Searing, brilliant, and tension-filled, this is a foreboding tale about truth, lies and justice - quintessential David Adams Richards. When a terrible accident unsettles the peace in a small, tight-knit community, who will pay the price? Incidents in the Life of Markus Paul tells an intricate story about the miscarriage of justice in the case of one man's death in a shipping yard in New Brunswick in 1985. The novel is a meticulous study of the various half-truths, political machinations and outright lies that lead to the unfair incrimination of one man, Roger Savage, in the death of Hector Penniac, a promising young Micmac man from a local First Nations reserve.
