A disturbing tale of identity and deception set in 1950s Toronto. That
Rafe Jonason's life didn't end when he smashed up his car was something
of a miracle; on that everyone agreed. However, the devoted husband and
pillar of the community emerges from hospital a very different man.
Coarse and intolerant, this new Rafe drinks away his days, showing no
interest in returning to work. Worst of all, he doesn't appear to
recognize or so much as remember his loving wife Julie. Tension and
suspicion within the couple's Rosedale mansion grow after it is learned
that Rafe wasn't alone in the car that night. Is it that Julie never
truly knew her husband? Or might it be that this man isn't Rafe Jonason
at all? Originally published in 1956 by Doubleday, The Keys of My Prison
is one of several suspense novels Wees set in Toronto. This Ricochet
Books edition marks its return to print after fifty years.
