Who killed Canada's coolest doctor? 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. Turns out there's no shortage of good-looking guys in the gourmet capital of North America—and a Code Blue in the men's locker room. On her first emergency room shift, Hope tries to resuscitate a doctor. Not just any doctor, but St. Joseph's smartest, most charming, most beloved M.D. The police think he accidentally overdosed on insulin. Yet why did he wander in the operating room area in the middle of the night? Either he had untold secrets, or evil lurks in the crumbling corridors of St. Joe's. When Hope tries to uncover the killer, two men dive in to help her. The one man with charm to burn has zero alibi. See Hope eat. See Hope laugh. See Hope run. Because in the end, her only goal is #1: survive. Code Blues. Sex, drugs, and doctors. Written by an emergency physician trained in Montreal.

Hope Sze medical mystery

Code Blues

Two doctors. One killer. One woman in labour. A killer infiltrates the obstetrics ward of a Montreal hospital just before Christmas, taking one pregnant woman and one resident doctor hostage at gunpoint. Dr. Hope Sze struggles to deliver her patient's baby with blood on the floor and death in the air. And when Dr. Tucker tries to rescue their tiny crew, only to end up hostage material alongside them, Hope's heart just might break, even before the kidnapper drills a bullet through her skull. Advance praise: "I was completely hooked--an intriguing and introspective thriller." David Farland, New York Times bestselling author "Just couldn't put it down. The mix of gun-in-your-face suspense and humor is as close to perfect as one can get." Richard Quarry, author of Midnight Choir "Dang thing kept me up until 03:30." Greg Smith, M.D.

Stockholm Syndrome

A mother who burns for justice. The doctor who can’t say no. And the killer who lies in wait. Dr. Hope Sze solved her first murder case a week ago—and almost got strangled in the process. Now she just wants to pass her psychiatry rotation. No more Sherlock Holmes-ing for Hope. Ever. Until her first psych patient says, "My daughter is dead. And somebody killed her." Hope can’t walk away from this grieving mother. Yet how can she solve a murder that stumped Montreal’s police department for the past eight years? Sifting through the cold case, Hope recruits two hot, brilliant men to their cause, one of them her ex-boyfriend, the other a doctor who could represent her future. Yet as they draw ever-closer to the truth, the killer shifts out of the shadows. This psychopath has waited eight long years to kill again. Now Hope must protect not only herself, but two innocent men and a mother who yearns for retribution. Notorious D.O.C. A psychological thriller about family ties, revenge, and the outer edge of sanity.

Notorious D.O.C.

WHEN HOUDINI MEETS MURDER 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 ex-paramour, 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? And so Hope plunges into her most unconventional and, possibly, her most terminal 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 "Narrating in a sprightly style while sharing some of the nitty-gritty of a resident's job, Hope Sze is an utterly likeable character.”--Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine
