Nothing is what it seems in the offbeat and out-of-the-way town of Eureka, California. Shrouded in fog and hidden behind a curtain of redwoods, this rundown mill town is home to a peculiar cast of characters, a unique homegrown horticultural industry, and one of the last bookstores in America.

No one is more surprised by the unlikely survival of the Firebreathing Dragon than Lewis Hartman, its newest owner. By the time his uncle Sy died and left the bookstore to Lewis, even the most ardent bibliophiles had abandoned printed books in favor of a charming and highly literate digital device called the Gizmo. Bookstores all over the country had closed their doors. But somehow, the Firebreathing Dragon has kept going.

Lewis and his wife Emily find themselves in the unlikely position of owning one of the last bookstores in America. But how has the Firebreathing Dragon managed to survive the death of the book? And if it isn’t keeping itself afloat selling books, what is it selling? Reporters, federal agents, and corporate executives out to salvage their own imperiled industries all converge on the bookstore to uncover its secrets. What they discover is a small town that has fallen under the spell of the Firebreathing Dragon’s unique offerings.

In her first work of fiction, bestselling author and bookstore owner Amy Stewart takes an offbeat and lighthearted look at small-town life and the future of that marvelous two thousand year-old communication device, the printed book.

“Trust me. This is the only baby book you’ll ever need! It’s amazing, heartwarming, and completely user-friendly. Just add your heart!”
– Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Mother-Daughter Wisdom, The Wisdom of Menopause and Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom

Why are there increasing numbers of children experiencing depression, anxiety, aggression and other serious mental, emotional and behavioral problems? Mental health experts agree that this crisis is due largely to their lack of deep connectedness to parents and community. This crucial finding requires a major shift in societal attitudes and our treatment of children. In this book, you’ll learn:

• Important facts you need to know before and after having your baby
• Strategies to strengthen the emotional bonds with your child
• How to be a more conscious parent with your children
• New information to help you make informed decisions
• How raising our children with empathy and respect can positively affect society

No other parenting book is as comprehensive in its scope, from an overview of attachment theory and current child development research to practical strategies for everyday situations. Attached at the Heart is a vital blueprint for change that begins in the home.

High-profile Denver criminal defense lawyer Stephen Stepper accepts a retainer from a mysterious client he has only spoken to by phone and has never met in person. When someone tries to kill Stepper, he suspects it’s his mystery client and hires solo attorney Jackie Jax to find out who he is. What follows is a edgy thriller where nothing is black and white, no one is safe and tomorrow may never come.

If a new translation of Herodotus does not justify itself, it will

hardly be justified in a preface; therefore the question whether it was needed may be left here without discussion. The aim of the translator has been above all things faithfulness -faithfulness to the manner of expression and to the structure of sentences, as well as to the meaning of the Author. At the same time it is conceived that the freedom and variety of Herodotus is not always best reproduced by such severe consistency of rendering as is perhaps desirable in the case of the Epic writers before and the philosophical writers after his time: nor again must his simplicity of thought and occasional quaintness be

reproduced in the form of archaisms of language

De Prologo:

“En una ma?ana fr?a y h?meda llegu? por primera vez al inmenso pa?s de los Estados Unidos. Iba el steamer despacio, y la sirena aullaba roncamente por temor de un choque. Quedaba atr?s Fire Island con su erecto faro; est?bamos frente a Sandy Hook, de donde nos sali? al paso el barco de sanidad. El ladrante slang yanqui sonaba por todas partes, bajo el pabell?n de bandas y estrellas. El viento fr?o, los pitos arromadizados, el humo de las chimeneas, el movimiento de las m?quinas, las mismas ondas ventrudas de aquel mar esta?ado, el vapor que caminaba rumbo a la gran bah?a, todo dec?a: all right. Entre las brumas se divisaban islas y barcos. Long Island desarrollaba la inmensa cinta de sus costas, y Staten Island, como en el marco de una vi?eta, se presentaba en su hermosura, tentando al l?piz, ya que no, por falta de sol, a la m?quina fotogr?fica. Sobre cubierta se agrupan los pasajeros: el comerciante de gruesa panza, congestionado como un pavo, con encorvadas narices israelitas; el clergyman huesoso, enfundado en su largo levit?n negro, cubierto con su ancho sombrero de fieltro, y en la mano una peque?a Biblia; la muchacha que usa gorra de jockey, y que durante toda la traves?a ha cantado con voz fonogr?fica, al s?n de un banjo; el joven robusto, lampi?o como un beb?, y que, aficionado al box, tiene los pu?os de tal modo, que bien pudiera desquijarrar un rinoceronte de un solo impulso…”

The Canine Good Citizen test, introduced by the American Kennel Club in recent years, hardly requires a special course of training-designed to certify that a dog has basic obedience skills, the CGC consists of 10 simple exercises for the dog, from sitting “politely” for petting to walking on a loose leash to a down-stay with the owner 20 feet away. But passing the CGC is as good a goal as any in dog training, and the Volhards (he is coauthor, with Bartlett, of What All Good Dogs Should Know; she has made award-winning training films) do a wonderful job of arming the reader with skills, techniques and philosophies. Their discussions are succinct and sober: a remarkably cogent section about teaching specific postures (sit, heel, etc.) and practices is preceded by a concise discussion of managing stress while training; a “Pack Leader’s Bill of Rights” simplifies the often-clouded concept of pack theory; a schedule suggests the expected rate of progress. However, a “personality profile” aiming to help tell the reader which “drive” (prey, pack or defense) most motivates a given dog has pop appeal, but offers little beyond the obvious; you don’t need to be Konrad Lorenz to know what motivates your own dog.

“…purebred or mixed, with this book any dog can become a Canine Good Citizen…. The Volhards’…approach to training, which they call the Motivational Method,…is designed to do just that—motivate the owner and the dog. The Motivational Method is grounded on a thorough knowledge of how people learn and dog behavior. Since 1983 they have authored or co-authored four major books on dog training and teaching dog Obedience classes, and have produced four video tapes. I am…pleased that they have written this book on the Canine Good Citizen. I cannot think of anyone else who could have done a better job. This book contains everything the reader needs to know about training any dog to become a Canine Good Citizen. Still, there is much more—the book shares a wealth of insights for the beginner, as well as the experienced dog person. The book’s best feature is that it gives each person the means to tailor the training to the individual dog’s character and temperament. It thoroughly explains what makes dogs different and how these differences dictate the approach to training that needs to be taken.” –James E. Dearinger, AKC Vice President, Obedience

The American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen program was developed to promote responsible dog ownership in a manner that would be easy for both dog and owner. Any book that promotes and encourages dog owners to participate is doing a public service, and this book does it well.

“This book is aptly named. Yes, every dog, both pure-bred dogs and mixed breeds, can be a good citizen if their owners care enough to make it happen. The key is to encourage dog owners everywhere to be responsible enough to make their dogs a pleasure to be around and able to handle most situations that they might be expected to encounter in everyday life.” –Robert H. McKowen AKC Vice President, Performance Events
A Howell Dog Book of Distinction

Classic novel, in the original French. According to Wikipedia: “Alexandre Dumas, pere (French for “father”, akin to ‘Senior’ in English), born Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie (July 24, 1802 – December 5, 1870) was a French writer, best known for his numerous historical novels of high adventure which have made him one of the most widely read French authors in the world. Many of his novels, including The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, and The Vicomte de Bragelonne were serialized, and he also wrote plays and magazine articles and was a prolific correspondent.”

“Tariq Ramadan, a prominent intellectual-activist in Europe and America, represents a new generation of Islamic reformers.” –John L. Esposito, author of Unholy War and What Everyone Needs to Know about Islam
“Tariq Ramadan is a Muslim Martin Luther.”–Paul Donnelly, The Washington Post
“Ramadan’s most important message–his advice to Muslims in the West to make the West their home–is one Americans should particularly welcome.”–Alan Wolfe, The Chronicle of Higher Education
“Ramadan has started to pave out the road to reform and changes in the understanding of Islam in Muslim communities in the West.”–Le Monde Diplomatique
“Deliberately brief, sensible and accessible…. What I Believe is not just a summary of Ramadan’s own views but a primer on modern Western Muslim life.”–Publishers Weekly starred review

Tariq Ramadan is very much a public figure, named one of Time magazine’s most important innovators of the twenty-first century. He is among the leading Islamic thinkers in the West, with a large following around the world.  But he has also been a lightning rod for controversy. Indeed, in 2004, Ramadan was prevented from entering the U.S. by the Bush administration and despite two appeals, supported by organizations like the American Academy of Religion and the ACLU, he is still barred from the country at this time. In What I Believe, Ramadan attempts to set the record straight, laying out the basic ideas he stands for in clear and accessible prose. He describes the book as a work of clarification, directed at ordinary citizens, politicians, journalists, and others who are curious (or skeptical) about his positions. Aware that that he is dealing with emotional issues, Ramadan tries to get past the barriers of prejudice and misunderstanding to speak directly, from the heart, to his Muslim and non-Muslim readers alike. In particular, he calls on Western Muslims to escape the mental, social, cultural, and religious ghettos they have created for themselves and become full partners in the democratic societies in which they live. At the same time, he calls for the rest of us to recognize our Muslim neighbors as citizens with rights and responsibilities the same as ours. His vision is of a future in which a shared and confident pluralism becomes a reality at last.

In the mid sixties, homemaker Jan Birch maintains a tight circle of friends in her Upstate New York suburban neighborhood. When the divorcée down the street is murdered, the women attribute her death to a hobo they’d seen months before. Quickly, though, Jan begins to suspect that the hobo had left the neighborhood long before and the murderer may be one of her dear friends.

If you snicker at the notion of a book devoted to pet bereavement, consider that that very lack of sympathy may have brought the book into being. Sife, a Brooklyn, N.Y.-based psychotherapist and the founder of the Association for Pet Bereavement, addresses the pet owner whose grief at a pet’s death is largely misunderstood or even ridiculed by friends, associates and society in general. Although his topic easily lends itself to touchy-feely disquisitions, Sife is to be commended for offering information that is not only compassionate but concise, wide-ranging and, above all, practical. For example, he defines stages of grieving, interpolating case studies to demonstrate those instances where expressions of mourning mask deeper problems. He composes dignified rejoinders to those who launch a “perceived assault” on the reader’s grief; explains why the rupture of a human-animal bond can be so devastating; offers specific techniques for dealing with anger; explores the special needs of children whose pets die; presents various factors involved in considering euthanasia, including such particulars as whether or not it is beneficial to remain with the pet until its final breath; and polls leaders of various religions. A superb contribution to a growing field.

This book is considered erotica writing. The author uses language and situations that some people may find offensive.

Presents newly edited texts of nine essays–including some of Thoreau’s most popular and engaging works–drawing from his writing career between 1842 and 1862. The collection highlights Thoreau’s early use of themes and approaches that recur throughout his work, including explorations of internal and external geography.
(Times Higher Education )

Students of textual editing should study this production as a model of the meticulous layers of investigation required to reach the highest standards of their craft. Thanks to Moldenhauer and the many others who assisted with this work, scholars and general readers now have, at long last, a critical text of Thoreau’s beloved nature essays, a text that reproduces as closely as possible Thoreau’s authorial intentions.
(Laura Dassow Walls New England Quarterly )

Excursions presents texts of nine essays, including some of Henry D. Thoreau’s most engaging and popular works, newly edited and based on the most authoritative versions of each. These essays represent Thoreau in many stages of his writing career, ranging from 1842–when he accepted Emerson’s commission to review four volumes of botanical and zoological catalogues in an essay that was published in The Dial as “Natural History of Massachusetts”–to 1862, when he prepared “Wild Apples,” a lecture he had delivered during the Concord Lyceum’s 1859-1860 season, for publication in the Atlantic Monthly after his death. Three other early meditations on natural history and human nature, “A Winter Walk,” “A Walk to Wachusett,” and “The Landlord,” were originally published in 1842 and 1843. Lively, light pieces, they reveal Thoreau’s early use of themes and approaches that recur throughout his work. “A Yankee in Canada,” a book-length account of an 1850 trip to Quebec that was published in part in 1853, is a fitting companion to Cape Cod and The Maine Woods, Thoreau’s other long accounts of explorations of internal as well as external geography. In the last four essays, “The Succession of Forest Trees” (1860), “Autumnal Tints” (1862), “Walking” (1862), and “Wild Apples” (1862), Thoreau describes natural and philosophical phenomena with a breadth of view and generosity of tone that are characteristic of his mature writing. In their skillful use of precisely observed details to arrive at universal conclusions, these late essays exemplify Transcendental natural history at its best.

Starred Review. Two murders committed 400 years apart form the core of British author Mills’s outstanding second novel (after Amagansett, which won a CWA Dagger Award). In 1958, Cambridge undergraduate Adam Strickland, who’s studying a curious Tuscan Renaissance garden for his art history thesis, is equally intrigued by both the garden of the Villa Docci estate and its elderly owner, Signora Francesca Docci. Built by the villa’s first owner, Federico Docci, in 1577, the garden was intended as a memorial to his wife, Flora, who died when she was only 25. In the course of his research, Adam begins to sense that events, both past and present, are not as clear-cut as they appear. In particular, he discovers that there are several versions of the death of Signora Docci’s oldest son, Emilio, who was shot by the villa’s German occupiers at the end of WWII. Adam is hailed by all when he comes up with a novel theory explaining Flora’s death in 1548, but when he begins to speculate on Emilio’s demise, he finds himself in serious danger. This engrossing literary novel, like Amagansett, deserves to be a bestseller. (May)

Mills’ second novel carves out new territory for the British author, whose superb debut, Amagansett (2004), told the story of a Basque fisherman on Long Island. This one, though still set in the post-World War II era, takes place in Tuscany, where Adam Banting, a Cambridge architecture student, is doing research on a famous Renaissance garden. But as he digs into the history and iconography of the garden, he comes to believe that the seemingly tranquil bower offers a road map to how its original owner murdered his wife. Similarly, as Adam learns more about the family who now owns the garden, he follows the trail of a more contemporary murder. This sort of jumping between historical and contemporary crimes has become commonplace, even cliched, in highbrow literary thrillers, but Mills uses the technique effectively, generating tension on both fronts and introducing some dizzying plot machinations. Adam is a bit too callow to hold our attention the way the robust Basque did in Amagansett, but there is plenty here to captivate those who like high culture mixed with high crime (fans of Iain Pears, for example).

Darwin Stephenson’s message in Inspiration Divine reveals a simple understanding of how discovering one’s purpose will bring about the enlightenment of both yourself and all of humanity. By distinguishing what we are and why we’re here, Inspiration Divine provides a prescription for evolving beyond our current physical existence to a Spiritual existence.

Whereas science and religion struggle to find common ground, Inspiration Divine reveals an understanding of our Universe, God and Humanity to bring evolution, physics and the Divine into a single theory. Filled with timely and powerful tools for transformation, Inspiration Divine brings a Spiritual practice into the reality of our everyday lives by helping us awaken to the messages from the Divine that are all around us.

In Dr. Steven Covey’s wonderful book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, he says that we develop private power so that as adults we can effectively join into community and exercise public power to serve those around us. One daily way to prepare ourselves for service, he says, is to visualize in the morning that we put on a “cloak of service to humanity” so that we go through the day searching for opportunities to be of assistance and benefit to those around us. To be effective, this search must be penetrating because many of the greatest opportunities to serve are hidden or invisible.

This story tells how I found finding a great opportunity to serve, I found the answers to the age-old questions: Why am I here? What is my purpose? What shall I do with my life?

“What Lincoln does brilliantly is dispel the popular myth that the LHC was built solely to discover the Higgs boson, or ‘God particle’. This is a project with a far wider reach… His fresh analogies and insights make this book very readable.” — Valerie Jamieson, New Scientist

“I deeply enjoyed Lincoln’s very accessible discussions of antimatter and Cerenkov radiation. And the in-depth explanations of what the different calorimeters and solenoids do inside the LHC’s vast underground accelerator are fascinating.” — Sally Adee, IEEE Spectrum Magazine

“The Quantum Frontier: The Large Hadron Collider should be in every physics library: it offers an exciting assessment of the Large Haldron Collider, which runs between France and Switzerland, and surveys just why its opening is so significant. You needn’t be a physicist to appreciate its importance, and the clear explorations in layman’s terms imparts excitement. Perfect for any general lending library strong in science.” — Midwest Book Review

“A Fermilab scientist conveys the excitement surrounding the LHC.” — Science News

“The Quantum Frontier… prepares readers with what they can anticipate when the LHC becomes operational.” — John S. Rigden and Roger H. Stuewer, Physics in Perspective

“Don Lincoln’s book should be in the hands of everyone interested in physics — even if only vaguely. It conveys the excitement particle physicists feel — and everyone else should feel — about the start of the Large Hadron Collider.” — Gabor Domokos, The Johns Hopkins University

The highest-energy particle accelerator ever built, the Large Hadron Collider runs under the border between France and Switzerland. It leapt into action on September 10, 2008, amid unprecedented global press coverage and widespread fears that its energy would create tiny black holes that could destroy the earth.

By smashing together particles smaller than atoms, the LHC recreates the conditions hypothesized to have existed just moments after the big bang. Physicists expect it to aid our understanding of how the universe came into being and to show us much about the standard model of particle physics — even possibly proving the existence of the mysterious Higgs boson. In exploring what the collider does and what it might find, Don Lincoln explains what the LHC is likely to teach us about particle physics, including uncovering the nature of dark matter, finding micro black holes and supersymmetric particles, identifying extra dimensions, and revealing the origin of mass in the universe.

Thousands of physicists from around the globe will have access to the LHC, none of whom really knows what outcomes will be produced by the $7.7 billion project. Whatever it reveals, the results arising from the Large Hadron Collider will profoundly alter our understanding of the cosmos and the atom and stimulate amateur and professional scientists for years to come.

According to Wikipedia: “The Douay-Rheims Bible, also known as the Rheims-Douai Bible or Douai Bible and abbreviated as D-R, is a translation of the Bible from the Latin Vulgate into English. The New Testament was published in one volume with extensive commentary and notes in 1582. The Old Testament followed in 1609–10 in two volumes, also extensively annotated. The notes took up the bulk of the volumes and had a strong polemical and patristic character. They also offered insights on issues of translation, and on the Hebrew and Greek source texts of the Vulgate. The purpose of the version, both the text and notes, was to uphold Catholic tradition in the face of the Protestant Reformation which was heavily influencing England. As such it was an impressive effort by English Catholics to support the Counter-Reformation. Although the Jerusalem Bible, New American Bible (in the United States), the Revised Standard Version, the New Revised Standard Version and the New Jerusalem Bible are the most commonly used in English-speaking Catholic churches, the Challoner revision of the Douay-Rheims is still often the Bible of choice of English-speaking Traditionalist Catholics.” In response to a customer request, we improved the formatting of this file on 8/4/2009.

The Great Good Place has put into words and focus what I’ve been doing all my life, from the barbershop I remember as a child to the bookstore I now own. My goal at Horizon Books is to provide that third place in which people can “hang out.” Ray Oldenburg has defined those good places while still recognizing the magical chemistry they require. The Great Good Place is a book to read, to recommend, and to quote. — Victor W. Herman, owner of Horizon Books, with locations in Traverse City, Petoskey, and Cadillac, Michigan

A book that should be read by everyone in North America over the age of 16 — The World of Beer

A day doesn’t go by that I don’t refer to Ray Oldenburg’s The Great Good Place. At a time when all great, good independent bookstores everywhere are under siege, we’re fortunate that Mr. Oldenburg has articulated our message so clearly. — Mitchell Kaplan, owner of Books & Books, Miami, Florida

Examines gathering places and reminds us how important they are. People need the ‘third place’ to nourish sociability. — Parade

Oldenburg believes that the powerful need in humans to associate with one another will inevitably lead to the revival of places where, as the theme song to the TV show Cheers so aptly put it, ‘everyone knows your name.’ We’ll drink to that. — Booklist

Ray Oldenburg is inspirational. He is the first to recognize and articulate the importance of the greeting place (third place) for the well-being of the individual and society at large. — Ron Sher, President, Terranomics Development and founder of Third Place Books, Seattle, Wash.

The great value of this book is that Mr. Oldenburg has given us an insightful and extremely useful new lens through which to look at a familiar problem. — New York Times Book Review

This wonderful and utterly important book verifies our need for fun through conversation in “great good places.” Oldenburg writes passionately of our country’s current and urgent problems resulting from our ever-increasing social isolation and provides us with a very simple solution. America must read and react to this rational common-sense solution to salving our stressed lives. And our government needs to promote, permit, and zone responsible neighborhood hospitality, recognizing the value of “a vital informal life.” — Lynne Breaux, owner, Tunnicliff’s Tavern, Washington, D.C.

Well-written, informative, and often entertaining. — Newark Star-Ledger

The Great Good Place argues that “third places” – where people can gather, put aside the concerns of work and home, and hang out simply for the pleasures of good company and lively conversation – are the heart of a community’s social vitality and the grassroots of democracy.

Thoreau’s famous essay is the source of inspiration for the pages of this journal, with plenty of open space to record your inner journey as you walk or rest.

Emma Woodhouse is a young woman in Regency England. She lives with her father, a valetudinarian who is principally characterized by excessive concern for the health and safety of his loved ones. Emma’s friend and only critic is the gentlemanly Mr. Knightley, her “neighbour” and brother of her sister’s husband. As the novel opens, Emma has just attended the marriage of Miss Taylor, her old governess and best friend. Having introduced Miss Taylor to her future husband Mr Weston, Emma smugly takes credit for their marriage, and decides that she rather likes matchmaking.

Very short story about a general from the future who is sent to the present in order to procure an item to save humanity.

“Layne sucks you in and doesn’t let go until the last page.”—Love Romance Passion.com

Joanna Watson, a recently divorced top surgical nurse in picturesque Statesville, North Carolina, is frustrated with her stalled career and dead-in-the-water sex life when she suddenly finds herself trapped in an elevator with an unknown, abrasive Yankee surgeon, Dr, Harlan Wilkinson. The elevator gets stuck, the lights go out, and spontaneous, hot-n-heavy sex commences. Joanna is mortified at her own behavior—and yet she thirsts for more. Meanwhile, Joanna’s colleague Shirley Daniels—an overworked, underpaid nurse-anesthetist who’s neglected her personal life for years because she’s been busy caring for her dying parents—-finds her own hidden sensual side awakened by Dr. Harlan Wilkinson, too. And these two romantic rivals are sure to get into some sticky situations before all is said and done.Vital Signs is a sexed-up, small-town version of Grey’s Anatomy—a busy, high-pressure hospital environment that is a perfect breeding ground for hot sex and hotter sexual tension.

Written over a seven-year period, from 1914 to 1921, this book has survived bowdlerization, legal action and controversy. The novel deals with the events of one day in Dublin, 16th June 1904, now known as “Bloomsday”. The principal characters are Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly. Ulysses has been labelled dirty, blasphemous and unreadable. In a famous 1933 court decision, Judge John M. Woolsey declared it an emetic book–although he found it not quite obscene enough to disallow its importation into the United States–and Virginia Woolf was moved to decry James Joyce’s “cloacal obsession”. None of these descriptions, however, do the slightest justice to the novel. To this day it remains the modernist masterpiece, in which the author takes both Celtic lyricism and vulgarity to splendid extremes. It is funny, sorrowful, and even (in its own way) suspenseful. And despite the exegetical industry that has sprung up in the last 75 years, Ulysses is also a compulsively readable book.

Around 60,000 years ago, a man, identical to us in all important respects, walked the soil of Africa. Every man alive today is descended from him. How did he come to be father to all of us – a real-life Adam? And why do we come in such a huge variety of sizes, shapes, types and races if we all share a single prehistoric ancestor?\n\nIn this fascinating book, Spencer Wells shows how the truth about our ancestors is hidden in our genetic code, and reveals how developments in the cutting-edge science of population genetics have made it possible not just to discover where our ancestors lived (and who they may have fought, loved, learned from and influence) but to create a family tree for the whole of humanity.

In bestseller Kellerman’s solid 18th novel to feature L.A. police detective Lt. Peter Decker and his wife, Rina (after The Mercedes Coffin), Rina finds that some jury duty should include hazardous duty pay. A shooting rampage at the 70-acre compound and mansion owned by shopping mall magnate Guy Kaffey leaves Kaffey, his wife and two guards dead. Kaffey’s oldest son, Gil, apparently was left for dead and two other guards are missing. A plethora of suspects and motives has Decker and his colleagues looking at Guy’s brother, Mace, and Guy’s younger son, Grant, as well as the missing guards, other household staff, the remaining off-duty staff and possibly business rivals. Decker’s cool professionalism is thoroughly tested when a chance courtroom encounter thrusts Rina into the case and puts her in harm’s way. Kellerman expertly keeps interlocking investigations moving along with a minimum of confusion but plenty of doubt as to the guilty party or parties. (Aug.)

LAPD homicide detective Peter Decker and his wife, Rina Lazarus, will be blindsided by a brutal multiple murder in this twisting tale of suspense from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman. “They say dead men don’t talk, but if you listen, they do.” As a lieutenant in the LAPD, homicide detective Peter Decker doesn’t get many calls at 3 a.m. unless a case is nasty, sensational-or both. Someone has broken into the exclusive Coyote Ranch compound of billionaire developer Guy Kaffey and viciously gunned him down, along with his wife and four employees. A well-known figure on both the business and society pages, Kaffey, with his sons and his younger brother, Mace, built most of the shopping malls in Southern California and earned a reputation for philanthropy, donating millions to worthy causes. It doesn’t take long for Peter, his trusted detectives Scott Oliver and Marge Dunn, and the rest of his homicide team to figure out that the gruesome killings must be an inside job. Things become even more entangled when they discover that Kaffey’s largesse had included organizations that extended second chances to delinquents, many of whom Kaffey had hired for his personal security. But was the job pure murder/robbery or something even more twisted? A developer of Kaffey’s magnitude doesn’t make billions without making more enemies with blood grudges. With leads taking the team across L.A., up and down the Golden State, and into Mexico, Decker is plenty busy-and plenty thankful not to have to worry about his wife, Rina Lazarus, getting caught up in this deadly case. Rina is out of harm’s way, serving on a jury at the courthouse. But then a chance encounter with a court translator who needs her help leads Rina into the terrifying heart of her husband’s murder investigations-and straight into the path of a gang of ruthless killers. To protect Rina, Decker must find his prey before death unites his two worlds. A fast-paced tour through the urban landscape of L.A., Blindman’s Bluff is a riveting mile-a-minute thrill ride from a formidable master of her craft.
