FPQ 5

In Michael Bryson's 'Survival', a couple sit in a lakeside Toronto condo, trapped by a crazed, mysterious sniper. 'The Lesson' presents a self-absorbed wedding DJ as the newest addition to Jessica Westhead’s trademark cast of offbeat protagonists. In Laure Baudot's 'In the Afternoon', a babysitter's envy — and its fallout — come to the fore when a former client is accused of a crime, and she must decide whether to help exonerate him. In 'Mui'n' by Nancy Branch, a Mi’gmaw guide charged to kill a bear finds his personal values coming into sharp conflict with his commitment to the task.
