  The 18th installment of the bestselling Joanne Kilbourn series from the “queen of Canadian crime fiction” (Winnipeg Free Press). 
  When, at the age of sixty, Joanne learns that Douglas Ellard, the reserved general practitioner whom she had grown up believing to be her father was, in fact, the best friend of her biological father, the brilliant visual artist Desmond Love, she begins to question not just who she is but what factors play a role in shaping all of us and in making us who we really are. Joanne is offered the chance to revisit her family history, when writer Roy Brodnitz, author of The Happiest Girl, a Broadway mega-hit inspired by a Desmond Love painting, approaches her with the idea of making a mini-series about the close relationship between the Ellard and Love families. Brodnitz is in town working on the film adaptation of his Broadway hit, and he and his film company soon become a significant presence in the life of Joanne’s family, with results that are both life-changing and menacing. When Joanne and Zack’s eighteen-year-old daughter, Taylor Shreve, develops a close friendship with the seventeen-year-old actress starring in the movie, the Shreve family is exposed to the dark side of the film industry and they uncover disturbing truths about the handsome and talented people they have invited into their lives. A Darkness of the Heart explores the ways in which clear vision, generosity of spirit, and a willingness to love can combat the forces in our world that seek to encroach upon innocence. Once again, Gail Bowen’s powerful storytelling, engaging characters, and page-turning plot reaffirm her place as one of the finest mystery writers around.

  In just five days, a rural college town in California is rocked by two sets of brutal double murders. When another set of bodies is found, Paul Madriani, special prosecutor, must find the killer— quickly. Physical and trace evidence lead to the arraignment of a college security guard on multiple charges of murder. While the evidence linking the suspect to the first four killings is solid, something is glaringly different with the last two, and Madriani slowly begins to realize there is another killer in their midst. It is only during the trial— when he is fighting for both the conviction of one killer and the identity of another— that Madriani discovers shocking answers that go far deeper than anyone could have imagined.

  One of the best political/military/black ops thriller for over a decade. Stingers used to assassinate the US Ambassador of Mexico… Quick scene changes, tension rising with each chapter, lots of strings slowly released being tied, pulled, and then twisted until-BOOM! … then even louder booms - as the plot points are resolved and the bad guys, most of them, get their righteous due. Fortin is a master of brevity with a spot-on wit.

  Is it a social experiment, a prison, or a tool for driving one man mad? 
  The dome city is all those things. For Ef and his followers in City of England, it’s a kind of laboratory, a place to test Ef’s theories about how to give humanity a new way forward. For the founders of the Happiness-Program, awakened from stasis, the dome city is a prison where they are fed bizarre lies about the state of the world. For Iris, the dome city is the perfect opportunity to take revenge on the man who assaulted her, distorting his perception of reality until he cracks under the strain. 
  For Owena and Pickle, the dome city is a curiosity at most. Owena’s childhood was stolen from her, and now she intends to take it back – one bad movie and bag of popcorn at a time.
