Book excerpt: Neil Foster is 33-year-old minor league baseball umpire who is comparing what he was taught as a child in the Lutheran Church with what he has learned as an adult, such as how to rationalize dating 18-year-old Sara Miles, who is still in high school, because they both appear to be, more or less, in their mid-20's.Jesus Christ reprises the role made popular in the New Testament and visits, with the two discussing a variety of aspects of the human experience with particular emphasis on Neil's interpretations of the Sixth Commandment's dictates on sexual purity.Satan also appears, as both a golfer and an attorney, as does Neil's old friend Brad Wyler, now one of the planet's biggest rock stars, and Major Howard K. Opdahl, like Neil a former Marine, who was blinded during his service and has his own insights into the goddamned human experience.Taking place everywhere from small town USA to gracious suites and dive diners in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve to Dodger Stadium, Swords In The Narthex is a funny, thoughtful look at the human experience.

Book excerpt: Passion and betrayal, violent desperation, ambivalent love that hinges on hatred, and the quest for acceptance by those who stand on the edge of society-these are the hard-hitting themes of a stunningly crafted first collection of stories by the bestselling author of House of Sand and Fog. A vigilant young man working in a halfway house finds himself unable to defend against the rage of one of the inmates in the title story. In "White Trees, Hammer Moon," a man soon to leave home for prison finds himself as unprepared for a family camping trip in the mountains of New Hampshire as he has been for most things in his life.

With an incisive ability to inhabit the lives of his characters, Dubus travels deep into the heart of the elusive American dream.

Book excerpt: Central and Van Buren is a classic murder mystery novel set against the backdrop of Phoenix, Arizona in the late 1980's. It was a time of slow, expensive computers, floppy disks, no cell phones and no internet. The novel opens up with the fresh discovery on a normal Saturday morning of the homicide of Jack Peterson, a high-power attorney with the prestigious law firm of Casey and Bennett. He has been murdered in his office early, three telltale shots having done their lethal work strategically piercing his head, heart and groin. Jack's best friend and former law partner, Will Scott, is summoned by Jack's wife Marla Peterson to visit with the police, then look into the mysterious death of her husband. Both Marla Peterson and Will Scott fear that the police, headed by Miles Kilgore and James 'Jimmy' Ramos, have prejudged the case suggesting that Jack was involved in Mafia criminality gone wrong. Will jostles with the police while trying to balance his personal life now made even more complicated by his sometime girlfriend Teresa Garcia, who also is dating Det. Ramos. Past seeps into the present, making relationships complex and family issues more complicated. The Phoenix PD, the FBI and the Peterson family all have secrets to hide and confidences to keep. Just as one lead becomes promising, it dries up into dust just as quickly. After months of investigation, with the police and Will Scott crossing paths during separate investigations, the stakes only grow larger with the list of suspects. As time goes by, few changes and no new clues have been found. Then things explode as Will discovers a connection to mobster Frank Scarlatti and a mysterious young woman who appears out of nowhere and disappears just as quickly. Does she hold the key to solving this mystery? If so, why does she not wish to cooperate? Follow the story as Will Scott slowly and methodically unravels the shocking clues to his best friend's murder.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Premise: A mystery man named Esposito recruits eight anonymous L.A. crooks to fly to the French Riviera to stop a black-market art sale and steal twenty-five million dollars in Monaco during the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix car race. - From the author of The Monte Carlo Hustle: "I wanted to read a crime story that took place in Monaco the weekend of the Monaco Grand Prix. I wanted to jump into a fast car and go on an adventure. I wanted an escape. But I couldn't find a story like that to read. So, I visited Monaco. And I wrote this." - Belston Campfield - From the characters in The Monte Carlo Hustle: "Nobody's drinking. Good. There are guns involved now." - Mike "I'm drinking." - B "Then we'll shoot you first." - Mike - "Did you hook up with any bored Fontvieille housewives while I was out doing actual work?" - B "A few. They were pleasantly surprised. They expected American men to be uncultured and illiterate. So, we gave them your phone number." - Lou - "If you can't have fun in Monaco on race weekend, you can't have fun anywhere." - Mike - "I'm not really into tall women. But they're French. They have texture. And their English is terrible. So, who knows?" - McQueen - "Zuck, if you're right, and there's no twenty-five mil, I'm going to kill you and throw your body into the Mediterranean." - McQueen "Remember, I have a gun, too." - Zuck - "What'd you think of the quiet one, Brielle?" - B "Kind of a pill." - Lou "I told her you two were perfect for each other." - B - "Spanish prostitute left it behind a couple months ago. Crazy Claudia." - Mike "You remember her name?" - Lou "She lives on the third floor." - Mike "A prostitute lives in this building?" - Chief "Prostitution is legal in Monaco." - Mike - "By the way, what happened to your sacred Southern accent?" - B "Be the part." - McQueen said. "You sound like a high school graduate now." "Jealous?" - "You snorted coke?" - McQueen "Anything for the team." - B "You smell like you pissed yourself in booze." - Joe "I smell like a man." - B "He dies of a heart attack tonight, we'll be richer for it this time tomorrow." - Joe "I should be commended for my performance. Lesser men have won Oscars for theirs." - B Snippets from The Monte Carlo Hustle: - The off-ramp to Monaco led to a road that weaved up a hill to a peak that provided a postcard photo op below of the principality of Monaco, the Mediterranean Sea, and the mountainous terrain of the Maritime Alps that enveloped the country. - Dusk at the Buddha Bar on Race Eve felt like ground zero for the see-and-be-seen crowd. Electronica pulsated from the restaurant's patio speakers. Fashionably dressed thirty- and forty-something patrons-to-be mingled on the patio, which was enclosed by red velvet rope and stanchions. Those not inside the rope schmoozed on the sidewalk. Everybody was dressed so well that even the average-looking people looked inaccessible. - Lou and B had followed Team Trey through the streets of Monte Carlo before winding up in the cocktail lounge of the Fairmont Hotel. The Fairmont-a two-minute walk down the hill from the Buddha Bar-was located at the base of a long driveway off the Fairmont Hairpin, a tight corner of Monte Carlo's Avenue des Spélugues. The Fairmont Hairpin is also part of the Monaco Grand Prix racetrack and is one of the more severe turns in the course's serpentine layout.
