For sentimental reasons, I had placed Sally Love's old work-table in the middle of the room -- not as a barrier between Zack's area and mine but as a workspace that was accessible for either or both of us when we needed to spread out. That afternoon, Georgie and I definitely needed space. She arrived with her laptop and a satchel that she emptied onto the table, papers and notepads spilling across the surface.

For sentimental reasons, I had placed Sally Love's old work-table in the middle of the room -- not as a barrier between Zack's area and mine but as a workspace that was accessible for either or both of us when we needed to spread out. That afternoon, Georgie and I definitely needed space. She arrived with her laptop and a satchel that she emptied onto the table, papers and notepads spilling across the surface. "This is everything Roy wrote for Sisters and Strangers, including random scrawls and notes." She picked up one of the daily planner notepads Roy favoured for script writing. "You heard Roy's voice when he talked about the beginning of this project, Joanne. A professor of mine used to say, 'poetry tries to tell us what cannot be said.' Roy was happiest when he was on the brink of being able to show an audience something that could not be said in words. That's how it was for him when he wrote the first two episodes." Georgie handed me a copy of the script. "Now it's up to us, Joanne." "Bowen has a hard eye for the way human ambition can take advantage of human gullibility and insight, which makes this a compelling novel as well as a gripping mystery." -- Publishers Weekly on The Winners' Circle "A real sense of tragedy and compassion: these really are secrets to die for." -- Kirkus Reviews on What's Left Behind On a Saturday bright with harbingers of spring, Joanne Kilbourn-Shreve, her husband, Zack, and their family prepare to celebrate the season. Joanne's life is full, and at 60, she has been given the chance to understand a part of her history that for years was shrouded in secrecy. Living Skies is producing Sisters and Strangers, a six-part TV series about the tangled relationships between the families of Douglas Ellard, the father who raised Joanne, and Desmond Love, her biological father. Joanne is working on the script with Roy Brodnitz, a brilliant writer and friend. The project's future seems assured, but before the script is completed, Brodnitz disappears while scouting locations in northern Saskatchewan. Hours later, he's found -- sweat-drenched, clawing at the ground, and muttering gibberish. He dies in a state of mortal terror. Heartsick and perplexed, Joanne resolves to learn what happened in the last hours of Roy's life. What Joanne discovers threatens Brodnitz's legacy, and the decision about whether or not to reveal the truth is hers to make. The Unlocking Season is another deeply satisfying and thought-provoking novel from one of Canada's finest crime writers. Gail Bowen is an author, playwright, and teacher. Among her numerous writing awards are a lifetime achievement award from the Crime Writers of Canada and the Distinguished Canadian Award from the University of Regina. Reader's Digest has called her Canada's best mystery novelist. In 2018, she was awarded the Saskatchewan Order of Merit and the Grand Master Award of Crime Writers of Canada. She lives in Regina, Saskatchewan, with her husband, Ted.
