The Killing Farm
About the Book:
At a remote, government-run facility in Saskatchewan called The Farm, terminally ill patients or people with long-standing mental illness can choose to die on their own terms, and the sky is the limit. Some choose a quiet, peaceful passing, and some choose more elaborate, thriller-movie endings carried out by hired professionals. Operations are running smoothly for the facility’s manager, Captain Travis Hawkins, until two mysterious new clients arrive on the scene. Soon, terrorist threats by religious zealots are uncovered, dark secrets are revealed, a twisted contract killer sets his sights on his beautiful target, and the moral lines at The Farm become even blurrier than they already were.
"The Killing Farm is a multi-layered, provocative, challenging, and intriguing novel...
a challenge to the everyday exigencies of our usual beliefs and values."
