Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Right from the beginning I was suspicious of the man. Right from the minute he got on the bus. Maybe it was because he acted so strangely about the bag. But mostly it was because of the way he looked. And because my ears started tingling at the sight of him—an ancient warning of danger, not to be ignored. Six months after 9/11, everyone wanted life to return to normal. But when Charles Stavros boards the Star Tours bus, twelve-year-old Kevin Saunders is sure this exotic-looking stranger is up to no good: He sits alone. He has a bushy black mustache and sinister eyebrows. He carries a red bag with him wherever he goes—and even talks to it! Kevin confides his suspicions to Geneva, a girl he meets on the tour bus. Together they watch the man's every move. Kevin is convinced Stavros isn't a typical tourist, interested in the Great Salt Lake, the Grand Tetons, or even Yellowstone National Park. Kevin knows Stavros, red bag in hand, has something much bigger in mind, and it's up to Kevin to save the day, and maybe even the world.

But their world is soon turned upside down when a mysterious acquaintance sends them a strange and alluring gift. It's called the red bag. Once the cherished property of a long-dead film director, it has gained a reputation as a mysterious and valuable collector's item. Now in possession of this strange, yet fascinating prize, Phil attempts to track down the man who sent it to him. But his search is quickly halted when he learns that the man is dead, having been murdered just days after sending Phil the package. Not wanting to get involved, Phil chooses to put the red bag aside and return his attention to his home and family. But after surviving a savage act of violence at the hands of a disturbed man who is seeking the red bag for himself, Phil has no choice but to confront the mystery before him. He soon learns that the red bag is more than just a simple heirloom. It has a history all its own, one that will plunge Phil into a world of danger and greed, pitting him against forces that he never could have imagined, against people who value the red bag more than anything else in the world and will stop at nothing to get it.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The knockdown, drag-out, untold story of the other scandal that rocked Nixon’s White House, and reset the rules for crooked presidents to come—with new reporting that expands on Rachel Maddow’s Peabody Award–nominated podcast “Both a thriller and a history book, Bag Man is a triumph of storytelling.”—Preet Bharara, New York Times bestselling author of Doing Justice and host of the podcast Stay Tuned with Preet Is it possible for a sitting vice president to direct a vast criminal enterprise within the halls of the White House? To have one of the most brazen corruption scandals in American history play out while nobody’s paying attention? And for that scandal to be all but forgotten decades later? The year was 1973, and Spiro T. Agnew, the former governor of Maryland, was Richard Nixon’s second-in-command. Long on firebrand rhetoric and short on political experience, Agnew had carried out a bribery and extortion ring in office for years, when—at the height of Watergate—three young federal prosecutors discovered his crimes and launched a mission to take him down before it was too late, before Nixon’s impending downfall elevated Agnew to the presidency. The self-described “counterpuncher” vice president did everything he could to bury their investigation: dismissing it as a “witch hunt,” riling up his partisan base, making the press the enemy, and, with a crumbling circle of loyalists, scheming to obstruct justice in order to survive. In this blockbuster account, Rachel Maddow and Michael Yarvitz detail the investigation that exposed Agnew’s crimes, the attempts at a cover-up—which involved future president George H. W. Bush—and the backroom bargain that forced Agnew’s resignation but also spared him years in federal prison. Based on the award-winning hit podcast, Bag Man expands and deepens the story of Spiro Agnew’s scandal and its lasting influence on our politics, our media, and our understanding of what it takes to confront a criminal in the White House.

Attempting to pass himself off as an FBI agent, he learns too late that his long time friend who lives in the same small town of northwestern Oklahoma is indeed an agent for the FBI — undercover to stop a ring of organized crime. Early in his profession as a hired killer, Damien sets a rule for himself to never leave a job unfinished that he has been paid for. But the one time he breaks that rule, will haunt him to the end. Accepting a job to hit a wealthy diamond broker, who turns out to be the uncle to someone in his home town, proves to be his downfall. When the law comes to his home town to investigate the nephew, Damien is exposed and is forced to start killing his only real friends.

She soon discovers that Freemont is a town plagued with crooked police, violent residents, and hidden dangers. What begins as a simple search for local vandals soon grows into a deeper mystery as Lucy learns the truth about Henry Fontaine. He hadn't died in a motorcycle accident.
