Here are a few of the new books that have arrived at the library recently. We invite you to check them out!

Finding Us

While taking photographs at an exposition in Seattle in 1909, Camera Girl Eleanor Bennet snaps an image of a woman in widow’s clothes with deep sorrow etched in her expression and a young infant in her arms. Eleanor becomes fast friends with botanist Bill Reed, and is stunned to learn Bill recognizes the woman as the sister-in-law he believed lost in a shipwreck. As Eleanor and Bill hunt for Amelia Reed to reunite her with Bill’s grief-stricken brother, they must stand together to face the danger that follows and learn to trust that God will direct their paths.

The Bitter Past

Porter Beck is the sheriff in the high desert of Nevada, north of Las Vegas. Born and raised there, he left to join the Army. Now he’s back home, doing the same lawman’s job his father once did. All is relatively quiet, until an old, retired FBI agent is found killed. Clues at the scene point to a mystery dating back to the early days of the nuclear age. In a case that unfolds in the past (the 1950s) and the present, it seems that a Russian spy infiltrated the nuclear testing site and now someone is looking for that long-ago, all-but forgotten person, who holds the key to what happened then and to the deadly goings on now.

Fatal Legacy

Flavia Albia, daughter of Marcus Didius Falco, has taken over her father’s business as a private informer. She only has two hard and fast rules—avoid political cases and family cases because nothing good comes of either of them. Unfortunately, since Albia isn’t good at avoiding either. So when her Aunt Junia demands Albia track down a couple of deadbeats who owe her money, it’s an offer Albia can’t refuse. The more she digs, the more skeletons she finds in the closet, until murder in the past leads to murder in the present. Now, it’s serious, even deadly, and Albia has precious little time to uncover the truth.
