Cold Case in the Cariboo
by Robert Boyd
Vernon Buckingham disappeared in 1969. At the time, all anyone knew was that he had gone on a hunting trip in the Cariboo region and never returned. But when human remains are found in the woods near Quesnel twenty-eight years later, Buckingham’s grim fate is finally confirmed. His case is re-opened, and soon after, Stewart Carlson—one of Buckingham’s disgruntled ex-employees—is charged with his murder. Outraged, Carlson insists that he is innocent and hires defence attorney Russell Saunders to represent him in court. Saunders, in turn, calls on private investigator Brent McRae to find out what really happened in 1969. As McRae interviews Buckingham’s family members and professional acquaintances, he discovers that Carlson is not the only person with a grudge against the deceased. From clandestine affairs to a cutthroat company takeover, Buckingham’s past is coloured with scandal. The deeper McRae delves into Buckingham’s history, the more danger he finds himself in, but with Carlson’s trial fast approaching, he cannot stop until he uncovers the true culprit behind Buckingham’s death.

The Sun Within
Atomic Energy and Life by Ole Hendrickson
Life on Earth depends on the Sun’s atomic energy, incorporated into plants through photosynthesis. Our bodies are made up of elements produced by past generations of stars, connecting us to processes occurring throughout the Universe. The Sun Within explores the connections between nuclear physics and biology and examines the mysterious and fascinating ways that energy sustains life. It reviews the somewhat startling theory that living organisms obtain energy directly from low energy nuclear reactions within their cells, transmuting elements and isotopes. This has been proposed by researchers for many decades, but has not yet been accepted by mainstream science. This book has the potential to revolutionize physics and biology. Courageous scientists who are willing to challenge current dogma, and who are intrigued by these ideas, can test them using techniques suggested by the author.

After Today
by A. Art de Jong
The story of two families, separated by distance and years of turmoil, finding the way to reconnect through circumstance, coincidence and effort. Their story is one of positive affirmation that family love removes all barriers. In the background of their efforts to reunite, is their recognition that bullying, disrespect and hate will challenge everyone in some way during their life. The world, however, is filled with many who challenge the wrongs with unconditional love and support. This story is a compelling generational sequel to the authors first book about these families and reinforces the true value of family. Born in the Netherlands in 1949, the author arrived in Canada at the age of 3 and lived in rural Western Canada for most of his life. Challenged by family poverty and his social challenges, the author experienced the trauma of bullying firsthand but with family support, moved on to adult careers and ultimate retirement, having been blessed with a rewarding life. The author’s farm life during his childhood and teen years and his lifelong love for horses gave him the memories and experiences he shared in his stories. This second book is the author’s statement that anything is possible if we can find the courage in ourselves to try and the willingness to accept the support we need to succeed.

Where Time Stands Still
by Andrew Retchless
Jamie should have known something was up when he stumbled in out of the snow and they’d saved him a cup of coffee. For the city-worn Montrealer, the village of Sneaky Hollow is a badly needed breath of fresh air, but it’s also, he begins to discover, a place that shouldn’t exist. Nestled somewhere between the backroads of the Eastern Townships and a wrinkle in time, Sneaky Hollow gives Jamie exactly what he needs; a home, a community, and a madcap touch of magic that never fails to delight him. But as outside forces threaten to iron out that wrinkle and erase Sneaky Hollow for good, Jamie teams up with a determined young woman and a crowd of eccentric café regulars with a shared goal. That goal is simple (in theory): to uncover the mysteries of this wonderful place, to understand why it called them to it, and pull together enough maple syrup–fuelled resistance to save it. A cozy, magical-realist village novel that imagines memories with a gravity of their own, Where Time Stands Still is a charm-and-nostalgia pie topped with a pinch of quantum physics (just for spice). Whether you're longing for a place that feels like home, or wondering if such places still exist, this book answers with a warm yes, and then invites you to stay awhile.
