre (The Wake) is renowned for his gripping non-fiction and fiction, crafting bestsellers that crackle with suspense and compassion. Undisputed masters of their craft, Gray and MacIntyre delve into their shared background as journalists, their approaches to historical research and their secrets to writing heartstopping, engrossing non-fiction.
