VICIOUS CIRCLE
SMITH, WILBUR
When Hector Cross’s new life is overturned, he immediately recognizes the ruthless hand of an enemy he
has faced many times before: a terrorist group has re-emerged – like a deadly scorpion from beneath its
rock. Determined to fight back, Hector draws together a team of his most loyal friends from his former life
in Cross Bow Security, a company originally contracted to protect his beloved wife, Hazel Bannock, and
her company, the Bannock Oil Corp. They travel to the remotest Middle East, to hunt down those who
pursue him and his loved ones. For Hazel and Hector have a child, a precious daughter, who he will go to
the ends of the earth to protect. And brutal figures from the Bannock family’s past – thought long-gone –
are returning, with an agenda so sinister that Hector realizes he is facing a new breed of enemy.

VIENNA NOCTURNE
SHOTWELL, VIVIEN
Vienna Nocturne tells the story of the turbulent life and brilliantly successful career of young British opera
singer Anna Storace, a child prodigy who is taken by her parents to Italy at age thirteen to advance her
career. In love with life and wildly ambitious, Anna wants everything--to be famous, to be loved--and this
leads her to make some fatal choices. We watch her turn from a carefree young girl to a passionate
young woman, and it is during this transformation that her affair with Mozart blossoms. The story of their
love, no less powerful for being forbidden, is reminiscent of the passionate thwarted romances described
in Loving Frank and Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Written in melodious prose by a young
author studying opera at Yale, Vienna Nocturne is dramatic story of a woman’s battle to find love and
fame in an 18th-century world that controls and limits her at every turn.

KIRBY, PETER
Luc Vanier is back, and Montreal's Hochelaga district is in the throes of gentrification. Its drug dealers and
prostitutes are disappearing, and Vanier, investigating the death of one, suspects the neighbourhood
cleanup may involve murdering the unwanted. The Police Commander sees only declining crime rates
and his career, and is willing to go easy on a militia group that’s expanding its influence. When Vanier is
suspended for brutality, he’s on his own. He continues to probe the dark side of progress, while struggling
to help his son, just back from Afghanistan and crippled by PTSD. As the threats against him mount,
Vanier fights to prove his innocence and discover who really controls the streets.
