Ellis Portal Mysteries (Book 1)

Free reign

by Rosemary Aubert

Ellis Portal had once been an esteemed judge. Now, he lives as a vagrant in the wilderness that runs through the heart of Toronto. One day, while working in his garden, he unearths a severed hand—a hand that wears a ring Ellis recognizes. Thirty years ago, on the day he became a lawyer, he and four of his companions had sealed a pact with just such a ring. Now Ellis begins a search for the victim’s identity, returning to world that had cast him out years ago—a world far more dangerous than the one he left behind
