OverviewEarly one summer morning Stanley Watson, a retired intelligence officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, receives an ominous phone call. A corporal from Sherbrooke, Nova Scotia, on the other end, tells him that a woman's body too mutilated to identify had been discovered on the eastern seashore, near Sherbrooke. The police need Watson's help in identifying the body because they predict that the woman's body is in fact the remains of Watson's mother-in-law, Marion Barber. After Stan helps police identify the body with DNA and dental records, his wife, Chelsea, travels to Sherbrooke to see where her mother's body washed ashore and to say good-bye. Meanwhile, other nefarious people are busy, setting up a way to swindle elderly people from their fortunes, all under the guise of offering a high-end retirement home and clinic with a cutting-edge, fountain-of-youth operation that can heal ailments and extend their lives for decades. What the operation really entails is a gruesome death and disposal of the bodies. In The Fontana Resurrection, Stanley Watson attempts to uncover what happened to Marion. What he finds is truly unsettling: a web of deception, greed, and pure evil that preys on the wealthy elderly-often abandoned by their families and often too trusting of others who promise hope-and Marion is just one victim. Can he stop others from being killed or will he become the next victim?...

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationDavid Edey had stints with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as an intelligence officer and at Nortel, retiring right before the company ceased operations. Although much of The Fontana Resurrection is drawn directly from real-life experiences, it is a work of fiction. Based on a dream that he had about his mother-in-law, he first wrote it as a short story. After encouragement from family and friends, he extended the story into a full-length piece of fiction, highlighting the story of exploited seniors who are more susceptible to scams. When writing the full version, he traveled to Nova Scotia and British Columbia to research the settings and characters for authenticity. In addition, he co-authored and edited the book, Prairie Crocus: The Clays-Their Family, Friends, and Their Place in Canada's History with Shirley Black. He and his wife, Linda, live in Manotick, Ontario.... Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
