Valentine in Montreal : a novel / by O'Neill, Heather,author.; O'Neill, Arizona,illustrator.;
"A young woman who works at a Montreal metro station looks up and sees her doppelganger and is thrown into an unexpected adventure, in this playful and surprising novel, first serialized in the Montreal Gazette and now beautifully illustrated. In the tradition of the serialized novels of Charles Dickens, Armistead Maupin, Tom Wolfe, Stephen King, and Michael Chabon, Heather O'Neill brings us Valentine in Montreal. Originally published in weekly installments in the Montreal Gazette as "Mystery in the Metro," this is the story of Valentine, a lonely and orphaned girl, who, while working at the dépanneur of a Montreal metro station, spots her look-alike. Following this seeming twin on to the subway and out into the city, Valentine's world is changed -- she meets gangsters, composers, ballet dancers, a cricket playing a mournful tune and she meets the city, in all its teeming energy. Valentine in Montreal is a playful, moving and surprising story of a young woman finding both connection and the courage to break free of what has been holding her back. It's also a portrait of Montreal and its artistry and vibrancy both above and below ground. Illustrations by graphic artist Arizona O'Neill run throughout."--

With nobody else to trust, Beau calls in a favor from his friend on the FBI's Mobile Response Team. While LAPD detective Kara Quinn works undercover to dig into the women's murders and team leader Matt Costa officially investigates the in-custody death of a witness, Beau might finally have a chance at solving the case. But in a town where everyone knows everyone, talking gets you killed and secrets stay buried, it's going to take the entire team working around the clock to unravel the truth. Especially when they discover that the deep-seated corruption and the deadly drug-trafficking ring at the center of it all extends far beyond the small-town borders"--

When she dreams / by Quick, Amanda,author.;
"Return to 1930s Burning Cove, California, the glamorous seaside playground for Hollywood stars, mobsters, spies, and a host of others who find more than they bargain for in this mysterious town. Maggie Lodge, assistant to the reclusive advice columnist known only as Dear Aunt Cornelia to her readers, hires down-but-not-quite-out private eye Sam Sage to help track down the person who is blackmailing her employer. Maggie and Sam are a mismatched pair. As far as Sam is concerned, Maggie is reckless and in over her head. She is not what he had in mind for a client, but he can't afford to be choosy. Maggie, on the other hand, is convinced that Sam is badly in need of guidance and good advice. She does not hesitate to give him both. In spite of the verbal fireworks between them, they are fiercely attracted to each other, but each is convinced it would be a mistake to let passion take over. They are, after all, keeping secrets from each other. Sam is haunted by his past, which includes a marriage shattered by betrayal and violence. Maggie is troubled by intense and vivid dreams-dreams that she can sometimes control. There are those who want to run experiments on her and use her for their own purposes, while others think she should be committed to an asylum. When the pair discovers someone is impersonating Aunt Cornelia at a conference on psychic dreaming and a woman dies at the conference, the door is opened to a dangerous web of blackmail and murder. Secrets from the past are revealed, leaving Maggie and Sam in the path of a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to exact vengeance"--
