Description

Sunday's Child launched Edward O. Phillips' writing career and established the figure of Geoffry Chadwick in Canadian literature. An ill-conceived pick-up of a hustler on new Year's Eve and a moment of fury lead to grave consequences, forcing Chadwick to maintain a brittle veneer of normalcy while he conducts seriously unpleasant business.
