Par Glen Huser. 2014
When Carolina Giddle moves into the Blatchford Arms, no one knows what to make of her sequin-sprinkled sneakers and her…
trinket-crusted car. But the parents are happy there’s a new babysitter around, and Carolina seems to have an uncanny ability to calm the most rambunctious child with her ghostly stories. Armed with unusual snacks (bone-shaped peppermints, Rumpelstiltskin sandwiches) and candles to set the mood, she entertains the children with good old-fashioned storytelling and, at the end, a great Halloween party. It turns out that Carolina has a timeworn connection to the Blatchford Arms, and to the ghost who still haunts the building - especially its old-fashioned elevator.

news section run the only way self-taught journalists know how--sloppily. Alex and Tracy are two of The Peak's editors, staring down graduation and struggling to keep the paper relevant to an increasingly indifferent student body. But trouble looms large when a big-money free daily comes to the west-coast campus, threatening to swallow what remains of their readership whole. It'll take the scoop of a lifetime to save their beloved campus rag. An exposé about the mysterious filmed-on-campus viral video? Some good old-fashioned libel? Or what about that fallen Hollywood star, the one who's just announced he's returning to Simon Fraser University to finish his degree? 2013.The crimes of Hector Tomás

Par Camilla Grudova. 2017
Short stories from an unholy marriage of Angela Carter, Sheila Heti, and H. P. Lovecraft. Dolls, sewing machines, tinned foods,…
mirrors, malfunctioning bodies - by constantly reinventing ways to engage with her obsessions and motifs, Grudova has built a universe that's highly imaginative, incredibly original, and absolutely discomfiting. The stories are simultaneously childlike and naive, grotesque and very dark. 2017. Uniform title: Short stories.The city still breathing
Par Matthew Heiti. 2013
A body is found on the side of a highway. Naked, throat slashed, no identification. It disappears from the back…
of a police van and begins a strange odyssey, making its way, over the course of one early winter night, all around the northern town of Sudbury and through the lives and dreams of eleven very different people.

Par Clem Martini. 2018
Titus Maccius Plautus' career is on the decline. Once famous for bringing Greek comedies to the Roman world, now he…
struggles to stage a single play. Unlucky with money and unlucky in love, Plautus faces the world with wry dignity. This could be the performance that returns fortune and reputation, or the one that ends it all. Engaging, thoughtful, and funny, "The Comedian" dives into the rough and tumble world of arts in its infancy. Martini draws on his experience to bring to life the signs and sounds of a world where playwrights suffered and succeeded - but mostly suffered. 2018.The cutting edge: a Lincoln Rhyme novel (Lincoln Rhyme novel. #14.)

Par C. J Box. 2018
Wyoming's new governor isn't sure what to make of Joe Pickett, but he has a job for him that is…
extremely delicate. A prominent female British executive never came home from the high-end guest ranch she was visiting, and the British Embassy is pressing hard. Pickett knows that happens sometimes--these ranches are stocked with handsome young cowboys, and "ranch romances" aren't uncommon. But no sign of her months after she vanished? That suggests something else. At the same time, his friend Nate Romanowski has asked Joe to intervene with the feds on behalf of falconers who can no longer hunt with eagles even though their permits are in order. Who is blocking the falconers and why? The more he investigates both cases, the more someone wants him to go away. Is it because of the missing woman or because he's become Nate's advocate? Or are they somehow connected? The answers, when they come, will be even worse than he'd imagined. Bestseller. 2018.The Damascus cover

On her way home from a grocery shopping trip, Nina Borg is attacked from behind in a parking lot. Dazed…
and half-conscious, she hears her assailant ask for her forgiveness. Only later does she understand that this isn't for what he's just done, but for what he plans to do to. As a Red Cross nurse, Nina typically finds herself fighting for others' lives, not her own. For the first time, she's the primary target of a hit, and it slowly dawns on her that this case is connected to a surprising and dangerous friendship among three young men from Manila. It's a long way from Viborg to Manila, and yet Nina and her pursuer face the same dilemma: How far will they go to save themselves? 2016. Uniform title: Betænksomme morder.The devil's detective: a novel (RB mystery)
Par Simon Kurt Unsworth. 2016
Thomas Fool is an Information Man, an investigator tasked with cataloging and filing reports on the endless stream of violence…
and brutality that flows through Hell. His job holds no reward or satisfaction, because Hell has rules but no justice. Each new crime is stamped "Do Not Investigate" and dutifully filed away in the depths of the Bureaucracy. But when an important political delegation arrives and a human is found murdered in a horrific manner--extravagant even by Hell's standards--everything changes. The murders escalate, and their severity points to the kind of killer not seen for many generations. Something is challenging the rules and order of Hell, so the Bureaucracy sends Fool to identify and track down the killer. But how do you investigate murder in a place where death is common currency? Or when your main suspect pool is a legion of demons? With no memory of his past and only an irresistible need for justice, Fool will piece together clues and follow a trail that leads directly into the heart of a dark and chaotic conspiracy. A revolution is brewing in Hell--and nothing is what it seems. 2016.The Damascus way (Acts of faith (Recorded Books, LLC) #3.)

Par Brad Taylor. 2014
