It's the story of a lurid murder in San Francisco. The case of Jordan Alexander, the accused socialite, would have never gone to trial if district attorney Peter Granucci hadn't been preparing to run for mayor. Granucci choses Destiny Mitchell, a young black woman, to prosecute Jordan, the mayor's best friend, in this difficult and highly publicized case. Jordan is accused of brutally murdering his wife in her Pacific Heights home. He denies any involvement and suggests that his wife was murdered by black gang members. It is a case that no one, including Granucci, believes Destiny can win. The shocking conclusion comes 14 years later in a dramatic courtroom showdown. Disturbingly violent at times, sexy, racially-charged and full of intrigue, "Legal Thriller" is perfectly set to be the next legal genre blockbuster.

Literature & Fiction

In the moment American President Joseph Whitmore announces that Nostradamus, an 8-mile-wide metallic asteroid is on a collision course with Earth, the world is forever changed. Scientists predict that up to 95% of all life will perish in fire, flood and the resulting cosmic winter. Humans will cease to exist. As the world reacts to Whitmore’s ominous revelation, chaos ensues—moral depravity, starvation, terrorism, governmental collapse—and yet hope endures. Robert E. Lee, the leader of America’s consolidated militias, rejects the notion of a pending asteroidal impact. He accuses the federal government of duplicity, suggesting some covert, diabolical motive for the announcement. He and followers in Wyoming proclaim secession from the United States. Initially dismissed as paranoia, Lee’s seeds of distrust sprout in America as many begin to suspect that President Whitmore, Jett Turner, his Machiavellian National Security Advisor, and the Trilateral Commission, a powerful secret society, have a hidden agenda. In an underground fortress in Colorado’s Sangre di Cristo Mountains, scientist Don Smock heads the government’s secret Lazarus Project. Smock hopes to launch an ark containing 44 humans in cold stasis into outer space. At the end of cosmic winter, the ark will return humans to Earth. Geneticist Isabel Benoit will ensure the future human population will be superior to the one that perished. Animals, plants and other life forms are to be cryogenically preserved in the underground refuge, awaiting reintroduction by humans into Earth’s biosphere. Spiritual persons sense a higher design. Religious interpretation is varied. Adventists see the asteroid’s approach as the second coming of Christ. Some see it as Judgment Day, wherein the good will be raptured instantly to heaven and the wicked will be burned on Earth. Minister Jonah Williams believes that if we exercise faith, God may yet save us at the last possible moment. Others accept the event as the completion of an ageless cosmic cycle. Finally, there are a few who pursue truth. Davis Franklin is the computer expert charged with developing the software for the government’s Lazarus Project computers. In a world growing more chaotic as the days count down, Davis and friends desperately seek the truth that will either save the world or forever damn it.

The Tenor

The Tenor is a sweeping epic tale of historical fiction in the style of Ann Patchett's "Bel Canto" and De Burniere's "Captain Corelli's Mandolin." It swiftly moves from Pino Vaggi's youth in pre-war Italy, to his coming of age as a soldier in war-torn Greece, before ending in a shattering surprise finale at Maria Callas' historic final performance ever on the stage of New York's Metropolitan Opera House in 1965. It is based loosely on the stories and anecdotes that I learned from several of Maria Callas' personal friends and from nearly a dozen trips to Italy and Greece to research the subject.

This introduction to British history begins with the geographical description of the island itself which, Roy Strong believes, has shaped the nation, its people and its politics. Invasions, migrations, civil wars, and two world wars have all been influenced by Britainâ€s uneasy relationship with mainland Europe, while a desire for self-sufficiency produced the empire and the Industrial Revolution. This new edition has been extended to cover the years from 1996 to the 2016 EU referendum.

Selected as a Top Ten Book of the Year by The Washington Post: the newly discovered last novel by the author of The Three Musketeers. Rousing, big, spirited, its action sweeping across oceans and continents, its hero gloriously indomitable, the last novel of Alexandre Dumas―lost for 125 years in the archives of the National Library in Paris―completes the oeuvre that Dumas imagined at the outset of his literary career. Indeed, the story of France from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, as Dumas vibrantly retold it in his numerous enormously popular novels, has long been absent one vital, richly historical era: the Age of Napoleon. But no longer. Now, dynamically, in a tale of family honor and undying vengeance, of high adventure and heroic derring-do, The Last Cavalier fills that gap.
