Labyrinth of the Mind: Reflections of the Past: Volume 2

By Élodie Noir

An open door lets things through in both directions.

Six weeks after closing the Saint-Vincent case, Inspector Julien Morel has settled into a strange new ritual: every Friday night, he drives north to a vacant psychiatric asylum, descends into a cavern beneath it, and keeps a door open - for a missing man who promised he'd come back, and for whatever else might be listening on the other side.

Then Th odore Gagnon returns.

He's lucid. He's calm. And he isn't alone.

Something came back with him - an echo of the world beyond the passage, one that's already starting to wake up an entirely different convergence point hidden beneath the oldest stones of Old Montreal. A restaurant basement. A bank vault dating to 1672. A network of doors the city's first French colonists may have learned about from an Algonquin elder centuries before anyone called it psychiatry, archaeology, or madness.

As ordinary Montrealers start losing hours of their lives to dissociative episodes they can't explain, Morel and his partner Vincent Beaupr have to decide how far they're willing to go to keep a passage stable - and what it means when the layer beneath the city doesn't just tolerate a keeper, but chooses one. Someone whose whole life, it turns out, has been quietly pointing toward a door he never knew was there.
