Reclamation
Karin Bishop
A Novel of Suspense
Publisher: Karin Bishop

Teresa Carraher is a 22-year-old struggling photographer in idyllic Whistler, BC. She's working as a gallery manager for her mentor, an internationally-known photographer, and getting her life in order after a tumultuous youth. Her family was absorbed by a religious fanatic and Teresa barely escaped the compound. Her greatest regret was leaving her nine-year-old brother Roger behind to the religious madness.

Five years later, Roger has turned up on her doorstep. He brings three problems for his big sister. First, she must determine if Roger has been indoctrinated. The second problem is completely unexpected: Roger is transgender. But it's the third problem that is most dangerous: The fanatic may have sent minions to reclaim Roger — and perhaps Teresa, too.

Teresa gathers strength and assistance from a group of Whistler women, her mentor, wealthy European friends — and a very handsome lawyer — to help Roger and to save them both from religious zealots bent on reclamation.

Any Witch Way You Can
Amanda M. Lee
A Wicked Witches of the Midwest Mystery
Publisher: Amanda M. Lee

Bay Winchester is having a tough week. As the local editor of Hemlock Cove's only newspaper, she just happens to be present when a body is found in an area corn maze. To make matters worse, the police believe the murder may have something to do with the occult. This wouldn't be a problem for a normal reporter, but since Bay is descended from a well-known line of actual witches, the town is understandably on edge.

Between the suspicious townspeople, the befuddled police presence and that random hot biker guy that may or may not have something to do with the murder — Bay has her hands full. When you add the typical family problems, multiplying ghosts -- and one monster of a zit that she's sure came from her aunt's curse — Bay is just struggling to make it through the week.

Of course, when the killer sets his sights on Bay, things could get a whole lot worse.

The Silence of the Lambs
Thomas Harris
A Hannibal Lecter Thriller
St. Martin's Press

Winner of the 1989 Anthony Award for Best Novel.

A serial murderer known only by a grotesquely apt nickname — Buffalo Bill — is stalking women. He has a purpose, but no one can fathom it, for the bodies are discovered in different states. Clarice Starling, a young trainee at the FBI Academy, is surprised to be summoned by Jack Crawford, chief of the Bureau's Behavioral Science section. Her assignment: to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter — Hannibal the Cannibal — who is kept under close watch in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.

Dr. Lecter is a former psychiatrist with a grisly history, unusual tastes, and an intense curiosity about the darker corners of the mind. His intimate understanding of the killer and of Clarice herself form the core of this ingenious, masterfully written book and an unforgettable classic of suspense fiction.

The film adaptation of the book won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor (Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter), Best Actress (Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling), Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Hostage
Kay Hooper
Series: Bishop: Special Crimes Unit (2nd)

Haven operative Luther Brinkman has been sent into the wilderness of the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee to locate escaped felon Cole Jacoby, a mentally unstable bank robber. Supposedly, Jacoby hid more than ten million dollars from his last heist before he was captured — and rather mysteriously escaped federal custody. And once Brinkman finds Jacoby, the agent is left severely wounded, with no way to convey his location to Haven.

Callie Davis, an agent with the FBI's Special Crimes Unit, has been in the area for some time, due to the foresight of her boss and unit chief, Noah Bishop. But when she finds the wounded Brinkman, her rescue mission turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse.

What neither Luther nor Callie know is that their quarry is far more than an escaped bank robber. And that in hunting him, they will find themselves being hunted by him, and will discover him to be the worst monster either of them has ever known.

Blood flows south — the beginning  …

Dominic Mangini wanted what all 8-year-old boys want — time to laugh and play, loving parents, and enough food on the table. But in war-ravaged Sicily, food was scarce, and his parents were as scarred as the land.

His father said they must move to America so they could start over and be a family once again. Dominic got a new start, and he got a new family — but not the kind of family he expected.

Badger Lake
Aaron Shaffer
A Murder Mystery
Publisher: Aaron Shaffer

Murder and corruption. A small-town news team. Tropical birds. Sharp-clawed badgers. A tornado. What could possibly go wrong?

After two strange murders in two days, small-town Badger Lake needs some heroes. A twisted, but strangely comical, storyline pits small-town television news against East Coast mob. Who are the heroes trying to find a pair of bumbling murderers? A motley crew, consisting of tropical bird-toting television reporter Walt Johnson, an intern who wants to be known as "Captain", and their TV station's peculiar management team — a cross-dressing general manager and a news director with a roughly ten-second attention span.

While attempting to solve the murders, the group of news men forms an alliance with a pair of well-educated, scantily-clad college women, and a lazy, but emotional, sheriff. There are painful encounters with wild animals, strange water chases involving boats and animals, a tornado, and many other scenarios that could only take place in one place: Badger Lake, Wisconsin.

When he is eight years old Reuben Sykes kills his abusive father in a remote cabin in the mountains of Virginia. Although the act brings with it a sense of tremendous relief, Reuben takes no pleasure in it. The subsequent murder of his sister, though, is an entirely different matter. When done, in fact, his only regret is that he can't kill her all over again.

Sixty-four years later, when four-year-old Sophie Crandall is abducted from her grandfather's home in rural Maine, the ensuing investigation brings answers none of those involved, least of all the police, want to hear.

Ordinary Grace
William Kent Krueger
A Novel
Atria Books

New Bremen, Minnesota, 1961. The Twins were playing their debut season, ice-cold root beers were selling out at the soda counter of Halderson's Drugstore, and Hot Stuff comic books were a mainstay on every barbershop magazine rack. It was a time of innocence and hope for a country with a new, young president. But for thirteen-year-old Frank Drum it was a grim summer in which death visited frequently and assumed many forms. Accident. Nature. Suicide. Murder.

Frank begins the season preoccupied with the concerns of any teenage boy, but when tragedy unexpectedly strikes his family — which includes his Methodist minister father; his passionate, artistic mother; Juilliard-bound older sister; and wise-beyond-his-years kid brother — he finds himself thrust into an adult world full of secrets, lies, adultery, and betrayal, suddenly called upon to demonstrate a maturity and gumption beyond his years.
