Beschreibung
An exciting second installment in the Dr. Annick Boudreau series, the endearing and unflappable Dr. Annick Boudreau returns in this complex and nuanced portrait of psychology and a city.
The endearing and unflappable Dr. Annick Boudreau returns in this complex and nuanced portrait of psychology and a city. Charles Demers renders a divisive cityscape entangled in questions of ownership and change—who owns the city and who has the right to change it—with humour, edge and compassion, revealing the intricacies of a metropolis on the verge of myriad transformations.
When Dr. Boudreau is contacted by the Vancouver Police and informed that her patient Danielle has been reported missing and there’s a suicide note, Dr. Boudreau is shaken. Danielle, who was being treated for a major depressive episode, had been doing well—talking about her new relationship and the contract she just completed as a speechwriter for a bike-riding politician’s successful mayoral campaign.
Dr. Boudreau is, once again, on a mission to discover what really happened and joins forces with Danielle’s estranged father Ivor, a former radical journalist turned right-wing blogger. Along the way, the realpolitik is illuminated—a clash over the Knight Street trucking route, protected by the Satan’s Hammer Motorcycle Club, who have a strong presence on the waterfront and refuse to relinquish the port traffic to the suburbs.
Discover the clash and charisma of a city embroiled in politics and change, in this twisting and turning story.
