Join author Gail Bowen for the Saskatoon launch of her latest mystery novel The Solitary Friend (ECW Press), with special guest host Anthony Bidulka.
This event will be held live in the Travel Alcove and also available as a simultaneous YouTube stream.
In The Solitary Friend, the 23rd and penultimate installment in the Joanne Killbourn Shreve series, scandalous photos with threatening demands begin to appear targeting Joanne’s friends. She must race to find the source of the mysterious messages before they make good on their menacing ultimatum.

An author, playwright, and teacher, she has received numerous writing awards, including a lifetime achievement award from the Crime Writers of Canada. She lives in Regina, SK, with her husband, Ted.
Host Anthony Bidulka is the author of 15 novels and the recipient of numerous awards, including the Crime Writers' of Canada Award of Excellence, the Independant Publisher Book Award for Best Fiction, and a Lambda Literary Award for Best Mystery. His most recent novel, Home Fires Burn, was released in June 2024, concluding his groundbreaking Merry Bell series. He lives in Saskatoon with his husband, Herb.
