Those who like their crime novels with a social conscience will be amply rewarded.” —Publishers Weekly, STARRED review Former homicide cop turned private investigator Cass Raines gets the job done in this page-turning Chicago-set novel from award-winning author Tracy Clark. For mystery/suspense fans as well as fans of Laura Lippman. Chicago in the dead of winter can be brutal, especially when you’re scouring the frigid streets for a missing girl. Fifteen-year-old Ramona Titus has run away from her foster home. Her biological mother, Leesa Evans, is a recovering addict who admits she failed Ramona often in the past. But now she’s clean. And she’s determined to make up for her mistakes—if Cass can only help her find her daughter. Cass visits Ramona’s foster mother, Deloris Poole, who is also desperate to bring the girl home. Ramona came to Deloris six months ago, angry and distrustful, but was slowly opening up. The police are on the search, but Cass has sources closer to the streets, and a network of savvy allies. Yet it seems Ramona doesn’t want to be found. And Cass soon begins to understand why. Ramona is holding secrets dark enough to kill for, and anyone who helps her may be fair game. And if Ramona can’t run fast enough and hide well enough to keep the truth safe, she and Cass may both be out of time.

Book excerpt: From an exciting new voice in historical fiction, an assured debut that should appeal to readers of Away by Amy Bloom or Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier. The Little Russian tells the story of Berta Alshonsky, who revels in childhood memories of her time spent with a wealthy family in Moscow—a life filled with salons, balls and all the trappings of the upper class—very different from her current life as a grocer's daughter in the Jewish townlet of Mosny. So when a mysterious and cultured wheat merchant walks into the grocery, Berta's life is forever altered. She falls in love, unaware that he is a member of the Bund, The Jewish Worker's League, smuggling arms to the shtetls to defend them against the pogroms sweeping the Little Russian countryside. Married and established in the wheat center of Cherkast, Berta has recaptured the life she once had in Moscow. So when a smuggling operation goes awry and her husband must flee the country, Berta makes the vain and foolish choice to stay behind with her children and her finery. As Russia plunges into war, Berta eventually loses everything and must find a new way to sustain the lives and safety of her children. Filled with heart–stopping action, richly drawn characters, and a world seeped in war and violence; The Little Russian is poised to capture readers as one of the hand–selling gems of the season.
Download or read book A Desperate Place written by Jennifer Greer and published by Crooked Lane Books. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perfect for fans of Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli & Isles and Kathy Reichs, comes an explosive debut thriller about a team of two strong women and a crime that will shake you to your core. Three separate homicides. Three unrelated victims. One grisly secret. When the body of famous actress Niki Francis is unearthed from its shallow grave, the small town of Medford, Oregon is alarmed, but not shook. After all, there should be plenty of motives and suspects--Niki had fame, wealth, looks. The kill was targeted, premeditated, and it's about her celebrity. Or so they thought. Whit McKenna is licking her wounds, working as a reporter for the local Medford rag. Fresh from a harrowing assignment for her previous post at the L. A. Times which cost her her husband, Whit must pull herself together for the sake of her two daughters. The wound has hardly begun to scab when she's called to cover the murder, so she teams up with her best friend, medical examiner Katie Riggs. Then two more victims turn up, completely disconnected from one another, and McKenna loses all hope of a breakthrough. Rather than clarity, the possible suspects and motives become scrambled. But time is running out, and each front page article McKenna writes brings her closer to a killer who will stop at nothing to realize a deadly vision.
Download or read book My Uncle Sam written by Len Jenkin and published by Dramatists Play Service Inc. This book was released on 1984 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncle Sam was a novelties salesman who died one night, alone and broke, in a Pittsburgh hotel. But he was also a larger-than-life figure, a mythic hero, to his nephew who now seeks to discover his uncle's true story. His quest is a quixotic and picaresque one, involving a seductive nightclub singer who promises to marry Sam if he can locate his ne'er-do-well brother (who absconded with the proceeds from a robbery), and developing into a series of sometimes funny, sometimes hair-raising episodes as the nephew "becomes" his uncle in his youth and journeys to a remote lighthouse, a rather sinister university laboratory, an opium den, the clinic of a Mexican quack, and a very odd miniature golf course all intriguingly distorted, as though viewed through a funhouse mirror. In the end it is really the landscape of the mind that is explored and illuminated, as the trail leads back to Old Sam and the disquieting knowledge that dreams and reality are, in the final essence, often one and the same, with the "truth" still remaining tantalizingly out of reach.

Book excerpt: Marie Collins possesses information critical to the well-being of the human race. Evil forces strike without pity. Justin learns of his mother's murder while both he and Rachel are ushered away by Eleanor, a spy from Subterrania. Eleanor explains why men who value power and money over human lives and health have murdered Justin's mother. Eleanor is mortally wounded in a shootout with Irish policemen. She renders the policemen unconscious with an Ivorian weapon before dying, and then turns the weapon upon Rachel. She embeds a sophisticated tracking device within Rachel's only dental filling, and implants a communication device within Rachel's left ear canal. Rachel is confined in Brockman Penitentiary, a prison for terrorists and an asylum for the insane. She serves as bait. Justin passes Moeeta's inquisition and is permitted to train as a Quazarian warrior. Golchuron teaches why Outlanders permit monetary gain to take precedence over relief from illnesses such as diabetes, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Justin listens in awe as he learns that Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were both born on the same day. He is astounded as his teacher explains how each of these men impacted the lives of human beings upon the earth's surface and molded the politics of society. Darian Sharp bursts into Rachel's room without knocking. He asks her to explain the contents of a letter that appeared on the front porches of Rachel's home town. Her eyes widen as she reads an invitation to her bridal party. At last Darian departs. She rises and grasps both hands to her breast, and then she breaks out laughing. There was never a nymph in Narnia or an elf in Rivendell that danced and sang with more mirth and abandon than Rachel Faith McMurray in her solitary prison suite.

Book excerpt: In Ephemera, winged creatures elegize and celebrate the beauty of evanescence simultaneously. The poems speak to the ambivalence of coming of age beset by the daily trials of chronic illness as viewed through the lens of femininity and love in the confessional tradition. Odysseus Difficult to divine how you arrived, not water-doused or mail-slotted to me, but whole in your stone-centered gaze, almost tired out by your ninety days under stars. Satisfied by none, you chose me to be your canary, waiting, green with hope for your return. Coming home from the back-woods, you made me into your mooring, fashioned yourself into a pilgrim to my bed’s unmade shrine. I’ll make a Ulysses out of you yet. Yes, the butterfly kind, blue body mild as the Aegean, crushing. I will weave our dreams together: never go back to sea without me as your mate.
