Magic? Dr. Hope Sze steers clear of magic.
But when Elvis the Escape King chains and nails himself inside a coffin in Montreal's St. Lawrence River, he can't break free.Soon after Hope restarts his heart and saves his life, Elvis demands to know who sabotaged his stunt.
And so Hope plunges into her most unconventional and most terminal adventure yet.
Where the magical art of escape and the dastardly art of crime vie for centre stage, and the better man may lose. Forever.
The most recent installment in a series comprised thus far of three novels and a radio play, this novel demonstrates familiarity with the conventions of mysteries without being constrained by them and with the realities of Canada's medical world. Although the tone is light, the author is not afraid to introduce darker themes. The three intertwining mysteries and Hope herself provide a narrative by turns entertaining and insightful.
