Murder for the Halibut by Liz Lipperman Pdf

A sports writing job would have been the perfect catch for Jordan McAllister, but in Ranchero, Texas, all she could reel in was the food column. Though she may not know her way around a kitchen, she has no trouble finding herself in a kettle of fish… Tempted by the offer of a free Caribbean cruise, Jordan accepts a spot as a judge in a week-long big-time cooking competition aboard the Carnation Queen. She just better hope no one finds out that her famous palate is far from refined. But there are bigger fish to fry when arrogant chef Stefano Mancini falls face first into his signature halibut dish during the first event. While evidence suggests that the handsome Italian chef’s death was an accident, Jordan thinks otherwise. But she’ll have to keep her wits about her—and the sea sickness pills handy—if she’s going to solve this one…

Halibut on the Moon by David Vann Pdf

“[An] affecting novel of a man grappling with deep depression…A moving portrait of a family dealing with loss before it happens.”—Kirkus Reviews Middle-aged and deeply depressed, Jim arrives in California from Alaska and surrenders himself to the care of his brother Gary, who intends to watch over him. Swinging unpredictably from manic highs to extreme lows, Jim wanders ghost-like through the remains of his old life, attempting to find meaning in his tattered relationships with family and friends. As sessions with his therapist become increasingly combative and his connections to others seem ever more tenuous, Jim is propelled forward by his thoughts, which have the potential to lead him, despairingly, to his end. From the international bestselling, award-winning author of Aquarium, Halibut on the Moon is a searing exploration of a man held captive by the dark logic of depression and struggling mightily to wrench himself free. In vivid and haunting prose, Vann offers us an aching portrait of a mind in peril, searching desperately for some hope of redemption.

Halibut Cove by Carline Bouilhet Pdf

Rayne McCloud is a 32-year-old art expert with an impeccable reputation. However, her latest Sydney-based project, a vision of reconciliation between two cultures, attracts the ire of a young skinhead and her work is completely ruined. Traumatized by the incident, she loses her sight in one eye. Several failed attempts to re-attach her retina leave her feeling hopeless and dejected, so she decides to return home to Alaska, to learn to live again. In her childhood holiday home on Halibut Cove, Rayne witnesses the murder of the second mate of the Petro Valdez, just as the world commemorates the third anniversary of one of its most severe environmental catastrophes. When Rayne identifies the killer as eco-friendly real estate magnate, Liam Declan, her otherwise unusually detailed eyewitness account is dismissed outright by the police and the case makes headlines. Bent on saving her compromised reputation, Rayne's investigation leads her to the discovery of Alaska's richest goldmines on the very same shoreline wrecked by the notorious oil spill. The elaborate cover up includes not only state officials, the former crew of the Petro Valdez, oil barons and mining tycoons, but unwittingly, her very own father. Brought face to face with the harsh realities of the corporate world, will Rayne trade the love of her father for her thirst for the truth?
