Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Josie Marshall deals with the death of her detective husband, Gabe, found naked outside their home on the beach with a bullet in his brain. Everyone calls it suicide. Josie knows it isn't . . . but fears it could be. After all, she had provided Gabe with a motive. The clues are so strong that even Josie begins to believe Gabe shot himself. But when a horrific slaying occurs literally at her feet, she knows Gabe was murdered, and her determination to prove it carries her toward dark corners of the beach strip and exposes the darker sides of its residents. Fending off her fears with humour and outrage, she encounters a drug-crazed drifter, an organized crime boss with romance on his mind, a woman with a murderous past and a pervert who's been frequenting her garden shed. When a chance remark leads Josie to the astonishing truth of Gabe's death, her story takes a shocking turn that no one could have seen coming.

2020., Milner & Associates Inc. Call No: 971.3 B918w Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: The sinking of HMS Speedy in 1804 off Presqu'ile Point was more than a tragic event for the families of the twenty souls onboard the ship - it had shocking and far-reaching repercussions for the young colony of Upper Canada. At the centre of it all is Ogetonicut, a Mississauga First Nations man charged with murdering John Sharp, a white trader. As Ogetonicut's trial drew near, the authorities in York moved it to Newcastle for fear of angering the indigenous community amidst growing tensions between the British and Americans. With the shipping season coming to a close, the HMS Speedy set sail with the accused and the legal elite of the young colony on board. But on the night of October 8, the Speedy was lost in a violent storm; there were no survivors and the ship could not be found. The mystery surrounding the ill-fated ship has continued for more than two centuries, despite the efforts of commercial diver Ed Burtt, who began a search for the Speedy in the early 1990s. Were the remains he located at the bottom of Lake Ontario from the lost ship? Were valuable copies of the Statutes of Upper Canada on board? What evidence lay in the untouched artifacts Burtt found? Based on unparalleled access to archival documents and to all Ed Burtt's unpublished research and records, this is a meticulously researched look at a fascinating episode in Canadian history - the story of the ship and those who sailed her; the modern-day search for the wreck; a First Nations protagonist and perspective; the legal personalities and colonial government of the time - and a unique social history of early Canada.
