Check DICTIONARY OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND ENGLISH for *crow piss*

in phrase *up at crow piss* -- up at crack of dawn. Its editor

and present author has subsequently heard of *sparrow-fart* but

would like to know what Canadian mystery novel it's in, A BODY

SURROUNDED BY WATER or someh

thing like that?
