A Two-Hour-Read Novella — Plotted in Canada

When best friends Agnes and Rachel attend a conference at a Halifax university, they expect some intellectual thrills. But they never dreamed of running into a murdering predator.

While Rachel gets to meet a charismatic professor she admires, nothing goes right for Dr. Agnes Taylor. As a job-seeking philosopher, she wants to impress fellow academics with a brilliant paper on a thorny ethical issue. She soon comes under attack and her one-man audience threatens to kill her knock-down argument.

Even the lunch date with her mother, Sera, who teaches at the university, does not pan out. There’s too much upheaval caused by Tania, a student no-show who was to pick up the famous keynote speaker at the airport. No one knows where Tania is.

The trip to the foggy Maritimes challenges not only Agnes’s moral beliefs, but her deductive skills.

Can Agnes stop the evil?
