Concierge Affairs
Summary
Former engineer Kate Ryan has started her own concierge service when her ex-husband, Jack Doyle, asks her to meet with him and his new client. Ousted from the police department, Jack is struggling to get his new P. I. business off the ground and says he needs Kate’s help. Although hesitant to get involved, Kate’s weakness has always been bad boys in trouble and the desperation in Jack’s voice convinces her to agree to the meeting. One meeting only. On the way to the meeting, Kate is almost hit by a woman who tumbles off the roof of Jack’s 20-story apartment building. Suicide or murder? The police believe it is murder and a revenge-seeking ex-partner targets Jack as the number one suspect. But why would he kill his one and only client? A client that Kate soon learns had secrets that even Jack didn’t know, and when revealed, threaten to destroy them both.

Tell Me Why You Fled: True Stories of Seeking Refuge
Summary
Semifinalist for the Kore Press Memoir Award When Karen O’Reilly’s 28-year-old friend and roommate dies by suicide on a bright New Year’s Day, Karen, also suffering from severe depression, decides that she needs to do something drastic to avoid following a similar path. Six months later she leaves her comfortable western existence behind to work with refugees in Uganda. In this candid and irreverent memoir, Karen tells the story of working with people seeking refuge - from war, and torture, and genocide - as a young woman seeking refuge from herself. She describes the unexpected connections she makes with the refugees with whom she works: the Somali woman who, pitying her, prays for her to find a husband; the suspected Rwandan génocidaire who argues with her about soccer and makes her undrinkable coffee; the transgender Burundian woman who commissions a matching rooster-print blouse and skirt for her, as a thank you gift. Outside of work, she tries to forget the corruption and sexual abuse she is shocked to encounter in the humanitarian world. She drinks gin, dances at illicit gay bars, sees local psychiatrists with unorthodox ideas, and tries to make sense of the refugees’ stories and her own.
