By Bruns, Donc2009., Adult, Oceanview Edition: eBook ed. Series Title: Mike Sever mysteries Volume: 5Summary Note: "For rock and roll writer Mick Sever, another story, another deadly island paradise is all in a day's work. This time, Mick heads to Nassau, Bahamas, home of the legendary Highland Studio. Known for pumping out hits that burn up the charts, Highland is where the magic happens-or rather, where the magic happened until a devastating fire destroyed the entire studio. No one knows how the fire started, who started it-or whose body was found among the charred ruins. Sent to get the inside story on the opening of the new Highland Studio, Mick finds this is hardly the Phoenix-rising-out-of-the-ashes story he expected. Some say the studio's haunted, some say it's cursed, but one thing is for sure: someone-or something-wants to stop the music. A smashed guitar and erased tracks send a subtle warning, but murder? That's an entirely different tune. If Mick doesn't act fast, Highland Studio, along with everything and everyone in its path, could go up in smoke.It's not always better to burn out than to fade away."--Inside front jacket.

2022., Adult, Doubleday Canada Call No: BLK Fic Mat Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: For readers of Frying Plantain and Scarborough, a luminous, mesmerizing collection of linked stories about the lives of woman and girls in The Bahamas, from rising literary star and Governor General's Award-finalist Janice Lynn Mather. Set against the vivid backdrop of The Bahamas, these eighteen beautiful and haunting stories introduce us to women and girls searching for identity and belonging during moments of profound upheaval. These women are bold and big-hearted, complex and intimately familiar. They grapple with the bonds of kinship and the responsibilities of parenthood, with grief, longing, betrayal, coming of age and what it means to be a woman. In Mango Summer, little girls begin disappearing from their beds during one lush, steaming August. In Morning Swim, a jogger, newly diagnosed with cancer, makes a sinister discovery on the beach. Nassau wakes up to blood-red water pouring from its taps after a pastor decries witchcraft in Drinking Water. In Boyo, a woman new to Vancouver struggles to plant roots in a city that doesn't seem to want her or her young son. These stories are at once deeply grounded and tinged with folkoric and surreal elements--and all speak to the beauty and brutality of being alive.
