Can anyone think of any hardboiled stuff set in Montreal?
There's been some news recently about the "Duplessis
orphans"--children handed over to Catholic churches by the
long-serving premier, Maurice Duplessis--and it reminded me
that while he was keeping the entire province fairly
repressed in the '40s and '50s, Montreal was a wide open
city, with corruption, bribery, sex, jazz and all the rest. A
perfect setting. Does anyone know if it's been used?
[Montreal, for those who may not know, is the largest city in
Canada's French province, Quebec.]
