Description
In the early 20th century, a young man named Patrick Lewis arrives in Toronto with little more than ambition and a willingness to take on dangerous work. He finds himself entangled in a series of clandestine operations, from searching for a missing magnate to participating in a daring underwater excavation beneath the city. As Patrick navigates this shadowy world, his life becomes interwoven with a cast of unforgettable characters, hinting at deeper connections and a complex tapestry of human experience. This novel masterfully explores themes of identity, belonging, and the hidden histories that shape a city and its inhabitants.
