Book excerpt: When a crime on a beautiful Italian island stumps the police, locals turn to the trusted elderly widow Nonna Maria in this transporting mystery from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lorenzo Carcaterra, “one of the all-time greats” (Jeffery Deaver). “An utterly delightful tale starring one of the most charming amateur sleuths ever created.”—Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of Listen to Me Nonna Maria has lived on Ischia, an island in the Gulf of Naples, her entire life. Recognizable by the widow’s black she’s worn every day for decades, she always has pasta on the stove and espresso in the pot for the neighbors who stop by to ask her advice on life and love. Everyone knows her, and she knows everyone’s business. So if something goes wrong, islanders look to her, not the local carabinieri, to find the solution. When a recently engaged woman confesses that she’s afraid her fiancé, a stranger to Ischia with a murky past, might not be who he seems, Nonna Maria helps her disappear so she can investigate the true nature of her betrothed. The stranger has also raised the suspicions of Captain Murino of the carabinieri, but he’s occupied investigating the death of a tour boat captain who drowned in the wee hours of the morning. Captain Murino believes it was an accident, but Nonna Maria knows the man was a born sailor and too good a swimmer to drown, no matter how much wine he might have drunk. While Captain Murino has his hands full, she pours herself a glass of white wine and gets to work, even though getting involved will expose her to the dangers lurking just beneath the surface of her idyllic home.

Download or read book Two Brothers written by Frank Briganti and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late fifties, as more and more immigrants migrated to the U.S., in a way it was kind of disheartening for them because they had to go through some kind of physical checkup and some were held in quarantine until the authorities were satisfied with the outcome of whatever the illness was. The percentage of these cases, were very low and eventually they were accepted into this country, which today that is not the case. This particular family had no such problems and that made the transition much enjoyable. These two particular brothers were unique in their own ways and accepted what life put in front of their paths. They faced the problems and the pleasures of life, without having someone else take responsibility for their actions, even though at times the actions that they took were not the most favorable ones. It was rare that they disagreed on whatever they had to do, but as human beings, we have our moments where we as individuals are never wrong. Even though age between two brothers as they grow up makes a difference, there comes that special moment when at a certain age, equality just introduced itself to them and they handled it very well.
