Obit

Obit by Canadian mystery writer Anne Emery, published by ECW Press in 2007. This hardcover edition in dust jacket is the second novel in the Collins-Burke mystery series, following Sign of the Cross. The story brings Halifax lawyer Monty Collins into a case involving a cryptic obituary, an Irish family’s buried history, and the lingering consequences of Declan Burke’s IRA past.

Anne Emery’s Collins-Burke novels combine legal mystery, family drama, Irish history, and vividly drawn Canadian and Irish settings. Emery’s first novel, Sign of the Cross, received the 2007 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Crime Novel, establishing the series within Canadian crime fiction.
