Red Mass By
Rosemary Aubert 
 
Red Mass is the fifth and concluding episode in the priz-winninng Ellis Portal mystery series. The series' unusal sleuth is a disgraced former Toronto judge who has made a comeback and, in this novel, is readmitted to the practice of law. But within moments of that ceremony, Ellis watches in horror as his former law classmate and enemy, Supreme Court Justice John Stoughton- Melville, is led off in handcuffs, charged with murder.
