Twenty Crime Stories by: Karen Blake-Hall, Vicki Delany, Elizabeth Hosang, P.M. Jones, N.J. Lindquist, Rosemary McCracken, Lynne Murphy, Helen Nelson, Sue Pike, A.J. Richards, Steve Shrott, Madona Skaff, Tracy L. Ward, Sylvia Maultash Warsh, Linda Wiken. Editor: Janet Costello The Toronto Chapter of Sisters in Crime is celebrating its twentieth anniversary with this anthology of twenty stories penned by fifteen Canadian Crime writers. Selected by a blind judging process, the stories are cozy and noir, humorous and poignant, historical and current. There are amateur sleuths and professionals-cops, private detectives and one or two you won't see coming. The protagonists are women, men and children. The settings are varied too, within Canada, the U.S., the United Kingdom, Vietnam and an unnamed exotic locale. These authors are young and young at heart-established authors and those who are being published for the first time. And while most are female, there is also one male author in this collection.

His only clues are a Book of Proverbs and a small painted pin left with the victims. And the list of suspects is growing ...

Measured for Murder

By: Janet Brons

The third instalment in the Arthur Ellis award-nominated Forsyth and Hay mystery series. Detective Chief Inspector Stephen Hay of Scotland Yard believes he is dealing with a serial killer. Two young female victims bearing a superficial resemblance to each other are found asphyxiated and posed, with indecipherable writing on their right hips. A hostel caretaker, a journalist and his photographer, a bariatric specialist, the Canadian High Commission in London, and a psychic all have roles to play in the ongoing investigations—and are unsettled at the thought that the killer is already seeking his next victim. Meanwhile, Inspector Liz Forsyth of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and DCI Hay had plans to meet again, unofficially this time, but their anticipated trip to Paris was scotched by the killings on Hay’s patch. To the surprise of both of them, Forsyth learns that she is to be sent for a three-week training course at the Bramshill Police Academy outside London. In this jarring third novel in the Forsyth and Hay series, Janet Brons explores the murder and mayhem inflicted on the women who just might be Measured for Murder.

Tempt Me If You Can

By: Janet Chapman

The second book in the Sinclaire Brothers trilogy from Janet Chapman. He’ll play by her rules until she falls for him...hook, line and sinker. When an anonymous letter stuns shipping magnate and confirmed bachelor Ben Sinclair with the news that he has a teenage son, he's determined to make good on the past. But Emma Sands doesn't trust him. The beautiful, fiery blonde has raised her nephew in the peaceful woods of Maine since he was five, and just because fifteen-year-old Michael is the spitting image of his tall, handsome father doesn't give Ben the right to march in and change their lives forever. Or so she thinks, until his return mysteriously unearths a dangerous small-town secret. With Michael's help, Ben will do whatever it takes to prove to fiercely independent Emma that he can be the fearless protector she never knew she wanted... and the passionate lover she always thought she could resist.

Bit Player

A Jeri Howard Mystery

By: Janet Dawson

“Delightful....In flashbacks, Dawson does a fine job bringing WWII-era Los Angeles to life.” -Publishers Weekly (2/28/11) What now remains of Hollywood's Golden Era? A wealth of publicity materials was distributed nationwide to theaters, but they were usually treated as rubbish and disposed of when each movie finished its run. However, a surprising number of posters, still production photos, lobby cards, inserts, title cards, and the like have survived, and some of these memorabilia are of enormous value to collectors. Like any objects of value, these occasionally motivate crimes-sometimes even murder. PI Jeri Howard scours Northern California from the Bay Area to Sonoma County to the Eastern Sierra, trying to connect events of sixty years ago with the murder of a prominent arts patron and avid collector of Hitchcock memorabilia-and learns a lot about her grandmother’s years as a bit player in Hollywood along the way. With frequent flashbacks to the late 1930s and early ’40s, Bit Player features the life of bit player Jerusha Layne, who may figure in the unsolved murder of an aspiring leading man.
