Hamish Cameron Investigates
Hamish Cameron is a retired judge who becomes a sleuth when he notices that things are not quite right at his retirement home. New Dawn is located in the idyllic Nova Scotia seaside town of Ashcroft-by-the-Sea. When his friend John Devlin dies, he rightly suspects that the residents are being used as guinea pigs for testing anti-ageing medications and are being defrauded of their estates. Success in bringing the perpetrators to justice brings Hamish further commissions to track down sabotage at the local paper mill, and to investigate dirty tricks in Wednesday night sailboat races. Hamish uses his political connections, the hacking skills of Sean Carroll, and the advice of his long-time lady friend and law professor Izzie French to ferret out what is going on. The novel is well rooted in its Maritimes' setting and in a demographic that is increasingly important. This is the first volume of a series, The ABC Files, devoted to Hamish Cameron and Sean Carroll. It should appeal to readers of English village mysteries and to devotees of Louise Penny and Eric Wright.

A Glimpse of the Dragon - Beyond the Great Wall
When Jan made the hasty decision to trade her career as a Tour Guide in an underground sapphire mine in Central Queensland, Australia, for a year of teaching English in Inner Mongolia, China, she had no inkling of what was in store. At her destination were her elder son, his Chinese wife, a first grandson (whom she'd never met), and a host of Chinese in-laws who spoke no English. Her younger son was a reluctant travelling companion.Culture-shocked to her core, she describes the challenges, humorous and tragic, of meeting new family and teaching in a foreign land where characters are as diverse as events are bizarre: readers are led through schoolrooms, market-places, cafes and smoky mah-jong parlours. "Invented" credentials, family tensions, a collapsing ceiling, and her unrequited lust for a younger man make this book a riveting read.
