Blackfly Season

by Giles Blunt

According to detective John Cardinal, the truly diabolical thing about blackflies is their stealthy silence; there is no warning and no chance to make a pre-emptive strike to prevent a bite. Every year at the beginning of May, they take over Algonquin Bay in Ontario, Canada.

This spring, the blackflies aren’t the only visitors. A self-proclaimed shaman and card-carrying member of the Chippewa First Nations has also arrived. Known as Red Bear, he has recruited three young men who share a history of drug use and living on the fringe.
