Beyond Rigor Mortis
by BJ Lucknow


Ian McLintock seems to have it all. A respected physician and surgeon, he’s happily married, with one little girl and a new baby expected any day. But then, disaster strikes: after an onslaught of casualties from an explosion and an unexpected Cesarian section for his wife, Ian wakes up in a locked psychiatric unit. Fighting for his freedom, Ian faces unraveling family secrets, multiple assassination attempts, and a dark secret deep in his past that will change everything he believes he knows. Beyond Rigor Mortis is a mystery-thriller novel set in the 1980s, full of tense action, thrilling mysteries, mistaken identities, and buried secrets. It will appeal to readers who want a fast-paced and amusing read that’s chock full of red herrings and unpredictable twists and turns. Beyond Rigor Mortis is the sequel to Without Rigor Mortis; it can also be read as a standalone novel.


BJ Lucknow is the author of Without Rigor Mortis (2013), as well as two short stories that appeared in Snapshots, the Kingston Writer's Group anthology. She also wrote a year’s worth of monthly articles for the Whig Standard's Community Editorial Board. Before retirement, Lucknow had a varied career as a teacher, a library assistant at the Canadian Land Forces College Library in Kingston, staff at a medical library at Kingston General Hospital, and as a medical surgical supply technician. When she isn’t writing, Lucknow enjoys walking in nature every morning at Lake Ontario Park, crocheting, and cooking. She lives in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
