		<description><![CDATA[\"From acclaimed author Scott Sigler New York Times bestselling creator of Infected and Contagious comes a tale of genetic experimentation\'s worst nightmare come true. Every five minutes, a transplant candidate dies while waiting for a heart, a liver, a kidney.  Imagine a technology that could provide those life-saving transplant organs for a nominal fee ... and imagine what a company would do to get a monopoly on that technology. On a remote island in the Canadian Arctic, PJ Colding leads a group of geneticists who have discovered this holy grail of medicine. By reverse-engineering the genomes of thousands of mammals, Colding\'s team has dialed back the evolutionary clock to re-create humankind\'s common ancestor. The method? Illegal. The result? A computer-engineered living creature, an animal whose organs can be implanted in any person, and with no chance of transplant rejection. There\'s just one problem: these ancestors are not the docile herd animals that Colding\'s team envisioned. Instead, Colding\'s work has given birth to something big, something evil. With these killer creatures on the prowl, Colding and the woman he loves must fight to survive even as government agents close in to shut the project down, and the deep-pocketed company backing this research proves to have its own cold-blooded agenda.  As the creators become the prey in the ultimate battle for survival, Scott Sigler takes readers on the ultimate thrill-ride and offers a chilling cautionary account of what can happen when hubris, greed, and madness drive scientific experimentation past the brink of reason\"--from www.amazon.ca.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[\"Call her superficial, but Susie B. Anthony Rabinowitz Gersten assumed her marriage was great -- and why not? Jonah Gersten, M.D., a Park Avenue plastic surgeon, clearly adored her. He was handsome, successful, and a doting dad to their four-year-old triplets Dashiell, Evan, and Mason. But when Jonah is found in the Upper East Side apartment of second-rate \"escort\" Dorinda Dillon, Susie is overwhelmed with questions left unanswered. It\'s bad enough to know your husband\'s been murdered, but even worse when you\'re universally pitied (and quietly mocked) because of the sleaze factor. None of it makes sense to Susie -- not a sexual liaison with someone like Dorinda, not the \"better not to discuss it\" response from Jonah\'s partners. With help from her toughtalking, high-style Grandma Ethel who flies in from Miami, she takes on her snooty in-laws, her husband\'s partners, the NYPD, and the DA (is the person arrested for the homicide the actual perp, or just an easy mark for a prosecutor who hates the word \"unsolved\"?), as she tries to prove that her wonderful life with Jonah was no lie. Susan Isaacs brilliantly turns the conventions of the mystery on end as Susie Gersten, suburban mom, floral designer, and fashion plate, searches not so much for answers to her husband\'s death as for answers to her own life\"--from www.amazon.ca.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[\"Even the most die-hard baseball fans don\'t know the true story of William Blockade Billy Blakely. He may have been the greatest player the game has ever seen, but today no one remembers his name. He was the first--and only--player to have his existence completely removed from the record books. Even his team is long forgotten, barely a footnote in the game\'s history. Every effort was made to erase any evidence that William Blakely played professional baseball, and with good reason. Blockade Billy had a secret darker than any pill or injection that might cause a scandal in sports today. His secret was much, much worse... and only Stephen King, the most gifted storyteller of our age, can reveal the truth to the world, once and for all\"--from www.amazon.ca.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[\"When Special Agent Will Trent arrives in Grant County, he finds a police department determined to protect its own and far too many unanswered questions about a prisoner\'s death. He doesn\'t understand why Officer Lena Adams is hiding secrets from him. He doesn\'t understand her role in the death of Grant County\'s popular police chief. He doesn\'t understand why that man\'s widow, Dr. Sara Linton, needs him now more than ever to help her crack this case. While the police force investigates the murder of a young woman pulled from a frigid lake, Trent investigates the police force, putting pressure on Adams just when she\'s already about to crack. Caught between two complicated and determined women, trying to understand Linton\'s passionate distrust of Adams, the facts surrounding Chief Tolliver\'s death, and the complexities of this insular town, Trent will unleash a case filled with explosive secrets and encounter a thin blue line that could be murderous if crossed. Spellbinding and keenly paced, Broken is Karin Slaughter at her best. Here is an unforgettable story of raw emotions, dangerous assumptions, the deadly and layered game of betrayal, and a man\'s determination to expose the most painful of human truths no matter how deeply they\'re hidden . . . or how devastating\"--from www.amazon.ca.]]></description>

On Orcas Island, Fiona found the peace and solitude she needed to rebuild her life. But all that changes on the day Simon Doyle barrels up her drive, desperate for her help. He\'s the reluctant owner of an out-of-control puppy, foisted upon him by his mother. Jaws has eaten through Simon\'s house, and he\'s at his wit\'s end. To Fiona, Jaws is nothing she can\'t handle. Simon, however, is another matter. A newcomer to Orcas, he\'s a rugged and intensely private artist, known for the exquisite furniture he creates from wood. Simon never wanted a puppy--and he most definitely doesn\'t want a woman. Besides, the lanky redhead is not his type. But tell that to his hormones. As Fiona embarks on training Jaws, and Simon begins to appreciate both dog and trainer, the past tears back into Fiona\'s life. A copycat killer has emerged out of the shadows, a man whose bloodlust has been channeled by a master with one motive: to reclaim the woman who slipped out of his hands...\"--from www.amazon.ca.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[\"In his latest dark and chilling Charlie Parker thriller, New York Times bestselling author John Connolly takes us to the border between Maine and Canada. It is there, in the vast and porous Great North Woods, that a dangerous smuggling operation is taking place, run by a group of disenchanted former soldiers, newly returned from Iraq. Illicit goods drugs, cash, weapons, even people are changing hands. And something else has changed hands. Something ancient and powerful and evil.The authorities suspect something is amiss, but what they can\'t know is that it is infinitely stranger and more terrifying than anyone can imagine. Anyone, that is, except private detective Charlie Parker, who has his own intimate knowledge of the darkness in men\'s hearts. As the smugglers begin to die one after another in apparent suicides, Parker is called in to stop the bloodletting. The soldiers\' actions and the objects they have smuggled have attracted the attention of the reclusive Herod, a man with a taste for the strange. And where Herod goes, so too does the shadowy figure that he calls the Captain. To defeat them, Parker must form an uneasy alliance with a man he fears more than any other, the killer known as the Collector. . . .\"--from www.amazon.ca.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[\"Convicted of treason despite their heroic defense against Napoleon\'s invasion of England, Temeraire and Laurence stripped of rank and standing have been transported to the prison colony at New South Wales in distant Australia, where, it is hoped, they cannot further corrupt the British Aerial Corps with their dangerous notions of liberty for dragons. Temeraire and Laurence carry with them three dragon eggs intended to help establish a covert in the colony and destined to be handed over to such second-rate, undesirable officers as have been willing to accept so remote an assignment including one former acquaintance, Captain Rankin, whose cruelty once cost a dragon its life. Nor is this the greatest difficulty that confronts the exiled dragon and rider: Instead of leaving behind all the political entanglements and corruptions of the war, Laurence and Temeraire have instead sailed into a hornet\'s nest of fresh complications. For the colony at New South Wales has been thrown into turmoil after the overthrow of the military governor, one William Bligh better known as Captain Bligh, late of HMS Bounty. Bligh wastes no time in attempting to enlist Temeraire and Laurence to restore him to office, while the upstart masters of the colony are equally determined that the new arrivals should not upset a balance of power precariously tipped in their favor. Eager to escape this political quagmire, Laurence and Temeraire take on a mission to find a way through the forbidding Blue Mountains and into the interior of Australia. But when one of the dragon eggs is stolen from Temeraire, the surveying expedition becomes a desperate race to recover it in time a race that leads to a shocking discovery and a dangerous new obstacle in the global war between Britain and Napoleon\"--from www.amazon.ca.]]></description>
