Heat Wave a mystery by Maureen Jennings

It’s July 1936, and Charlotte Frayne is the junior associate in a two-person private investigation firm, owned by T. Gilmore. An anti-Semitic hate letter is delivered to Gilmore, and a veteran of the First World War requests the firm’s assistance in uncovering what he believes is systematic embezzlement of the Paradise Café, which he owns and operates with three other men, all of whom were prisoners of war. The two events, although seemingly unrelated, come together in this wonderful novel that brings to life characters who are as real to the reader as those of the Murdoch series. Detective Jack Murdoch, son of the Murdoch Mysteries protagonist, features in the book.

The Gods of East Wawanosh poems by Marilyn Gear Pilling

Bearing witness to the complexities of living, Marilyn Gear Pilling’s sixth poetry collection, The Gods of East Wawanosh, meditates on our mortality and the light in which it casts both our longing for the ideal and our embrace of the real.

The first part of the collection documents scenes in the life of a Huron Coun- ty family still in thrall to the ancestral farm. Life unfolds in a series of mo- ments as the continuity of generations, family hopes, conflicts and tragedies are lived out in a setting that “both shattered and held together” their world.

In the second part, Pilling assumes the role of observer and listener, recording voices of others whose paths have crossed hers — neighbours, new immi- grants, people encountered while travelling — as they relate stories of danger

Claws of the Panda Beijing’s Campaign of Influence and Intimidation in Canada by Jonathan Manthorpe

“An important book … as compelling as it is disturbing.” — David Mulroney, author of Middle Power, Middle Kingdom, former Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China

Claws of the Panda tells the story of Ottawa’s failure to construct a workable policy towards the People’s Republic of China, and its failure to recognize and confront the efforts by the Chinese Communist Party to exert undue influence in Canadian affairs. Jonathan Manthorpe provides a detailed de- scription of the CCP’s campaign to embed agents of influence in Canadian business, politics, media, and academia.

The Y chromosome a novel by Leona Gom

From prizewinning novelist and poet Leona Gom comes an ironic and pro- vocative novel set in a futuristic society where women dominate and men are believed to be extinct.

Bowden is a helper at Leth Hospital, struggling to settle into her relationship with her mate Delacour, a history professor who studies the Change — the violent time when men died out.

The few men still alive have been hidden on the northern farms, socialized into accepting their inferiority — although eighteen-year- old Daniel dreams of more.

We Were Like everyone Else poems by Ken Victor

The question of whether or not we can survive our own missteps always lin- gers in the background of our 21st century lives as we go about raising our children, dining in restaurants, walking in woods, or working from a home office. In his debut book, We Were Like Everyone Else, Ken Victor explores the daily humanity of family, the folly of our politics, and a natural world that seems to offer the promise of consolation but never quite does.

Poetry lovers on both sides of the border are familiar with Victor’s work from The Malahat Review, Grain, and Vallum. In this body of poems, both lyrical and narrative, the possibility of violence is never far off. The same can be said of love, our capacity to endure, and our hunger for healing and redemption. And yet these poems offer no prescription, no bulwark to keep menace from our children or despair from encroaching on our few vestiges of hope. As one poem puts it, you’ve got to live your life like you’re in control of it, pray like you aren’t.

He is second-in-command to the head of the firm, who lives by the saying “Dress English, think Jewish.” But when the boss he admires is sued for copyright infringe- ment, puts the firm up for sale, and then dies, Lewis has to rethink not only his future, but how his past got him to the uncomfortable position in which he now finds himself.

Sir Arthur Currie’s funeral on December 4, 1933, found 250,000 people standing in the cold, wet streets of Montreal, far from his birthplace of Ladysmith, British Columbia.

Despite the attempted smears against his reputation and war record, those who served under him felt that he was a commander who listened to good advice, who could lead from the front, and who was frugal with the lives of his men.
