    When prominent defense attorney Marcus Halloway is found murdered in his study, the irony isn’t lost on anyone—he made his career saving guilty men with airtight alibis. But now, every one of his former clients is a suspect, and each of them swears they were nowhere near him the night he died. 
    Detective Clara Jennings is called to the case, but the deeper she digs, the murkier it becomes. Marcus kept secrets: hidden files, hushed meetings, and an alibi of his own that doesn’t quite add up. With enemies on both sides of the law, the question isn’t who wanted him dead—it’s who got to him first. 
    As time runs out and the web of lies grows tighter, Clara must untangle a puzzle where every suspect has a story, every story has a flaw, and the truth might be the deadliest alibi of all. 
    The Last Alibi is a taut, twist-filled murder mystery where justice and deception are two sides of the same coin.

    Arthur Ellis award–winning William Deverell’s 2003 bestseller
    		 
    In Mind Games, William Deverell returns to the intriguing territory of the law and lawyers and of human psychology and motivation, and he does so in familiar Deverell sur­roundings: the streets, courtrooms, and waters of Vancouver.
    		 
    Dr. Tim Dare is a forensic psychiatrist whose life is in a mess: his wife has just left him to find herself; his mother is being sued for libel by a small-town mayor over a mystery novel; he’s been made the monitor of a man just out of psychiatric hospital, a man he considers a psychopathic murderer; he’s being hauled before a disciplinary committee for “misplacing” a file; one of his patients is “transferring” feelings to him rather too romantically; and now someone’s threatening to kill him. He can’t even get into an elevator without falling apart. No wonder he thinks he needs to see a shrink himself. Under the guidance of fellow psychiatrist Dr. Allison Epstein, Dare gradually learns how to face the demons within — and those in the real world that are really out to get him.

    Sam Green is an art student with some pretty creative habits when it comes to solving mysteries, in this new series from author and artist Sarah Vernon. Perfect for fans of Mia P. Manansala, Rob Osler and Abby Collette. 
    It’s the coldest part of a Boston winter when her friend Catherine is found dead in the painting studios one evening. The police are quick to rule her death a suicide, but Sam knows that something doesn’t seem right. Despite the protests of her friends Rebecca and Stephanie (although — happily — with the help of her crush Arun), Sam starts to poke around the old art department building. Peering into the dark corners of studios and underneath piles of musty art supplies, Sam soon uncovers some surprising suspects and motives behind Catherine’s death, in an art department simmering with artistic jealousy, resentment, and more relationship drama than a daytime talk show could handle. 
    The only question is, will Sam be able to find out who killed Catherine before that person finds Sam?
