Description
CW: Child loss & abuse
In medicine, one opinion can save a life or take it...
A midnight tragedy. A father accused. And a young doctor who dares to question the truth.
When Gabriel Savard is rushed to a Montreal hospital in the middle of the night, his family’s world collapses, and suspicion falls on his father, Mario, a man already shadowed by a troubled past. The testimony of a respected pathologist seals his conviction and silences doubt. Years later, Dr. Amélie Nadeau, a forensic pathology fellow, begins reexamining historic cases with the help of artificial intelligence. The Savard file resurfaces, and with it, disturbing questions about the evidence that condemned Mario.
As Amélie pursues the truth, she uncovers cracks in a justice system built on certainty at any cost. The closer she gets, the greater the resistance from mentors, institutions, and authorities determined to protect their reputations and their power.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"[...] The author’s skillful prose, thought-provoking observations, and vivid descriptions will keep readers invested in the story. [...] A well-crafted crime story and meditation on ethics, technology, and human fallibility." - Kirkus Reviews
"A swirling and fast-paced medico-legal mystery where judgment and justice collide [...] This would make a wonderful mystery book club selection with plenty of ideas to fuel thoughtful conversations about right and wrong and the sacrifices that pursuing the truth may require. It’s smooth reading and has enough dramatic pacing to keep the pages turning quickly, and Brutus’s down-to-earth writing style is generous in making advanced concepts accessible." - Independent Book Review
"More Likely Than Not by J.P. Brutus was a complicated read that hooked me from the first page until the end. [...] The book was brilliantly written, and I had a hard time putting it down. I enjoyed reading the book and still replay certain pages in my head." - Reader's Favorite
