Robin Marchesi's brilliant autobiographical book is at once a fine work of literature, and an uplifting if grim inspirational work to encourage those grappling with drug addiction. In any case, it is fascinating reading for the poetically minded in general. Mr. Marchesi's journal intermingles equally powerful threads of pure poetry and stream of consciousness prose. In Part I (Rosales), Mr. Marchesi vividly and richly captures the true story of his travels across Europe in 1979 and the epiphany of his incarceration in the Spanish Foreign Legion prison at Ceuta. In Part 2 (Mission) he recounts his journey to San Francisco around 1999 to rescue a young protege who was badly hooked on junk. Mr. Marchesi echoes something of the dark intensity of the earlier Beat Generation (a touch of Kerouac, Ferlinghetti, and City Lights) as well as his own 1960s generation. More importantly, he convincingly and artistically captures the timelessness of what happens when human beings and dangerous substances mix in bad ways. Despite moments of despair, he never loses sight of his optimism.

The quiet community of Twin Lakes, Texas is rocked when Susan Delgrave, wife of the high school English teacher, is brutally murdered. What sort of evil crawled into their town when they weren't looking? Homicide detective Barbara Hobkins, is thrust headlong into the investigation. A product of the "new direction" in law enforcement, her strength comes from a degree in psychology and a natural instinct for solving crimes. Neither attribute is looked upon highly by her boss or the political powers that pull his strings. Convinced the real killer is also responsible for a series of murders in Dallas, Hobkins tracks him to his seedy hidey-hole. There, her investigation turns into a chilling race for her life, and she almost becomes a victim of Doubletake.

Autumn of the Republic: The Generals of October, 20th Anniversary Edition is an entertaining thriller -- and also important food for thought.   As a Constitutional Convention (CON2) Unfolds, across the panoramic backdrop of Washington D.C. in its worst crisis since the Civil War, two young Army officers conduct a murder investigation -- and stumble on a conspiracy by military and corporate leaders to seize the government.   Captain David Gordon and Lieutenant Victoria ‘Tory’ Breen investigate the disappearance of a Coast Guard computer expert who knew too much. As their investigations intersect, so do their passions -- but the national crisis cannot wait. Can they stop the plot of the Generals of October, who want to throw out the U.S. Constitution we have known since 1787, and install an entirely new one that means tyranny and injustice for all while corporate profits skyrocket?  This is the first major update on Seven Days in May, which was a bestselling novel and blockbuster movie with an all-star cast half a century ago. Dark Cold War paranoia is obsolete -- but, as Oklahoma City 2005 and New York City 9-11 proved, there is no shortage of deadly enemies both inside and outside our nation.   If you love intense, brainy thrillers like Seven Days in May, Three Days of the Condor, The Parallax View, or The Lost Constitution, here is a powerful companion story. New Author Preface contains fascinating background details and fascinating info -- more at the author's personal website (johntcullen).
