    <book_description><![CDATA[When incidents of food supply contamination dominate the news media, two investigators, Zol Szabo, a public health doctor, and Hamish Wakefield, a young infectious diseases specialist come under immense pressure to find the cause of a mysterious epidemic before more victims show up on the autopsy table. <br /><br />In a race against the clock, the two doctors must navigate the treacherous political minefields of the medical community and the media while the disease spreads. The situation soon spins wildly out of control and more lives are threatened after a government-appointed investigator hijacks the investigation and allows his inflated ego to supersede common sense.<br /><br />Speaking to contemporary concerns about food safety, this fast-paced medical thriller illustrates the potential for disastrous consequences when total responsibility for food safety is placed in the hands of manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[An alternate cover for this ISBN can be found <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35224144-breakfast-at-tiffany-s" rel="nofollow noopener">here</a>.<br /><br />It's New York in the 1940s, where the martinis flow from cocktail hour till breakfast at Tiffany's. And nice girls don't, except, of course, Holly Golightly. Pursued by Mafia gangsters and playboy millionaires, Holly is a fragile eyeful of tawny hair and turned-up nose, a heart-breaker, a perplexer, a traveller, a tease. She is irrepressibly 'top banana in the shock department', and one of the shining flowers of American fiction.<br /><br />This edition also contains three stories: 'House of Flowers', 'A Diamond Guitar' and 'A Christmas Memory'.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The astonishing novel <i>Brave New World</i>, originally published in 1932, presents Aldous Huxley's vision of the future--of a world utterly transformed. Through the most efficient scientific and psychological engineering, people are genetically designed to be passive and therefore consistently useful to the ruling class. This powerful work of speculative fiction sheds a blazing critical light on the present and is considered to be Aldous Huxley's most enduring masterpiece.<br /><br />The non-fiction work <i>Brave New World Revisited</i>, published in 1958, is a fascinating work in which Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy envisioned in <i>Brave New World</i>, including the threats to humanity, such as over-population, propaganda, and chemical persuasion.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A socialite is found strangled to death in an unused storage closet within one of Manhattan’s iconic hotels. The young woman’s murder puts the authorities on edge, but their concern transforms into alarm when they spot a calling card on her corpse. The ominous note confirms a sinister cult subdued many years ago has regrouped to try once again to crush the free world from within. <br /> <br />Enter Dalton Lee, one of the world’s pre-eminent architects. As a student at Cambridge some twenty years ago, Lee helped bring the anarchists to their knees when he deduced who among their ranks had assassinated a congresswoman. Now that the group is resuming its campaign of terror, the authorities recruit Lee and his business associates to assist them with the investigation, knowing they all now have a personal stake in finding the killer. <br /> <br />Can Lee and his colleagues figure out why the fringe group chose to have the socialite murdered -- and who the murderer was -- before New York is under siege and one of their own gets locked within the killer’s crosshairs? <br />]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[One of the great pulp writers, Fredric Brown (1906-1972) combined a flair for the horrific, a quirky sense of humor, and a wild imagination, and published many classic novels in the mystery and science fiction genres. But he was also a master of the “short-short story,” tales only a page or two in length, but hard-hitting and with a wicked twist at the end. <i>Nightmares and Geezenstacks</i> (1961) collects 47 short gems by Brown, ranging from science fiction to noir crime to horror, including the chilling and unforgettable “The Geezenstacks”. Long unobtainable, Brown’s classic collection returns to print for the first time in almost 40 years and is sure to please both longtime fans and those who are discovering this brilliant writer for the first time.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[After days of being tossed and battered by a raging storm, the ship on which the narrator, his wife, and their four sons are passengers smashes against a reef — and the last lifeboat pulls away without them. Next morning, the intrepid, loving little family finds itself cast away on an uninhabited island. Never losing hope, they retrieve what they can from the ship and construct a life for themselves through their own resourcefulness — building a tree house, finding such foods as coconuts, sugarcane, honey, and potatoes, and securing themselves against danger. Adventure follows adventure as they explore the island, encounter wild birds and terrifying animals, plant crops, build sturdier shelters, and settle in for a long stay. Although there are many hardships, the family lives in peace and harmony, and even rescues a girl who was stranded on a nearby island.<br />Johann David Wyss (1743-1818), a pastor in Bern Switzerland, after observing how enthralled his four sons were by the story of Robinson Crusoe, decided to create his own Robinson — a Swiss one, with a family just like his own — in order to entertain and instruct the boys. Many years later, his son Johann Rudolf Wyss, who had become a librarian and a professor of philosophy, convinced his father to allow him to complete and edit the charming story, which was published for the first time in 1813.<br />Long a favorite of children and young adults, this thrilling account of a family’s struggle against overwhelming odds retains a lasting appeal for readers who admire the family’s loving spirit and the enterprising manner in which they prevail. Featuring the best English-language adaptation — done by William H. G. Kingston in 1889 — this unabridged edition of the immensely popular tale is sure to enthrall a new generation of readers.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The Garden of Eden story is reimagined in this smart and satirical, contemporary fantasy ... The Wizard of Oz meets The Matrix ... a metaphysical thriller set in the last days of the Cold War. <br /><br />The year is 1982. Paul Venturi is just an average, socially awkward college freshman hiding his extraterrestrial genesis in the closet, hoping to start a brand new life on campus. Unfortunately, his reemerging telepathy and the shadow of covert government surveillance make fitting in a daunting task. But when an enigmatic Serpent in the guise of a college stoner pressures him to smoke the forbidden weed, Paul is thrust into a mind-bending world of government cover-ups, Gnostic revelations, and dark conspiracies.<br /><br />Catapulted over the rainbow, Paul lands in the Astral realm of Yin'Dru where competing factions of immortals are locked in a bitter cosmic stalemate waging their own secret Cold War over the destiny of the human race. A reluctant Paul is cast in the starring role of Adam - a higher sentient human groomed to become their celebrity-messiah. However, a sinister faction sees him as the perfect pawn to steer the United States and Soviet Union toward a nuclear Apocalypse. <br /><br />Compelling and original, "Season of the Serpent" is a thought provoking, multi-layered mix of history, mythology, science fiction, and Synchronicity. (Book One of Two)<br /><br /><a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Season-Serpent-Book-One-ebook/dp/B0080RDHVO/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1341363873&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=9780985307301">http://www.amazon.com/Season-Serpent-...</a><br /><br />Book Two available: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FY8O6OE">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FY8O6OE</a>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Amid a sultry Atlanta summer, someone is targeting police… The investigation becomes personal for APD Detective Ryan Winter when a colleague and friend is shot dead, the second victim in just weeks. But even as he finds himself being drawn into the tense hunt for a serial cop killer, he is forced to re-examine his own shattering personal tragedy. An ER physician at Atlanta’s busy Mercy Hospital, Dr. Lydia Costa is no stranger to suffering. Still, the recent police slayings reopen barely healed wounds—and bring her face-to-face with her ex-husband, Ryan Winter. As the body count rises and paranoia tightens its grip on the police force, Lydia and Ryan are pulled together by circumstances and fate…causing old passions to reignite despite their painful shared past. But as Ryan moves closer to discovering the killer’s identity, someone is watching, placing both him and Lydia in mortal danger.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The three Beauchamp women--Joanna and her daughters Freya and Ingrid, live in North Hampton, out on the tip of Long Island. Their beautiful, mist-shrouded town seems almost stuck in time, and all three women lead seemingly quiet, uneventful existences. But they are harboring a mighty secret--they are powerful witches banned from using their magic. Joanna can resurrect people from the dead and heal the most serious of injuries. Ingrid, her bookish daughter, has the ability to predict the future and weave knots that can solve anything from infertility to infidelity. And finally, there's Freya, the wild child, who has a charm or a potion that can cure most any heartache.<br />For centuries, all three women have been forced to suppress their abilities. But then Freya, who is about to get married to the wealthy and mysterious Bran Gardiner, finds that her increasingly complicated romantic life makes it more difficult than ever to hide her secret. Soon Ingrid and Joanna confront similar dilemmas, and the Beauchamp women realize they can no longer conceal their true selves. They unearth their wands from the attic, dust off their broomsticks, and begin casting spells on the townspeople. It all seems like a bit of good-natured, innocent magic, but then mysterious, violent attacks begin to plague the town. When a young girl disappears over the Fourth of July weekend, they realize it's time to uncover who and what dark forces are working against them.<br />With a brand-new cast of characters, a fascinating and fresh world to discover, and a few surprise appearances from some of the Blue Blood fan favorites, this is a page-turning, deliciously fun, magical summer read fraught with love affairs, witchcraft, and an unforgettable battle between good and evil.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>There is an alternate cover edition for this ASIN <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18222628-out-of-the-shadow&quot;" rel="nofollow noopener">here</a>.</i><br /><br />Having survived a rape and her husband's murder, all Becca Rosen wants to do is settle back into a “normal” life, but how normal can life be when she's being stalked by a psychopath with an attitude---and an agenda. The police are no help because they're convinced, with her history of mental illness, Becca has faked the rape to get away with her husband's murder. On top of that, Becca has begun to have flashbacks and nightmares of childhood abuse, possibly at the hands of the rapist. Not knowing where to turn, and feeling like she might go crazy again, Becca hires psychologist, Sarah Abrams, to help her unearth who's behind the crimes of the past...and the present.<br /><br />Three men come into Becca's life around the same time. While each of these men has his charms, Becca can't be certain whether any one of them is the real killer. Or could it be someone else? Together Becca and Sarah start on a course of hypnotherapy to discover the abuser's identity. Will their work reveal the real killer before it's too late, or will Becca once again fall prey to this demented criminal?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly or Nevada Barr, this gripping Layla Remington thriller from International Thriller Writers Award finalist Gil Reavill plunges readers beneath the glittering façade of Hollywood and into a terrifying underworld where beautiful women can just . . . disappear.</b><br /><br />Malibu is crumbling. A monster earthquake has just ripped apart some of the priciest real estate on the planet. In a bizarre twist, it has also unearthed a grim secret buried for years beneath one particularly unstable a steel barrel containing the mummified remains of Tarin Mistry, the beautiful starlet who went missing more than a decade ago. When Detective Investigator Layla Remington looks into that wretched metal coffin, she realizes she’s just landed the case of a lifetime. <br /><br />But before Layla even strips off her latex gloves, a pair of hotshot LAPD detectives arrive on the scene and remove her from the investigation. Undeterred, she pursues her own line of inquiry. Risking her badge and her life, Layla’s determination to track down Tarin’s murderer takes her from the rarified air of exclusive canyon communities to seedy downtown sex clubs and the secluded lair of one of Hollywood’s most powerful men. But while Tarin’s case may be cold, her killer is poised to strike again—and in Layla, this depraved sociopath may have just found fresh prey.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Beware when the vampires come to town.<br /><br />When traveling actors recruited his wife for a plum role, Cody Wilson had no idea they would murder her. Twelve-year-old Willet Black was just as devastated the night the fiends slaughtered everyone he loved. Now Cody and Willet are bent on revenge, but neither of them suspects what they’re really up against.<br /><br />For the actors are vampires. Their thirst for human blood is insatiable. Even if word of their atrocities were to spread, it would take an army to oppose them. But it is 1885 in the wilds of New Mexico, and there is no help for Cody and Willet. The two must battle the vampires—alone—or die trying]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[When a fairytale fantasy night becomes a nightmare, Chessa Paxton must run for her life...but will the truth set her free? Chessa Paxton, an event planner in Lake Tahoe, celebrates a successful night at the Happily Ever After Ball, but her dream quickly becomes a nightmare when she wakes up beside the body of her dead husband. Nauseous and confused, feeling as if she's been drugged, she can't explain to the sheriff why her princess costume is bloodied. With her father already a convicted murderer, she feels invisible shackles ratcheting onto her wrists and ankles. She runs! But she can't escape vivid flashes of a massacre in a meadow; men and women in fairy tale costumes; Snow White’s dead body shielding her from bullets. Though Chessa is a former costumer and a master of disguise, she quickly learns that hiding while trying to prove herself innocent is the most difficult task imaginable. Especially when the sheriff wants to throw her in jail and the real killer wants to silence her forever. “With a compelling, savvy and sympathetic protagonist, Gerber skillfully weaves a masterful plot with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing right until the explosive finale. A real page-turner and a satisfying read. “ ~ Hannah Dennison, The Honeychurch Hall Mysteries, The Vicky Hill Mysteries “GIRL ON THE RUN never lets you catch your breath. With a heart-pounding pace and twists you'll never see coming, it's guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.” ~ Hilary Davidson, Anthony Award-winning Author of Blood Always Tells “Spellbound from start to finish. This author grabbed my attention and wouldn’t let go. A fantastic debut into the suspense genre.” ~ Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book]]></book_description>

But his onstage feats of magic are nothing compared to the abilities he keeps hidden from human eyes. Jason is Prime of his vampire family, and once used his telepathic skills to tame wild werewolves. It's a talent that leads him to beautiful, sensual Sofia Hunyara, who instantly triggers all of Jason's primal urges. Sofia is destined to be his bondmate, but keeping her alive long enough to convince her of that fact will not be easy. Sofia has no reason to trust Jason, or to believe his story about her family's secret history as Wolf Tamers. The only thing she's sure of is an overwhelming attraction that quickly develops into a scorching affair. If Jason's claims are true, can Sofia embrace her legacy -- when it means walking away from a soul-searing desire that's deeper than any she's ever known?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>The Darkest Urge.  .  .</b><br /><br />To his friends and neighbors, Jeffrey Mailhot was an ordinary, law-abiding motorcycle enthusiast with a fondness for 80's rock 'n roll. But there was a dark side to Mailhot--and an urge he couldn't control...<br /><b><br />The Vanished Bodies.  .  .</b><br /><br />Rhode Island detectives knew they had a serial killer in their town. But the victims were women who lived and worked in a sexual underground--and whose bodies were never found. Then, prostitutes began to talk about a man who played too rough. Police arrested Jeffrey Mailhot, and an incredible duel of wits began...<br /><br /><b>The Confession Of A Serial Killer.  .  .</b><br /><br /> A brilliant police interrogation led to a chilling confession. Now, this insider's account of a modern-day Jack the Ripper takes us into the room where Jeffrey Mailhot, in his own words, told police how he killed women with his bare hands, cut their bodies into pieces, and then went out to kill again...<br /><br /><b>Includes 16 pages of shocking photos! </b><br /><br /><b>Linda Rosencrance </b>has twenty years of experience as a reporter, writing for both <i>The Boston Globe </i>and the <i>Boston Herald </i>as well as many community papers in the Boston metropolitan area. She is the author of <i>An Act of Murder </i> and <i>Murder at Morses Pond </i>and has also written an anthology examining various crimes on college campuses. She lives in the Boston area. <br /><br /><b>Edward Lee, Jr., </b> has been a police officer in Woonsocket, Rhode Island since 1988. In 1997 he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant and became patrol supervisor for the morning platoon.  He went on to work as a Municipal and District Court Prosecutor as well as Sergeant in the Day Detective Division before being promoted to Lieutenant of the Day Platoon in October 2004.  Promoted to Captain in June of 2006, Lee is responsible for the Uniform Division, which is the largest and most visible division of the Woonsocket Police Department. He lives in Massachusetts.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA["In the days of old, life could be cheap. Death, however, could be very expensive."<br /><br /><br />What if, in the middle ages, North America had been settled by Europeans? The Americas would have developed very differently. Settlers from an eleventh-century Europe would have been on a relatively even footing with the local people, whom the Norse called Skraelings. We could end up with an Anglo-French empire along the Mississippi up to the head of navigation at Saint Anthony Falls. North of that would be Norse, settling on the Iron Range; and north of the Norse, Finns. Large areas of North America would still belong to the Skraelings. Traders would travel about, by land and by river, as traders always have. At trade fairs, men and women of different lands, laws, and customs would come together. As always, jackals would gather to prey upon them …]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[What would you do if you lived in a world where your every move was scrutinized by your own personal artificial intelligence—a world where everything is regulated, from power usage to relationships—a world where everything you thought you knew turned out to be a lie?<br /><br />Welcome to Tisaia – The last hub of modern civilization in a world left scorched by the nuclear fires of the Biomass Wars. Surrounded by a fortress of steel walls and protected by a fierce and loyal Council of Royal Knights, Tisaia seems relatively safe to the average State worker and citizen. A plentiful supply of Biomass powers the cities and food is abundant, but security has come at a terrible cost. The State will do anything to protect its resources, even if it means suppressing the rights of its citizens and deporting immigrants into the Wasteland - a virtual death sentence. <br /><br />Spurious Timur is one of the State workers helping keep the wheels of prosperity turning in Tisaia. As he starts to explore Tisaia and question his own worth, he realizes there may be more to his subsistence than he thought. When he meets and falls for co-worker Lana Padilla, he begins to understand he may hold the key to restoring Tisaia to a just and free State.<br /><br />However, restoring Tisaia will come at a cost; both to Spurious and those he cares about, because in Tisaia nothing is ever what it seems. And as more of his past begins to surface, he is faced with the ultimate decision—on which side of the revolution should he fight?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Evil can snatch away her homeland, kill her family, and change her way of life forever...but it could not stamp out her spirit or her magic...<br /><br />On her nineteenth birthday, Angelterra, princess of Palzintine, finds her peaceful existence shattered by an invading horde. Shutharja, a sorcerer and cleric of the forbidden worship of the Fallen Spirits, unleashes his war of shock and plunder against all the kingdoms surrounding the Imperial Sea in his pursuit of ultimate power. <br /><br />With her beloved kingdom captured and her dear parents presumably slaughtered in the failed defense of her homeland, Angelterra and her wheatish-skinned protector, a lady knight named Jeela, must flee Palzintine. During their desperate flight, these two young women are continually hunted by monstrous beasts and dark agents of Shutharja. Angelterra and Jeela must find away to reunite with the rest of their countryman, who are now refugees, huddled in a neighboring kingdom. Along the way, she collects an assortment of allies and friends to help her fight back against this menace that has swallowed her land and threatens all the kingdoms of this world. <br /><br />Out of the necessity of her survival, she discovers the wondrous mysteries surrounding "First Magic" and what it means to bind with its essence and wield its power. She begins to ponder if she is indeed the unthinkable, a wizard herself. Then, in an intense and lucid dream, the "Vision Dream," from beyond the realm of man and magic, Angelterra is given two very cryptic quests by the Spirit of the Heavenly Father for her to unravel. She is convinced that these two quests hold the key to defeating, once and for all, the evil which Shutharja has unleashed upon the world. She learns that by the Infinite Spirit revealing such quests to her, and her alone, means that she has been chosen to be His next "Vessel." <br /><br />This epic adventure continues with "Daughters of Thine Lesser Evil "(B00A2Z2ZVU) and "Suzerain of the Beast"]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<p>
  <i>It’s all quasi-legal fun until somebody gets framed for murder. </i>
</p><p></p><p>
  <i>Miss Misery, Book 1</i>
</p><p>Jessica Moore thrives on misery. Literally. Thanks to a goblin’s curse, she gets a magical high from humanity’s suffering. A shameful talent like that could bury a girl in guilt, so to atone, she uses her dark power to hunt murderers, rapists and other scumbags—until one of them frames her for his crimes. </p><p>In desperation, Jessica seeks refuge with the one person she trusts to not turn her in—a satyr named Lucen. Like every member of his race, Lucen uses his lusty magic to control Boston’s human population, and Jessica isn’t immune to his power. But the murder victims belonged to a rival race, and when they discover Lucen is harboring Jessica, dodging the cops becomes the least of her problems. </p><p>With only five days to find the real killer, Jessica faces a danger far more serious than the brewing magical war. The danger of succumbing to Lucen’s molten seduction. </p><p></p><p> Contains a heroine with a lust for misery, creepy murders, and creepier goblins, satyrs so hot you’d sell your soul for one, and scaly sewer rats masquerading as dragons. Who said magic was all sparkles and tiaras? </p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Jaime Vegas—spiritualist, entertainer and, unbeknownst to her audience, real-life necromancer—swore she’d never do another reality ghost show after the last fiasco. But when she’s railroaded into a charity gig, she finds herself back on the set, this time with a cast of photogenic college kids, an up-and-coming Russian spiritualist, and a tale of missing girls and murder in New England. It’s cheesy, but that’s show business. With her werewolf Alpha lover, Jeremy Danvers, along to keep her nights interesting, it’s not so bad really. Until the bloody ghosts show up. Jaime has never faced spirits like these, and no matter how hard she tries, they won’t be ignored.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA["Highland Blessings"is the story of a highland warrior who kidnaps the daughter of his greatest enemy and clan chief to honor a promise he made to his dying father. Bryce MacPhearson, a highland warrior, kidnaps Akira MacKenzie on her wedding day to honor a promise he made to his dying father. While Akira s strength in the Lord becomes a witness to Bryce, she struggles to overcome her anger and resentment when he forces her to wed him, hoping to end a half-century-old feud between their clans.While Akira begins to forgive, and Bryce learns to trust, a series of murders leaves a trail of unanswered questions, confusion, and a legacy of hate that once again rises between their families. Clearly, a traitor is in their midst.Now the one man Akira loves no longer trusts her, and her own life is in danger. Can Bryce look beyond his pain and seek the truth? Will Akira discover the threat against her before it s too late? How will God turn a simple promise into bountiful Highland blessings?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Diane Woods lost the luxury of having an ordinary life on the night a vampire killed her family while she slept. Since then, she has hunted their kind with singular purpose. It was only a matter of time before one started hunting her back. Though she's been a lone assassin for three years, Diane will need more than the strength of her indomitable will to survive. She'll need the help of some new allies--a few gifted humans, a witch and maybe even a demon or two--because her stalker won't be hunting alone.<br /><br />Christopher Desollador is not just out for blood. He intends to break her slowly. Considering the trail of bodies she left for him to follow, you could even say she was asking for it. One sadistic torment at a time, he will teach her what it means to be a victim...if he can keep his soul-eating master from killing her first.<br /><br />Blood Toy is a dark, urban fantasy with one kick-ass-heroine and an utterly psychotic stalker villain. Raine introduces readers to a vampire as darkly seductive as those of classic Gothic horror stories--erotic as hell without any romantic inclinations to soften his...bite.<br /><br /> This book is intended for mature audiences only and includes violent and abusive sexual content that may be disturbing to some readers. Desollador is NOT a love interest; he is a rapist with fangs. He is a gothic vampire in the tradition of Dracula–far from sparkling–cruel, enthralling, inevitable. Enjoy!<br /><br />2/14/20<br /><br />A letter to readers<br /><br />At the end of Blood Toy, I promise a second chapter in Diane's story, which only gets darker from here. Unfortunately, I never sprang for editing on the second book and won't subject you to a poorly edited manuscript. If, after you finish reading Blood Toy, you'd like to read more, please let me know in the comments. If I get 202 positive reviews this year, I will publish book 2 on 2/14/21!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[In 1990, a young woman was strangled on a jogging path near the home of Pat Brown and her family. Brown suspected the young man who was renting a room in her house, and quickly uncovered strong evidence that pointed to him -- but the police dismissed her as merely a housewife with an overactive imagination. It would be six years before her former boarder would be brought in for questioning, but the night Brown took action to solve the murder was the beginning of her life's work. Pat Brown is now one of the nation's few female criminal profilers -- a sleuth who assists police departments and victims' families by analyzing both physical and behavioral evidence to make the most scientific determination possible about who committed a crime. Brown has analyzed many dozens of seemingly hopeless cases and brought new investigative avenues to light. In The Profiler, Brown opens her case files to take readers behind the scenes of bizarre sex crimes, domestic murders, and mysterious deaths, going face-to-face with killers, rapists, and brutalized victims. It's a rare, up-close, first-person look at the real world of police and profilers as they investigate crimes -- the good and bad, the cover-ups and the successes.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The truth will set her free…or get her killed.<br /><br /><br /><br />Legacy, Book 1<br /><br /><br /><br />Alexandra Riley’s day starts out like any other in her normal, predictable world. Then a tall, dark stranger bursts into her father’s garage and shatters the illusion. In one shocking moment, she discovers why she’s been feeling hot, restless—she’s the half-breed daughter of a legendary werewolf and is a much-sought-after prize.<br /><br />Joshua Striker, enforcer in charge of protecting the alphas of the Wolf Creek pack, has come to take Alex home. Nothing more, nothing less. From the first moment he sees her, she becomes the one thing he can’t afford—a distraction from his duty. A weakness he doesn’t want—but can’t resist needing.<br /><br />If only keeping her safe was as simple as fending off males on the hunt for a mate. Through city streets to the mountains of North Carolina, Alex and Joshua have to evade those who don’t want their pure bloodlines tainted with human DNA, as well as bounty hunters who think the only good werewolf is a dead one.<br /><br />What Joshua and Alex can’t outrun is the passion that flares between them—or the choice Alex must eventually face. Whether to claim her inner wolf, or forfeit her chance to claim Joshua as her own.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[From USA Today bestselling author, Leslie Langtry comes the latest laugh-out-loud Merry Wrath Mystery...<br /><br />Merry Wrath has seen dangers galore in her former job as a CIA field agent. But nothing has prepared her for this—an overnight Mommy and Me lock-in with her Girl Scout troop, complete with movies, dodgeball, four cats, a baby…and a dead body.<br /><br />When the mysterious corpse’s identity is revealed, Merry and her former handler, Riley, realize they might have a domestic terrorist situation on their hands...one that needs diffused quickly before any more dead bodies appear. Merry once again calls on her former professional skills to track down a killer. Between a new, hottie female medical examiner—who seems a bit too interested in Merry’s boyfriend, Rex—the demanding President of the United States, the world’s 2nd largest snail collection, and an incident with pink hair dye, Merry has her work cut out for her. Can she stop an attack before it begins? Or will this be one Movie Night without a happy ending?]]></book_description>

    <user_review><![CDATA[Merry Wrath is a former spy with the CIA who is now leading a Girl Scout Troop in Iowa. Only during a lock-in night at the Church, a woman's body is found. Then it is stolen. With ex boyfriend CIA agent and current boyfriend, the Sheriff, she tries to find out what is going on.<br /><br />I really enjoyed this book. The snarky comments, the attitude of Merry. The hijinks with cats. That said, the mystery itself did not hold my interest, mainly because it didn't make much sense or seem believable to me. I CERTAINLY did not believe she was ex CIA 9her jokes about killing people with a spork etc... made it seem like she and everyone in the CIA has a high body count. Also, she was so drama queen and emotional (which I actually loved) but once again, not so much agent material... Particularly annoying was a grown woman with extreme jealousy and childishness re. her boyfriend, her ex and the hot young coroner. Particularly one supposedly professionally trained at detachment.<br /><br />So, totally unbelievable to me - yes. Totally fun - yes.]]></user_review>

                                      review: <br/>Merry Wrath is a former spy with the CIA who is now leading a Girl Scout Troop in Iowa. Only during a lock-in night at the Church, a woman's body is found. Then it is stolen. With ex boyfriend CIA agent and current boyfriend, the Sheriff, she tries to find out what is going on.<br /><br />I really enjoyed this book. The snarky comments, the attitude of Merry. The hijinks with cats. That said, the mystery itself did not hold my interest, mainly because it didn't make much sense or seem believable to me. I CERTAINLY did not believe she was ex CIA 9her jokes about killing people with a spork etc... made it seem like she and everyone in the CIA has a high body count. Also, she was so drama queen and emotional (which I actually loved) but once again, not so much agent material... Particularly annoying was a grown woman with extreme jealousy and childishness re. her boyfriend, her ex and the hot young coroner. Particularly one supposedly professionally trained at detachment.<br /><br />So, totally unbelievable to me - yes. Totally fun - yes.<br/>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>The third deligtfully undead novel in New York Times bestselling author Michele Bardsley's Broken Heart series.</b>Not just anyone can visit Broken Heart, Oklahoma, especially since all the single moms—like me, Patsy Donahue—have been turned into vampires. I’m forever forty, but looking younger than my years, thanks to my new (un)lifestyle.And even thought most of my customers have skipped town, I still manage to keep my hair salon up and running because of the lycanthropes prowling around. They know how important good grooming is—especially a certain rogue shape-shifter who is as sexy as he is deadly. Now, if only I could put a leash on my wild teenage son. He’s up to his neck in danger. The stress would kill me if I wasn’t already dead. But my maternal instincts are sill alive and kicking, so no one better mess with my flesh and blood.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[What if This is the Way it Really Happened?<br /><br />If you think you’ve read every possible “undead” scenario there is, you’re in for a surprise. AfterLife transcends the typical zombie or vampire genre and audience to present a plausible explanation of where such stories come from in an unsettling but believable way. Even those who shy away from this type of science fiction are falling prey to the “what if” question that makes this book so unique – and so compelling. What if the undead live among us but we don’t recognize them? <br /> <br />At the time of his premature death, Wesley Lohmann not only learns about this unique race of humans, but due to a small genetic marker in his DNA, discovers he is one of them. He is now a Mortui, and must leave behind everyone he knows and loves. Through death Wes learns to live, learns the meaning of love, and learns to put others before himself. Ultimately, dying was the best thing that ever happened to him.<br /><br />AfterLife is a richly woven tale of the struggle between good and evil, of allegiances, loyalties, and betrayals. The undead are surprisingly human and deeply motivated in their struggle for survival. Readers of all ages have been captured by the compelling story of Wes and AfterLife. Once you start reading you won’t be able to stop. And you’ll never look at a stranger the same way again.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Ever since he was a child, James Falcon had heard folktales of the strigoi, the bloodthirsty vampires who stalked the forests of Wallachia. As a young man he was recruited by US counter-intelligence to track down strigoi Nazis in war-torn Europe. Though the worst of them, the infamous Dorin Duca, always eluded him. Now, more than a decade later, the strigoi—and Dorin Duca—are ravaging London and James is back on the hunt. It’s only a matter of time before the old enemies meet face-to-face, because vampires are immortal…and so is their thirst for vengeance.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Two months have past since a myriad of alien objects clenched about the Earth, screaming as they burned. The heavens have been silent since—until a derelict space probe hears whispers from a distant comet. Something talks out there: but not to us. Who should we send to meet the alien, when the alien doesn't want to meet?<br /><br />Send a linguist with multiple-personality disorder and a biologist so spliced with machinery that he can't feel his own flesh. Send a pacifist warrior and a vampire recalled from the grave by the voodoo of paleogenetics. Send a man with half his mind gone since childhood. Send them to the edge of the solar system, praying you can trust such freaks and monsters with the fate of a world. You fear they may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find—but you'd give anything for that to be true, if you knew what was waiting for them. . . .]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Some teenagers deliver pizza, some deliver newspapers. My part-time job? I deliver mysterious envelopes for a demon. I don't even get tips. <br /><br />It seemed like a good deal at the time. I almost died in a car accident, and Azmos saved me... gave me a second chance. At first, it wasn't so bad. I got to live, go to high school, hang out with my boyfriend Cam. He's too cute for his own good, but he's getting tired of all this demon stuff. I hate lying to my best friend Melissa and my dad, who's still not over my mom's death. Neither am I. <br /><br />But now, this gig is getting dangerous, and it's not like I can quit. Even if I could, then what? I've seen things I can't unsee. I just hope I can figure out how to navigate the darkness before I do something I can't undo. <br /><br />It's time I face my own demons.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Best known for the 1892 title story of this collection, a harrowing tale of a woman's descent into madness, Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote more than 200 other short stories. Seven of her finest are reprinted here.<br /><br />Written from a feminist perspective, often focusing on the inferior status accorded to women by society, the tales include "turned," an ironic story with a startling twist, in which a husband seduces and impregnates a naïve servant; "Cottagette," concerning the romance of a young artist and a man who's apparently too good to be true; "Mr. Peebles' Heart," a liberating tale of a fiftyish shopkeeper whose sister-in-law, a doctor, persuades him to take a solo trip to Europe, with revivifying results; "The Yellow Wallpaper"; and three other outstanding stories.<br /><br />These charming tales are not only highly readable and full of humor and invention, but also offer ample food for thought about the social, economic, and personal relationship of men and women — and how they might be improved.<br /><br />Collects:<br />—The Yellow Wallpaper <br />—Three Thanksgivings <br />—The Cottagette <br />—Turned <br />—Making a Change <br />—If I Were a Man <br />—Mr. Peebles' Heart]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Pragmatic gambler Phileas Fogg has made a gentlemanly wager to the members of his exclusive club: that he can circle the world in just eighty days, right down to the minute. Fetching his newly appointed French valet, Fogg embarks on a fabulous journey across land and sea—by steamer, rail, and elephant—to win the bet of a lifetime.<br /> <br />Inspired by Jules Verne’s own sea travels and his fascination with circumnavigating the globe, the avid dreamer’s picaresque voyage inspired generations of adventurers who were eager to best Verne’s challenge—from nineteenth-century journalist Nellie Bly to Monty Python’s Michael Palin.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA["There is not one page of this enchanting book which does not contain something to interest the common reader as well as the serious student. Regarded simply as a history of flowers, it adds to the joys of the country." — B. E. Todd, Spectator<br />If you want to know how pleurisy root, lungwort, and abscess root got their names, how poison ivy used to treat rheumatism, or how garlic guarded against the Bubonic Plague, consult A Modern Herbal . This 20th-century version of the medieval Herbal is as rich in scientific fact and folklore as its predecessors and is equally encyclopedic in coverage. From aconite to zedoary, not an herb, grass, fungus, shrub or tree is overlooked; and strange and wonderful discoveries about even the most common of plants await the reader.<br />Traditionally, an herbal combined the folk beliefs and tales about plants, the medicinal properties (and parts used) of the herbs, and their botanical classification. But Mrs. Grieve has extended and enlarged the tradition; her coverage of asafetida, bearberry, broom, chamomile, chickweed, dandelion, dock, elecampane, almond, eyebright, fenugreek, moss, fern, figwort, gentian, Hart's tongue, indigo, acacia, jaborandi, kava kava, lavender, pimpernel, rhubarb, squill, sage, thyme, sarsaparilla, unicorn root, valerian, woundwort, yew, etc. — more than 800 varieties in all — includes in addition methods of cultivation; the chemical constituents, dosages, and preparations of extracts and tinctures, unknown to earlier herbalists; possible economic and cosmetic properties, and detailed illustrations, from root to bud, of 161 plants.<br />Of the many exceptional plants covered in Herbal , perhaps the most fascinating are the poisonous varieties — hemlock, poison oak, aconite, etc. — whose poisons, in certain cases, serve medical purposes and whose antidotes (if known) are given in detail. And of the many unique features, perhaps the most interesting are the hundreds of recipes and instructions for making ointments, lotions, sauces, wines, and fruit brandies like bilberry and carrot jam, elderberry and mint vinegar, sagina sauce, and cucumber lotion for sunburn; and the hundreds of prescriptions for tonics and liniments for bronchitis, arthritis, dropsy, jaundice, nervous tension, skin disease, and other ailments. 96 plates, 161 illustrations.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Virtually unknown during his lifetime, Franz Kafka is now one of the world’s most widely read and discussed authors. His nightmarish novels and short stories have come to symbolize modern man’s anxiety and alienation in a bizarre, hostile, and dehumanized world. This vision is most fully realized in Kafka’s masterpiece, “<i>The Metamorphosis</i>,” a story that is both harrowing and amusing, and a landmark of modern literature. <br /><br />Bringing together some of Kafka’s finest work, this collection demonstrates the richness and variety of the author’s artistry. “<i>The Judgment</i>,” which Kafka considered to be his decisive breakthrough, and “<i>The Stoker</i>,” which became the first chapter of his novel <i>Amerika</i>, are here included. These two, along with “<i>The Metamorphosis</i>,” form a suite of stories Kafka referred to as “The Sons,” and they collectively present a devastating portrait of the modern family.<br /><br />Also included are “<i>In the Penal Colony</i>,” a story of a torture machine and its operators and victims, and “<i>A Hunger Artist</i>,” about the absurdity of an artist trying to communicate with a misunderstanding public. Kafka’s lucid, succinct writing chronicles the labyrinthine complexities, the futility-laden horror, and the stifling oppressiveness that permeate his vision of modern life.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Bowie Whitlock and a team of celebrity athletes is commissioned to test two experimental rafts in the rugged Unegama Wilderness Gorge in the remote Appalachian Mountains, considered the most dangerous whitewater rapids in the eastern United States. Photographer Dove Krueger, Bowie's occasional lover, is there to document the journey. The expedition is tense from the start as jealousy, romance, and money are riding on the mission's success.<br /><br />FBI agent Jim Castle and his partner are in the gorge looking for Ace Goodall, a deranged abortion clinic bomber. Ace, accompanied by a fragile young woman, is having visions that guide his murderous behavior. A trip-wire around his camp detonates a rigged explosive, tearing apart part of a cliff wall and exposing a long-hidden vampire species to the world.<br /><br />The race is on as dark storm clouds gather, the river is swollen, and Ace hijacks the rafting expedition to make his escape. But the bloodthirsty creatures swooping down from the high cliffs have been too long without prey.<br /><br />Ace has one more bomb.<br />God is talking to him.<br />It's raining again, and his young companion is pregnant.<br />And killing isn't what it used to be, because the dead no longer stay dead.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[He was the friendly, baby-faced, Canadian boy next door. He came from a loving, caring, and well-respected family. Blessed with good looks and back-woods country charm, he was popular with his peers, and although an accident at birth left permanent nerve damage in one of his arms, he excelled in sports. A self-proclaimed “die hard” Calgary Flames fan, he played competitive junior hockey and competed on his school’s snowboarding team. And he enjoyed the typical simple pleasures of a boy growing up in the country: camping, hunting, and fishing with family and friends. <br /><br /><b>But he also enjoyed brutally murdering women, and he would become the youngest serial killer in Canadian history. </b> <br /> <br /><br /><br />From the bestselling author of <i>The Vampire Next Door: The True Story of The Vampire Rapist, John Crutchley.</i> <br /> <br />This is the 6th book in the Crimes Canada : True Crimes That Shocked the Nation collection. <br />]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Identical twins vie for a family empire built on deceit, cruelty, and dark secrets--and one woman stands between them while another waits in the shadows.<br /><br />DISINTEGRATION<br />(Revised March 2011. Includes alternate ending. DRM-free)<br /><br />When a mysterious fire destroys his home and shatters his family, Jacob Wells is pulled into a downward spiral that draws him ever closer to the past he thought was dead and buried.<br /><br />Now his twin brother Joshua is back in town, seeking to settle old scores and claim his half of the Wells birthright. Jacob’s wife Renee is struggling with her own past and her attempts to salvage Jacob are driven by guilt and ambition.<br /><br />As Jacob and Joshua return to the twisted roles they adopted at the hands of cruel, demanding parents, they wage a war of pride, wealth, and passion. They share a poisonous obsession with the provocative, manipulative Carlita, whose immigrant family helped build the Wells fortune.<br /><br />Joshua wants other things, too, but Jacob’s desires are divided between the forbidden love he can’t possess, the respectability he can never have, and the revenge he is dying to taste. And Renee has dark motives of her own.<br /><br />If only Jacob can figure out which of them to blame. But the lines of identity are blurred, because Joshua and Jacob share much more than blood.<br /><br />And the childhood games have become deadly serious.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The true story of the pool table rape and murder of Margaret Anderson in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Left for dead, practically beheaded in a manure pile, Margaret fights for life. But in the end, the single mother leaves behind a son.  Author Mike Dauplaise practically makes Margaret blow a breath at readers as he recreates the night she was killed. He then takes readers to the place she was trying to escape back to, her home state of Montana, and finally, on the investigative hunt of a lifetime as this "America's Most Wanted" drama ends with the capture of the last of the suspects five years later.  Dauplaise infiltrates the motorcycle club culture of the 1980s to expose what happened to Anderson and why she was just six months away from returning home to Montana. True-crime enthusiasts will revel in the detail and the hunt.  Vivid. Enthralling. Horrific.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b><i>Inspired by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs</i><br /><br />WHO NEEDS A PRINCE, WHEN YOU'VE GOT A HUNTSMAN?</b><br />Miss Nevara Wood is desperate to change her life. Plagued by shifting sight, which skews her normal vision and shows her disturbing visions, she’s always felt odd and unlovable. And she greatly wants to be loved—especially by Mark Dimas, the man she has hero-worshiped since the day he saved her life. Her only chance at happiness lies in breaking the curse that afflicts her—and all clues to the source of her torment point to a town in Southern Spain. Unfortunately, her every attempt to travel to that war-ravaged continent is impeded by the very man whose love she wants to win . . .<br /><br />Mark Dimas Alvaro is the last in a line of wizards charged by his ancestor, a magical huntsman, to secretly protect Nevara's family. But Mark chafes at his role because it has cost him everyone he loves, most recently his beloved brother. He is certain that if Nevara would simply stay in England and not create any unnecessary magical waves, they could both survive for another generation. Instead, his stubborn charge’s persistent investigation into her past lands Nevara in imminent danger. Mark instantly prepares to wage a magical war to protect the woman he has sworn to protect . . . and has come to deeply love. <br /><br />But Nevara's innocent probing has awoken an ancient evil that has held a grudge against her charmed family for three centuries. And it will do everything in its power to ensure that this princess never gets to live happily ever after . . .]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[When Maricel Salizar, an exchange student from the Philippines, is murdered, Detectives Karen Seagate and Ryan Miner interview the university provost, Al Gerson, who was hosting Maricel. The detectives later discover that Gerson, a devout member of the LDS church, served his mission in the Philippines when Maricel was born. But Maricel was involved with a gang member with a violent past, and Gerson’s own son, a schizophrenic who routinely goes off his meds, has fallen hard for Maricel.<br /><br />The case leads to a collision between Detective Seagate, who knows that everyone who breathes lies, and her partner. Ryan Miner, a devout Mormon, seems unable to put aside his disgust with Gerson, convinced he is not only a hypocrite but also a killer.<br /><br />“In this third book in the Seagate and Miner series, I wanted to set up a serious conflict between my two detectives, and a fellow parishioner who goes astray tests Ryan Miner’s ability to do his job,” Markel explains. “I also wanted to convey some aspects of actual police work not covered in TV police procedurals or in most cop novels. I hope that readers will be gripped by the dramatic parts and be forced to think about the disturbing parts.”<br /><br />“I like mysteries with real-world content and realistic characters, rather than perfect cops who are the best at everything. Karen Seagate, an intermittently recovering alcoholic who has lost her family, is recognizably human and deeply flawed. Now her only relationship, with her young Mormon partner, is in serious jeopardy.”]]></book_description>

                                      review: <br/>John Byron is a copy whose friend, another officer is involved in an Officer Involved Shooting of a kid. The media descends, protests begin and Byron has to find out the truth of what happened. It is a richly complex story with multiple layers and interesting characters. Also, a real feel for police procedure. I really enjoyed it and I can see why it is nominated for an Agatha.<br/>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Book #1 of the Someday Quilts Mystery series</b> <b>In the tradition of Jennifer Chiaverini and Emilie Richards, a debut quilting mystery</b> Nell Fitzgerald is thrilled when she receives a gorgeous handmade quilt in a lover's knot pattern from her grandmother Eleanor as an engagement gift. Her joy is short-lived, however, when her fiancé announces he's calling off the wedding. Heartbroken, 25-year-old Nell flees New York City for her grandmother's home in quaint Archers Rest. In this small town Eleanor's life revolves around her quilt shop, Someday Quilts, and the members of the shop's quilting circle. When the body of a local handyman known for his flirting is found in the quilt shop, murdered with a pair of quilting scissors, Nell finds herself drawn into the case- and drawn to the handsome police chief. As a pattern of clues begins to emerge, one of the prime suspects is Nell's ex-fiancé, whose arrival in Archers Rest seems suspicious. The ladies of the quilting circle continue to piece together their quilts as Nell unravels the mystery. For quilters and mystery lovers alike, The Lover's Knot is a delightful and promising debut.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[When the NSA's invincible code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant and beautiful mathematician. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. The NSA is being held hostage...not by guns or bombs, but by a code so ingeniously complex that if released it would cripple U.S. intelligence. <br /><br />Caught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, Susan Fletcher battles to save the agency she believes in. Betrayed on all sides, she finds herself fighting not only for her country but for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves.<br /><br />From the underground hallways of power to the skyscrapers of Tokyo to the towering cathedrals of Spain, a desperate race unfolds. It is a battle for survival--a crucial bid to destroy a creation of inconceivable genius...an impregnable code-writing formula that threatens to obliterate the post-cold war balance of power. Forever.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[This digital box set contains three full length novels, specifically, Books 1, 2 and 3 in the Casters Series.<br /><br />Comes the Night – How far would you go to escape your own personal teenage hell? Would you run away, break away from everything you know—even your own body?<br /><br />Alex Robbins, Brooke Saunders and Maryanne Hemlock could not be more different, yet they all have something in common—deep and soul-searing pain. They are also all students at Streep Academy, a boarding school just one step away from juvie, where they've come to complete high school. The three have been relegated to Harvell House, the residence reserved for the hardest cases, the so-called Rejects from Reject Row.<br /><br />In the forbidden attic of the old Victorian house-turned-residence, the girls discover the diary of Connie Harvell, a young woman who was confined and abused there some 50 years ago. In the end, Connie’s attic prison couldn't hold her—not completely. She found a way out. At least a dark part of her did. And after reading her diary, the girls discover they can escape at will too. A terrifying, thrilling flight from their bodies and their troubles.<br /><br />But God help them, their pain isn't all they leave behind when they join with the night.<br /><br />And God help anyone who’s wronged them...<br /><br /><br />Enter the Night – In Comes the Night, Alex Robbins, Brooke Saunders and Maryanne Hemlock, three troubled seniors at Streep Academy, learned to escape their pain — escape their very bodies — by casting a dark piece of themselves out through the stained glass window high in the attic of their dorm, Harvell House.<br /><br />Casting has been the salvation of each of the girls, but particularly for Maryanne. The wholesome good girl of the trio, Maryanne nevertheless harbors a secret — and a darkness — unrivaled by tattooed scenester Alex or beautiful badass Brooke. Casting provides Maryanne a desperately needed reprieve from her guilt and pain, but it’s become like a drug. And as with any drug, it only masks the real problems … and brings dangers of its own.<br /><br />When Maryanne starts dating Bryce Walker, son of the notorious “Heller” hunter Ira Walker, is it first love, or is there a darker, more self-destructive impulse at play? As the superstitious citizens of Mansbridge begin to mutter and scan the night skies for Hellers, can the hunted lie down with the hunter and emerge unscathed?<br /><br /><br />Embrace the Night - Thanks to Brooke, she, Maryanne and Alex are trapped even deeper in the Caster world, and inside their dark selves. Racing the clock, they must find a way back before they find themselves stranded in the very night they sought to claim.<br /><br />But even as they search for a solution, the Heller stories are growing, giving rise to panic among the superstitious citizens of Mansbridge. Armed with fury, fire and iron, the hunters are looking to “send the Hellers back to hell.” And this time, it’s more than just the usual handful of vocal Heller haters. It’s a mob.<br /><br />But the Casters have a righteous fury of their own. God help anyone who dares harm one.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Olivia Wallace has a birthday curse . . . or so she thinks. It was a broken heart on her 16th, a car accident on her 21st, pneumonia on her 30th, and a fall down a flight of stairs on her 35th. There were Ohio blizzards on her 38th, 39th, and 40th; and six days before her 45th, she lost the love of her life to a heart attack. Numbing grief stole that birthday and a couple more to follow and, on the morning of her 48th birthday, she received the call she'd dreaded ever since losing her mom so many years ago . . . she was diagnosed with stage-3 ovarian cancer. The doctors didn't hold out a lot of hope, but Liv survived and maintained her faith. Months of surgeries and chemotherapy and radiation treatments followed. But now, as her 50th birthday creeps up the icy Ohio path toward her, her hair has grown back, her energy level is up, and she is officially cancer free. It makes her nervous. After everything she's gone through, Liv hates the idea of driving on icy roads and returning to work as an O.R. nurse in a local Cincinnati hospital. Her best friend Hallie knows just the thing to break Liv out of the winter doldrums, while providing a safe haven of warmth, sunshine, and a time to regroup: a holiday in the Florida sunshine!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[At the top of his class at Harvard Law, Mitch McDeere had his choice of the best firms in America. He made a deadly mistake.<br /> <br />For a young lawyer on the make, it was an offer Mitch McDeere couldn’t a position at a law firm where the bucks, billable hours, and benefits are over the top. It’s a dream job for an up-and-comer—if he can overlook the uneasy feeling he gets at the office. Then an FBI investigation into the firm’s connections to the Mafia plunges the straight and narrow attorney into a nightmare of terror and intrigue. With no choice but to pit his wits, ethics, and legal skills against the firm’s deadly secrets—if he hopes to stay alive…]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA["[An] irresistible sequel to Smith's <i>New Orleans Noir</i>....Anyone who knows New Orleans even slightly will relish revisiting the city in story after story. For anyone who has never been to New Orleans, this is a great introduction to its neighborhoods and history."<br />--<b>
  <i>Publishers Weekly</i>
</b>, Starred review<br /><br />"Ten years after the publication of the original <i>New Orleans Noir</i>, Akashic's 'Noir' series returns with a follow-up....Each entry is strong, but the collection is worth reading alone for Poppy Z. Brite's 'Mussolini and the Axeman's Jazz,' a delirious and brutal ghost story....Strongly recommended for fans of the Akashic anthologies and Hard Case Crime mysteries and lovers of New Orleans fiction. Devotees of Southern gothic fiction (e.g., the works of Flannery O'Connor and Tom Franklin.) will also find much to enjoy."<br />--<b>
  <i>Library Journal</i>
</b>, Starred review<br /><br />"Smith, who edited Akashic's original <i>New Orleans Noir</i> (2007), goes back for a second trip to the Big Easy."<br />--<b>
  <i>Kirkus Reviews</i>
</b><br /><br />"A riveting read."<br />--<b>Back to Books</b><br /><br />"Eighteen diverse stories...capture the feeling of this fascinating city. <i>New Orleans Noir: The Classics</i> embraces the city's rich literature and spans two centuries, from the pre–Civil War era to post-Katrina."<br />--<b>Underrated Reads</b><br /><br />"This anthology really has the feel of New Orleans....I enjoyed this batch of stories. Good ones all the way through. Give it a try."<br />--<b>Journey of a Bookseller</b><br /><br />Akashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with <i>Brooklyn Noir</i>. Each volume comprises stories set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city.<br /><br /><b>Classic reprints from:</b> James Lee Burke, Armand Lanusse, Grace King, Kate Chopin, O. Henry, Eudora Welty, Tennessee Williams, Shirley Ann Grau, John William Corrington, Tom Dent, Ellen Gilchrist, Valerie Martin, O’Neil De Noux, John Biguenet, Poppy Z. Brite, Nevada Barr, Ace Atkins, and Maurice Carlos Ruffin.<br /><br />From the introduction by <b>Julie Smith</b>:<br /><br /><i>"A glittering constellation of writers has passed through New Orleans--including Mark Twain, Sherwood Anderson, O. Henry, and even Walt Whitman, to name some of the not-so-usual suspects. Then there are the ones whose sojourns here are better known, the ones on whom we pride ourselves, such as Tennessee Williams, William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Ellen Gilchrist, and James Lee Burke.<br /><br />It was an anthologist's feast--just about everybody who came to New Orleans wrote about it. But there were surprises as well...<br /><br />If you're from New Orleans, the neighborhood theme will resonate like Tibetan temple bells. And yet, surely every city has similar hoods, similar behavior patterns, similar travails--and has had them forever. 'Indeed,' wrote Voltaire, 'history is nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes.'"</i><br />]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[...Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for three hundred years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.<br /><br />He turned to the first page and read:<br /><br />I, Strahd, Lord of Barovia, well aware certain events of my reign have been desperately misunderstood by those who are better at garbling history than recording it, hereby set down an exact record of those events, that the truth may at last be known . . . .<br /><br />He caught his breath. By all the good gods, a personal journal?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Years ago, Nora Bridge walked out on her marriage and left her daughters behind. Now she is a famous talk show host. Her daughter Ruby is a struggling comedienne. The two haven’t spoken in more than a decade. Then a scandal from Nora’s past is exposed, and Ruby is offered a fortune to write a tell-all about her mother. Reluctantly, she returns to the family house on Summer Island, a home filled with frayed memories of joy and heartache. Confronting a past that includes a never-forgotten love, a sick best friend, and a mother who has harbored terrible family secrets, Ruby finally begins to understand the complex ties that bind a mother and daughter—and the healing that comes with forgiveness.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Four mothers, four daughters, four families, whose histories shift with the four winds depending on who's telling the stories. In 1949, four Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, meet weekly to play mahjong and tell stories of what they left behind in China. United in loss and new hope for their daughters' futures, they call themselves the Joy Luck Club. Their daughters, who have never heard these stories, think their mothers' advice is irrelevant to their modern American lives – until their own inner crises reveal how much they've unknowingly inherited of their mothers' pasts.<br /><br />With wit and sensitivity, Amy Tan examines the sometimes painful, often tender, and always deep connection between mothers and daughters. As each woman reveals her secrets, trying to unravel the truth about her life, the strings become more tangled, more entwined. Mothers boast or despair over daughters, and daughters roll their eyes even as they feel the inextricable tightening of their matriarchal ties. Tan is an astute storyteller, enticing readers to immerse themselves into these lives of complexity and mystery.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[At thirty-six, Quoyle, a third-rate newspaperman, is wrenched violently out of his workaday life when his two-timing wife meets her just deserts. He retreats with his two daughters to his ancestral home on the starkly beautiful Newfoundland coast, where a rich cast of local characters all play a part in Quoyle's struggle to reclaim his life. As three generations of his family cobble up new lives, Quoyle confronts his private demons--and the unpredictable forces of nature and society--and begins to see the possibility of love without pain or misery.<br /><br />A vigorous, darkly comic, and at times magical portrait of the contemporary American family, The Shipping News shows why E. Annie Proulx is recognized as one of the most gifted and original writers in America today.<br />(back cover)]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[One of the most extraordinary literary works of the twentieth century, Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned in England and the United States after its initial publication in 1928. The unexpurgated edition did not appear in America until 1959, after one of the most spectacular legal battles in publishing history.<br /><br />With her soft brown hair, lithe figure and big, wondering eyes, Constance Chatterley is possessed of a certain vitality. Yet she is deeply unhappy; married to an invalid, she is almost as inwardly paralyzed as her husband Clifford is paralyzed below the waist. It is not until she finds refuge in the arms of Mellors the game-keeper, a solitary man of a class apart, that she feels regenerated. Together they move from an outer world of chaos towards an inner world of fulfillment.<br /><br />For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[In the year 28 A.D. the people of Frisia, a previously loyal province, were suffering under the oppression of the Roman magistrate, a former Centurion named Olennius. So blinded by greed had he become that he had taxed the populous well beyond their means to produce. Now impoverished and risking starvation, the Frisians did the unspeakable and sought open rebellion as their only means of survival.<br /><br />The Emperor Tiberius, now living in self-imposed isolation on the isle of Capri, is deeply troubled upon hearing that such a staunchly loyal province would seek to throw off the rule of Rome. Nevertheless, he orders the mobilization of the Army of the Rhine to suppress the Frisians back into docile submission, never knowing the real reasons as to the origins of the rebellion.<br /><br />As the Twentieth Legion marches north into Frisia on its first major campaign in eight years, Centurion Artorius finds himself facing his first major battle since taking over his Century. Years of relative peace, combined with the mass discharges of many of his veteran soldiers have left the ranks filled with a number of young and inexperienced legionaries. For over a third of his men this will be their first action. The Frisians in their desperation know that they face death either by starvation in peace, or slaughter on the battlefield. For Artorius and his legionaries the crucible of war will end in heartbreak; for only after the devastation of battle does the truth arise.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Tory Brennan, niece of acclaimed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan (of the Bones novels and hit TV show), is the leader of a ragtag band of teenage "sci-philes" who live on a secluded island off the coast of South Carolina. When the group rescues a dog caged for medical testing on a nearby island, they are exposed to an experimental strain of canine parvovirus that changes their lives forever.<br /><br />As the friends discover their heightened senses and animal-quick reflexes, they must combine their scientific curiosity with their newfound physical gifts to solve a cold-case murder that has suddenly become very hot--if they can stay alive long enough to catch the killer's scent.<br /><br />Fortunately, they are now more than friends--they're a pack. They are Virals.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A rare mix of wit, social satire, and suspense, along with characters who leap from the page to speak directly to the reader, As Husbands Go is a moving story about a love that just won't give up.<br /><br />Call her superficial, but Susie B Anthony Rabinowitz Gersten assumed her marriage was great—and why not? Jonah Gersten, MD, a Park Avenue plastic surgeon, clearly adored her. He was handsome, successful, and a doting dad to their four-year-old triplets. But when Jonah is found dead in the Upper East Side apartment of second-rate “escort” Dorinda Dillon, Susie is overwhelmed with questions left unanswered. It’s bad enough to know your husband’s been murdered, but even worse when you’re universally pitied (and quietly mocked) because of the sleaze factor. None of it makes sense to Susie—not a sexual liaison with someone like Dorinda, not the “better not to discuss it” response from Jonah’s partners. With help from her tough-talking, high-style grandma Ethel, who flies in from Miami, she takes on her snooty in-laws, her husband’s partners, the NYPD, and the DA as she tries to prove that her wonderful life with Jonah was no lie.<br /><br />Susan Isaacs brilliantly turns the conventions of the mystery on end as Susie Gersten, suburban mom, floral designer, and fashion plate, searches not so much for answers to her husband's death as for answers to her own life.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>The only English translation authorized by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn </b><br /><br />First published in the Soviet journal <i>Novy Mir</i> in 1962, <i>One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich</i> stands as a classic of contemporary literature. The story of labor-camp inmate Ivan Denisovich Shukhov, it graphically describes his struggle to maintain his dignity in the face of communist oppression. An unforgettable portrait of the entire world of Stalin's forced work camps, <i>One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich</i> is one of the most extraordinary literary documents to have emerged from the Soviet Union and confirms Solzhenitsyn's stature as "a literary genius whose talent matches that of Dosotevsky, Turgenev, Tolstoy"--Harrison Salisbury<br /><br />This unexpurgated 1991 translation by H. T. Willetts is the only authorized edition available, and fully captures the power and beauty of the original Russian.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[When an infected bolt of cloth carries plague from London to an isolated village, a housemaid named Anna Frith emerges as an unlikely heroine and healer. <br /><br />Through Anna's eyes we follow the story of the fateful year of 1666, as she and her fellow villagers confront the spread of disease and superstition. <br /><br />As death reaches into every household and villagers turn from prayers to murderous witch-hunting, Anna must find the strength to confront the disintegration of her community and the lure of illicit love. <br /><br />As she struggles to survive and grow, a year of catastrophe becomes instead annus mirabilis, a "year of wonders." <br /><br /><i> Inspired by the true story of Eyam, a village in the rugged hill country of England, <b>Year of Wonders</b> is a richly detailed evocation of a singular moment in history. </i>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[As a newly minted Assistant U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C., Anna Curtis has already developed thick skin to deal with the brutality she encounters with her daily stack of domestic violence cases. Yet when Laprea Johnson walks into Anna’s life—battered by her boyfriend on the morning after Valentine’s Day—there’s something about this particular case that Anna can’t quite shake, something that reminds the prosecutor of her own troubled past. <br /><br />At the trial, Laprea makes a last-minute reversal, lying on the witness stand to free her boy-friend. Shortly after he is freed, Anna is horrified to hear that Laprea’s body has been found in a trash heap. Hastily assigned to prosecute the murder case alongside intimidating chief homicide prosecutor Jack Bailey, Anna’s heart sinks when she learns that her own boyfriend, public defender Nick Wagner, is representing the accused. <br /><br />Torn between bringing the killer to justice and saving her personal life, Anna makes a series of choices that jeopardizes her career, her relationships, and her very life as she uncovers the shocking truth behind the murder.]]></book_description>

Her old friends had a dangerous new   dangerously thin and dressed to  kill!<br /><br />Was something sinister going on? A handsome  new diet doctor had won over the richest  widows on the island with his weight-loss secrets -- and his very  personal attention. But when sudden death was  seved up along with delightful Down East dishes (try sinfully rich Scrimshaw Inn Rum Pie or tangy Nantucket Cranberry Cup Pudding!), the inimitable Mrs. Potter knew it was time to stir the pot and come  up with a devilishly clever culinary killer.]]></book_description>
