When a fun day out in the Scottish Highlands turns fatal, there's only one solution: call for Ally McKinley!

It's the annual Locharran Highland Games and Ally McKinley has never seen her little village so busy or excited. Everyone's enjoying the Scottish dancing, the bagpipes, and cheering the competitors on. But there's a hitch in the proceedings when champion challenger Archie Armstrong drops dead in the middle of tossing the caber. Rushing to the scene, Ally is the first to spot that Archie's death was no accident - this was murder!

Ally flings herself into a new investigation and soon discovers that more than one person may have had a murderous motive, including some of the current residents of her cosy little guesthouse. Patti, Archie's glamourous wife, seems intent on acting like the perfect widow, but rumours of infidelity have been flying. Is her performance too good? Could her uncle, cranky gamekeeper Angus, have finally snapped, furious at Archie's treatment of his niece? Or was it one of the frustrated local competitors, desperate to end Archie's winning streak?

Determined to crack the case and fuelled by more than one piece of her famous shortbread, Ally begins to narrow down her list of possible culprits, but is thrown for a loop when her chief suspect is found dead by the loch, a mysterious and threatening note clutched in their fingers. With a killer at large, can Ally finally uncover the truth? Or, as the sun sets over the highlands, will this game be her last?

For fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin and Clare Chase, this totally unputdownable cozy mystery set in the beautiful Scottish Highlands will have you turning the pages late into the night!

Indigenous Peoples in Canada have experienced coerced sterilization under eugenics legislation since the 1930s, and the violence has never stopped, even though eugenics fell into disrepute. In The Genocide Continues, Karen Stote traces the historical, political, economic and policy context informing the coerced sterilization of Indigenous women from 1970 onward. She shows how a powerful idea paved the way for the expanded violations of Indigenous People's bodies and futures. That idea was population control -- a concern with who occupied land and how resources were distributed -- and it was a central thread guiding public health interventions from eugenics to family planning.

The Genocide Continues offers new insights to show how federal, provincial and corporate activities intersected to criminalize and regulate Indigenous reproduction. Saskatchewan, which first established family planning policies in the 1970s and is now the province with the highest number of Indigenous women coming forward with experiences of coerced sterilization, is Stote's case study to demonstrate why family planning activities consistently targeted Indigenous women.

Stote weaves compelling archival evidence with principled storytelling to connect violence against Indigenous bodies to violence against Indigenous lands. Unless and until colonialism, extractivism and dispossession are addressed, a genocide against Indigenous peoples will continue.

Naming the Body: A Queer Woman's Restorative Mapping of the Self celebrates and reclaims a queer woman's uprooted, mothering, ailing body and an erased identity through memory and language. An identity that just three decades ago could not be claimed because women, especially queer women, didn't have the language to signify and embrace them. This collection of sixteen units of text, freeing itself from all form or expectations, is written with unequivocal honesty and one single goal in mind: to give voice to a silenced body. The result is literary patchwork, storytelling under the stars, a cry, a riddle, a manifesto, even a road map for the future! Naming the Body is a contemporary hybrid memoir in translation that places the body at the center of multiple realities through a unique, interrogative, and entertaining reading experience.

We Called It a War: Lessons Learned from the Fight to End Poverty is a first-hand account of Sargent Shriver's leadership of the War on Poverty, which he undertook under President Lyndon Johnson between 1964 and 1968. The memoir offers a rare inside view of how programs like Head Start, Community Action, Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA, now AmeriCorps VISTA), Job Corps, Legal Services, Neighborhood Health Centers, Foster Grandparents, Upward Bound, and Work-Study were conceived and implemented-and how Shriver's collaborative, community-based approach can be applied to tackling poverty in America today. The book gives the reader intimate insights into the opportunities and challenges of translating President Johnson's audacious pledge to end poverty into a working set of social programs that continue to uplift and empower communities across the United States today.

In leading the anti-poverty effort, Shriver was tasked with drafting the requisite legislation, ushering it through a skeptical Congress, creating the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), and recruiting the talented anti-poverty warriors who would take the OEO from concept to implementation.

Shriver's words reveal a public administrator skilled at creating major social policy; a global citizen driven by his spiritual faith and commitment to social justice; a principled pragmatist who successfully executed grand ideas; a social entrepreneur whose skeptical approach to bureaucracy enabled him to liberate the creative energies of the diverse individuals who collaborated with him; and a politician who earned the trust and respect of his adversaries.

Shriver's words remind us that to achieve equal opportunity and justice for all, we must again create an environment that nurtures bold ideas and empowers decisive, community-based action.
