Overview

Michaela (Mickie) Bédard works at the Stevens, Bédard Investment Bank, a bank founded by her great grandfather. She is working on an Initial Public Offering for a technology company. Walking home one evening she suffers a severe asthma attack and the investigation leads Gilles to New York and to a network of shady characters operating in New York and in Montreal who are trying to steal the deal from Mickie. The investigation is further complicated by three more murders. King brilliantly combines the best elements of a gritty police procedural in a novel full of twists and unexpected turns. Annie's clever insights are critical in solving the crimes. In the second Annie Linton, Gilles Bellechasse mystery novel, recovering bookseller Montrealer Richard King once again reveals his keen sense of metropolitan life in Montreal and New York City.

Reviews

"King, a lively writer with fine storytelling skills… Readers who know Montreal will recognize neighbourhoods, streets and landmarks in A Stab at Life. Indeed, the city is as much a character as the nurse and the detective." —Susan Schwartz, The Montreal Gazette.

"King] excels in weaving in working-class immigrant life in Côtes-des-Neiges into his intricate plot of crime and passion." —The Ottawa Review of Books

"King masterfully uses a slick third-person narrative throughout his novel, shifting from character to character at exactly the right moment, giving readers the best seat in the house." —Montreal Review of Books
