For a woman obsessed and a killer in her shadow, remembering the
past becomes a mind game in a novel of psychological suspense by
New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton. Twin sisters Marisa
and Clare Stockton were sixteen when Clare's body was found in
Virginia's James River. No arrests were made. Fourteen years later,
Marisa's friends and dedicated career as a photographer help her to
cope with the open wound of the past. But Marisa still feels the
hurt-and the unsolved murder isn't the only thing haunting her. A
recent car crash has erased ten days of Marisa's memories-a black
hole leading up to the accident that's left her disoriented. Every
text and phone call from that crucial missing time has vanished,
along with her phone. A photograph she took of the river has
disappeared. A new neighbor Marisa believes she knows introduces
himself as if he were a stranger. And there's the growing fear that
her near-fatal accident was no accident at all. As dreams of Clare
and nightmares of the crash begin to converge, so do two disturbing
puzzles fourteen years apart. Putting the pieces together could be
fatal. As she struggles to remember everything, Marisa closes in on
a killer-without realizing that he's already closed in on her.
Expect the unexpected in this gritty, tense, and page-turning
thriller from New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton. After
multiple women go missing, Agent Melina Shepard of the Tennessee
Bureau of Investigation makes the impulsive decision to go
undercover as a prostitute. While working the street, she narrowly
avoids becoming a serial killer’s latest victim; as much as it
pains her to admit, she needs backup. Enter lone wolf FBI agent
Jerrod Ramsey. Stonewalled by a lack of leads, he and Melina
investigate a scene where a little girl has been found abandoned in
a crashed vehicle. They open the trunk to reveal a horror show and
quickly realize they’re dealing with two serial killers with very
different MOs. The whole situation brings back memories for
Melina—why does this particular case feel so connected to her
painful past? Before time runs out, Melina must catch not one but
two serial killers, both ready to claim another victim—and both
with their sights set on her.

A homicide detective in the dark. A serial killer on the loose.
Both have their obsessions in a nerve-twisting novel of suspense by
New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton. Austin homicide
detective Jordan Poe is hunting a serial killer she fears is the
same man who assaulted her sister, Avery, two years ago. The
details line up: the victims are the same age, same type, dead by
the same grim MO. Luckily Avery survived. But the terrible memories
linger, making Jordan more determined than ever to stop this
monster in his tracks. Texas Ranger Carter Spencer isn't one to
poach on a detective's territory. Yet no matter how resentful a
capable lone wolf like Jordan is, when she is attacked at a third
crime scene and suffers a trauma that leaves her with limited
vision, it's up to Carter to help Jordan navigate a world she no
longer recognizes. He needs her instinct, her experience, and her
fearless resolve to crack this case. A case that's about to get
even darker. A stranger is watching. He's closing in on his
ultimate prey. And no one but the killer can see what's coming.
Fire can destroy the past. It can also uncover secrets in this
novel of searing suspense by New York Times bestselling author Mary
Burton. Ten years ago as an undergrad, Joan Mason escaped an
arsonist’s fire. Shaken, she fled the small collegiate Montana
town, leaving behind friends and not looking back. Now a
Philadelphia homicide detective, Joan’s trying to put her traumas
to rest. It’s not easy. Elijah Weston, the classmate who torched
her house, is out of prison and returning to Missoula. Gut instinct
tells Joan he’ll strike again. To stop him, she must return to
the past as well. To face not only the man she fears but Detective
Gideon Bailey, too. The man she loved and left behind. When a local
woman dies tragically in another fire, it can’t be a coincidence.
Can it be Elijah? He has a solid alibi for the night of the blaze.
Reunited by the tragedy, Joan and Gideon have their doubts. So does
Gideon’s sister, Ann—Joan’s old college roommate. The
investigation draws Joan and Gideon together, but it also sends
them down a dangerous path—into a troubling history that Joan,
Elijah, and Ann all share. As more lives go up in flames in
Missoula, this town’s secrets are just beginning to rise from the
ashes.
This is the story of a remarkable organisation of white South
African women who carved out a unique role for themselves in
opposing the injustices of apartheid and working towards a free and
democratic country. It is written by Mary Burton, herself national
president of the Black Sash for many years and, later, one of the
Truth and Reconciliation commissioners. Her book answers many of
the questions that members often ask: What brought the Black Sash
into being? What kept it alive for so many decades? How did an
organisation of mainly white, middle-class, privileged women create
and sustain a viable body that eventually made its contribution to
the collapse of apartheid? What was it like to be involved in it?
And what can we learn from its history that will teach us to be
activists again? This is a story of hard work and dedication, of
small victories won little by little against the odds, of personal
courage in the face of injustice and repression, of vision,
compassion and caring. It is a uniquely South African story. As
Mary Burton says, "Joining the Balck Sash influenced the course of
my life. Its leaders were an inspiring example and its members
became friends and colleagues. It prompted me to join other
organisations committed to the same ideals, and to study more about
South Africa and its history. It was owing to the Black Sash that
many of us were offered opportunities to serve the new society
created after 1990, working for the elections, contributing to the
new Constitution, taking part in the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission, or participating in the new government structures."

She's hunting. He's watching. Special Agent Macy Crow is a
survivor. After a vicious hit-and-run nearly kills her, she gets
right back to work, and now she's gunning for a spot on the FBI's
elite profiling team. As an audition, she offers to investigate the
recently discovered bones of Tobi Turner, a high school girl who
disappeared fifteen years ago. While investigating with local
sheriff Mike Nevada, a former colleague and onetime lover, Macy
discovers a link between Tobi's case and several others that
occurred around the same time as her disappearance. As Macy
interviews victims and examines old cases, she uncovers a sinister
picture of a stalker who graduated to sexual assault-and then
murder. Macy and Nevada race to put this monster behind bars before
he can come out of hiding. But the murderer's had years to hone his
skills, and soon Macy herself becomes a target. She's no stranger
to pain and terror, but will Macy's first profiling case be her
last?
"This graphic history tells the story of Canada's first national
internment operations through the eyes of John Boychuk, an internee
held in Kapuskasing from 1914-17. The story is based on Boychuk's
actual memoir, which is the only comprehensive internee testimony
in existence. The novel follows Boychuk from his arrest in Toronto
to Kapuskasing, where he spends just over 3 years. It details the
everyday struggle of the internees in the camp, including forced
labour and exploitation, abuse from guards, malnutrition, and
homesickness. It also documents moments of internee agency and
resistance, such as work slowdowns and stoppages, hunger strikes,
escape attempts, and riots. Little is known about the lives of the
incarcerated once the paper trail stops, but Enemy Alien
subsequently traces Boychuk's parole, his search for work, his
attempts to organize a union, and his ultimate settlement in
Winnipeg. Boychuk's reflections emphasize the much broader context
in which internment takes place. This was not an isolated incident,
but rather part and parcel of Canadian nation building and the
directives of Canada's settler colonial project.

An unsolved crime pits a desperate woman against a relentless
killer in New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton's
heart-stopping novel of psychological suspense... Fourteen years
ago, Kaitlin Roe was the lone witness to the abduction of her
cousin Gina. She still remembers that lonely Virginia road. She can
still see the masked stranger and hear Gina's screams. And she
still suffers the guilt of running away in fear and resents being
interrogated as a suspect in the immediate aftermath. Now Kaitlin
has only one way to assuage the pain and nightmares-by interviewing
everyone associated with the unsolved crime for a podcast that
could finally bring closure to a case gone cold. But when a woman
Kaitlin questions is later found stabbed to death, she fears that
she's drawn a killer out of hiding. It's Detective John Adler's
fear that the murders have only just begun. Now his job is to keep
Kaitlin safe. As a bond between Kaitlin and Adler builds, the past
closes in just as fast-and it's darker than Kaitlin remembers.
Soon, her wish will come true. She's going to find out exactly what
happened to Gina. Someone has been dying to tell her.
Could it be that the most remote frontiers of twenty-first-century
exploration lie inside the human mind? Illustrated in kaleidoscopic
full colour, Wonder Drug is the graphic history of a controversial
and little-known medical research project carried out in the
Canadian prairies--one that championed LSD as a way to model
schizophrenia and cure ailments from alcoholism to depression.
Spanning the decades from the 1950s to present day, this
captivating story follows Anglo-Canadian psychiatrist Dr. Humphry
Osmond down the rabbit hole of psychedelic research, conducted both
in the lab and in his living room. Lurching from dazzling imagery
to fanged delusions, and studded with a cast of radical
personalities such as Aldous Huxley, Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey, and
Kay Parley, Wonder Drug is a trip like no other. As Osmond and his
colleagues grapple with professional isolation, a growing moral
panic, and the burgeoning War on Drugs, their growing body of
findings are maligned and misunderstood--but the promise of
pharmapolitical revolution is still on the horizon, and the radical
research in Weyburn, Saskatchewan may yet be realized.

Julia Vargas is a cop with a mission. When she's not chasing down
bad guys, Julia dedicates her time to investigating the Hangman
serial killer...the same unsolved case that her father, Jim Vargas,
was working on when he supposedly shot and killed himself three
decades before. While rumors continue to swirl around her father's
death, Julia attempts to hunt down the truth. The case once again
hits dangerously close, however, when a woman's bones are
discovered in a historic downtown home, together with a photograph
of Jim and Julia as a young girl. As horrifying as this discovery
is, it may just be the break Julia has waited for. Working
alongside Tobias Novak, a homicide detective with whom she shares a
complicated-and steamy-history, she's forced to confront her own
past even as the Hangman looms in the shadows. But as the
mysterious killer circles closer, Julia can feel her own noose
begin to tighten...
