Dying By Degrees - Eileen Coughlan

Dying By Degrees

By Eileen Coughlan

Ravenstone

Emily Goodstriker and her friend Zac are working toward their masters degrees in psychology by conducting panic experiments on local street people... under the guidance of the brilliant but tyrannical Dr. Martin Mullarcant. After the annual graduate Christmas party, Emily's lab partner, Beth Wong, takes a dive out of a ten-story window. Emily is not convinced her friend committed suicide and takes it upon herself to find out what's really behind Beth's death. She continues Beth's work in Mullarcant's experiments but something is going drastically wrong.



Dying by Degrees was short-listed for an Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel in 2001.

Copies of this title were handed out at Bloody Words 2011 with funding support from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.
