Murder in the Sooke Potholes

by Shirley Skidmore

Serial killings at the Sooke Potholes almost gets the better of Zack Ward's personal life– he heads the RCMP detachment in Sooke – and his relentless, amorous pursuit of Cass Derby – a local business women and artist. The plot is complicated by a local and beautiful young constable stalked by the local doctor, who becomes a person of interest in this murder investigation. Yet, the serial killings continue.
Murder in the Sooke Potholes is a tangled web of characters and circumstance and despite some unexpected twists and turns in this mystery, it is expertly unravelled by Zack Ward's determined sleuthing.
This is the second in a series of Sooke mysteries. The first, Murder on the Galloping Goose was a local best seller and also featured Zack Ward and Cass Derby.

POOR MATZA

by Avrom Reisen
Translated by Harvey Fink

Avrom Reisen was a prolific Yiddish poet and short story writer for the American Yiddish dailies.
This is a superb translation by Harvey Fink of some of Reisen's best short stories, At the time of Reisen's death in 1953, the Jewish Spectator wrote:

"There are many Yiddish writers who owe their success to Reisen's encouragement. For years he published and edited, under great sacrifices, Yiddish journals with the primary aim of providing a platform for young, struggling writers... He had no arrogance, no pretensions and no personal vanity."
