Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Former bookseller Richard King has created two memorable characters in his mystery novel, <i>A Stab at Life</i>. Annie Linton, RN, is a nurse in the Emergency Department of the Gursky Memorial Hospital in Montreal and Gilles Bellechasse is a detective in the Major Crimes Division of the Montreal Police Force. Gilles is in charge of investigating a series of murders that have occurred in a park and the area surrounding the Gursky Memorial located in the Cote-des-Neiges area of the city. Suspects include members of a vigilante group devoted to getting drug dealers out of the park, a jealous husband, a mysterious woman of whom nude drawings turn up in one of the murder victim's bedroom, and competing drug dealers. Annie's excellent diagnostic skill plays a critical role in solving the crime. King's mysteries are reminiscent of the originators of the mystery genre such as Agatha Christie and Rex Stout. <i>A Stab at Life</i> will delight fans of murder mysteries and have them waiting impatiently for the next novel in the series.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"King, a lively writer with fine storytelling skills... Readers who know Montreal will recognize neighbourhoods, streets and landmarks in<i> A Stab at Life</i>. Indeed, the city is as much a character as the nurse and the detective." --Susan Schwartz, <i>Montreal Gazette</i><br><br>"King, who has been a volunteer at Montreal's Jewish General Hospital for many years, makes good use of his knowledge of hospital procedures to develop the plot and character of ER nurse, Annie Linton. He also excels in weaving in working-class immigrant life in Côtes-des-Neiges into his intricate plot of crime and passion." --<i>Ottawa Review of Books</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Richard King</b> served as President of the Canadian Booksellers Association. He has published four previous novels and two biographies. .
