From the author of Cold and Motorcycles & Sweetgrass, a razor-sharp and darkly funny tale of ambition, greed, and Indigenous sovereignty—where the biggest gamble isn't at the tables, but in the human heart.

Welcome to Sucker Falls—Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.


Ladybug LaFlesche is a hurricane of a woman—a powerfully persuasive con artist plowing through people, places, and even her two sons, Donnie and Reeper, if necessary. On the run with police hot on their trail, Ladybug and her boys set their sights on Sucker Falls, the community where she was born and raised, and where she swore she'd never return.

Now, Sucker Falls represents a place of rebirth and refuge. Chasing grandeur, Ladybug sets out to build the greatest casino in the land, but things quickly get out of hand leaving her family and her home in piles of debt and in search of a miracle. When the miracle arrives in the form of three strangers with deep pockets, Ladybug and her boys must ask themselves how far they'll go to protect everything they have worked for.

Full of thrills and deception while also showcasing Drew Hayden Taylor's stylish and always-hilarious voice and teeming with a cast of characters that will haunt and infuriate readers, Sucker Falls is a modern take on a classic crime caper, showing us the pitfalls of power and how it can create monsters far scarier than those of legend.

批評家のレビュー

Advance praise for Sucker Falls

"I wanna tell you about a ladybug that bends wills with her words.
Who manipulates political language in a way that you're not sure you've heard,
Until a casino is built and mineral rights transferred.
I wanna tell you about Sucker Falls, and how by reading this book you'll be enthralled,
Of the tale of a family often on the run,
Who wander into some Bay Street diamond boys looking for fun.
Everyone thinks that they're gonna get rich,
But the suckers have left and it all goes to shit.
I wanna tell you that I will play.
Once you pick up this book, you'll not stay away."
Conor Kerr, author of Prairie Edge

"Drew Hayden Taylor is a prolific, thoughtful, and gifted storyteller who just keeps getting better, book after book. In Sucker Falls, Taylor spins a wild, hilarious roller coaster of a caper that had me turning the pages at breakneck speed while casting the movie in my mind. You'll never forget the ambitious Ladybug LaFlesche as she subverts convention—and all the rules—in realizing her dream, while staying one step ahead of police. Drew Hayden Taylor has done it again."
Terry Fallis, two-time winner of the Leacock Medal for Humour
