June 22nd, 2026
The third novel of West Vancouver’s John D’Eathe, Broadway Corridor: The Great Social Divide (Adagio Media $21.99), is set in the not‑so‑distant future of Vancouver’s Broadway Corridor, which has become a symbol of technological progress and a stage for deep social division. High‑speed rail and lavish glass towers dominate the skyline—but behind the gleaming façades lies an unseen world of financial inequality, clandestine medical services and rising unrest. Maddie, a brilliant but conflicted surgeon, is drawn into the Corridor’s underground “Medical Police” when she discovers an illegal private clinic run by wealthy elites. Torn between duty and conscience, she forms a bond with Ivern, the principled, justice‑driven police chief tasked with restoring order. As protest simmers into violent resistance, Maddie must choose: maintain her hidden life or stand against the oppressive systems she once served. The book explores themes of gentrification, urban planning, healthcare access and the human costs behind financial ambition. 9780991993079
