Welcome to my website. I’m delighted that you’ve found me and hope there’s something here that piques your interest or even sparks you into sending me a message. I’ll update the blog from time to time with notions of Medicine (my calling) and Writing (my passion). In the meantime, I’m pressing on with the second Dr. Zol Szabo medical mystery (due out next year), where Zol, Hamish, Natasha, and Colleen are confronting death and skullduggery in a retirement residence.
Please support your local bookseller whenever you can. My local two are Bryan Prince Bookseller in Hamilton and Green Heron Books in Paris, ON.
Dr. Zol Szabo gazes across the Niagara Escarpment, his fingers crossed. Three citizens on ice in the university’s morgue, mad-cow prions riddling their brains — it must be just a cruel coincidence. If not, Zol’s patch of the province’s public-health map is a disaster about to explode onto grocery-store shelves and newspaper headlines. Within a week, infectious-diseases guru Hamish Wakefield — Zol’s eccentric friend and former classmate — confirms more human mad-cow deaths creating a pattern of disease never seen before. A consultant from Toronto, spoiling for a fight, hijacks the investigation and plunges the country into gastronomic chaos. The race to discover the source of the suspiciously aggressive prions tainting the food supply brings Zol face to face with forces darker and more personal than he ever bargained for.
