Tent flap open. Sandals still neatly lined up in front of the riverside tent. But no sign of odd Uncle Leonard, who can't swim. Solving two murders back in Montreal made Hope Sze a touch paranoid.

Blue Christmas - Hope Sze Medical Crime, #5.2

HOUDINI WHODUNIT Dead Man DrowningMagic? Dr. Hope Sze steers clear of magic. But when "Elvis the Escape King" chains and nails himself inside a coffin and lowers himself into Montreal's St. Lawrence River, in honour of Harry Houdini, he can't break free. So Hope restarts his heart and saves his life. But now Elvis demands to know who sabotaged his stunt. Hope hung up her amateur detective badge two months ago in order to tend to cancer patients on palliative care. The only cases she solves right now are case studies on pain and over-stuffed emergency rooms. Which gets just the tiniest bit boring. Hope could escape Montreal any day now. She could transfer to Ottawa to join her ex-paramour, Ryan. No more unspeakable Montreal drivers and stymied medical care. No more working with the charming yet infuriating Dr. Tucker. Hope the Escape Artist can afford to act generous. As parting gift to Montreal, city of festivals (and murderers), she could help Elvis out. Just asking a few questions won't hurt anyone. Right?And so Hope plunges into her most unconventional and, possibly, her most terminal adventure yet. Where the magical art of escape and the dastardly art of crime vie for centre stage, and the better man may lose. Forever. "[T]his novel demonstrates familiarity with the conventions of mysteries without being constrained by them and with the realities of Canada's medical world.

Terminally Ill - Hope Sze Medical Crime, #3

Pharaohs' tombs. Ancient myths. Modern-day murder. Dr. Hope Sze doesn't need a trip to Egypt. She can't afford the flight to Cairo, or the cruise down the Nile, but her fiancé, Dr. John Tucker, yearns to patrol the Pyramids. So when a company offers them both a free stay in Cairo in exchange for working in an emergency department, Tucker lobbies for a pre-honeymoon in the windswept temple of Hatshepsut and the Valley of Kings and Queens, confronting the curse on King Tutankhamun's tomb, or flying off to scuba dive in the Red Sea. Instead, within 90 minutes of arrival, Hope drops to her knees outside the Grand Egyptian Museum, desperate to save a now-comatose 87-year-old man with a nail through his skull. The man had raved about Kruger and treasure. Tucker fixates on their one chance at the legendary Kruger Millions, a fortune in gold that many believe to be secretly stowed somewhere in South Africa. Since Tucker and Hope's combined student debt load totals almost half a million dollars, Tucker can't pass up the possibility of buried gold. So Hope and Tucker launch into their first mystery based in a birthplace of human civilization. Where wealth and power clash with political revolution. Where the evil god Set battled righteous Horus and Isis in an 80-year war. Where Antony fell in love with Cleopatra. Where Hope and Tucker must outwit, or fall prey, to a ruthless criminal mastermind. Written by an emergency physician and award-winning author "Bursting with murder, medicine, and mythology."-Dr. Mamta Gautam, author of Irondoc "ER meets Homeland in a frenetic Egyptian adventure.
