Quebec's leading actress, Madeleine Blais, is haunted by a deep-rooted suspicion of men- she is terrified that they are going to kill her, destroy her simply for being a woman. So when on Christmas morning her body is found hanging in a barn close to her grandmother's cottage, the obvious verdict is that she has been driven to suicide by her despair. However, it takes only her grandmother's unshakeable belief in Madeleine's love of life to awaken the suspicions of her close friend and lawyer, Paul Rousseau. Before long, Madeleine's suicide turns into a murder investigation. While the police begin to conduct their inquiries, Paul decides to take things into his own hands. But as he unfolds certain intriguing facts about Madeleine's past, it emerges that he himself has secrets to hide and that until he confronts his psychological problems the truth of the situation will remain forever unknown. Dark and utterly compelling, The Dead of Winter unravels the intricacies of human relationships while exploring with raw honesty the irrational reasons behind sexual jealousy.
