Hail Mary

A spectacular debut. Urso’s deft story crafting and rich sense of place are mesmerizing. A book you’ll devour and then wish you could read all over again. – Tamara L. Miller, author of Into the Fall and The Weight of Glass


A bloody portrait of generational female rage and revenge. With snappy dialogue and elegant prose, Urso has created a propulsive thriller that’s as haunting as it is suspenseful, and will linger like a ghost long after you finish the final page. – De Elizabeth, author of She Haunts Me Still


Gripping and deeply atmospheric, Elizabeth Urso’s debut HAIL MARY, follows Mary Foreman, as she’s dragged back to her small hometown to face the plague of long-standing rumours, deeply-buried family secrets, and the burden of generational trauma (plus a few vengeful nuns, and a ghost or two haunting her family’s ancient funeral home). This rhythmic, mystery-filled gothic horror, is engaging, witty, and oh-so-perfectly gruesome. – Ashley Tate, bestselling author of Twenty-Seven Minutes


Prepare to be enraptured by a compelling mystery and the macabre. This is a story that’ll keep you up late into the night wondering if ghosts have the ability to leap from the page. – Elora Cook, author of In the Company of Killers

Elizabeth Urso is a graduate of Laurentian University, the University of New Brunswick Faculty of Law, and the Humber School for Writers. She’s a practising lawyer who lives wherever her partner—an Infantry Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces—is posted, along with their dog Harriet (the Spy).
