Through the matter-of-fact occurrence of unlikely events, The Strange Book tells a story of growing up without abandoning the inner child.
Mon père détestait manger des pommes de terre non salées qu’il jugeait fades et sans goût. Comme lui, je reste sur mon appétit après une conversation superficielle et vide de sens. Pour mettre du piquant dans mes relations, j’ai dû y mettre de l’empathie, cette épice mystérieuse qui a le pouvoir de transformer ceux qui la maîtrisent.Dans ce livre, je vulgarise d’abord la théorie de la communication, puis je raconte des moments magiques où l’empathie a fait son œuvre dans ma vie et dans ma carrière. Enfin, je présente des recettes éprouvées pour se préparer à parler et à écouter avec cœur, authenticité et empathie. Ces compétences exigent des efforts de préparation, de concentration et d’ouverture vers l’autre, mais elles rapportent au-delà de toute espérance chez ceux qui les pratiquent et les maîtrisent. Après tout, pour être savoureuse, la patate a besoin de sel tout comme la communication a besoin d’empathie pour rehausser son goût. C’est magique!Mme Ruth Vachon, présidente et directrice générale du Réseau des femmes d’affaires du Québec signe la préface de ce livre.

In this, the third in the series of Jim Danzig murder mysteries, the private investigator is instructed by the family of the late Stuart Brooksbank, a crooked solicitor whose affairs were under investigation by the Law Society. The police were satisfied that his death was a case of suicide, but the family (possibly influenced by the fact that this finding would invalidate the deceased’s life insurance policy) are not. Full investigation of Brooksbank’s affairs discloses some very unsavoury items including attempted murder, fraud and several adulteries, before matters culminate in another violent death. Despite the usual threats to his life, and a punch-up with one of the chief suspects, Danzig ultimately succeeds in bringing the culprit to justice. Third in a series of modern murder mysteries starring Jim Danzig, a private eye operating in a medium-sized town in the English Midlands. Approximately 60,000 words.
