Roof Over our Heads
by Marguerite DicksonWhen Georgia Lane has to leave Boston to live in Lane's Cove, she feels it is the end of everything. Ten years before, when her father was killed in an automobile accident, Mrs. Lane had gone to Boston with six-year-old Georgia and found a job. At sixteen, Georgia is happy in school and in her friendship with Lorraine Fitzgerald. It is a blow to have to leave her busy city life, and go back to a small Maine town. But Mrs. Lane has lost her job, and when Great-aunt Susan Burnham's will leaves the house to Mrs. Lane, there is no choice. It is a roof over their heads. Before they go back, Mrs. Lane courageously tells her daughter the truth. The day Mr. Lane was killed, $10,000 was missing from the bank where he worked. The money was never found, so Mrs. Lane sold their home and turned the money from the sale over to the bank, to cover the loss. Mother and daughter return to a town where people remember what happened. They find good neighbors in old friends, the Aliens. The son, Vee—Vincent Lockwood Allen, IV— is a senior at the high school, where Georgia is a junior. He drives "little George," as he promptly nicknames her, to school every day, along with Mona Fairchild and Curt Kennedy, also neighbors. Mona's antagonism to Georgia,- and her pointed, slighting references to her father, add to Georgia's misery. Herb Small, Great-aunt Susan's nephew, insists that his aunt intended the Burnham house for him, and his efforts to find a missing will to prove this, add to the confusion. Georgia makes a place for herself at school, and in her spare time remodels the old house. Lorraine comes for a summer visit, and the two girls help put on an Ancestors' Fashion Show in town. Uppermost in Georgia's mind, however, is the mystery of the missing $10,000, but every clue leads up a blind alley. She determines to solve the mystery and clear her father's name, and her efforts to do so make a story that builds to a dramatic and a completely logical climax. (12-16) This is a Junior Literary Guild selection, chosen as an out standing book for older readers (B Group).

They find an urgent message—HELP ME—written on a piece of silk tacked behind a long-forgotten portrait.

And from one phone call to that apartment, the men unleash a nefarious plot and brutal security forces long thought vanquished. Events begin to cascade without mercy, and Stag—a broken man from the Midwest—finds himself pitted against a vestige of the Third Reich with powerful forces ensuring the propagation of Heydrich’s infamous SD—Nazi’s intelligence agency—in today’s world.

Room No. 10
by Åke EdwardsonA YOUNG WOMAN IS DISCOVERED hanged in a room in a decrepit hotel, and Gothenburg's Chief Inspector Erik Winter must try to figure out what happened. As Winter looks around, he realizes that he was in the same hotel room many years earlier, when it was the last known location of a woman who subsequently disappeared and was never found. The two women seem to have nothing in common except for this hotel room, but Winter suspects that there may be other connections. The young woman's parents are bereft and unable to explain the puzzling contents of a note she left behind.

Room Number 3 and Other Detective Stories
by Anna Katharine Greennna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was an American poet and novelist. She was one of the first writers of detective fiction in America and distinguished herself by writing well plotted, legally accurate stories (no doubt assisted by her lawyer father). Born in Brooklyn, New York, her early ambition was to write romantic verse, and she corresponded with Ralph Waldo Emerson. When her poetry failed to gain recognition, she produced her first and best known novel, The Leavenworth Case (1878). She became a bestselling author, eventually publishing about 40 books. She was in some ways a progressive woman for her time-succeeding in a genre dominated by male writers-but she did not approve of many of her feminist contemporaries, and she was opposed to women's suffrage. Her other works include A Strange Disappearance (1880), The Affair Next Door (1897), The Circular Study (1902), The Filigree Ball (1903), The Millionaire Baby (1905), The House in the Mist (1905), The Woman in the Alcove (1906), The House of the Whispering Pines (1910), Initials Only (1912) and The Mystery of the Hasty Arrow (1917).
The Room of White Fire
by T. Jefferson ParkerFor fans of Michael Connelly and C. J. Box: a stirring thriller from New York Times bestseller and award winner T. Jefferson Parker. In The Room of White Fire, a P.I. must hunt down a soldier who is damaged by war, dangerous, and on the run. A young soldier escaped from a mental institution. A P.I. carrying his own wounds hired to track that soldier down. A race against the clock to bring the soldier home before he reveals the secret that haunts him. Roland Ford—once a cop, then a marine, now a private investigator—is good at finding people. But when he’s asked to locate Air Force veteran Clay Hickman, he realizes he’s been drawn into something deep and dark. He knows war, having served as a Marine in first Fallujah; he also knows personal pain, as only two years have passed since his wife, Justine, died. What he doesn’t know is why a shroud of secrecy hangs over the disappearance of Clay Hickman—and why he’s getting a different story from everyone involved. To begin with, there’s Sequoia, the teenage woman who helped Clay escape; she’s smart enough to fend off Ford’s questions but impetuous enough to be on the run with an armed man. Then there’s Paige Hulet, Clay’s doctor, who clearly cares deeply for his welfare but is impossible to read, even as she inspires in Ford the first desire he has felt since his wife’s death. And there’s Briggs Spencer, the proprietor of the mental institution who is as enigmatic as he is brash, and ambitious to the point of being ruthless. What could Clay possibly know to make this search so desperate? What began as just a job becomes a life-or-death obsession for Ford, pitting him against immensely powerful and treacherous people and forcing him to contend with chilling questions about truth, justice, and the American way.
