- Hunted / by Mukherjee, Abir,author.;
"When Sajid Khan arrives at his job at Heathrow airport, he is quickly tackled by armed guards. Aliyah, his teenage daughter, whom he knew was traveling abroad, is a suspect in a terrorist attack that took place mere days ago in a mall in Los Angeles. Sajid thinks this must all be a mistake. A lie. But Aliyah wont pick up her phone. And now her face is plastered all over the news. Sajid could not be more frightened or feel more powerless. That is, until he hears a knock arrives at his door and is greeted by a middle-aged, blonde, American woman with a letter in hand, claiming that she believes Sajid's daughter and her own son, Greg, are mixed up in the same dangerous game. And she has a hunch for where they might be. With just scraps for clues, the two parents and unlikely accomplices traverse the globe, in a desperate search for their children. Time is ticking. The hours are flying by. The FBI may outrun them. Another attack is coming. They are almost out of time"--

A girl, a dog and a summer they won’t forget. Twelve-year-old Paige Coopersmith and her family have won a house in an essay-writing contest. Excited to leave their cramped apartment and move to a sprawling property in rural Ontario, they’re more than a little surprised to find the house is old and in need of major repairs. They’re even more shocked to discover that Iggy — the old dog who lives there — comes with the house. Apparently it was all in the fine print! Due to financial stress, and with nowhere else to go, the family stays. Paige, who is scared of the large, unkempt Newfoundland dog, does her best to stay out of her way, while her parents deal with an unusual list of instructions from the previous owner. But girl and beast soon form a special bond, when Paige, a hesitant reader, practises her reading out loud and discovers that Iggy loves to be read to. Little does Paige know Iggy is even more special than she realizes. In fact, someone else has their eye on her, and when Iggy goes missing, it’s Paige who must solve the mysteries of this unusual house and find her now beloved dog.Children/juvenile.

- The dark edge of night / by Pryor, Mark,1967-author.;
"Winter 1940: With soldiers parading down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Nazi flags dangling from the Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower defaced with German propaganda, Parisians have little to celebrate as Christmas approaches. Police Inspector Henri Lefort's wishes for a quiet holiday season are dashed when the Gestapo orders him to investigate the disappearance of Dr. Viktor Brandt, a neurologist involved in a secret project at one of Paris's hospitals. Being forced onto a missing persons case for the enemy doesn't deter Henri from conducting his real job. A Frenchman has been beaten to death in what appears to be a botched burglary, and catching a killer is more important than locating a wayward scientist. But when Henri learns that the victim's brother is a doctor who worked at the same hospital as the missing German, his investigation takes a disturbing turn. Uncovering a relationship between the two men-one that would not be tolerated by the Third Reich-Henri must tread carefully. And when he discovers that Dr. Brandt's experimental work is connected to groups of children being taken from orphanages, Henri risks bringing the wrath of both the SS and the Gestapo upon himself and everyone he loves."--
