Sinopsis

A bookseller's love affair, start to finish, against the backdrop of a city in protest.
  It's 1971. Hal Sachs runs a used bookstore. Business isn't so great, and the store is in a part of Toronto that's about to be paved over with a behemoth expressway. And then Hal meets Lily Klein, an activist schoolteacher who'll do just about anything to stop the highway. It's love at first sight. Until it isn't. And then Hal vanishes.
  
  A half-century later, Hal's nephew, Aitch, waits for his baby to be born as he tries to piece together facts and fictions about Hal's disappearance.
  
   Splitsville  is a diamond-cut love letter to a city whose defining moment was to say 'no way' to a highway, and a look at the obsessions that carry down through a family.

    Police investigators Pete Culnane and Martin Tierney are as different as parchment and newsprint, and Martin’s insecurities are fed by Pete’s expertise and finesse. A homeless man wearing an eye-popping diamond ring is as inexplicable to both of them as the disappearance of the two boys who reported his body on St. Paul’s Upper Landing. Blinded by the Sight demonstrates how good intentions can go awry, resulting in unintended, life-altering predicaments.

    I've been marked for death, but these dragons are determined to set me free. 
     
     
     
    All shifters are cursed, but me more than anyone. With barely any abilities to speak of, staying two steps ahead of the monster stalking my every move has been nearly impossible. But a freak robbery that goes awry brings my life on the run crashing to a bloody halt. 
     
     
     
    I need to run again, but my escape from the hospital is complicated by a doctor with eerily colored eyes that see far more than I want him to. He and his friends have decided I'm theirs to protect, want me to believe I'm safe with them, but I know the truth. 
     
     
     
    I will never be safe. Not when freedom comes at a price I'm not willing to pay. 
     
     
     
    Mark-mates are supposed to be someone's missing piece, but somehow my jagged edges fit into three different puzzles. Trading one captor for three is out of the question, yet my stalker won't turn a blind eye to Stone, Kodiak, and Raiden. Not when they'll shatter his delusions that I'm fated to be his. 
     
     
     
    They're everything that he's always feared, and I don't think even I'll escape his wrath this time. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
