About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Description
From the author of the novels Love on the Killing Floor and Dragging the River, Trevor Clark's new collection of stories covers broad territory, from an addict's confessions to the corruption of academia, in such diverse locales as Jamaica and the UK. The subtle nuances of knifings, the unforeseen rise of Islamic terrorists, the familial kidnapping and the marriage of convenience that takes a wrong turn - Escape and Other Stories is a rough and tumble collection of tales that not only crosses genres, but oceans as well, drawing the reader into worlds of majestic dilapidation not often seen, but which all of us endure.
