Sinopsis

Everybody thought brilliant Cecily would leave dead-end Millers Falls for something better. But a two-decades-old tragedy locks her in place. Few understand the fierce bond that Cecily and Amelia share with Hilary, who was assaulted one summer as the two other girls watched helplessly. It's a bond of love and guilt…and a desire for vengeance that cuts clear to the bone.So Assistant DA Cecily Minos waits, eager to see the guy in her courtroom. When Amelia meets a man who has the tattoo the girls remember seeing that day, they think they've finally caught a break. But the police refuse to reopen the case, and it's up to Cecily and Amelia to pursue their suspect.Their investigation soon uncovers secrets best left buried. But the law is slow, and they've waited long enough for revenge…71,000 words

A place intentionally cut off, knowingly and purposely shunned in an attempt to erase that place from memory.It is important then, to ask not only ‘who’ abandoned such a place, but also ‘why?’Particularly because the word ‘abandoned’ often means more than its few syllables convey. Often it is used as a shield. A way to not tell a story. Either because it is an embarrassing topic or because it is a memory that a person or people have chosen to put behind them...

    This holiday spirit doesn’t want peace on Earth—just his gold. 
     
    When Sue convinces her husband to purchase a historic estate outside Branson, Missouri—rumored to hide a cache of lost gold—she ropes Ellen and Tanya into helping renovate the sprawling homestead over the Christmas holidays. But it doesn’t take long for the trio to realize the real estate agent left out some key details . . . like the ghostly mischief plaguing the property. 
     
    What starts as harmless holiday chaos soon turns dark. The sprite haunting the estate isn’t just mischievous—he’s menacing. And his message is clear: the treasure stays buried, and trespassers won’t be tolerated. 
     
    With Christmas looming and the hauntings escalating, Ellen, Tanya, and Sue must uncover the truth behind the legend before the spirit’s antics turn deadly. Is this mystery house a festive fixer-upper—or a trap best left untouched?

When Arthur Marsh drives away his devoted wife, Ida, with cruel words born of wounded pride, he seals a tragic fate neither can undo. Months of heart-wrenching loss follow until a mysterious telegram summons him to her deathbed — but it is too late. Or is it? What follows is an unforgettable encounter between the living and the dead, where the heart’s deepest yearnings clash with fear, guilt, and the chance for redemption lost. Nesbit’s masterful storytelling combines ghostly terror with profound emotional resonance, offering a chilling meditation on pride, forgiveness, and the love that death itself cannot silence.

    Shortlisted for the Atwood Gibson Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize
    		 
    Homage to Jean Genet’s antihero and a brilliant reimagining of the ancient form of tragedy, Querelle of Roberval, winner of the Marquis de Sade Prize, is a wildly imaginative story of justice, passion, and murderous revenge.
    		 
    As a millworkers’ strike in the northern lumber town of Roberval drags on, tensions start to escalate between the workers—but when a lockout renews their solidarity, they rally around the mysterious and magnetic influence of Querelle, a dashing newcomer from Montreal. Strapping and unabashed, likeable but callow, by day he walks the picket lines and at night moves like a mythic Adonis through the ranks of young men who flock to his apartment for sex. As the dispute hardens and both sides refuse to yield, sand stalls the gears of the economic machine and the tinderbox of class struggle and entitlement ignites in a firestorm of passions carnal and violent. Trenchant social drama, a tribute to Jean Genet’s antihero, and a brilliant reimagining of the ancient form of tragedy, Querelle of Roberval, winner of France’s Marquis de Sade Prize, is a wildly imaginative story of justice, passion, and murderous revenge.
