The Ferryman Will be There : an Ellis Portal Mystery by Rosemary Aubert Pdf
Ellis Portal is recruited by the Toronto police to help investigate the very public murder of a film director at his latest premiere and the disappearance of his teenage daughter.
When a famous film director is murdered--and his teenage daughter disappears--police detective Matt West realizes he'll need former judge Ellis Portal's help on this case. Ellis is the only man who knows the netherworld of Toronto well enough to find the girl. Having lived as a homeless man himself, Ellis understands how the desperate survive--and knows where to find them.
This is the third in prize-winning author rosemary Aubert's mystery series featuring Ellis Portal, a disgraced former judge, the unconventional sleuth described by the New Your Times as "a character with dignity and unusual moral depth." The second novel in the series, the Feast of Stephen, won Canada's Arthur Ellis Award as best mystery novel of 1999.
It’s the spring of 1965. Martin Luther King is marching on Selma, Alabama. Lyndon B. Johnson is just beginning to show that he thinks escalation of the situation in Vietnam is a good idea. The Russians are ahead of the Americans in the space race. For 23-year-old Ellis Portal, however, it’s not the new but the old that excites. He’s a first-year law student on the staid, tweedy campus of the University of Toronto, Canada. What he wants most is to become an intern to Magistrate Sheldrake Tuppin and to spend time in the magistrate’s clubby chambers high atop the Victorian heap that is Old City Hall. One night, however, the company of Gleason Adams, a man of unquestioned wealth and unquestionable character, Ellis is drawn into a bizarre murder mystery. When the body of this victim disappears from the morgue without a trace, Ellis is reluctantly drawn into areas of the city – and the law – that shake him out of the world of the tweedy campus and thrust him into the seedy world of questionable bars, marginal people, and deeds that have no other name than murder.
