- Ice on fire / by Halliwell, Geri,1972-;
"On the brink of discovering who--or what--lies behind her mother's death, Rosie Frost begins a new adventure with a murder to solve, revenge on her mind, and more questions than she has answers. It's a new term at Heverbridge School, and Bloodstone Island is in turmoil: mutant animals are on the loose, jealous classmates want to bring Rosie down, and, even worse, there's a black hole to deal with. Below the island's surface, an everlasting star is growing in strength, and it just may end them all. Rosie discovers the north side of the island, home to the alluring Imperium Palace. But is the palace one of scientific genius or deadly menace? While she fights to know the truth about her past--and her family's ancient ties to Bloodstone--Rosie begins to wonder if the price for the truth may be too high. She must discover what she's really made of as a fresh danger puts her new home--and all that she loves--at risk"--Ages 10 up.- Subjects: Fantasy fiction.; Orphans; Competition; Magic; Schools;

- Lightning strikes the silence / by Whishaw, Iona,1948-author.;
A warm June afternoon in King's Cove is interrupted by an explosion. Following the sound, Lane goes to investigate. Up a steep path she discovers a secluded cabin and, hiding nearby, a young Japanese girl injured and mute, but very much alive. At the Nelson Police Station, Inspector Darling and Sergeant Ames, following up on a report of a nighttime heist at the local jeweller's, discover the jeweller himself dead in his office, apparently bludgeoned, and a live wire hanging off the back of the building. As Lane attempts to speed the search for the girl's family with her own lines of inquiry, Darling and his team dig deeper into a local connection between the jeweller and a fellow businessman that leads across the pond to Cornwall and north to a mining interest on the McKenzie River. Away at her police course in Vancouver, Sergeant Terrell's favourite (former) waitress April McAvity is drawn into the case when Darling asks for her help with finding possible relatives in the city for Lane's young charge. Meanwhile offices are being ransacked and someone is following Lane. Through the alleyways of Nelson onto the country roads and woods trails of King's Cove, the latest Winslow mystery is a study in bygone promises and lingering prejudice.- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Historical fiction.; Novels.; Murder; Orphans; Secrecy;
