He lands a job working at Tuffy's, a restaurant and bar on the beach strip, alongside his former cellmate, Slip Winegarden. Things seem to be looking good for Arden, until it all starts to unravel... When Slip is caught crossing Viktor Khernov, Tuffy's owner, Arden witnesses the madman's revenge from close quarters. Arden's parole officer tells him to find another job or lose his parole status. Meanwhile, the detective investigating Slip's murder tightens the vice by ordering Arden to stay on the job and feed him 9781988168548 information or face the same penalty. Amid Arden's ongoing drama, trying to stay cool, is Josie Marshall, widow of a detective found murdered in front of their English beach strip home a few years ago - a murder Josie solved on her own (and told in 5.5 x 8.5 x 1 in | 1 lb Reynolds' previous novel Beach Strip). Josie thinks men can be handy sometimes, but she'd prefer they left her alone. Fat chance, especially after her relationship 456 pages with Slip Winegarden becomes known. Soon she and Arden are trying to fend off At Bay Press Viktor Kernov and his muscled sidekick, as well as the homicide detective determined to solve Slip Winegarden's murder, all while drawn into a romance that neither of them saw coming but both appear unable to avoid. Subject FICTION / Mystery & Detective / Gritty, violent, with a distinct noir flavour and a nod to Elmore Leonard, Beach General Blonde reunites readers with Josie Marshall, the witty and resourceful heroine of Beach Strip. Distributor Contributor Bio LitDistCo John Lawrence Reynolds has authored or co-authored more than 30 books.

It was there where he became part of the vanguard in Quebec animation, launching a distinguished career combining animated film, writing and directing. Shortly after joining the National Film Board, he began to make film history with his innovative techniques and his films based on Inuit legends. Working in collaboration with Inuit artists from Nunavut and Nunavik, his respect for the 9781988168555 Inuit iconography, language and music manifested in a rare anthropological poetry and began his continuing involvement in the culture and concerns of the English peoples of the North.

  • Goose Lane Editions Fall 2018 Where to Begin? with a Heartbeat
    Goose Lane Editions Fall 2018 Where to begin? With a heartbeat. A word. An image. Fall 2018. A season of provocation, of entertainment, of complete absorption. A season of ideas. And of emotion. “This is where the heart of feminism beats.” — Annie Lennox on Powered by Love This fall our selection of new titles includes books destined for everyone’s reading list: a provocative (and yes, decidedly controversial) book on the myths of mammography by investigative journalist Renée Pellerin; a memoir of a river by one of Canada’s best nature writers, Wayne Curtis; and the first of two volumes on the Great Trail by hiker extraordinaire Michael Haynes. “Blunt, honest and well-researched.” — Flurt on F-Bomb Readers will be entranced by fabled lawman Strother Purcell in Ian Weir’s deadpan revisionist western and pulled into the undertow of history in Paul Carlucci’s ravaged high-rise of the north. In icehouse poetry, renowned poet Patricia Young and first-book author Dominque Bernier-Cormier will encourage readers to cast their gaze on a pungent, pulsating universe. Full stop. And then, with much ado, we’ll unveil a dazzling array of illustrated books, including three distinctive books of photography. ...Everything Remains Raw records the evolution of the Toronto hip hop scene through graffiti, magazine shoots, and behind-the-scenes documentary photographs. The Lost City documents the vanished neighbourhoods of Saint John razed by the progress of “urban development” in arresting, black-and-white photographs by Ian MacEachern. In One Wave, Ned Pratt transforms the Newfoundland landscape into distillations of form and colour — without a hint of nostalgia.
