What if someone walked into surgery and awoke quadriplegic -- never having been warned of this risk? What if someone not only survived but also endured the horrors of this disability with hope and humor? What if that someone traveled, worked, entertained, returned to school, earned a masters degree, a law degree and got married? What if someone wrote a funny and tearful book about it? Someone did. That book is The Squeaky Wheel -- an Unauthorized Autobiography and is the first book to honestly and humorously deal with acquiring a major disability and the profound loss and injustices that accompany paralysis. This book focuses on the author's accomplishments without straining to pat him on the back. This memoir does not back away from the details of degradation, urine, ignorance and indifference from the unknowing.

In Brian Shaughnessy's second novel in his UNDER series, the detectives from his first book, MAN UNDER, are now members of the Major Case Squad, and are faced with the unlikely prospect of having the ghost of an NYFD hero of 9/11 for a murder suspect. Members of a city disciplinary board who would have relieved firefighter Tommy Bowen of his job and pension had he not been killed saving lives at the twin towers on 9/11, are being systematically murdered. And a witness has identified the murderer from a picture of Bowen.
