Historical

The world teeters on a precipice: U.S. Intelligence is obsessed with Iraq. Europe is in flux with neo-nazis and Iran is about to procure nuclear clout. Tatya is beside herself. Her grandfather has stayed behind in Russia and now he's gone missing. Sergei Yussoupov insists his ex brother-in-law, Ernst, has kidnapped him, but Sergei's credibility is questionable. Tatya still suspects he's selling nuclear materials to terrorists. She can't trust his word on anything. She goes to the CIA. They tell her it's none of their business. She goes to the State Department. They won't have anything to do with her. Tatya's never felt so alone. There's no one left to turn to. Enter the Israeli Mossad. They care. They'll help. They'll get her grandfather back for her. For a price...

True Crime

History, mystery and humour meld in Every Life Counted. Why did Maureen Ross run away from her family and why is her daughter filled with such dread about what she might learn? These are the questions triggered by Every Life Counted, the book Morgan Ross is reading about an Irish clan’s experiences in Saint John from 1849 to 1945. Recalling her mother’s words, "Every charm is a chapter", she begins her search by examining the bracelet she has inherited, certain the answers are locked within the charms. They are, but Morgan is not prepared for the discoveries she makes. Two tales, like the strands in a DNA molecule, entwine to create Every Life Counted, a novel about family love and its redemptive power.
