Principles to Live By is the 16th novel by Canadian writer David Adams Richards, published in 2016.[1]
The novel centres on John Delano, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer with a troubled personal life, who is investigating the cold case death of a young boy in 1999.[2]
The novel includes a scene in which Richards pokes fun at his own earlier novel Nights Below Station Street, with people in a local bar dismissing it as a "dirty, ignorant novel" that "nobody in their right mind would want to read".[2]
