What we buried / by Rotenberg, Robert,1953-author.;
A Toronto homicide detective is attacked at his doorstep when his investigation into possible links between the Nazi occupation of Italy and the murder of his brother decades later gets too close to the truth-in the new crime thriller from bestselling author Robert Rotenberg. Perfect for fans of Scott Turow and David Baldacci. It's been years since Daniel Kennicott's brother, Michael, was shot and killed the night before he was about to depart for Gubbio, Italy. The case, never solved, has haunted Daniel ever since. Long suspecting the killing was tied to Michael's planned trip but overwhelmed with grief, Daniel has put off going there-until now, the tenth anniversary of the murder. As he's about to leave, Daniel learns that his two mentors, detectives Ari Greene and Nora Bering, have been more involved in the investigation of Michael's murder than he ever knew. And they're concerned about Daniel's safety. But why? Is Daniel risking his life-and those of others-by trying to uncover the truth? When Daniel arrives in the bucolic Italian hill town, he learns the past has not been put to rest. Residents are still haunted by the brutal Nazi occupation, the brave acts of the local freedom fighters, and the swift savagery of German retribution. And as Daniel delves into his family's deadly connection to Gubbio, Ari Greene searches for a killer closer to home. Inspired by the true story of the Forty Martyrs in Gubbio, Italy, during World War II, What We Buried is an extraordinary crime novel about troubled legacies, revenge, and the unbreakable bonds of family.

The innocent dead / by Anderson, Lin,author.;
The present day discovery of a child's remains in a peat bog south of Glasgow looks to finally solve the decades old mystery of ten year old Mary McInally's disappearance. Karen Marshall had been devastated by her best pal's abduction on the day of her confirmation. Questioned by the police but traumatised by the loss of her friend, nothing Karen remembered back then had helped. Now decades later, the news of the possible discovery of Mary's body brings the nightmares back, but added to that are returning memories long buried by Karen. Memories that begin to reveal her role in her friend's disappearance and perhaps the identity of the killer. Are these memories the truth or just a figment of an aging brain? Called in to excavate the body on the moor, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod uses the advances made in forensic science since Mary's death to unravel a horrific tale that encompasses more than just one child, and not only in the past.
