Stillborn Lover
The abrupt recall of a highly regarded Canadian ambassador from his post, the mysterious death of a Russian youth found brutally murdered in a Moscow hotel room, and the ambitions of an Ottawa diplomat - The Stillborn Lover explores the darker side of loyalty and commitment, when the stakes are high and diplomatic careers hang by the thread.
Kept isolated in a "safe-house" and subjected to interrogations by two special police agents, Harry Raymond, his ailing wife and adult daughter are forced to unravel the past, and with the past comes revelations that set off loyalty struggles, emotional confusion and misplaced trust.
Combining an eye for the subtle with well-crafted dialogue, The Stillborn Lover brings to the forefront Timothy Findley's unique, dramatic vision in an alluring tale of mystery, diplomacy and love.
