The Eddie Dougherty Mystery follows a young Montreal cop through the turbulent 1970s in Quebec. Black Rock (2013), A Little More Free (2015), and One or the Other (2016) place Dougherty in a city dealing with political radicalism, language tensions, and street-level crime, all filtered through John McFetridge’s noir sensibility.
The series draws on real events from 1970s Montreal, including the October Crisis and the city’s complex bilingual politics, to create crime fiction that is both historically grounded and emotionally immediate.
