He despises his job at Stenson & Rhodes and often dreams of working at a golfing paradise in the Carolinas. He is in the wrong place at the wrong time when a group steals a briefcase and a book that contains secret codes and kidnaps him along with them. The valuable briefcase and book are the property of a trio of evil men, who will continue the search for their treasures no matter how many lives are destroyed. They want their possessions back, and will summon assassins to finish the job if necessary. During the roller coaster ride of his abduction, Preston is taken to a mysterious abandoned warehouse. He discovers that he has friends who are fighting for his freedom among those more concerned with finding the briefcase and book. Startling truths about his family and a massive cover-up link the old tattered briefcase and secret-coded book to an evil triumvirate, and Preston learns he may be far more involved than he originally believed.

Book excerpt: The setting is Boston, Massachusetts and its environs during the late 1950's. The story concerns the interrupted lives of two young friends, Bobby and Carlos, who were studying engineering at Northeastern University. Carlos has just been informed that he will be terminated by the University because of his failure to pass several of the mandatory English courses in the curriculum during the past few years. He is a Cuban national and his visa is contingent upon staying at the University. On the same day, Carlos receives a letter from his father, a prominent doctor and friend of President Fulgencio Batista. He is told that Fidel Castro and his forces are fast approaching Havana, and he has made the decision to immediately leave the island with Carlos's mother and sister. Under these circumstances Carlos can no longer return to his homeland without facing possible imprisonment or death. In an effort to console Carlos, Bobby agrees to go with him to one of his favorite Boston haunts, the Latino Club, where Carlos has friends. Unfortunately, they innocently find themselves in the middle of a brutal murder that has taken place in the men's room of the club and in self defense, they suddenly become killers themselves. During the course of their escape from the men's room, Bobby notices a briefcase apparently left by one of the individuals who had been murdered. He impulsively grabs it while running out and successfully stashes it in one of Boston's well known parking garages. The briefcase, however, was securely locked, and in his haste, he never has the opportunity to determine what it contains. Carlos and Bobby are apprehended very quickly that same evening and unjustly sentenced to ten year prison terms at Concord Reformatory. The story also involves the life and experiences of Bobby's brother Alan who was a successful golf tour professional until an accident curtails his promising career. We follow his tender relationship with Judy, his childhood sweetheart who accompanied him on tour until she can no longer stand the mental anguish of watching a man destroy himself because he can no longer compete. After years of ambivalence we see how these two brothers come together to help each other. While in prison, an unscrupulous prison guard with a bent on shaking down his charges, researches the court transcripts of the case involving Bobby and Carlos. He surmises that a good deal of money should have been found at the crime scene, but never was. He begins to intimidate them in prison and eventually follows Bobby upon his release, thinking that he will head straight for the money. Bobby meets a very trusting young woman upon his release from prison who he confides in and falls in love with. Eventually he discovers a discreet way to get back to the briefcase in Boston by hiding in the trunk of Alan's car and having him park on the same floor of the parking garage where he had hidden the briefcase. His plan is successfully accomplished when he discovers that the briefcase is still where he had hidden it ten years earlier. However, shortly after re-entering Alan's car trunk with the briefcase, Alan's car is stolen from the garage and he finds himself on a hair raising ride to Providence. Ultimately he survives the experience, discovers that the briefcase contains a small fortune and some secret Soviet documents describing a biological warfare facility

Download or read book Guys Like Me written by Dominique Fabre and published by New Vessel Press. This book was released on 2014-01-19 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Fabre speaks to us of luck and misfortune, of the accidents that make a man or defeat him . . . [He] is the discreet megaphone of the man in the crowd” (Elle). Lifelong Parisian Dominique Fabre—author of The Waitress Was New—exposes the shadowy, anonymous lives of many who inhabit the French capital. In this quiet, subdued tale, a middle-aged office worker, divorced and alienated from his only son, meets up with two childhood friends who are similarly adrift, without passions or prospects. He’s looking for a second act to his mournful life, seeking the harbor of love and a true connection with his son. Set in palpably real Paris streets that feel miles away from the City of Light, Guys Like Me is a stirring novel of regret and absence, yet not without a glimmer of hope. “Fabre’s unexpectedly touching novel has a laugh of its own behind its low-key, smoothly translated narrative voice . . . The city it evokes isn’t the Paris of tourists but of local people.” —The New York Times “Fabre is a genius of these nuanced, interior moments . . . The story Fabre tells is that of every one of us: looking for meaning in the mundane, moving through our lives, our interactions, as if through the fabric of a dream.” —Los Angeles Times “A short, arresting tale that . . . not only offers keen insights into the mind of its middle-aged protagonist, but also provides the reader with a unique tour of what everyday life in the low-key suburbs of Paris must truly be like.” —Typographical Era

House of Glass is a gripping thriller that was packed with surprises and compelling characters.” -- Freida McFadden The next thrilling novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah Pekkanen, House of Glass. On the outside they were the golden family with the perfect life. On the inside they built the perfect lie. A young nanny who plunged to her death, or was she pushed? A nine-year-old girl who collects sharp objects and refuses to speak. A lawyer whose job it is to uncover who in the family is a victim and who is a murderer. But how can you find out the truth when everyone here is lying? Rose Barclay is a nine-year-old girl who witnessed the possible murder of her nanny - in the midst of her parent's bitter divorce - and immediately stopped speaking. Stella Hudson is a best interest attorney, appointed to serve as counsel for children in custody cases. She never accepts clients under thirteen due to her own traumatic childhood, but Stella's mentor, a revered judge, believes Stella is the only one who can help. From the moment Stella passes through the iron security gate and steps into the gilded, historic DC home of the Barclays, she realizes the case is even more twisted, and the Barclay family far more troubled, than she feared. And there's something eerie about the house itself: It's a plastic house, with not a single bit of glass to be found. As Stella comes closer to uncovering the secrets the Barclays are desperate to hide, danger wraps around her like a shroud, and her past and present are set on a collision course in ways she never expected. Everyone is a suspect in the nanny's murder. The mother, the father, the grandmother, the nanny's boyfriend. Even Rose. Is the person Stella's supposed to protect the one she may need protection from?
