- Clan / by Brouwer, Sigmund,1959-;
The classic survival story gets a prehistoric twist in this gripping middle-grade adventure featuring a boy and his sabre tooth tiger cub, perfect for fans of Hatchet. Part survival story, part animal-human friendship story and part redemption story, Clan follows the journey of Atlatl and the saber tooth cub he rescued from a dire wolf attack. When Atlatl brings Cub back to his Clan, it begins a series of events that end with Atlatl being banished -- the worst possible punishment for any Clan member. Without the protection of the group, a single person is all but helpless in the face of predators like the short-nosed bear, dire wolves and cheetahs. And Atlatl is even more vulnerable because of a childhood injury to his leg. But before the Clan can leave him behind, disaster strikes, and Atlatl has to rely on his wits, his ingenuity and his bravery to face the biggest foe yet and try to save what remains of his Clan.LSC- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Adventure fiction.; Survival; Saber-toothed tigers; Human-animal relationships; Predation (Biology); Exile (Punishment); Children with disabilities; Fathers and sons; Clans; Stone age;

- Beating about the bush / by Beaton, M. C.,author.;
"New York Times bestseller M. C. Beaton's cranky, crafty Agatha Raisin-now the star of a hit T.V. show-is back on the case again. When private detective Agatha Raisin comes across a severed leg in a roadside hedge, it looks like she is about to become involved in a particularly gruesome murder. Looks, however, can be deceiving, as Agatha discovers when she is employed to investigate a case of industrial espionage at a factory where nothing is quite what it seems. The factory mystery soon turns to murder and a bad-tempered donkey turns Agatha into a national celebrity, before bringing her ridicule and shame. To add to her woes, Agatha finds herself grappling with growing feelings for her friend and occasional lover, Sir Charles Fraith. Then, as a possible solution to the factory murder unfolds, her own life is thrown into deadly peril. Will Agatha get her man at last? Or will the killer get her first?"--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Raisin, Agatha (Fictitious character); Women private investigators; Murder; Business intelligence;

What would you do if you thought your coworker was getting away with murder—literally? Dolores dela Cruz has been dying to spot one in the wild, and he fits the mold perfectly: strangler gloves, calculated charm, dashing good looks that give a leg up in any field . . . including fields of unmarked graves. The new office temp is definitely a serial killer. Jake Ripper finds a welcome distraction in his combative and enigmatic new coworker. He hasn’t come across anyone as interesting as Dolores in a long time. But when mere curiosity evolves into a darkly romantic flirtation, Jake can’t help but wonder if, finally, he’s found someone who really sees him, skeletons in the closet and all. Until Dolores asks Jake’s help to dispose of a body . . . A morbidly funny and emotionally resonant novel about the ways life—and love—can sneak up on us (no matter how much pepper spray we carry).- Subjects: Audiobooks.; Black Humor; Contemporary; Suspense;

- This red line goes straight to your heart : a memoir in halves / by Anand, Madhur,1971-author.;
"We begin with a man off balance: one in one thousand, the only child in town whose polio leads to partial paralysis. We meet his future wife, chanting Hai Rams for Gandhiji and choosing education over marriage. On one side of the line that divides this book, we follow them as their homeland splits in two and they are drawn together, moving to Canada and raising their children in mining towns and in crowded city apartments. And when we turn the book over, we find the daughter's tale--we see how the rupture of Partition, the asymmetry of a father's leg, the virus of a mother's rage, makes its way to the next generation. Told through the lenses of biology, physics, history and poetry, this is a memoir that defies form and convention to immerse the reader in the feeling of what remains when we've heard as much of the truth as our families will allow, and we're left to search for ourselves among the pieces they've carried with them." --Amazon.ca.- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Upside-down books.; Anand, Madhur, 1971-; Anand, Madhur, 1971-; Immigrants; Panjabi Canadians; Families;

The last Carolina sister -- A Carolina valentine."In Magnolia, North Carolina, love might be waiting right next door... Meredith Ventner knows a wounded creature when she sees one. Though her temporary new neighbor may be--on the surface at least--a successful, drop-dead gorgeous doctor, she recognizes the deep hurt Ryan Sorensen is carrying, and it's catnip to her soul. But even though Meredith is the youngest, scrappiest and single-est of Magnolia's most famous sisters, she's committed to expanding the animal shelter on her newly inherited farm. She can't waste her energy on a man who's only passing through town. Ryan is hoping that after a month of small-town living he'll be healed enough to return to his busy ER. His injured leg isn't half as painful as his guilt from the tragedy he's trying to forget. Yet somehow, helping feisty, tenderhearted Meredith care for her menagerie is making him question his career-first priorities. Here in this quirky small town another future is coming into view, but can he change his life, and open his heart, to claim it?- Subjects: Romance fiction.; Man-woman relationships; Love Stories;

After catching a glimpse of the billions of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America, they pledge to quit grocery shopping cold turkey and survive only on foods that would otherwise be thrown away. In a nation where one in 10 people is food insecure, the images they capture of squandered groceries are both shocking and strangely compelling. But as Grant's addictive personality turns full tilt towards food rescue, the 'thrill of the find' has unexpected consequences. Featuring interviews with TED lecturer, author and activist Tristram Stuart and acclaimed author Jonathan Bloom, Just Eat It looks at our systemic obsession with expiry dates, perfect produce and portion sizes, and reveals the core of this seemingly insignificant issue that is having devastating consequences around the globe. Just Eat It brings farmers, retailers, inspiring organizations, and consumers to the table in a cinematic story that is equal parts education and delicious entertainment"--foodwastemovie.com.E.DVD.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Educational films.; Environmental films.; Food waste.; Food waste; Waste minimization.; Waste minimization; Food industry and trade; Food industry and trade; Surplus agricultural commodities.; Source reduction (Waste management); Food preferences; Food preferences; Food supply; Food supply; Food consumption; Food consumption; Food habits; Waste (Economics); Waste (Economics); Consumption (Economics); Consumption (Economics); Waste products; Salvage (Waste, etc.); Sustainable living; Thriftiness.; Gleaning.; Consumer education.;

"A novel inspired by #1 New York Times best-selling author Mark Greaney's Audible Original drama, Armored. Joshua Duffy is a Close Protection Agent--a professional bodyguard--and, as such, he's one of the world's elite operatives. That is he was until his last mission in Lebanon.

A lucky run-in reunites Josh with an old comrade who offers the desperate man a shot at a lucrative job. The UN is sending a peace mission into the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico--an area so dangerous it's known as Espinazo del Diablo--the Devil's Spine. Just two problems: Only a fool would think they could broker peace between the homicidal drug cartels in the region, and only a madman would sign on to keep those fools alive"--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Spy fiction.; Novels.; Bodyguards; Bodyguards; Cartels; Diplomatic negotiations in international disputes; Drug dealers; Organized crime; People with disabilities;

- Who cries for the lost / by Harris, C. S.,author.;
"The dead man smelled like fish. Rotting fish. Pale, bloodless, and faceless, he lay on the stained granite slab in the center of Paul Gibson's ancient stone outbuilding, filling the small room with a foul stench. But then, bodies pulled from the Thames did have a nasty tendency to reek of fish. Fish, brine, tar, and-if it was warm and they'd been in the water long enough-decay. The outbuilding stood at the base of a newly planted garden that stretched out behind the medieval Tower Hill house where Gibson kept his surgery, and he paused now in the doorway to suck in one last breath of fresh, rose-scented air before entering the room. The morning was damp and chilly, the sky a low, menacing gray, the ache from Gibson's truncated left leg sharp enough that he winced as he limped forward. Irish by birth, he was thinner than he should have been and younger than he looked, his dark hair already heavily laced with gray, the long grooves that bracketed his mouth dug deep. Pain had a way of doing that to a man-pain and the opium he used to control it"--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Historical fiction.; Novels.; Murder; Regency; Saint Cyr, Sebastian (Fictitious character);

There's Franny, a woman who has just lost her sister and has four unopened letters from her that she plans to use to open her up to new experiences on the Cape. And there's Aidan, her high school sweetheart, now a widower, who is staying at the inn with his nine-year-old son, Luke.
