What do you do when your son is arrested for murder? Sharon Gibson, a Hamilton, Ontario, Emergency Room nurse and divorced mother of Alicia (14) and Christian (17), doesn’t have things easy. Dealing with her ex-husband, juggling night shifts in Emergency, and parenting her kids take up her time. Then Christian starts skipping school, coming home late or, worse, staying out all night.

Then, she discovers Christian is missing. When the dust finally settles, Christian is in jail for a crime Sharon knows he couldn’t possibly have committed.

Assisted Living & Modern Times
Two new plays from the pen of psychiatrist/author, David Laing Dawson. Modern Times, Almost a Musical 70 minute one act play Lost souls, smart phones, unattended packages. Saints, sinners, and an angel on call. A play that asks the question, "Is it possible to love Rob Ford and Mike Duffy at the same time, and, if not, well, who wants that last piece of pumpkin pie?"

The authors present a conceptual model, based on self psychology and interpersonal theory, for reframing the borderline symptoms and the therapist's reactions.

For the first time in one place, Roger M. Sobin has compiled a list of nominees and award winners of virtually every mystery award ever presented. He has also included many of the “best of” lists by more than fifty of the most important contributors to the genre.; Mr. Sobin spent more than two decades gathering the data and lists in this volume, much of that time he used to recheck the accuracy of the material he had collected. Several of the “best of” lists appear here for the first time in book form. Several others have been unavailable for a number of years.; Of special note, are Anthony Boucher’s “Best Picks for the Year.” Boucher, one of the major mystery reviewers of all time, reviewed for The San Francisco Chronicle, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, and The New York Times. From these resources Mr. Sobin created “Boucher’s Best” and “Important Lists to Consider,” lists that provide insight into important writing in the field from 1942 through Boucher’s death in 1968.? This is a great resource for all mystery readers and collectors.; ; Winner of the 2008 Macavity Awards for Best Mystery Nonfiction.
