Secrets 

Orphaned fifteen-year-old Judith Sparrow brings two secrets to her uncle's house in South Carolina: one, that her grief-stricken mother died in a madhouse, the other that she has disobeyed the only condition to living in her uncle's home -- nothing green is allowed in the house. 

Judith can't bear to part with the photograph of her mother in its lovely green silk frame. Surely this one small defiance will not jeopardize the happiness she finds in South Carolina -- with a family at last, and new friends, especially Zeke Carey, the miller's son. 

But Uncle Geoffrey's house holds a secret of its own. And Judith's small picture frame, hidden away at the bottom of her trunk, unleashes a powerful force that seems determined to bring that secret into the open. Or is Judith simply following her mother down the path toward madness?

PW called this period ghost story about an orphaned girl who moves a great distance to live with her only relatives "a satisfying spine-tingler." Ages 10-14.

All three books in C.J. Cherryh's epic The Faded Sun trilogy, Kesrith, Shon'jir, and Kutath, collected in one volume.

They were the mri—tall, secretive, bound by honor and the rigid dictates of their society. For aeons this golden-skinned, golden-eyed race had provided the universe mercenary soldiers of almost unimaginable ability. 

But now the mri have faced an enemy unlike any other—an enemy whose only way of war is widespread destruction. These "humans" are mass fighters, creatures of the herb, and the mri have been slaughtered like animals. Now, in the aftermath of war, the mri face extinction. 

It will be up to three individuals to save whatever remains of this devastated race: a warrior—one of the last survivors of his kind; a priestess of this honorable people; and a lone human—a man sworn to aid the enemy of his own kind. Can they retrace the galaxy-wide path of this nomadic race back through millennia to reclaim the ancient world that first gave them life?

The last of John Steinbeck’s play-novelettes, Burning Bright was the author’s final attempt after 1937’s Of Mice and Men and 1942’s The Moon is Down to create what he saw as a new, experimental literary form.  Four scenes, four people: the husband who yearns for a son, ignorant of his own sterility; the wife who commits adultery to fulfill her husband’s wish; the father of the child; and the outsider whose actions will affect them all. In this turn on a medieval morality play, Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck casts an unwavering light on these four intertwined lives, revealing in their finely drawn circumstances the universal contours of vulnerability and passion, desperation and desire.

Writing separately, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle are responsible for a number of science fiction classics, such as the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Ringworld, Debt of Honor, and The Integral Trees.Together they have written the critically acclaimed bestsellers Inferno, Footfall, and The Legacy of Heorot, among others. 

The Mote In God's Eye is their acknowledged masterpiece, an epic novel of mankind's first encounter with alien life that transcends the genre.

In the year 3016, the Second Empire of Man spans hundreds of star systems, thanks to the faster-than-light Alderson Drive. No other intelligent beings have ever been encountered, not until a light sail probe enters a human system carrying a dead alien. The probe is traced to the Mote, an isolated star in a thick dust cloud, and an expedition is dispatched.

In the Mote the humans find an ancient civilization--at least one million years old--that has always been bottled up in their cloistered solar system for lack of a star drive. The Moties are welcoming and kind, yet rather evasive about certain aspects of their society. It seems the Moties have a dark problem, one they've been unable to solve in over a million years.

Concerned that her son Chad may have become involved with a woman of dubious reputation, the formidable Mrs. Newsome sends her 'ambassador' Strether from Massachusetts to Paris to extricate him. Strether's mission, however, is gradually undermined as he falls under the spell of the city and finds Chad refined rather than corrupted by its influence and that of his charming companion, the comtesse de Vionnet. As the summer wears on, Mrs. Newsome comes to the conclusion that she must send another envoy to Paris to confront the errant Chad, and a Strether whose view of the world has changed profoundly. James' favorite novel and one of the greatest of his late works, The Ambassadors is a subtle and often witty exploration of different American responses to a European environment.

An inside tour of the incredible—and probably dangerous—plans to counteract the effects of climate change through experiments that range from the plausible to the fantastic

David Battisti had arrived in Cambridge expecting a bloodbath. So had many of the other scientists who had joined him for an invitation-only workshop on climate science in 2007, with geoengineering at the top of the agenda. We can't take deliberately altering the atmosphere seriously, he thought, because there’s no way we'll ever know enough to control it. But by the second day, with bad climate news piling on bad climate news, he was having second thoughts. When the scientists voted in a straw poll on whether to support geoengineering research, Battisti, filled with fear about the future, voted in favor.

While the pernicious effects of global warming are clear, efforts to reduce the carbon emissions that cause it have fallen far short of what’s needed. Some scientists have started exploring more direct and radical ways to cool the planet, such as:

• Pouring reflective pollution into the upper atmosphere
• Making clouds brighter
• Growing enormous blooms of algae in the ocean

Schemes that were science fiction just a few years ago have become earnest plans being studied by alarmed scientists, determined to avoid a climate catastrophe. In Hack the Planet, Science magazine reporter Eli Kintisch looks more closely at this array of ideas and characters, asking if these risky schemes will work, and just how geoengineering is changing the world.

Scientists are developing geoengineering techniques for worst-case scenarios. But what would those desperate times look like? Kintisch outlines four circumstances: collapsing ice sheets, megadroughts, a catastrophic methane release, and slowing of the global ocean conveyor belt.

As incredible and outlandish as many of these plans may seem, could they soon become our only hope for avoiding calamity? Or will the plans of brilliant and well-intentioned scientists cause unforeseeable disasters as they play out in the real world? And does the advent of geoengineering mean that humanity has failed in its role as steward of the planet—or taken on a new responsibility? Kintisch lays out the possibilities and dangers of geoengineering in a time of planetary tipping points. His investigation is required reading as the debate over global warming shifts to whether humanity should Hack the Planet.

Ex-CIA and now freelance agent Scorpion hunts a faceless enemy—a mysterious Iranian known only as “the Gardener”—in Andrew Kaplan's Scorpion Deception, the electrifying third installment of the espionage series that Suspense magazine says “matches the best of Ludlum, and then surpasses it.”

Files containing highly classified information on CIA assets have been stolen from the U.S. embassy in Switzerland by a well-armed and well-trained hit squad.

Under intense political pressure to find those who orchestrated the attack, the CIA turns to the deadliest agent they know: Scorpion. But Scorpion is unwilling to get involved...until he learns his name is at the top of the stolen list.

Scorpion, a strong, intelligent, and lethal action hero, must travel to Iran to hunt down “the Gardener” before an all-out war erupts in this sensational spy thriller.

Beat The Track contains the most logical, most successful, easy-to-follow selection method from an expert who has fooled the most respected handicappers.

"Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight--how to get from shore to food and back again," writes author Richard Bach in this allegory about a unique bird named Jonathan Livingston Seagull. "For most gulls it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight." Flight is indeed the metaphor that makes the story soar. Ultimately this is a fable about the importance of seeking a higher purpose in life, even if your flock, tribe, or neighborhood finds your ambition threatening. (At one point our beloved gull is even banished from his flock.) By not compromising his higher vision, Jonathan gets the ultimate payoff: transcendence. Ultimately, he learns the meaning of love and kindness. The dreamy seagull photographs by Russell Munson provide just the right illustrations--although the overall packaging does seem a bit dated (keep in mind that it was first published in 1970). Nonetheless, this is a spirituality classic, and an especially engaging parable for adolescents. --Gail Hudson

Richard Bach with this book
does two things.
He gives me Flight.
He makes me Young.
For both I am deeply grateful.        --Ray Bradbury

Has it just been one of those days? Or months? Or years? I was once in a yoga class (a rare yoga class, I’ll admit), where the teacher had us all exhale again and again and again, until—as she put it—we’d let go of today, the last month and, by the end, “the whole of last year.” We all collapsed in very non-yogic giggling. But we knew what she meant. Exhale. Let it all go.

     To exhale, I stop “doing Life” and start to wind down and engage in soothing rituals like lighting a candle.

     And then I take to my bed.

     Perhaps you need to do the same? . . .

     Gather up your pillows and a box of Kleenex, a novel and some tea . . . sink back against those soft pillows and dream. It’s time to rest, rejuvenate, and appreciate just how glorious life really is.

“Who but Sophia Stuart, creator of the delightful teamgloria.com, could make ‘taking to one’s bed’ seem like a victory instead of defeat? In her lovely book of hours, she weaves together wisdom and witticisms, slowly convincing you that you have been chasing all the wrong things in this mad, mad world. Fortunately, she instantly provides the antidote: cashmere blankets, a pot of tea, and a gentle, encouraging nudge that tells you to open your eyes and see the world anew. A necessary book. And an irresistible one, too.”

—Stacy Morrison, author of Falling Apart in One Piece and former editor in chief of Redbook magazine

“Andrew Kaplan represents a gold standard for thriller writing.”
—David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of The Brotherhood of the Rose

Espionage fiction is hotter than ever, as evidenced by the phenomenal success of Daniel Silva, Alex Berenson, and Ted Bell—and Andrew Kaplan plays the spy game as well as anyone out there. Following his stunning thriller, Scorpion Betrayal (which superstar author Harlan Coben called, “one of the smartest, swiftest and most compelling spy novels I’ve read in years”),  Kaplan plunges his tough, code-named intelligence operative into the dangerous fray once more in Scorpion Winter. The ex-CIA agent-turned-freelance spy is on assignment in Russia, disturbing a hornet’s nest of assassination and political intrigue that could erupt in all-out global war in this electrifying espionage thriller that will enthrall Robert Ludlum, Brad Thor, and Vince Flynn fans.

Annie Phillips is thrilled to leave her past behind and begin a shiny new life on Belvedere Island, as a nanny for the picture-perfect Cohen family. In no time at all, she falls in love with the Cohens, especially with Libby, the beautiful young matriarch of the family. Life is better than she ever imagined. She even finds romance with the boy next door. 

All too soon cracks appear in Annie's seemingly perfect world. She's blamed for mistakes she doesn't remember making. Her bedroom door comes unhinged, and she feels like she's always being watched. Libby, who once felt like a big sister, is suddenly cold and unforgiving. As she struggles to keep up with the demands of her new life, Annie's fear gives way to frightening hallucinations. Is she tumbling into madness, or is something sinister at play? 

The Ruining is a complex ride through first love, chilling manipulation, and the terrifying depths of insanity.

This is the novel that everyone in Oakdale is talking about.

This is the scandal they can't ignore.

It's a major event in Oakdale -- a black-tie gala honoring the Marron family's fifty years of support for Oakdale's Memorial Hospital. But high spirits are cut short when patron of honor Gregory Marron Jr. is delivered in his limo dead on arrival, from an apparent heart attack. Three women in the crowd have reasons of their own to suspect murder. . . .

Event organizer Katie Peretti never understood her boyfriend Mike Kasnoff's reasons for not attending the party -- until now. Wrongly implicated in a crime against the Marrons, Mike served a stiff sentence, and has nursed a simmering rage ever since. Maddie Coleman, the teenaged sister of the limo's driver, Henry, knows that her brother owed Marron thirty-thousand dollars. She also knows he couldn't pay him back, and had only one recourse for permanently erasing the debt. Carly Snyder's suspicions are more personal. The wife of police detective Jack Snyder, Carly was one of Marron's mistresses. In a heated moment she wanted her shameful past dead and buried -- a wish her husband possibly honored.

Now Katie, Maddie, and Carly, each of them desperate to protect the man they love, are crossing paths in an investigation that's uncovering more poisonous secrets in Oakdale than they ever imagined. The means, motives, and suspects are shifting with each new twist -- and one of these determined women may not live to see the killer revealed.

How women 35-50 can overcome forgetfulness, mood swings, insomnia, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and otehr telltale signs of hormonal imbalance

If you are a woman in your late thirties or forties and are experiencing mood swings, free-floating anxiety, memory lapses, inability to concentrate, sleep disturbances...it is not all in your head, and you are not alone.

This compassionate and comprehensive book covers everything you need to know about perimenopause -- the changes that occur in the decade before menopause -- including: How much of what you're feeling is due to fluctuating levels of estrogen. Menopause, by contrast, corresponds to a lack of estrogen. Knowing the difference is crucial to getting the right treatment. This book includes the most effective medical therapies and natural remedies and reveals why low-dose birth-control pills are the best cycle regulators: myths and realities, what you can do about missing periods, gushing periods, and periods that seem never to end, how to avoid hysterectomy and D&C, how you can prevent weight gain during perimenopause and ways to reignite your sex drive.  Addressing women's most common concerns about perimenopause, as well as many questions women tend to be afraid to ask their doctors, Could It Be...Perimenopause? provides the facts you need to make smart decisions, and enables you to understand and feel in control of the changes taking place in your body.

The H.O.T. Cops: Trained to impose the law, but naturally skilled at enforcing pleasure. 

Rogan Wolfe is a bad boy cop—the lone wolf on the force and in need of something new to excite him. Now he’s transferred to sexy South Beach in Miami—working undercover and looking for a fresh start. 

April Pediston is the epitome of responsible—overworked and under pressure as a high-powered attorney. Then one night, unwinding at an oceanside club she’s never frequented before, she locks eyes with a stranger. 

Rogan and April don’t seem a natural match. She’s a total professional. He’s rough around the edges and ready for anything—making April feel totally out of control. And, to her surprise, exhilarated. But stripped of her starched suit, can she really succumb to his every demand? They’re headed to a place of desire and reawakening that’s about to change both their lives.

“This book offers you an opportunity to internalize and directly experience the great wisdom of the Tao Te Ching, a collection of verses authored by the Chinese prophet Lao-tzu.

“The words Tao Te Ching translate to ‘living and applying the Great Way.’ Although just 81 short verses, the Tao encourages you to change your life by literally changing the way you think. By reading through the verses presented here (which I’ve pieced together after reviewing hundreds of translations)—along with the corresponding affirmation I’ve created for each verse—you’ll be embarking on a path that encompasses the profound ideas that Lao-tzu intended to convey.

“The Tao Te Ching offers you Divine guidance on virtually every area of human existence. It is a new way of thinking in a world that needs to recapture its ancient teachings. Work with the verses and affirmations regularly and you will come to know the truth behind the ancient Tao observation: When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

If You're Fed Up Of Mediocre Income And All The Short-Term Money-Making Fads You've Been Trying, Up Until Now... Then It's Time To Put It All Behind You And Become The Next Ace List Builder!

If you have been immersed in the Internet Marketing space for at least a few months, surely you have seen some fads come and go...

Make money from Facebooking is NOT something I would call a 'solid business model' - not when the social network keeps changing every now and then because Mark Zuckerberg and his team feels like it.

The Search Engine Optimization game will NEVER be the same for too long. Take a look at the history of Google Slap, Google Panda, Google Penguin (and whatever is going to come next...)

The Adwords and Pay-Per-Click game is NOT like what they used to be. As soon as some keywords start yielding high value you will pay more per click and eventually your conversions and back-end funnels won't be enough to cover even your up front cost!

Even the affiliate marketing game CHANGES. Old redundant promotion techniques like whipping up a one-page review site get shortlived when everyone else picks up the same method and do it too!

You may have witnessed some of these trend changes. And they all have one direction in common: DOWN.

If you have to keep learning and relearning new techniques to ride on every trend, making money online is going to be a struggle. And how LONG can you last?

In Short, You NEED Your Own Mailing List!

It's tried. It's tested. It stands the test of time.

You won't be at the mercy of shortlived trends because email is an essential Internet tool - and everyone with an Internet access has an email account.

Once you get people onto your mailing list, it's yours. They have already given you their permission to email them, and you can be making money just sending emails to them.

How long does it take to write an email? No more than five minutes of your time.

How often can you send emails to them? As often as you want! (I prefer to send once a day but it's up to everyone's preference)

How much money can you make? Well, the more email subscribers you have, the more potential income you can make - literally with the click of the mouse!

I Hate To Break It To You... If You Don't Have A Mailing List - You Don't Have Much Of A Business!

By 'mailing list' I don't mean just a list of names and email addresses. If no one on your list is a willing buyer, you can't start lining your pockets.

While most Level 1 amateurs don't have a list (and resort to animal instincts to make money online), I suspect the Level 2 marketers already have their own auto-responder and may have some subscribers already.

Except that they are NOT making money yet.

You need a pool of hot, hungry buyers waiting to give you money every time you ask for it - not an ocean of tire-kickers!

Your Subscribers Need You MORE Than You Need Them!

Over the years, I have applied every technique I know to build my list to build, support and grow my business. Some worked like gangbusters, while others were just a waste of time and money. In the end, I distilled techniques that worked and kept using them to generate new customers to make sales to.

The best part is that all the time throughout, whenever a fad bursts it has little or no effect on my profits.

Because I don't build my business on shaky grounds. And I certainly don't waste my energy and efforts on anything I suspect is just a passing trend. As fad bubbles pop and the latest moolah-making technique is exposed for the fraud it is, I continue to chug cash into my PayPal account, ClickBank account...

You get the drift.

If you've been struggling online but you know a thing or two about internet marketing, then fate may have brought you to this page.

Why?... Because you can make good money selling services that webmasters and internet marketers are already looking for.

Fact Is... You may have been neglecting some of your talents and abilities up until now. We're not talking about complex services here. You CAN pull this off. All it takes is the desire to do so.

Imagine Getting Paid Good Money For This...

If you can pull off at least one of these services, then you can make money with it...

Designing banners - yes people need banners because they want to promote their product! If you can create a half-decent looking banner then you've got customers will to pay you.

Creating website headers - webmasters and marketers alike need to present their products. Headers are perfect for this and can add value to their websites - again something that you can provide!

Designing websites - why not take it a step further and do a complete design package? Provide more value, then charge accordling. It's not uncommon for designers to charge $500+ for graphics!

Writing services - marketers need products to sell, articles to add to their blogs, reports to give away as gifts, and eBooks to sell! If you can research a topic and write about it then expect to be paid for it!

Technical services - if you're capable of setting up a blog, installing a .html website, setting up an online script, or even programming for that matter then there's a mass of people willing to pay you!

Installation services - with the ever increasing number of 'turn-key' resell rights products there is a need for installation services hands down!

Seriously! It's NOT Rocket Science!

Many of these sevices you can learn (or have already learned) in just a few hours. Yet these simple skills can become your new cash cow.

If you've been doing affiliate marketing or selling your own products up until now with little or no success, then you should take a swing at selling services.

So Why Do Services Sell So Well?

There's a good reason...

Because people are lazy and they often don't know what they're doing either.

You can ride in on your white horse, save the day, and best of all get paid for it.

Don't Know What To Charge?... Don't Worry!

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you've even sold a single service before!

I'm going to take you by the hand and walk you through how you can make a big splash... maybe faster and easier than you ever dreamed possible.

Why? Because this course was created from REAL experience.

And I can tell you now... There's nothing scary about selling services! Especially when you know how to get the right clients (which I'll show you.)

And here's the real beauty of it...

There are so many ways to generate clients, even if you don't have an e-mail list.

You've Probably Seen The Other Big Service Providers Out There

They never have to worry about where their next check is coming from.

They have relationships with their clients.

They're the go-to-guys and go-to-girls everyone goes to in order to get things done.

You can be sure there will ALWAYS be work available because services are ALWAYS in high demand and marketers need things done - ALL THE TIME!

Things change rapidly online, as you already know. You can always learn new skills to offer as a service if needed. But the demand for services never changes.

About the Author

Lacey Alexander strives to take her readers on the ultimate erotic adventure, and she hopes her stories will encourage women to embrace their sexual fantasies. Lacey resides in the Midwest with her husband, and when not penning romantic erotica, she enjoys studying history and traveling, often incorporating favorite destinations into her work.

This is not a book of casual curses, but a book of peace and justice. Angels are powerful beings that can be called to work great and wrathful wonders. If your sincere intent is to cause harm, confusion or disruption, the angels will comply.

This book has not been written for those who seek spiritual enlightenment (although that may well arise from your work), but for those who seek results. Should you have any fear that this work is evil or an abuse of angelic contact, then read no further. This book is for those who have sensed the might of angels and wish to turn their power to deeds that many would believe to be dark.

Far from being the delightful creatures of peace found in New Age artwork, angels are spiritual beings of immense strength, and this strength can manifest as wrath. Whether you are new to magick or quite experienced, this book will introduce you to a lesser-known group of angels. When called in various combinations, these angels have the power to cause devastation to your enemies. Such workings are as powerful as a curse, and often more targeted and cunning.

There are twenty-nine powers to be revealed.

The angels can bind, destroy defenses, remove wealth and destroy a business, while rendering your victim too weak to respond and unable to see what you are doing.

You will have the power to silence and confuse, bringing illness and insomnia to those who trouble your life.

For more severe enemies, you can bring the wrath of judgment upon them, and remove their ability to find spiritual sanctuary.

You can produce hatred between those you name, while causing anxiety, dark moods and memory loss, with confusion of the heart and mind.

There is a ritual to prevent your enemies from working magick.

This angelic magick will only work if you are sincere in your intentions. It cannot be used to instigate casual cruelty. This is not a book of evil to delight the wicked, but a book of harmony. If you have been wronged, this book gives you the power to restore your personal peace.

From the world’s favorite manifestations author comes Thoughtless Magic and Manifestations, Richard Dotts’ most advanced and groundbreaking work on manifestations to date. In this latest book, bestselling author and spiritual explorer Richard Dotts not only builds upon the fundamental premise which he has explored in his previous 23 international bestsellers, but also takes the science of manifestations to a whole new level with his latest discovery of how various non-verbal protocols can be used for effective manifestations. 

Existing readers of Richard Dotts’ works will know that he has always advocated taking a light touch when it comes to manifesting our desired good. The core of his teachings revolve around the timeless spiritual truth that a light intention, when held purely in our consciousness, is all it takes to create magic and miracles on the outside. In turn, how fast things manifest for us depends on the purity of our intentions and the calmness of our inner states. 

Those who have trouble manifesting their desires usually find it difficult to “purely” ask for what they want without the corresponding intrusion of negative thoughts. These counter-intentions are the main reason why manifestations do not happen (or are delayed) for so many people. While traditional techniques can help in the reprogramming of our beliefs, the change process is usually slow and leads to considerable negative resistance. For example, repeating an affirmation about a desired positive outcome often throws up more negative feelings and sets up further counter-intentions instead. 

In Thoughtless Magic and Manifestations, Richard guides readers through the thoughtless manifestations process for the first time in print, a cutting-edge inner technology which allows one to hold their desired intentions purely until they manifest on the outside. Through the use of various non-verbal protocols designed to manifest specific outcomes in life, one is able to hold an extremely pure and laser-focused intention for whatever they desire without also stirring up the corresponding negative feelings. These non-verbal protocols can be applied to various situations in life, from solving problems, manifesting wealth and financial abundance to achieving optimal physical health. Richard also shows the reader how to create their own non-verbal protocols for specific situations. 

The thoughtless manifestations process represents an evolution in human consciousness and how we can use the power of our intentions to shape our reality. When you learn how to hold your intentions through the thoughtless manifestations process, you attract what you want purely while simultaneously silencing all negative thoughts and counter-intentions that hinder the process. What results is an extremely fast (and in many cases, instant) manifestation of your physical desires.

The cat-centric adventure continues, in the all-ages follow-up to The Handmaid’s Tale author Margaret Atwood's debut graphic novel.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Is it as good as Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs? No . . . this one is better.”—Stephen King, The New York Times Book Review

You  remember Hannibal Lecter: gentleman, genius, cannibal. Seven years have  passed since Dr. Lecter escaped from custody. And for seven years he’s  been at large, free to savor the scents, the essences, of an unguarded  world.

But intruders have entered Dr. Lecter’s world, piercing  his new identity, sensing the evil that surrounds him. For the  multimillionaire Hannibal left maimed, for a corrupt Italian policeman,  and for FBI agent Clarice Starling, who once stood before Lecter and who  has never been the same, the final hunt for Hannibal Lecter has begun.  All of them, in their separate ways, want to find Dr. Lecter. And all  three will get their wish. But only one will live long enough to savor  the reward. . . .

Praise for Hannibal

“Strap yourself in for one heck of a ride. . . . It’ll scare your socks off.”—Denver Post 

“A  stunner . . . writing in language as bright and precise as a surgeon’s  scalpel, Harris has created a world as mysterious as Hannibal’s memory  palace and as disturbing as a Goya painting. This is one book you don’t  want to read alone at night.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

This "brilliant caper" (New York Times) from bestselling author Elmore Leonard is a rollicking tale of modern urban crime featuring a cast of small-time criminals with big-time dreams.

Ernest Stickley Jr. figures his luck's about to change when Detroit used-car salesman Frank Ryan catches him trying to boost a ride from Ryan's lot. Frank's got some surefire schemes for getting rich quick—all of them involving guns—and all Stickley has to do is follow "Ryan's Rules" to share the wealth.

But sometimes rules need to be bent, maybe even broken to succeed in the world of crime, especially when the "brains" of the operation knows less than nothing.

Review

You will look long and hard before you find anyone with a bad word to say about Leonard. About the worst thing I can think of to say about SWAG is that it might be said to make armed robbery look like a enticing career move... if you haven't read him before, you are in for a treat. -- Nicholas Lezard The Guardian

“Leonard is tops in his field.”
—New Orleans Times-Picayune

The great Elmore Leonard, “America’s pre-eminent crime fiction writer” (Chicago Tribune), takes readers back to Prohibition days in the back hills of Kentucky in a rollicking story of guns, greed, and illegally brewed corn liquor. The Moonshine War is a tale of the chaos that ensues when a gang of city slickers sets out to steal thousands of dollars-worth of homemade whiskey from a hell-raising country boy—who is anything but the easy mark they were expecting. A rediscovered Elmore Leonard classic, The Moonshine War is a wild ride bursting with the author’s hallmark delights: the twisty plot, the gripping suspense, the wit and, of course, the razor-sharp dialogue. It’s no wonder that the creator of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens—lately the star of the hit TV series Justified—is always listed among the mystery and crime fiction elite, including John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker, and often at the very top of the list.

From the Back Cover

Prohibition is a big headache for some . . . and a big payday for others, the fearless entrepreneurs with little respect for the law of the land. With $125,000 worth of Kentucky's finest homemade whiskey in his possession, big, hell-raising Son Martin counts himself among the latter. Son knows having this much illegal hooch makes him a very tasty target, but nobody's going to steal it from him. Ware may be coming to his backyard, but Son's not worried. Because when it comes to fighting, shooting, and keeping one step ahead of the Big Boys, he's more than good—he's bad . . . and dangerous . . . and deadly.

Bigger Fish to Fry...

Slick, handsome Fred "Easy" Noggle had financially backstabbed everybody in town.  So when somebody finally killed him, no one cried foul.  Except his wife, Dr. Melissa McHagarty, now arrested for the crime.  She had every reason to kill her husband and the case against her is airtight.  Her only hope is ace trial lawyer Bomber Hanson.

Bomber, however, only takes cases he can win.  This one is, well, a loser.  His smitten son, Tod, however, works to find evidence to the contrary.  Melissa is desperate, but not much help, holding back as many secrets as unshed tears.  As a trail of drugs, hit men and scams only weakens Tod's already limited argument, he comes up with a hook that not only lures his father--but baits a killer.

...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.

He turned to the first page and read:

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 . . . .

He caught his breath. By all the good gods, a personal journal?
