The Highest Mountain

the long version

All that State Police Sr. Investigator Dennis Girard wants to do is solve a smuggling case and then retire from a career that has recently been lackluster. Instead, he is killed by his quarry, and enters the world of near-death experiences. Eventually returned to duty, he must cope with visions, voices and spiritual experiences. Suddenly, the end of his career in 2008 is filled with a desperate attempt to catch devious strangers who, it appears, want to kill former President George H.W. Bush. Two explosive endings to a tale that spans Quebec and the northeastern U.S.A strong spiritual undercurrent.
