Against his better judgment, Daniel follows the thread which connects these deaths in order to discover the truth.

Noted for its musicality and its ample, expansive lyricism, Acadian poet Serge Patrice Thibodeau's poetry reveals a new dimension in this collection. These lines of poetry are murmured, practically whispered, the stanza making use of the ellipsis. The angry, melancholic, and tormented tone seen in the poet's previous work gives way to the desire to convey poetry freed from revolt, sadness, and indignation. What results is a mitigated tension that strives for joy and is serene rather than impassioned, one emanating from rest: rest of the body, the mind, the soul, and especially of the heart. Let Rest is a translation of Que repose (Perce-Neige, 2004), Thibodeau's eleventh book of poetry. In praise of his award-winning book Le Quatuor de l'errance, the Canada Council for the Arts wrote: "In pure, beautiful language that is rich in imagery and words, Serge Patrice Thibodeau has penned an inspired song that marks him as one of the important poets of our time."
