[PW] Robertson Davies' would-be next book (No rush)

I've been rereading Robertson Davies' novels recently, and spent a  
fair amount of time rummaging through my bookshelves for the sequel  
to "Murther and Walking Spirits" and "The Cunning Man" until I  
remembered that there wasn't one. I have read online -- at http:// 
www.amk.ca/davies/ -- that at the time of his death, Mr. Davies was  
planning out a third novel in that sequence. Idle curiosity prompts  
me to ask: what, if anything, is known about this third book?

I have tried a few searches on Google, and checked my local library.  
There's no big rush -- not only is this entirely a whimsical  
question, but it is possible I could get the biography through  
interlibrary loan, and that it would answer the question. (Slightly  
doubtful that the information would be there, since Davies died at  
the end of the year that the book was published, but possible.) I'm  
just asking in case anyone knows without checking.
