Based on a true story from the nineteen-forties, CAPE TORMENT
recreates the incredible events surrounding one of Canada's most
shocking crimes. Quebec City jeweller, Marcel Gagnon, is desperate
to be free to marry his stunning, teenage mistress, Therese
Sainte-Angele. But divorce is an impossible option in his
repressive Catholic community, and his frustration mounts when
Therese threatens to leave him. Determined to get what he wants, he
resorts to committing an unprecedented atrocity, one that wrecks
lives and leaves the world a less trusting place. Rita Gagnon is
the loyal wife fighting for the man she loves, swearing to honour
her marriage vows to the end of her days. Marguerite Laval is the
coarse, small-time felon who dresses in black, and runs errands for
the jeweller she owes money to. Xavier Levesque - her crippled
brother - is Gagnon's womanizing clock-maker assistant. And, Liffey
MacBaine is the pretty airline stewardess, from Alberta, haunted by
her past, and longing to be reunited with the daughter she gave up
for adoption in the midst of appalling tragedy. All of these
characters are researched representations of the real life people
whose lives were forever bound by an act of cold blooded evil. Who
will live and who will die? That is the question answered in this
gripping novel's suspenseful, climactic scenes.
