KICKING THE SKY<br />

DE SA, ANTHONY<br />

On a steamy summer day in 1977, Emanuel Jaques was shining shoes in downtown Toronto. Surrounded<br />

by the strip clubs, bars and body rub parlors of Yonge Street, Emanuel was lured away from his friends by<br />

a man who promised some easy money. Four days later the boy's body was discovered. He had been<br />

brutally raped and murdered, and Toronto the Good would never be the same. The murder of the<br />

Shoeshine Boy had particularly tragic resonance for the city's Portuguese community. The loss of one of<br />

their own symbolized for many how far they were from realizing their immigrant dreams. Kicking the Sky<br />

is told from the perspective of one of these children, Antonio Rebelo, a character first introduced in<br />

Barnacle Love. Twelve-year-old Antonio prizes his life of freedom and adventure. He and his best friends,<br />

Manny and Ricky, spend their days on their bikes exploring the labyrinth of laneways that link their<br />

Portuguese neighborhood to the rest of the city. But as the details of Emanuel's death expose Toronto's<br />

seedier underbelly, the boys are pulled into an adult world of danger and cruelty, secrets and lies much<br />

closer to home.<br />

THE KILL LIST<br />

FORSYTH, FREDERICK<br />

In Virginia, there is an agency bearing the bland name of Technical Operations Support Activity, or TOSA.<br />

Its one mission is to track, find, and kill those so dangerous to the United States that they are on a short<br />

document known as the Kill List. TOSA actually exists. So does the Kill List. Added to it is a new name: a<br />

terrorist of frightening effectiveness called the Preacher, who radicalizes young Muslims abroad to carry<br />

out assassinations. Unfortunately for him, one of the kills is a retired Marine general, whose son is<br />

TOSA’s top hunter of men. He has spent the last six years at his job. He knows nothing about his target’s<br />

name, face, or location. He realizes his search will take him to places where few could survive. But the<br />

Preacher has made it personal now. The hunt is on.<br />
