  Book 20: Lovely Lethal GardensRiches to rags. ... Time heals all wounds, ... but old deeds still haunt, ... even for the innocent!After helping the captain solve his long overdue case, Doreen’s reputation is well and truly cemented in Kelowna. That’s proven out when a young woman is murdered in her own apartment, and the police start looking at the boyfriend. With the town on edge, this young man seeks out Doreen’s help to prove his innocence.Corporal Mack Moreau is back to light duty work—mostly keeping an eye on Doreen, if the captain has any say in it. It’s hardly a hardship, as he loves being around her, when she’s not dipping her toes in his active cases. And yet somehow she manages to find old cases that dovetail with his ongoing ones, giving her an exaggerated opinion of where her boundaries are.What seems simple on the surface goes back into history to a case that was done and dusted, with the killer now out free, looking for revenge. But, of course, it’s not that simple or that easy; and, by the time Doreen and her animal crew are done, the world has shifted for more than just one person in this case.

  Shifting Accommodation  is a short humorous story by the famous Russian writer, playwright and theatrical personage Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891 - 1940).
  From the Diary of an ingenious comrade Polosukhin:
  November 21.
  Well, Moscow… What a city… Oh, I will tell 
  you now. There are no available apartments here. 
  Absolutely no vacant flats! I even had to send a 
  telegram to my wife and tell her to stay home and wait 
  for a while. I slept three nights in the bathtub at 
  Karabuev's apartment. Well, what can I say, not that 
  bad as it may seem, pretty comfortable, I would say, 
  just water dripping from time to time. Then I slept two 
  nights on a gas stove at Shchuevsky's apartment. In 
  Yelabuga, my hometown, people say that this stove is a 
  very convenient thing. Hell no, I say! Some screws are 
  sticking in here and there, and the cookmaid is 
  grumbling, obviously not happy about my sleeping 
  there...
  December 23.
  I'm done, I'm going back to Yelabuga…

  The Odell Buckenflush Chronicles 4 is back with 48 wildly entertaining river tales that prove one thing: you don’t have to be graceful to be legendary. Join Dr. Odell Buckenflush and his lovable crew of misfits as they brave rogue canoes, border mishaps, soapbox disasters, and one unforgettable encounter with a “she-raft.” Whether he's accidentally smuggling people across international lines or inventing Olympic canoe events no one asked for, Odell shows us that outdoor adventures are a lot like life—messy, unpredictable, and best tackled with a good sense of humor. 
  Each story ends with a “Tale of the Tale” that peeks behind the scenes at the real-life mayhem that inspired the madness. This isn’t just a book for paddlers—it’s for anyone who’s ever fallen out of a boat, lost their keys in a questionable outhouse, or just needed a good laugh. Educational? Sort of. Inspirational? Accidentally. Entertaining? Absolutely.

  A funny, fast-paced, and poignant take on Franco-African history, as told through the eyes of three African security guards in Paris. 
   
   
   
  All over the city, they are watching: Black men paid to stand guard, invisible among the wealthy flâneurs and yet the only ones who truly see. From Les Grands Moulins to a Sephora on the Champs-Élysées, Ferdinand, Ossiri, and Kassoum find their way as undocumented workers amidst political infighting and the ever-changing landscape of immigration policy. Fast-paced and funny, poignant and sharply satirical, Standing Heavy is a searing deconstruction of colonial legacies and capitalist consumption and an unforgettable account of everything that passes under the security guards' all-seeing eyes.
