Foreign Exchange Rate | Tristan Taylor | Contemporary, Thriller/Mystery (N) (I) (F)
In Foreign Exchange Rate, Zack never set out to become a criminal. He works a dead end job at a branch of the True North Canadian Bank. He never finished college, a loser by all accounts. One day, Zack sees a path to redemption and a life worth living when he discovers the foreign currency room. Join Zack in this wild tale exploring the depths of morality, a life of crime, and the pursuit of a good life.
Literary
Flux | Julie Gabrielli | Literary, Climate Fiction (N) (I) (F)
The asthmatic climate scientist Grace Evans is a closet inventor who approaches her work (and her life) as puzzle to solve, a machine to repair. A rising academic star, she documents the harms caused by the fracking industry. She’s determined to expose the methane-leaking cracks in gas wells while hiding her own widening cracks—in her integrity, her relationships, her health, and her control over any of it.
