In John Farrow’ s riveting 10th novel featuring his iconic
detective É mile Cinq-Mars, an investigation into a peculiar rash
of deaths, in which the elderly sitting up straight suddenly “
pop off,” lays bare the roots and intricacies of the opioid
crisis. Retired from the Montreal Police Service, Cinq-Mars is
tapped by a State Trooper to look into deaths being booked as “
natural causes.” Should they perhaps be viewed differently, as
suspicious? Cinq-Mars’ s foray draws him into a mysterious clique
of elderly women, working women, and a teenaged girl on crutches,
which leads to a harrowing ordeal when he’ s struck by an
assassin’ s bullet. Will death be sufficiently patient with him
that from his hospital bed he can resolve how and why the elderly
on one side of a state line die quickly and mysteriously while on
the other their deaths are slow and agonizing?What is the scheme?
Who is behind it all? Will his assassin strike again?As he
investigates, and considers a move with his wife to her family
home, É mile Cinq-Mars encounters the secrets of a New Hampshire
community wracked by tragedy, and meets the valiant women who will
struggle to save him, as he has struggled to save them.
