Every Night's a Bullfight by John Gardner, Amazon Kindle format

It is the opening night of the Shireston Festival Company's new season. A season which began for Douglas Silver way back in the summer when the trustees responsible for the Festival appointed him Director with a free hand and a generous budget. This was also when he met and seduced the beautiful Carol Evans, a very talented actress …

Convinced that the Shakespearian dramas mirror the problems that beset modern society, Douglas feels sure that by presenting Shakespeare in a radically new light he will rescue Shireston from the obscurity into which it has gradually sunk over the years. Slowly he recruits his ideal actors to put on a unique and stunning set of Shakespearean shows with the leery night club entertainer Joe Thomas in the role of Othello and a casting the Capulets as a black family. Hoping to continue his love affair, he casts Carol as Juliet but each actor takes a huge risk in agreeing to take part in this experimental display as the protests begin …

And meanwhile, emotions are running high in the theatre and several new relationships are forming. Conflicts are inevitable as Douglas casts both his wife, Jennifer and his mistress, Carol in leading roles …

And with setbacks like Joe Thomas getting caught in the airport with pot, Douglas starts to worry if they'll make opening night at all. Will the audience accept his radical interpretation of Romeo and Juliet? Will they accept a celebrated black night-club singer as Othello? Or will they dismiss it all as a cheap gimmick?

It is their reaction on this opening night which will decide the entire future of the Shireston — and the career of Douglas Silver …

While investigating three unexplained deaths, Inspector Bill Roberts finds himself in the middle of a retaliation, after a biker gang moves in on mafia territory. With few leads and increased scrutiny by the Chief of Police and the Mayor of Toronto, he tries to track down whoever is responsible, making himself a target in the process.

Bill Roberts, an Inspector with the Toronto police, has decided today was the day to drag himself back to the gym, for the first time since a recent arrest attempt left him with a broken leg. A mishap on his first day back sets the tone for the next twenty hours. When he gets called to the scene of a murder, he finds a wife has shot her loving husband, for no apparent reason. He and his team of detectives investigate, finding bizarre connections to a local biker gang, the mafia, and the Mayor's office, throwing themselves in the middle of a much larger scandal.

With few leads, Inspector Bill Roberts must connect three strange deaths and find the person responsible. When he suspects the connection is a psychiatrist, Dr. Barry Nelson, the Inspector's priority becomes finding him before he leaves the city, onto his next job. What he doesn't realize is the doctor has one more job to finish … to eliminate Bill Roberts.

Caterer and small-town minister's wife Faith Fairchild might never have accepted the job teaching a course on Cooking for Idiots at Mansfield Academy had it not been for Daryl Martin. An African-American student at the prestigious prep school, Daryl has lately become the target of a series of vicious and anonymous racial attacks — and Faith is determined to put an end to the injustice.

But Mansfield, she finds, is a seething cauldron of secrets, academic in-fighting, and unspoken rules that complicate her task. When someone tampers with her classroom cooking ingredients — and then the remains of her prime suspect are discovered smoldering in a campus bonfire — she realizes that a monstrous evil is stalking both Daryl and the school. And suddenly Faith's own life is in serious jeopardy as well!
