Books by Giles Blunt

Giles Blunt grew up in North Bay, Ontario. After studying English literature at the University of Toronto, he moved to New York City, where he lived for the next twenty years, before moving back to Toronto in 2002. His John Cardinal crime novels have been published in more than a dozen languages, and have won the British Crime Writers' Silver Dagger Award, and the Crime Writers of Canada Arthur Ellis award for best novel (twice). Blunt has twice been nominated for the Dublin IMPAC award, a rarity for a crime writer, and was recently granted an honorary doctorate by Nipissing University. On Canada Day, 2014, the CBC numbered Forty Words for Sorrow among the 100 novels that make us proud to be Canadian. His poems have appeared in Grain, Poetry Canada Review, and in an anthology edited by Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney.
