The Boarder
by Michael Mirolla
Mr. Bedner, the Eastern European landlord who believes he can resurrect his wife — by killing the person he blames for her death.
Torp, the devil-may-care student who may actually be part of a 1970s terrorist group, blowing up buildings in Vancouver’s downtown.
Giulio and Nicole, the naïve young couple from Montreal who find themselves in the middle of a macabre mystery — and an unexpected sexual entanglement.
This is the world of The Boarder, a world where reality barely scratches the surface, from the inner workings of university philosophy departments to ships sailing off into the Pacific sunset. It goes from murder and mayhem to an almost happy ending.
