Small Acts of Mercy

Emma Salisbury

Everyone deserves a second chance. But some scars never fade. 
 
For almost two decades, Mercy Reid has lived behind the walls of Fairmile Prison, serving time for murder. But she's not your typical inmate—she mentors new arrivals, comforts the lost, and tries to make sense of her past crimes. 
 
When she learns that her sister is terminally ill, and her brother is struggling to hold their family together, Mercy knows this is her final chance at parole. But before she can walk free, she must prove she's no longer a danger—to others, or to herself. 
 
But starting over isn't the same as being free. The women she's hell bent on saving are still haunted by their struggles, and Mercy soon realizes that doing good isn't always enough to keep the darkness away. To truly move forward, she'll have to confront all the ghosts of her past. 
 
Perfect for fans of Jane Cory and Kia Abdullah, Small Acts of Mercy is a haunting and redemptive crime thriller about guilt, sisterhood, and how far we'll go to protect the ones we love.

Ghachar Ghochar

Vivek Shanbhag

A young man's close-knit family is nearly destitute when his uncle founds a successful spice company, changing their fortunes overnight. As they move from a cramped, ant-infested shack to a larger house on the other side of Bangalore, and try to adjust to a new way of life, the family dynamic begins to shift. Allegiances realign; marriages are arranged and begin to falter; and conflict brews ominously in the background. Things become "ghachar ghochar"—a nonsense phrase uttered by one meaning something tangled beyond repair, a knot that can't be untied.

Elegantly written and punctuated by moments of unexpected warmth and humor, Ghachar Ghochar is a quietly enthralling, deeply unsettling novel about the shifting meanings—and consequences—of financial gain in contemporary India.

Ghachar Ghochar was included by The New York Times in their listing of the best books of 2017 and it was nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the International Dublin Literary Award.

Agatha Christie

When Mr. Satterthwaite visits a new exhibit at the Harchester Galleries, there is one painting that bears an unusual likeness to a mysterious acquaintance of his, Mr. Quin. In one bold move he purchases the canvas on the spot, and in another invites the artist of “The Dead Harlequin” to dine with him that night, with an empty place at the table set for Mr. Quin. Dinner conversation soon turns to the setting of “The Dead Harlequin,” the doomed and ghostly house Charnley, where many have perished under tragic circumstances. But when a new guest is announced, it is not Mr. Quin but famed comic stage actress Aspasia Glen, who demands that she be given that very painting. Then comes a frantic telephone call from Alix Charnley herself, and Alix has the same request. What is the meaning of the painting, and can it shed any light upon the happenings at Charnley?
