Inger Ash Wolfe0.0 Michael Redhill's new Hazel Micallef mystery, written under the pen name of Inger Ash Wolfe, is his strongest yet. For readers of crime fiction who enjoy such writers as Giles Blunt, Linwood Barclay, Lee Child, Louise Penny, Peter Robinson.
The fourth novel in this acclaimed series is brilliantly paced, addictively suspenseful--the author's best yet. Hazel Micallef (played by Suzanne Sarandon in the recent film of the series' debut, The Calling) has become one of crime writing's most memorable detectives. Port Dundas, Ontario, is portrayed vividly in the series as the quintessential Canadian town. The Night Bell moves between the past and the present, as two mysteries converge. A discovery of the bones of murdered children is made on land that was once a county foster home. Now it's being developed as a brand new subdivision whose first residents are already railing against broken promises and corruption. But when three of their number are murdered after the find, their frustration turns to terror. While trying to stem the panic and solve two crimes at once, Hazel finds her memory stirred back to the fall of 1959, when the disappearance of a girl from town was blamed on her adopted brother. Although he is long dead, she begins to see the present case as a chance to clear her brother's name, something that drives Hazel beyond her own considerable limits and right into the sights of an angry killer.
Аусма Зеханат Хан0.0 A complex and provocative story of loss, redemption, and the cost of justice that will linger with readers long after turning the final page.
Despite their many differences, Detective Rachel Getty trusts her boss, Esa Khattak, implicitly. But she's still uneasy at Khattak's tight-lipped secrecy when he asks her to look into Christopher Drayton's death. Drayton's apparently accidental fall from a cliff doesn't seem to warrant a police investigation, particularly not from Rachel and Khattak's team, which handles minority-sensitive cases. But when she learns that Drayton may have been living under an assumed name, Rachel begins to understand why Khattak is tip-toeing around this case. It soon comes to light that Drayton may have been a war criminal with ties to the Srebrenica massacre of 1995.
If that's true, any number of people might have had reason to help Drayton to his death, and a murder investigation could have far-reaching ripples throughout the community. But as Rachel and Khattak dig deeper into the life and death of Christopher Drayton, every question seems to lead only to more questions, with no easy answers. Had the specters of Srebrenica returned to haunt Drayton at the end, or had he been keeping secrets of an entirely different nature? Or, after all, did a man just fall to his death from the Bluffs?
In her spellbinding debut, Ausma Zehanat Khan has written a complex and provocative story of loss, redemption, and the cost of justice that will linger with readers long after turning the final page.

Жан-Луи Флери0.0 Deux jours après un passage remarqué à l'émission Tout le monde en parle, René Kahn, professeur à la Sorbonne et spécialiste de l'oeuvre du célèbre auteur Louis-Ferdinand Céline, a trouvé la mort au Crique-à-la-Roche, à une quinzaine de kilomètres de Ripon, dans l'Outaouais. De fait, c'est dans les restes calcinés d'une voiture volée au village que le cadavre de celui qui cherchait des preuves de l'accointance de Céline avec l'extrême droite québécoise pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale a été formellement identifié. Que s'est-il donc passé pour que le professeur Kahn périsse de manière aussi tragique ? C'est Aglaé Boisjoli, docteure en psychologie et capitaine aux Projets spéciaux de la Sûreté du Québec, qui a été chargée de l'enquête. Mais ce qu'elle croyait être un banal - quoique sordide - meurtre se transforme rapidement en une troublante affaire ayant des ramifications politiques, et dont la moindre des révélations n'est pas l'identité du mystérieux personnage aperçu près de la voiture incendiée. Or, si Aglaé a été surprise par ses découvertes, c'est l'indignation qui l'a submergée quand ses supérieurs lui ont mis des bâtons dans les roues afin d'étouffer l'affaire. C'est pourquoi elle leur a transmis une lettre de démission... qui a été refusée ! Choquée par ce refus, Aglaé a rédigé un rapport afin de justifier sa décision. Ce rapport, qui relate l'enquête point par point et avec preuves à l'appui, vous le tenez en main, et sachez que personne n'y est épargné, surtout pas les supérieurs d'Aglaé Boisjoli !
