  Ashes and Evidence .A Fourteen year-old Angela Bello was a bright, spirited girl with dreams of becoming a journalist until her life was cut short in the most horrific way. One summer afternoon, Angela vanished on her way home from school, leaving behind only a torn backpack and unanswered questions. Days later, her lifeless body was discovered in a river on the outskirts of town violated, murdered, and discarded like a secret meant to stay hidden. 
  As the small community reels from the shock, a determined female detective, Ijeoma Okoro, refuses to let Angela become just another cold case. Haunted by her own childhood trauma, Ijeoma pushes through corrupt systems, apathetic officials, and a town that would rather forget than face the ugly truth. Every clue she uncovers points toward a chilling web of power, privilege, and silence. 
   But the deeper she digs, the more dangerous the trail becomes. Someone is watching. Someone wants the past buried. As Ijeoma races against time to bring Angela’s killer to justice, she must confront not only a brutal crime but a society that protects predators and punishes victims. 
  Ashes and Evidence is a harrowing yet powerful story of loss, truth, and the fight for justice in a world where too many voices are silenced.

  The story revolves around a portrait of Dorian Gray by Basil Hallward, an artist impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic worldview: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life. Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied amoral experiences while staying young and beautiful; all the while, his portrait ages and records every one of Dorian's sins.

  A Haunting WWII Novel Inspired by Actual Events 
  Spanning Nazi-occupied Lithuania, Soviet labor camps, and the refugee corridors of wartime Europe, From Malice to Ashes follows three families torn apart by two brutal regimes. 
  Olek Kosmen, a young Jewish man hiding in a forest cabin, becomes an unwitting chronicler to one of the Holocaust’s earliest massacres in Lithuania’s Ponary Forest. Eventually captured, Olek is forced into the Nazi “Burning Brigade,” a unit of 80 men tasked with exhuming and incinerating the bodies of Ponary’s victims to erase the evidence. Knowing they’ll be executed once they finish their grisly job, the prisoners’ only hope for survival lies in an audacious escape tunnel they are digging with their bare hands. As SS soldiers push them to complete the gruesome task and Soviet forces close in, the race to finish the tunnel tests the prisoners’ will to survive beyond human limits. 
  Meanwhile, Olek’s fiancée flees to neutral Sweden, while her parents are deported to Siberia, where they must survive one of Stalin’s harshest labor colonies. Their fates converge in a sweeping, true-to-history story of resistance, survival, and the will to reclaim family and truth. 
  From Malice to Ashes offers a powerful and meticulously researched portrait of moral courage amid unimaginable horror. For readers of Mark Sullivan and Kristin Hannah, this compelling and ultimately redemptive novel sheds light on a largely forgotten chapter of Holocaust history.
