Books of the Month
Sanctuary
by Garry Disher
Grace is a thief-a good one. But she’s always on the move, always looking over her shoulder, always alone. It’s not the life she wants. Then a run-in with an old associate forces her to lie low in a small rural town, where she happens across
an antique shop. The owner Erin is timid but friendly, and has a room to rent. And Grace glimpses a different life, and perhaps a home.
But there are dangerous men watching her, and Grace should now better then to let her guard slip. Because no matter how far she runs, her past is always a few steps behind.

What Happened to Nina?
by Dervla McTiernan
Nina and Simon are the perfect couple. Young, fun and deeply in love. Until they leave for a weekend at his family’s cabin in Vermont, and only Simon comes home.
Nobody knows. Simon’s explanation about what happened in their last hours together doesn’t add up. Nina’s parents push the police for answers, and Simon’s parents rush to protect him. They hire expensive lawyers and a PT firm that quickly raps up a vicious, nothing-is-off-limits media campaign.
Soon facts are lost in a swirl of accusation and counter-accusation. Everyone chooses a side, and the story goes viral.
Nina’s family is under siege, but they never lose sight of the only thing that really matters – finding their daughter. Out-gunned by Simon’s wealthy, powerful family, Nina’s parents recognize that if playing by the rules won’t get them anywhere, its time to break them.
