Unaware that this is all a cruel ruse, the innocent boy goes to the station platform every day and reassures the passengers that the journey is safe. But when the final train is at the station, Nico sees his family being loaded into a large boxcar crowded with other neighbors. Only after it is too late does Nico discover that he helped send the people he loved--and all the others--to their doom at Auschwitz. Nico never tells the truth again.

The Midnight Club : a novel / by Harrison, Margot,author.;
It's been twenty-five years since The Midnight Club last convened. A tight-knit group of college friends bonded by late nights at the campus literary magazine, they're also bonded by something darker: the death of their brilliant friend Jennet junior year. But now, decades later, a mysterious invitation has pulled them back to the pine-shrouded Vermont town where it all began. As the estranged friends gather for a weeklong campus reunion, they soon learn that their host has an ulterior motive: she wants them to uncover the truth about the night Jennet died, and she's provided them with an extraordinary method--a secret substance that helps them not only remember but relive the past. But each one of the friends has something to hide. And the more they question each other, the deeper they dive into their own memories, the more they understand that nothing they thought they knew about their college years, and that fateful night, is true.

In a place of darkness / by MacBride, Stuart,author.;
No one knew Dr Sarah Fordyce was missing, until her husband's mutilated body is discovered in the family home, with a note nailed to his forehead, "Don't believe their lies!!!" Two weeks later, a city councillor disappears, and his murdered wife is found with the same words. Two weeks after that, it's a prominent local journalist who's vanished, his husband's corpse left as a twisted message board and the "Fortnight Killer" is the topic of daily headlines. Angus McVicar has only just made detective constable, and when he's assigned to the Major Inquiry Team hunting Oldcastle's newest serial killer it should be the perfect opportunity to prove himself. Only instead of being out on the front line, breaking the case, he's saddled with babysitting the forensic psychologist from hell, who's determined to drag him into a festering swamp of lies, delusions, and conspiracy theories. It's been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and Angus is running out of time. But he's heading into darkness, and there are monsters lurking there.

Hush / by Farrow, Dylan,1985-;
"A stunning and timely debut from activist Dylan Farrow, Hush is a powerful feminist fantasy full of surprising insights, that casts a ray of light into the shadows of a society based on silencing and lies. How do you speak up in a world where propaganda is a twisted form of magic? In the land of Montane, language is literal magic to the select few who possess the gift of Telling. This power is reserved for the Bards, and, as everyone knows, the Bards have almost always been men. Seventeen-year-old Shae has lived her entire life in awe of the Bards-and afraid of the Blot, a deadly disease spread by ink, which took the life of her younger brother five years ago. Ever since, Shae fears she's cursed. But when tragedy strikes again, and her mother is found murdered with a golden dagger-a weapon used only by the Bards-Shae is forced to act. With a heart set on justice, Shae journeys to High House in search of answers. But when the kind, fatherly Cathal, the High Lord of Montane, makes Shae an undeniable offer to stay and train as a Bard, Shae can't refuse. Through this twisty tale, Shae endures backbreaking training by a ruthless female Bard, tentative and highly-forbidden feelings for a male Bard with a dark past, and a castle filled with dangerous illusions bent on keeping its secrets buried. But sometimes, the truth is closer than we think. We just have to learn to listen. "Farrow carefully crafts a layered world hiding dark secrets and gives us a fierce protagonist determined to unearth the truth-no matter the consequences. A compelling tale that's bound to grab your heart."--Swati Teerdhala, author of the Tiger at Midnight series"--Provided by publisher.LSC
