About the Book

When environmental warrior Ira Connaught turns up hanging by the neck from an ancient rainforest cedar overlooking the wasteland of a clear-cut on Clayoquot Sound, everyone seems content to declare his death a suicide. The tree spiker won't be missed by loggers, Tofino's RCMP detachment, or by many environmentalists who applauded his goals but condemned his tactics.

For reluctant community coroner Elias McCann, Ira's death looks increasingly like a murder. Elias is no forensic pathologist, no doctor. A quirk in BC law enables anyone of good community standing to be appointed local coroner. But RCMP Sergeant Gary Danchuk does not believe that Elias meets even the quirk in the law. Danchuk remains convinced - against all evidence - that McCann murdered his wife, Merriam, two years earlier in order to clear the way for his love affair with Vhanna Chan.

"Hands Like Clouds" is the first in a series of mysteries revolving around the troubled life of Elias McCann, son of a remittance man and local coroner.-When an environmental warrior is found hanging by the neck, everyone declares the death a suicide everyone but coroner Elias McCann.-Overall the novel combines mystery, murder, romance, politics (both local and international), and social issues in a lively manner. The style is snappy and the setting is hard to beat...I look forward to the next instalment in what may become a series of adventures for Elias McCann and the inhabitants of Tofino.-[Zeuhlke's] protagonist in Hands like Clouds is one of the most original I've ever encountered in crime fiction... [This is] one of the better mysteries to come out of British Columbia, or Canada, in many years.-Mark Zeuhlke has a promising future as a mystery writer, if his first novel Hands like Clouds is anything by which to judge.-A very Canadian mystery with a uniquely Canadian protagonist.-In addition to reader interest in the troubled detective figure, the novel has the added asset of being quintessentially Canadian. References to our country s history and current issues abound...The cast of characters reflects the Canadian mosaic."
