House Arrest
Mike Lawson
Atlantic Monthly Press
February, 2019
In the thirteenth book in Mike Lawson’s celebrated series, Joe
DeMarco finds himself on the wrong side of an investigation—in the wake
of a political assassination, he’s been framed as the killer.
As the fixer for Congressman John Mahoney in Washington, D.C., Joe
DeMarco has had to bend and break the law more than a few times. But
when Representative Lyle Canton, House Majority Whip, is found shot dead
in his office in the U.S. Capitol and DeMarco is arrested for the
murder, DeMarco knows he’s been framed. Locked up in the Alexandria Jail
awaiting trial, he calls on his enigmatic friend Emma, an ex-DIA agent,
to search for the true killer.
Emma’s investigation leads her to Sebastian Spear, the ruthless and
competitive CEO of the multi-billion-dollar Spear Industries. Spear had a
motive for killing Lyle Canton: Canton’s wife, Jean, had once been
Spear’s high school sweetheart and the one true love of his life—until
Canton won her over. Now Jean was dead, killed in a car crash while
driving drunk, and Spear blamed Canton for the accident. But the case
the F.B.I. has built against DeMarco is airtight, and not a single piece
of evidence points to the grieving CEO. Using her cunning and her D.C.
connections, Emma sets out to prove that Spear has been using some
fixers of his own.
Featuring crimes of passion, corporate corruption, and partisan feuds, House Arrest is a gripping, timely political thriller, and one of Lawson’s best books yet.
The Storm Over Paris
William Ian Grubman
Dupapier Press
November, 2018
It’s 1942 in Nazi-occupied Paris. Mori Rothstein, an art dealer and
expert in master paintings from Rococo to Realism, has been sought after
by every major museum in the world. Also seeking his expertise is
Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering.
As his friends and fellow Jews
disappear one by one, Mori struggles to protect himself and his family
by cooperating with the Germans to catalogue stolen paintings for the
Fuhrer’s museum. Mori is neither a prisoner nor a free man as he forges a
questionable relationship with one of the most notorious Nazis in
Europe—his fidelity and morals tested daily. His once-charmed life
transforms into a web of intrigue, kidnapping, and murder, against the
backdrop of the world’s most treasured art.
How does he get
himself and his family out the other side of the war, while also
attempting to rescue some of the greatest paintings of all time?
Drops of Cerulean
Dawn Adams Cole
Greenleaf Book Group Press
January, 2019
A story of love, loss, and reincarnation.
Spanning the years 1930–2014, Drops of Cerulean
chronicles the lives of Ilona, the daughter of a Greek restaurateur,
who marries into a prominent Houston family; her son, Cadmus, who
becomes a professor and then moves into a retirement home after his
husband passes away; and Delphina, an anxiety-ridden woman with a
mysterious recurring dream.
Ilona and Cadmus have a falling out
when Cadmus is a young man, and before they are able to reconcile,
Ilona dies. Cadmus is plagued with guilt and feels responsible for the
death of his mother. Two worlds collide when, years later, Delphina
comes to understand that she had been Ilona, Cadmus's mother, in her
previous life. Well written and engaging, Drops of Cerulean deals with topics such as socioeconomic class, LGBT rights and acceptance, rebirth, and past-life regression.
Set in Houston and revolving around the city's ever-changing skyline, Drops of Cerulean is an amazing debut from a gifted writer.
