Fish, Blood and Bone
by Leslie ForbesClaire Fleetwood, an American forensic photographer, is ardent about love and scientific work - in this she is a characteristic Leslie Forbes heroine. When Claire inherits a big house and garden in London from relatives she never knew she had, she imagines it will be a slice of the English dream. But after the brutal murder of her best friend, right in the garden of her new property, everything changes. Fish, Blood and Bone is a haunting, richly layered novel about this vulnerable young woman's quest to discover not only the motive behind her friend's death but the truth about her family's past. Claire soon decides to join a scientific expedition to India led by her cousin Jack Ironstone, for he is involved with the men whom she suspects are responsible for the murder. Her journey takes her away from Whitechapel, the claustrophobic London neighborhood (made famous long ago by Jack the Ripper) in which her garden is located, to Calcutta and thence to the wild "paradise" valleys leading to Tibet. There the expedition will search for a rare green poppy containing elements vital for a new cancer medicine, but Claire also encounters the traces of her ancestors - the Fleetwoods who were active in the opium trade a century before. In fact her route parallels the path taken by Claire's distant relative Magda Ironstone and a mysterious botanist a hundred years earlier, during Britain's Great Triangulation of India. As Claire reconstructs this love affair, she begins to find the missing pieces to her family's puzzle, and her roots, previously a buried mystery, become clearer. This dazzling novel of loss and regeneration weaves together the stories of three extraordinary families in an epic adventure. Leslie Forbes was born in Vancouver.

Fisherman's Bend
by Linda GreenlawThe exciting debut of a snappy, spirited, and irresistible mystery series from beloved and bestselling author Linda GreenlawIn her bestselling nonfiction book All Fishermen Are Liars, Linda Greenlaw confessed a desire to write fiction--and readers responded with an enthusiastic "Please do!" At last, she satisfies their hunger with this sharp-witted, compulsively readable mystery, the first in a series featuring marine investigator Jane Bunker.When Jane moves back to the sleepy Maine fishing community where she was born, it's to escape the seamy crime scenes and unsavory characters that crossed her path in Miami. Surely whatever crimes are committed in touristy, idyllic Green Haven won't involve anything as nasty as what she saw in Florida. It's a bit of a shock, then, when Nick Dow, the town drunk, turns up dead, and it's not the simple accident that everyone assumes it to be. Jane soon discovers that Dow wasn't even a drunk--it was all an act. But why? And what does it have to do with a heated town hall meeting about fishing rights and paternity suits? The more Jane digs, the more confused she gets. Only two things are certain: Nothing is what it seems; and the whole town is in each other's business. But it's not until Jane impulsively hops on a boat with the killer--a boat that suddenly heads out to sea--that things become downright dangerous . . .As she proved in The Hungry Ocean, no one knows the sea like Linda Greenlaw. And as she proved in The Lobster Chronicles, no one has a better way with the telling details of Maine village life. This new mystery series features everything readers want: a great setting, wonderful characters, an authentic and original detective--and a story that will keep them on the edge of their seats.
Fisherman's Bend
by Linda GreenlawAfter solving a murder and surviving a couple of attempts on her life, Jane Bunker believes she's finally earned a respite from murder and intrigue. But if she thinks it's time for her to soak up the peace and quiet she's been seeking, she should think again. On her way back from a routine investigation into some smashed equipment, Jane takes a moment to appreciate the beauty of a Maine autumn—there's the sublime rainbow foliage of the highlands, the serene reflections of the setting sun on the bay's gentle waves, the elegant silhouette of a lobster boat on the bay. But her calm lasts only as long as it takes for Jane to make the chilling discovery that the vessel is in serious trouble with nobody aboard—and that its owner has vanished without a trace. And that's the least of the mysteries. A young mariner dead of a heroin overdose; the real agenda of a charismatic Indian leader; a missing bait iron and a corpse painted red—nothing is what it seems. Fisherman's Bend brings us Greenlaw's pitch-perfect ear for all things maritime. From the eccentric denizens of little Green Haven—Audrey, the punk rock waitress, the delightful Vickersons with their all-mussel cookbook—to the dark undercurrents that run beneath this seemingly idyllic coastal village, Greenlaw's flair for combining humor and Down East flavor with roller-coaster suspense makes this a mystery that will grab you hook, line, and sinker.
