Victoria, 1869. The ramshackle capital of British Columbia, the last colony in North America. Vastly outnumbered by native Indians , a few thousand British, American, European, and Chinese settlers aspire to the values of the Victorian age. In the forest a mutilated body is discovered: Dr McCrory, an American alienist whose methods include phrenology, Mesmerism, and sexual-mystical magnetation . Chad Hobbes, arrived from England, is the policeman who must solve the crime. Could the murderer be a Tsimshian medicine man, Wiladzap, who is immediately arrested? But everyone who has known McCrory respectable or not has something to hide. This is a detective mystery and more. Victoria's inhabitants find themselves in a Garden of Eden but have to face the savagery which they readily see in the Indians but also exists in themselves. Darwin wrote that the difference between the savage and the civilised person is the difference between a wild and a tame animal. Is this true? Chad faces the question not only in the new territory in which he finds himself, but in himself and in those he comes to love.

Randle wants a fresh face to front his transactions. Tate desperately needs a mentor and yearns for respect. And money ...
Then there are the bikers, the muscle with the cross-border connections that Randle needs to bring his product to the American market. Soon Tate finds out that it's harder to get out of the business than to get in

A chilling psychological thriller about a marriage, a way of life, and how far one woman will go to keep what is rightfully hers
Jodi and Todd are at a bad place in their marriage. Much is at stake, including the affluent life they lead in their beautiful waterfront condo in Chicago, as she, the killer, and he, the victim, rush haplessly toward the main event. He is a committed cheater. She lives and breathes denial. He exists in dual worlds. She likes to settle scores. He decides to play for keeps. She has nothing left to lose. Told in alternating voices, The Silent Wife is about a marriage in the throes of dissolution, a couple headed for catastrophe, concessions that can’t be made, and promises that won’t be kept. Expertly plotted and reminiscent of Gone Girl and These Things Hidden, The Silent Wife ensnares the reader from page one and does not let go.

Moss Cole is a private detective, the kind you thought only existed in old movies and afternoon reruns. He's smart, talented, sometimes even charming. You'd think he could find a better gig than carrying on his grandfather's legacy as a 'Private Dick.'
FINALIST: 2014 Arthur Ellis Award - Best First Novel
Cole is out of money, out of ideas, and out of his league. That's why he's stuck looking for a stolen Sinatra record... a record that may be just a figment of an old man's imagination.
Of course, if that were true, Moss wouldn't have so many people busting down his door.
A vivacious redhead, a foul-mouthed Irish rock star, and a whip-smart little girl only complicate the job, when all Cole wants is a good cup of coffee and some Hot Sinatra.
If only he can stay alive--and in one piece--long enough to find it.
HOT SINATRA by Axel Howerton
Evolved Publishing presents a hardboiled detective caper with a cast of characters to keep you engrossed from first page to last. [DRM-Free]

Lola Starke is a PI with a trust fund. Not that she gets everything she wants—or doesn't want. Like being rid of her Ghost, Aubrey O'Connell, for instance. But in Crescent City, Ghosts are commonplace and Hosts are supposed to be happy about it. So Lola's learned to bide her time. It's served her well as a gwai girl raised in a Chinese city.
When two disparate clients won't take 'no' for an answer, Lola reluctantly agrees to both. She and Aubrey are quickly entangled in a murky puzzle of government officials, drug addicts, angry cops, and the gossamer threads of a dangerous plot. Soon enough, the past comes calling with bad news and worse enemies.
This is the '30s and this is Crescent City, where mah-jongg parlours and film studios hold sway. Where the City's highest official is a Ghost with unimpeachable power and a history with Lola's mother. Where secrets last only as long as it takes money to change hands—or a gun to pry them loose.

17 septembre 1894…
La grande salle de l’hôtel Windsor est bondée de notables. Tous sont venus entendre Georges Villeneuve, médecin-expert à la morgue de Montréal, et son collègue, le docteur Wyatt Johnston, exposer les raisons qui les poussent à demander la construction d’une nouvelle morgue. Villeneuve a à peine terminé son discours quand surgit le lieutenant Bruno Lafontaine : une atrocité s’est produite dans un taudis de Griffintown et il a besoin de son expertise.
Sur la scène du crime, une jeune femme gît dans son sang, littéralement éventrée à la suite d’un avortement clandestin. Villeneuve, qui tente d’inculquer aux forces de l’ordre des méthodes d’analyse modernes, découvre bien peu d’indices en raison de l’incurie des agents. L’enquête sera longue et laborieuse.
Villeneuve n’en poursuit pas moins ses autopsies à la morgue, ses cours aux étudiants en médecine et, depuis peu, son travail d’assistant-surintendant à l’asile Saint-Jean-de-Dieu, car il a enfin obtenu le poste d’aliéniste qu’il convoitait. Or, quand une deuxième, puis une troisième boucherie sont découvertes, la presse s’enflamme et la pression pour que soit arrêté le fou meurtrier devient intenable. Pour Villeneuve, à cette obligation de résultat immédiat s’ajoute une terrible responsabilité : celle de l’aliéniste, dont le devoir est de protéger à tout prix les personnes atteintes de maladie mentale !

Jérôme Marceau est maintenant à la tête des homicides, et le quarante-sixième meurtre de l'année vient d'être commis sur le territoire du SPVM. Dans un hangar souterrain jouxtant le tunnel ferroviaire sous le mont Royal, un amas de cendres et des cerceaux d'acier ont été retrouvés. Seraient-ce les traces d'un suicide ? Jérôme croit qu'il s'agirait plutôt du supplice du collier, une sorte de vengeance populaire qui consiste à passer un pneu autour du cou de la victime, à y verser de l'essence et à y mettre le feu. À part les quelques dents retrouvées, Jérôme a bien peu d'arguments à offrir pour défendre sa thèse. Ce qui ne l'empêche pas de s'obstiner.
Sur le plan personnel, Jérôme traverse une période difficile. Après la disparition de sa mère, il a comblé le vide en se rapprochant de Gabriel Lefebvre, le jeune homme tourmenté qu'il avait rencontré au cours de sa précédente enquête.
L'opiniâtreté de Jérôme Marceau à poursuivre ses recherches ainsi que la mission qu'il s'est donnée de neutraliser les élans de violence de Gabriel finissent par se confondre. Cette situation réveillera en Jérôme une soif de représailles aussi vive que celle de son « fils emprunté ».

How did King Tut really die? The mystery of the young pharaoh’s death is only one of the puzzles that modern science has helped solve. Thanks to forensics—the science of examining physical evidence—we now know that King Tut died of malaria. We also know that stomach cancer, and not arsenic as suspected, killed Napoleon. Seven intriguing stories about historical royal figures whose demise was suspicious, and hard scientific facts about crime-solving techniques make each event seem like an episode of CSI rather than a history lesson. Kids will be fascinated to find out how scientists use autopsy results, DNA testing, bone fragments, and even insects to determine the cause of death. At times a gripping whodunit, at others an exercise in deductive reasoning, this book will be hard to put down for any kids who love mysteries, murder, and suspense.

Danny has survived everything life has thrown at him: being abandoned at birth, multiple abusive foster homes, life as a con man in training. But when his latest "protector" dies suddenly, Danny has to think fast or he'll be back in foster care again. He decides to assume the identity of a boy who disappeared three years before. If nothing else, he figures it will buy him a little time. Much to his astonishment, his new "family" accepts him as their own--despite the fact that he looks nothing like their missing relative. But one old cop has his suspicions about Danny--and he's not about to declare the case closed. Inspired by a true story, Who I'm Not is a powerful portrait of a boy whose identity is as fluid as a river and as changeable as a chameleon's skin.

The last time seventeen-year-old Amelia Mackenzie saw her best friend Matthew alive, he broke her heart. When he is found the next day in an abandoned barn at the edge of town, an apparent suicide, Amelia's whole world comes crashing down.
And then she sees him again. Because Amelia has a secret that even Matthew didn't know: sometimes, she sees ghosts.
When a local history columnist named Morris Dyson contacts Amelia after the funeral and tells her that he thinks the barn Matthew died in is haunted, and that Matthew wasn't its first victim, an unlikely partnership is born. With Amelia's gift for seeing ghosts, Morris's radical theories on the supernatural, and a bit of help from Morris's sexy but skeptical son, Kip, a mystery unfolds. One by one, the barn's other ghostly residents are revealed: all innocent, love-struck young men who've died horrific deaths, seemingly by their own hands.
Life and death couldn't get more complicated as Amelia is torn between her devotion to the ghostly Matthew and her growing attraction to Kip, who may not believe in ghosts but can't help believing in Amelia. When she's confronted with a rivalry between the living and the dead, which side of the great divide will Amelia choose?
Apparition is a fast-paced supernatural mystery about memory and obsession, bodies and spirits, love and loss
