Synopsis
From a coal mine in Mexico to a wealthy family in New Brunswick, this extraordinary novel revolves around a single mysterious woman: Mary Cyr.
Mary Cyr opens in Mexico, just as a disaster strikes a small town: a coal-mine has collapsed, with thirteen men trapped inside. Less than forty-eight hours later, the authorities summarily decide to abandon all hope of finding survivors and seal up the mine entrance--willfully oblivious to the half-dozen souls still breathing below ground. Shortly after that, a thirteen-year-old Mexican boy, Victor, is discovered dead in the hotel room of a Canadian visitor--a 45-year-old woman, and heiress to a vast fortune, who goes by the name Mary Cyr.Thus begins this shocking, brilliant and compelling novel--a late-career tour de force by one of our most unique and powerful writers.This unwinding tale will take us from a harsh jail cell in Mexico, where Mary Cyr is imprisoned, deep into Canadian police officer John Delano's past, and even further into the murky depths of a wealthy New Brunswick family whose ties to mining, newspapers and a host of other interests lead to the highest corridors of power.

Review
A Globe and Mail Best Book of 2018
"Mary Cyr is a marvellously readable saga. . . . If you're a fan of Ruth Rendell's Barbara Vine books where character is the story, then Mary Cyr is for you." --The Globe and Mail "Reading this novel is profoundly unsettling. Terrible things happen, and Richards presents them without holding anything back. I won't forget this book." --Quill & Quire"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
