Mark Lisac, originally from Hamilton, worked as a journalist in Saskatchewan for five years. He began writing about Alberta politics in 1979 as a reporter for The Canadian Press and then as a columnist for The Edmonton Journal. From 2005 to 2013, he was publisher and editor of the independent political newsletter Insight into Government. He published The Klein Revolution in 1995 and Alberta Politics Uncovered in 2004. He also contributed a chapter to Alberta Premiers of the Twentieth Century and edited Lois Hole Speaks. Where the Bodies Lie is his first novel.

Praise for Where the Bodies Lie:

Where the Bodies Lie is brutal, stark, evocative, and dangerously honest—just like the land it’s set in. Lisac’s vivid novel manoeuvres the reader along back roads where truth lives and legends die.”
~ Garry Ryan, author of the Detective Lane mysteries

“Mark Lisac has written a first class thriller with a sense of realism that will leave you breathless and looking over your shoulder. Rooted in a deep understanding of politics, friendship, ambition, and grief, Where the Bodies Lie has the immediacy of true crime. A great yarn, well spun.”
~ Terry Fallis, author of Poles Apart and The Best Laid Plans

"What’s remarkable about this novel is how brilliantly Lisac moves from political writing to fiction. His smooth prose and fine pacing make it a pleasure to read."
~ Margaret Cannon, The Globe and Mail

"Why you're going to love it: Intriguingly, Lisac has been writing about the politics of a certain oil-rich Canadian province just east of the Rockies since 1979. Parts of this novel are guaranteed to ring true."
~ Kerry Clare, 49th Shelf

"Lisac’s backdrop may be the political scene, but his story is in the heart of his main characters, their flaws and aspirations. He is an elegant and efficient writer and sets lovely scenes and characters, creating a murder mystery with twists and engaging characters."
~ Samantha Power, Vue Weekly

"Where the Bodies Lie seems to carve its own genre. The mystery is always present, but . . . reads as a man living his life while peeling back hidden truths and unexplored layers of politics and friendships that are more complicated than they appear."
~ Jessica McIntosh, Fort McMurray Today

"A good read . . ."
~ Nick Martin, Winnipeg Free Press

"Political junkies will devour this book . . ."
~ Matthew Stepanic, Where Magazine

". . .a must-read for political watchers in Alberta."
~ Dave Cournoyer
