Publisher's Note
Alexander MacDonald, an orphaned youth in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, spends a summer in the mines with his wild older brothers during a season that ends in murder. A first novel.

Industry Reviews
"Events shift from past to present, and from Atlantic coast to inland mining, with easy grace and believability....Mr. MacLeod is an admirable writer."
Adams

"...MacLeod's world of Cape Breton...has become a permanent part of my own inner library....MacLeod's tenderness--his sympathy for all these hard-drinking, lonely, wind-scattered island people--extends even to the animals that live and die in their midst."
Mallon

"NO GREAT MISCHIEF is a lesson in the art of storytelling. Not only does it show by example (which it does magnificently), but its subject is the way stories work, the sources of their power and the means by which they are kept alive....The language is exact, almost tactile, but the exactness is not preciosity or an accumulation of incidental detail. It consists in describing scenes only from a perspective that reveals what might be called their natural power, without human interference."
Times Literary Supplement - Hal Jensen (08/11/2000)
