Book excerpt: A military aviator investigates a suspicious death in a novel of mystery, action, and intrigue set against the backdrop of the First World War. They found the officer hanging in his hut—another man who couldn’t take the relentless pressure of flying operations, it seemed. His fellow officers hadn’t liked him much anyway. Besides, what was one more death among the thousands dying on the Western Front? Except that this man’s family had connections to Field Marshal Kitchener, and no one wanted him distracted on the eve of the big push on the Somme. So Investigator Miller is sent to the squadron to tie up the loose ends, to tidy the incident away. For some reason they think he is well-equipped for that sort of thing. But it’s all Miller can do to keep himself alive, flying daily over enemy lines. And then he finds the suicide isn’t quite as straightforward as it’s supposed to be. Particularly when a second man turns up dead, purportedly shot with his own pistol . . . Set against the backdrop of the Great War and infused with a sense of intrigue and high drama, this is a novel of unsettling force. With a keen eye for detail, David J. Oldman evokes the brutality of mud-spattered battlefields and aerial combat, bringing the reader right up close to the action. As events spiral and the war continues to impact upon the investigation, On Wings of Death creates a real sense of unease and urgency as it barrels toward an unexpected, fascinating conclusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK 2022 "When I think about the fact that society, a nation, has sentenced me to death, all I can do is turn inside myself, to the place in my heart that wants so desperately to feel human, still connected to this world, as if I have a purpose." The moving memoir of a Death Row inmate who discovers Buddhism and becomes an inspirational role model for fellow inmates, guards, and a growing public In 1990, while serving a sentence in San Quentin for armed robbery, Jarvis Jay Masters was implicated as an accessory in the murder of a prison guard. A 23-year-old Black man, Jarvis was sentenced to death in the gas chamber. While in the maximum security section of Death Row, using the only instrument available to him—a ball-point pen filler—Masters's astounding memoir is a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit and the talent of a fine writer. Offering us scenes from his life that are at times poignant, revelatory, frightening, soul-stirring, painful, funny and uplifting, That Bird Has My Wings tells the story of the author’s childhood with parents addicted to heroin, an abusive foster family, a life of crime and imprisonment, and the eventual embracing of Buddhism. Masters’s story drew the attention of luminaries in the world of American Buddhism, including Pema Chodron, who wrote a story about him for O Magazine and offers a foreword to the book. Thirty-two years after his conviction, Masters is still on Death Row. A growing movement of people believe Masters is innocent, and are actively working within the legal system to free him.
