The tenth novel in the highly acclaimed Joanne Kilbourn series features the murderous fallout of a tell-all book on the troubled adult children of Canadian celebrities.
When journalist Kathryn Morrissey’s sensational book on the lives of thirteen adult children of prominent Canadians is published, one of the parents, Sam Parker, is furious enough to take a pot shot at the author, grazing her shoulder. Charges are laid, and Joanne’s new beau, Zack Shreve, is hired by Parker as his defence counsel. At the trial, which Joanne is covering for NationTV, Shreve focuses the jury’s attention not on who shot whom, but on why — on the ethics governing the relationship between a journalist and her subject.
Morrissey’s betrayal of her subjects opens up questions about an even more serious betrayal — the betrayal of children by their parents. While everyone condemns Parker for taking a gun to Morrissey, no one can fault his defence of his only child, Glen, a transsexual. The mutual love and commitment between this father and child stands in stark contrast to the alienation between Howard Dowhaniuk, Saskatchewan’s former premier, and his son, Charlie.
On the day of the verdict, Morrissey is brutally murdered, and Joanne’s investigation quickly has her trying to unravel the endless knot of the relationship between parent and child.
A deeply affecting novel of trust and betrayal, The Endless Knot is a superb mystery by a virtuoso of the genre.

Review
"Hugely readable."
— National Post
"A late-night page turner.... A rich and satisfying read."
— Edmonton Journal
"It's a fascinating plot, and in Bowen's skilled hands, it becomes a page-turner.... Gripping. . . . when Bowen is on - as she definitely is in this latest novel - she takes a back seat to no one. She's on a new high, and she's a provincial treasure."
—The Star Phoenix (Saskatoon)
"Engrossing."
— Toronto Star

Chapter 1
As I bent down to cut the last of our marigolds on the Friday before Thanksgiving, I was as happy as I could remember being. The stems of the flowers were cool against my fingers, and their sturdy beauty and acrid scent evoked memories of marigolds hastily picked by my kids and carried off, stems sheathed in wax paper and anchored by elastic bands, to be given to a teacher or abandoned on the playground. It was a morning for remembering, as filled with colour and ancient mystery as a Breugel painting. Above me, skeins of geese zigzagged into alignment against the cobalt sky. The high clear air rang with their cries. A north wind, urgent with change, lifted the branches of our cottonwood tree, shaking the leaves loose and splashing the lawn with gold. Beneath my feet last week’s fallen leaves, bronze and fragile as papyrus, crackled into the cold earth.
For the first time in a long time, there was nowhere I had to be. I was on sabbatical, expanding an article I’d written about the emerging values war in Canada into a book. It was an open-ended project that I found easy to pick up and easier to put down. My three grown children were living independent lives marked by the usual hurdles but filled with promise. They were all strong and sensible people, so I crossed my fingers, enjoyed their company, and prayed that the choices they made would bring them joy. Since my son, Angus, had enrolled in the College of Law in Saskatoon the month before, my younger daughter and I had been alone in our house. We missed Angus, but Taylor was just about to turn eleven, and the world was opening up to her. Listening as she spun the gossamer of unexplored possibilities was a delight neither of us ever wearied of.
Freed from the tyranny of a timetable, I read books I’d been meaning to read, gazed at art with an unhurried eye, listened to music I loved, and revelled in the quiet pleasures of the season Keats celebrated for its mist and mellow fruitfulness.
Best of all, there was a new man. His name was Zachary Shreve and he’d brought with him a piercing happiness I’d forgotten existed. But I had just celebrated a birthday. I was fifty-six and as I walked back into the house, my joy was edged with autumn’s knowledge that nothing gold can stay.
The kitchen phone was ringing. I dropped the marigolds in the sink and picked up, expecting to hear Zack’s voice. For the last eight weeks he’d been putting in twelve-hour days — first on a case involving the death of a homeless man who had the bad luck to seek shelter in a warehouse on the night the warehouse owner set his property on fire, and now on a high-profile case of attempted murder. Zack called often — mostly just to talk but, if we were lucky, to arrange time together. My caller wasn’t the man I loved. It was my old friend, Jill Oziowy, who, after a heady New York experience, had decided to return to the relative sanity of Toronto and her old job as producer of Nationtv’s Canada Tonight. As always, Jill didn’t waste time on preamble.
“How would you like to go once more into the breach for Nationtv?”
I cradled the phone between my shoulder and ear, picked up the vase on the counter and started filling it with water. “Not a chance,” I said.

This is my lucky day -- I just discovered Gail Bowen!
By Sigrid Macdonald
As an author, editor and voracious reader, I love to discover Canadian writers. The other day I stumbled upon Gail Bowen and began reading her ever so literary mystery, The Endless Knot. I couldn't put it down. The characters were well developed and imminently likable, the plot was complex but not overly so, in that the ending was entirely believable, and I thoroughly enjoyed the background.
Also appreciated Bowen's pop culture references to music and I share her politics and world view.
Altogether, this is a wonderful novel about a man who is accused of murdering a journalist who exploits his child's life and that of other adult children in an exposé piece. It makes us think seriously about the ethics of broadcasting, which are so critical in this era (as I write this two days after the Virginia Tech massacre, the role of the media is
being debated everywhere. How can they balance the public's right to know with the individual's right to privacy? When does reporting stop being informative and begin to sensationalize or worse, play an active role in contributing to a crisis?)
The story is told by Joanne, a divorcee who has just found love again with a cutthroat lawyer who may not share her values. I haven't read the earlier Joanne Kilbourne stories but I just picked up two other pocketbooks in the store this afternoon.
Gail Bowen rocks!

Gail Bowen does it again!
By Ann W. Gael
I have loved the Joanne Kilbourne series since I discovered it on a long-ago trip to a bookstore in Calgary. On my return to New York, I sought out others of the series. This book continues to furnish great enjoyment. Joanne's not-so-new husband is terrific, and it's particularly great how they deal with his disability. I like him a lot better than her now-deceased former man friend. And having her family around fills out the story well. I look forward to the next installment and have emailed Gail Bowen asking her to write faster!
