This complex, multi-layered thriller opens with a glorious hero's welcome for Wilf McLauchlin, a celebrated WWII Canadian Spitfire fighter pilot who miraculously survived despite his own serious injuries. Temporarily perched at his father's law office until he can resume his legal studies, Wilf seems to be a magnet for dark and violent crimes that begin seeping from the small town in the war's aftermath. Death Spiral is an engrossing thriller, a literary tour-de-force, and a meditation on the deforming nature of war.
