PROLOGUE of CONDUCT IN QUESTION
Was it wrong to take a life so young?
Such beautiful skin was soft, smooth, and white as cream. He stroked her lustrous brown hair. A nervous smile flitted across her. He stared into her eyes. She was a university student, filled with the idealism of youth, but her lips and nails were painted red. The ceaseless debate pounded in his head. A painter should not discard a sketch for its lack of finish. With time, a musician could weave a simple tune into a great symphony. A true artist never rushed to judgment.

Can love and forgiveness be found amidst fraud and deceit?
Harry Jenkins, an honest lawyer, seeks truth and love in a world darkened by fraud and deceit. Years back, Elixicorp, a company developing a drug to forestall memory loss, defrauded millions from Toronto’s elite. But since then, no one has been able to find the money. This long buried treasure has poisoned the lives of all who seek it.

Final Paradox will be out this fall. It is the second, after Conduct in Question, in the Osgoode Trilogy.
Why the Osgoode Trilogy? Because a number of significant scenes in all three books are set in Osgoode Hall. Osgoode Hall is a beautiful court house in Toronto built in the early 1800's. If you'd like to see a photograph of it, just visit my website at www.maryemartin.com. Osgoode is also the seat of the self governing body of the legal profession. It's where Harry Jenkins reports the fraud.
