When a powerful British MP calls on the police to find his son’s missing nurse, DCI Neil Paget takes on a puzzling case that may not even involve a crime. Member of Parliament Stephen Lorrimer and his wife Julia were at their wit’s end trying to care for their son Michael, who is nearly blind and cannot speak. Then they found Justine Delgado. As Michael’s live-in nurse, Justine bonded with him in a way his parents never could. But now Justine has suddenly vanished, and Michael is inconsolable. Julia is quick to report the girl’s failure to return after leaving the house for Sunday service. Detective Chief Inspector Neil Paget and his team try to piece together Justine’s movements, but find no evidence of criminal activity. While her disappearance is alarming, and a request from an MP can never be taken lightly, Paget and his team begin to wonder if they have a case at all. Then a bit of luck and a detective’s intuition uncovers a lead no one expected . . . “A brisk and unusual puzzler.” —Kirkus Reviews
Originally written in 1969, when he was twenty-four, Paul's book initially describes his early years in Bristol, England, a brief torrid equatorial experience, and subsequent immigration by ship to Canada in 1953. Numerous challenges and adaptations spring from this major uprooting. We share them through Paul's interesting and descriptive record of growing up in the fifties and sixties, initially in rural Alberta, followed by later childhood and adolescent experiences in a small town on the Ottawa River, west of Montreal. Next comes life in Montreal during the sixties, with all the social, cultural, and musical changes. As Paul's story goes along life's road, he fills it with many unique, clearly creative descriptions of Nature during all seasons. Challenges, like a negative father-son relationship, are more than balanced by bonding with a best-friend's family, time and escapades with other friends, and young early-parenthood. Available in soft-cover bulk orders, 100 copies minimum.
