Book Description
Class reunions: a time for memories—good, bad, and, as Virgil Flowers is about to find out, deadly—in this New York Times bestselling thriller from John Sandford. Virgil knows the town of Trippton, Minnesota, a little too well. A few years back, he investigated the corrupt—and as it turned out, homicidal—local school board, and now the town’s back in view with more alarming news: A woman’s been found dead, frozen in a block of ice. There’s a possibility that it might be connected to a high school class of twenty years ago that has a mid-winter reunion coming up, and so, wrapping his coat a little tighter, Virgil begins to dig into twenty years’ worth of traumas, feuds, and bad blood. In the process, one thing becomes increasingly clear to him. It’s true what they say: High school is murder.

Book Description
Written in the early 1980s against a backdrop of strengthening calls for a North American free trade agreement, this study examines the protectionist impulses masquerading as efforts to eliminate tariff barriers. In the wake of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (the GATT), the popular assumption hailed it as a victory for freer trade. Lazar demonstrates that the trend was in fact towards a new protectionism based on the erection of non-tariff barriers specifically designed to subvert the GATT. In response, he called for a Canadian industrial strategy that promoted Canadian companies and encouraged exports. The New Protectionism is a subtle analysis of the rhetoric and reality of free trade as practised in the early 1980s.

Book Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford continues his phenomenal Prey series—and “for those who think they know everything they need to know about Lucas Davenport, [Field of Prey] proves them wrong…” (Huffington Post) On the night of the fifth of July, in Red Wing, Minnesota, a boy smelled death in a cornfield off an abandoned farm. When the county deputy took a look, he found a body stuffed in a cistern. Then another. And another. By the time Lucas Davenport was called in, it was fifteen and counting, the victims killed over just as many summers, regular as clockwork. How could this happen in a town so small without anyone noticing? And with the latest victim only two weeks dead, Davenport knows the killer is still at work, still close by. Most likely someone the folks of Red Wing see every day. Won’t they be surprised.
