Don't Say a Word
by Allison Brennan
The police ruled Elijah Martinez's death an accidental drug overdose, but the teen's grieving mother isn't convinced. With the case officially closed, Angelhart Investigations is the only one who can help her find the truth. Margo Angelhart's sure this will be an easy solve--she'll talk to Elijah's friends and employer, retrace his steps, and figure out what happened in his final hours. Except none of his friends believe he did drugs, and the teacher who's been vocal about the police mishandling the case turns up dead. Every thread Margo pulls leads back to a dangerous drug ring that once ran through the school. When Margo's brother Jack, a former cop, can't get straight answers out of the police, they don't know if it's because of an active case--or a cover-up. Margo's only sure of one thing--she has to find out what really happened to Elijah before more teens become pawns in a twisted scheme.

Clive Cussler the Iron Storm
by Jack Du Brul
Van Dorn agent Isaac Bell knows that when the President of the United States asks you to undertake a special mission, the only appropriate answer is, 'Right away, sir.' As an official observer, Bell is supposed to avoid action, but that's like asking a fish to shun water. After battling in the trenches, he finds himself flying beside a group of Allied aviators, unwilling to let them fight alone, even when they are faced with capture. Bell and his compatriots are imprisoned in a medieval castle, one that's withstood the test of time and countless assaults by conventional weapons in its history. Escape lies tantalizingly close, but only with the help of the latest in battlefield technology. But freedom may be short-lived.

Songs of Love on a December Night
by David Adams Richards
When Colonel Musselman is found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, a rumour soon surfaces that he was murdered by his own teenage son, Jamie. As weeks, months and years pass, Jamie--shy and withdrawn but brilliant--continues to maintain his innocence. Yet few others, besides his fiance, Gertie, believe him. Suspected, harassed and questioned, Jamie is finally tried and convicted of the crime. But nothing is as it seems. Before the murder, unlikely alliances between a self-styled revolutionary recently expelled from university, a young man claiming Indigenous heritage, and Gertie's own hapless father had long ago set the stage for intrigue and bloodletting. As the aftermath of this crime threatens to destroy both the innocent and the guilty, it is left to a few citizens who have been dismissed and overlooked to solve what the others, blinded by their arrogance and personal vanity, refuse to admit. Richly conceived and utterly fearless in its examination of morality, justice, prejudice and corruption.
