Starred review from November 28, 2011
Boston serves as the backdrop for Shrier’s explosive third crime novel featuring Jonah Geller, a Toronto PI with a penchant for cases south of the border. When the Brookline, Mass., police are unable to find David Fine, a “transplant fellow” and devout Jew who’s disappeared from Boston’s Sinai Hospital, Fine’s parents hire Geller to investigate. Aided by partner Jenn Raudsepp, Geller follows a twisted trail that involves Fine’s distinguished transplant surgeon boss; a mob guy with a new scam; Fine’s rabbi; a Boston lawyer whose wife needs a kidney; and an Indian grocer who vanished the week before Fine. When Raudsepp’s life is on the line, Geller calls in reinforcements, including a friend who’s a former contract killer, and prepares for war. Having won Arthur Ellis Awards for 2008’s Buffalo Jump and 2009’s Chicago High, Shrier should make it three in a row with this excellent effort. Agent: Helen Heller.
Starred review from January 1, 2012
When Dr. David Fine, a gifted young Boston-based, Orthodox Jewish transplant surgeon, vanishes, his Canadian parents are frantic. Toronto PI Jonah Geller agrees to take the case. He and his partner Jenn Raudsepp, tracing David's path on the day he was last seen, soon uncover bizarre links among the Irish mob, a local congressman, and a rabbi with big dreams. Creepily, they're all connected to the prominent hospital where David works. Jonah finds the idea that organ theft could be anything but urban legend ludicrous, but when folks are desperate, creative black-market opportunities do open up. Then things get downright brutal in this complicated thriller, and Jonah is forced to bring in reinforcements. David's betrayal by those he trusted the most is not something that Jonah is going to let slide. VERDICT There is a reason Shrier (High Chicago) consistently wins the Arthur Ellis, Canada's highest crime fiction award: he tells a really good story. Relish the local color, cultural nuances, and successive waves of action.
