Where the Bodies Lie

Om Where the Bodies Lie

In a small city somewhere in an oil-rich Canadian province just east of the Rockies, a political scandal has erupted: an aging cabinet minister has struck and killed a member of his local constituency executive with his half-ton truck, in broad daylight. But the premier suspects that there is more to this "accident" than meets the eye -- and he wants to know the real reasons behind it before the media or his political rivals do. Enter the premier's old friend Harry Asher -- lawyer, former hockey star, self-styled intellectual, and recent divorcé -- who is hired to dig into the incident. And it is not long before Asher's investigation threatens to expose a chain of corruption that implicates many of the province's most powerful citizens -- including the province's legendary now-senile premier -- as well as its most cherished founding myths. Mark Lisac (author of "Alberta Politics Uncovered" and "The Klein Revolution") draws upon his decades of experience as a reporter at Alberta's provincial legislature to craft an absorbing debut novel -- part political thriller, part fable -- that opens up timeless themes of friendship, love, the inescapability of grief, the weight of history, and the nature of truth.
