  The Highway of Tears series, is inspired by true events. Official reports state that nineteen girls have vanished from the Highway of Tears in British Columbia, Canada, since the first young victim disappeared in 1969 from a motel bar at Williams Lake. Jack Malchenko, a retired detective with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Prince Rupert, believes the total could be over one hundred. It drives Jack to keep searching the secluded logging trails for any evidence that might help give closure to the families, who have lost their loved ones. With growing health concerns and loving pressure from his wife, Angela, who wants to spend their golden years together without police work getting in the way, Jack finally agrees to turn over all of his files to his old partner, Sam. Everything changes though when Rayne McRae, a beautiful high school girl from the Moricetown Reserve, goes missing and her life is put up for a live online auction. The public cannot turn away from this sensational crime as they vote for her salvation. They fixate on Rayne's coral-green eyes, along with the tantalizing video feed, as Rayne struggles for dignity. As her life hangs in the balance, many from around the world, want to see her death. As Jack is pulled into this new mystery, a Cease and Desist order arrives from his former station, warning him not to investigate anything else highway-related. With his future and marriage on the line, Jack knows that if he wants to catch the killer, he will have to trust his estranged father, Taima White Elk of the Kyuquot band for help. Fearing that Taima will only let him down again, Jack struggles with a decision, until realizing there are hidden clues in the disturbing video of Rayne's murder auction. They all connect back to the case he barely survived; Willie Pickton’s farm, the most notorious serial killer in Canada’s history. Jack's past nightmares were haunting him again.

  The Hidden Hand - Capitola the...

  When we first meet sharp and witty Capitola she is living among beggars and street urchins, and dressed as a boy because a boy can get work and be safe, whereas a girl is left to starve for want of "proper" employment. Unknown to her, Capitola has a very rich elderly guardian who finds her at a providential moment and takes her back to his palatial mansion where she finds herself "decomposing above ground for want of having my blood stirred."  
  But not to fear. There are bandits, true-loves, evil men, long-lost mothers, and sweet women friends in Capitola's future - not to mention thunder storms, kidnap attempts, and duels. The pace is fast, the action wonderfully unbelievable. This is escape literature at its nineteenth-century best, with a woman at its center who makes you feel strong, daring, and reckless.  
  Here's what people had to say about the book:  
  It is really stunning to encounter such a high-spirited and defiantly independent female character in a novel written over 150 years ago, and, more importantly, is allowed to remain so from the first moment we meet her (disguised as a boy on the mean streets of New York City) to when her remarkable story neatly concludes on the last novel's last page. 
  A fascinating mystery/drama set in the 1800's. 
  Everyone should read this hidden gem. 
  Among my daughters' this is a unanimous favorite. Young Capitola is a feisty spitfire of a girl who would rather face danger than avoid it. In many ways, she has the spirit of another orphan girl, but demonstrates her boldness in far more serious, even perilous, situations. 
  This is by far my favorite book I’ve read to date!Absolutely love the story and characters. It’s fascinating to see how all the character’s backgrounds intertwine with one another. Definitely recommend to anyone and everyone!

  New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz returns with the first novel of the Lost Night Files, an exciting new romantic suspense trilogy about a night that changed three women forever—but that none of them can remember.  
   
  Seven months ago, Pallas Llewellyn, Talia March, and Amelia Rivers were strangers, until their fateful stay at the Lucent Springs Hotel. An earthquake and a fire partially destroyed the hotel, but the women have no memory of their time there. Now close friends, the three women co-host a podcast  
  called The Lost Night Files, where they investigate cold cases and hope to connect with others who may have had a similar experience to theirs—an experience that has somehow enhanced the psychic abilities already present in each woman.  
   
  After receiving a tip for their podcast, Pallas travels to the small college town of Carnelian, California, to explore an abandoned asylum. Shaken by the dark energy she feels in the building, she is rushing out when she’s stopped by a dark figure—who turns out to be the women’s mysterious tipster.  
   
  Ambrose Drake is certain he’s a witness to a murder, but without a body, everyone thinks he’s having delusions caused by extreme sleep deprivation. But Ambrose is positive something terrible happened at the Carnelian Sleep Institute the night he was there.  
   
  Unable to find proof on his own, he approaches Pallas for help, only for her to realize that Ambrose, too, has a lost night that he can’t remember—one that may be connected to Pallas. Pallas and Ambrose conduct their investigation using the podcast as a cover, and while the townsfolk are eager to share what  
  they know, there are others who are not so happy about their questions—and someone is willing to kill to keep the truth from coming out.

  Emma-Joy Ferris likes mall cop work, even though it's a bit more humdrum than the military policing she did in the army. But there's no time to be bored when someone 'liberates' a fifteen-foot python from the Herpetology Hut, and a mannequin turns out to be a very real corpse.
