Categories: Biographies & Memoirs
Blood in the Water: A True Story of Revenge in the Maritimes is a 2020 work of nonfiction by the Canadian writer Silver Donald Cameron, published by Viking in the year of his death. It investigates the 2013 killing of Phillip Boudreau, a man who had terrorised the Acadian fishing community of Petit-de-Grat on Isle Madame, Nova Scotia, for years, and who was shot by local lobster fishermen. Cameron uses the case to explore justice, loyalty and how small communities succeed and fail.

- Margaret Atwood: “Fascinating! BLOOD IN THE WATER, by the late Silver Donald Cameron. A murder in rural #NovaScotia provides deep insights into how communities work: how they succeed, +how they can fail. Must-read for all concerned about how humans manage to live together.”
