TONIGHT!

The book everyone is buzzing about. We are officially launching this book into the world, and would love to have you join us! After selling out of the first print run in just two months, we have reprinted and have lots of copies on hand.

Quentin will give a brief talk about the process of writing a book on a tragedy that hits so close to home for many Nova Scotians, discuss his meticulous research, and take your questions.

About the book:

It was a frigid night in February 2013 when the five young fishermen vanished. The crew of the Miss Ally––a 12-metre Cape Islander from Woods Harbour, Nova Scotia––was fishing for halibut far off the coast when their boat’s spotlight malfunctioned. A vicious winter storm was approaching from the south, and all other boats at the fishing grounds were steaming for shore. Unable to locate his longlining gear, the Miss Ally‘s young captain decided to stay an extra day to retrieve the gear and, hopefully, a big catch.

Their retreat delayed, the Miss Ally crew ended up pounded by hurricane-force winds and waves well over 10 metres high. Late on February 17, the boat foundered. The five young men aboard––Katlin Nickerson, Billy Jack Hatfield, Joel Hopkins, Cole Nickerson, and Tyson Townsend––were never found.

Almost 500 copies of Quentin Casey’s new book have sold (in Barrington Passage alone!) during the book’s first week on shelves.

Editor Emily MacKinnon admittedly got “obsessed” with this story while working on it. The fast-paced nonfiction account will grip you from start to finish.
