Dr. Hope Sze rolls into Montreal with three simple goals: 1) survive her family medicine residency, 2) try pain au chocolat, 3) go on a date sometime in the next two years. Then she discovers a doctor's body in the locker room. When she tries to uncover his killer, two men dive in to help her. The one man with charm to burn, the one man who makes her melt, has zero alibi. Code Blues. Sex, drugs, and doctors. Written by an emergency physician trained in the crumbling corridors of Montreal, Canada.

How to summarize the second exciting Hope Sze mystery? How about: - A mother who burns for justice, - A doctor who can't say no, and - A killer who lies in wait? Dr. Sze solved her first murder case only a week ago. And almost got strangled in the process. Now Hope just wants to pass her psychiatry rotation. No more Sherlock Holmes-ing. That is, until her first psych patient says, "My daughter is dead. And somebody killed her." Hope can't walk away from a grieving mother. Yet how can she solve a murder that has stumped Montreal police for the past eight years? Sifting through the cold case, Hope recruits two brilliant and hot men, one of them her ex-boyfriend, the other a doctor who could represent her future. Then, as they draw ever-closer to the truth, the killer shifts out of the shadows. Now she must protect not only herself but a mother who yearns for retribution. "Notorious D.O.C." is a psychological thriller about family ties, revenge, and the outer edge of sanity. Librarian's note: the first 2 books in the Hope Sze Medical Mystery Series are #1, Code Blues (2011); and #2, Notorious D.O.C. (2011).

Magic? 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 beloved ex-boyfriend, 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? Terminally Ill. Hope’s most unconventional 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. "Entertaining and insightful." —Publishers Weekly Book
