Officer Rory Yates is called home to settle deadly scores.
Rory Yates’s skill and commitment to the badge have seen him rise through the ranks in the Texas Ranger division, but it came at a cost – his marriage.
When he receives a worrying phone call from his ex-wife, Anne, Rory speeds to what used to be their marital home. He arrives to a horrifying crime scene and a scathing accusation: he is named a suspect in Anne’s murder.
Rory’s only choice is to find the killer himself. He risks his job, his pride, his reputation among everyone he loves to pursue the truth.
Yates follows the Ranger creed – never to surrender. That code just might bring him out alive.

Our website has been compromised. We are in the process of rebuilding it.  The Wawa Public Library catalogue page can still be reached through OLSN. In your search bar type “Jasi Library System”.  Once you are in look for the tab at the top of the page that says “Member OPACs” and click on that.  This will create a list of library under OLSN.  Look for the Wawa Public Library in that list and click on it.  This will bring you to our catalogue page. If you have any questions or if you need to renew a library item, please do not hesitate to call the circulation desk at (705) 856-2244 ext. 290.

The Hudson’s Bay Company is the oldest company in North America.  It was created in 1670, when the King of England granted a royal charter to investors interested in trading with Indigenous peoples for furs. Although trade relationships were often unequal, HBC posts were an important part of life for many Indigenous families for centuries.  In the 19th century, HBC diversifies its interests, becoming the department store chain that Canadians know today.

The Wawa Public Library has a display of books and articles that are available for checkout. We also have an amazing replica of the Hudson Bay Co.
