Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Hardback, 1st Canadian edition. Mysteries which remain mysteries are not just unsettling, they challenge our comfortable view of the world as an understandable place. Everything, we like to believe, has an explanation. For almost a year, babies on the cardiac ward of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto suffered a mortality rate of unprecedented proportions. From June 29, 1980 to March 22, 1981, 33 babies died, 6 times the normal death rate on the wards. For almost 4yrs. thereafter, parents, prosecutors, judges, doctors, lawyers, hospital administrators, coroners, and nurses - some of the best minds in the country - struggled to explain this epidemic of deaths. Death we know, is never easy to understand: murder is even harder. And when the victims are babies, almost all of whom will never live to see their first birthday, the prospect is horrifying. Was it coincidence? Was it an accident? Was it murder? Illus., Sources + Index. 230pp. 8vo. h/back. F. in Nr. F. dw. Seller Inventory # 5526
