The Warsaw protocol / by Berry, Steve,1955-author.;
"One by one the seven precious relics of the Arma Christi, the weapons of Christ, are disappearing from sanctuaries across the world. After former Justice Department agent, Cotton Malone, witnesses the theft of one of them, he learns from his old boss, Stephanie Nelle, that a private auction is about to be held where incriminating information on the president of Poland will be offered to the highest bidder--blackmail that both the United States and Russia want, but for vastly different reasons. The price of admission to that auction is one of the relics, so Malone is first sent to a castle in Poland to steal the Holy Lance, a thousand-year-old spear sacred to not only Christians but to the Polish people, and then on to the auction itself. But nothing goes as planned and Malone is thrust into a bloody battle between three nations over information that, if exposed, could change the balance of power in Europe. From the tranquil canals of Bruges, to the elegant rooms of Wawel Castle, to deep beneath the earth into an ancient Polish salt mine, Malone is caught in the middle of a deadly war--the outcome of which turns on a secret known as the Warsaw Protocol"--

Water borne : a 1,200-mile paddleboarding pilgrimage / by Rubinstein, Dan,1973-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."An unconventional SUP journey to discover how embracing blue space could improve our lives and our world. In June 2023, writer Dan Rubinstein lashed camping gear to his stand-up paddleboard and embarked on an improbable solo voyage from Ottawa to Montreal, New York City, Toronto, and back to Ottawa along the rivers, lakes, and canals of a landlocked region. Over 1,200 miles and 10 weeks, he explored the healing potential of "blue space"--the aquatic equivalent of green space -- and sought out others drawn to their local waters. But the farther Rubinstein paddled, the more he realized that being in, on, or around water does more than boost our mental and physical health and prompt stewardship toward the natural world. He discovered that blue spaces are also a way to connect with the kaleidoscopic cross-section of people he met and the diverse geographies and communities he passed through. Weaving together research, interviews, and an unmacho, malodorous, anticolonial adventure tale, Water Borne shows us that we don't need an epic journey to find solutions to so many modern challenges. Repair and renewal may be close at hand: just add water"--

All I want for Christmas / by Swan, Karen(Writer),author.;

Darcy Cotterell is not feeling remotely festive. Newly single, she's not even going home for Christmas but will instead spend the holiday finishing her PhD. Her best friend, Freja, has other ideas though and convinces Darcy to sign up to an upmarket dating site where she can meet Copenhagen's most eligible bachelors. Freja is determined that Darcy won't be lonely this Christmas and gets her to agree to match with three potential dates. Then Darcy is given the job of solving a new, intriguing art mystery: an unknown portrait by Denmark's greatest painter has been found beneath another masterpiece and she must discover the identity of the woman in the painting. During her research, she encounters sexy, arrogant lawyer Max Lorensen - who also happens to be bachelor number one.
