Book excerpt: When the body of an unscrupulous land developer washes in with the tide, there are more suspects than mourners in the quirky town of Devil's Harbor, Oregon. Vince Grabowski was infamous for creating an environmental disaster, hatching shady investment schemes and trying to commercialize the tiny coastal community. A list of who-could-have-done-it includes Grabowski's less-than grieving widow, her eco-freak boyfriend, a marijuana-farming ice cream shop owner, a radio evangelist about to lose her listeners, the mayor's sex-crazed wife and a disgruntled artist who grudgingly perpetuates a hoax on gullible tourists. For Molly Donovan, the murder creates an opportunity to use the crime reporting skills she shelved when her father's heart attack forced her to return to Oregon. Chafing under the limitations of writing for The North Coast Flotsam, she revels in matching wits with investigators-until the killer frames her father.

Book excerpt: *AMAZON BREAKTHROUGH NOVEL SEMIFINALIST* Shunned by his community... locked up for trying to help an innocent girl... ambushed by rivals and left for dead in the Detroit River: Joe Bernstein has a few scores to settle, and a bold plan to seize control of the Motor City in its booming 1920s heyday. With his faithful "agent" Abie, his brilliant but fragile brother Max, and an out-of-control enforcer named Grabowski (not to mention a couple of carnivorous creatures known as "the babies"), Bernstein gives rise to the infamous Purple Gang-so named by local merchants because the gang's members were said to be "tainted, like spoiled meat." Bernstein's boys set their sights on taking over the Detroit River, the pipeline connecting dry America to wet Canada. But Joe also must contend with having "a sweetheart in the nut house" and rising tensions within his gang. Worst of all, the D.A.'s office has brought in an amputee war hero named Riley--who seems to be one step ahead of Joe's big plans. A fast-paced thriller that builds to the climactic Collingwood Massacre (a seminal event that changed Detroit forever), THE PURPLES blends richly-detailed historical fiction with nonstop action, all narrated in the wry voice of the smart, self-deluding, and unforgettable Joe Bernstein. "Corruption in 1920s Detroit is brought to life in vivid detail in this accomplished book." -Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: In this remarkable second novel by Burt Zollo, we meet Lyle Kopp, a public relations man in Chicago during the Sixties. P.R., at this time, is still a relatively new, undefined profession, and Kopp is one of the pioneers in shaping the public perception of P.R., which is, after all, all about shaping public perceptions. Kopp's world is one of publicity stunts, politics, romance, family, ambition, and friendships real and forced. It's a story of a profession never before explored so intimately and insightfully in fiction, and the story of a family man, who balances a home life in suburbia with a work life in the city. State & Wacker is also very much the story of Chicago, which happens to be Zollo's hometown. His Kopp is a savvy guy, balancing the art and science of his growing field, while struggling with the awareness of the power of persuading public opinion on behalf of his clients. Even the name "Public relations" is not free from his scrutiny, and this level of consideration gives this novel its depth: "While he thought `public relations' was descriptive," Zollo writes, "he feared it might be considered deceptive, not as humble as he preferred. He didn't resent the variety of names his practice had achieved; he simply didn't want to appear, as he explained, `too grand.'" Public relations, Kopp felt, was "the most maligned, least understood creative practice. At its best, he thought, P.R. changed people's minds; at its worst, P.R. bred suspicion." Walking that line between being influential and manipulative is where this novel lives.

Book excerpt: We all know about the Russian hacking of the 2016 US election—but what if the Russians had something bigger in the works? Russian investigative reporter Nikolai Katkov grew up under the Soviet regime and came of age as a journalist during the Cold War. The rumpled chain smoker no longer drinks, but he’s devoted to truth, justice, and the American way; he considers his collection of comic books his pension. He and his colleague Nina Grafinskaya have always been highly critical of Putin and his corrupt cronies, so it’s no surprise, though still tragic, when Grafinskaya is terminated by a Kremlin assassin after publishing an article revealing the dirty deals of Putin’s inner circle. When her FBI contact is discovered in the trunk of his car with a slit throat, Katkov takes over Grafinskaya’s unfinished story about a Russian mole placed high within the US federal security apparatus. Are the two stories connected? Katkov thinks so and becomes a target himself when he heads to Washington, DC, to follow up. In DC, FBI special agent and Amtrak liaison to the Joint Terrorism Task Force Lana Nichols is implementing a major upgrade to the railroad’s computer security. Nichols, a sexy, young cyberterrorism expert, lands the assignment of babysitting Katkov, who attracts Russian thugs and hit men like a magnet. Katkov begins to understand the Russians’ plot isn’t about protecting the mole, but rather protecting a Code Red op about to go live. The Russians have been playing the long game to destabilize America—and now all the pieces are finally in place. Katkov suspects Lana Nichols—American born but ethnically Russian—is the mole. Her cover blown, she goes off the grid, leaving a path of cold death in her wake. The plot? A railroad bridge, over which freight trains laden with volatile chemicals must travel to continue their journey up the Eastern Seaboard, lies within spitting distance of the Capitol. And with only hours to go before the State of the Union address, the clock is ticking louder than ever. But what’s the plan? How is she going to do it? And can they stop her in time?

Book excerpt: From Green Bay to Canton, a comprehensive and insightful autobiography from a Packers fan favorite "You can if you will." A phrase uttered to a young Jerry Kramer by his line coach at Sandpoint High School in tiny Sandpoint, Idaho, that would go on to push him to a celebrated NFL career with the Green Bay Packers and a sentiment that he would repeat to close his speech at his long awaited enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame almost seven decades later in 2018. In the spirit of Jerry Kramer's unforgettable and bestselling collaborations with the great Dick Schaap, his first book about his life and career in over two decades, Run to Win will serve as Kramer's definitive statement about a remarkable life and career of perseverance, teamwork, and gridiron greatness. Spanning the beginning of the legendary Vince Lombardi era through Kramer's confoundingly long wait to receive his bust in Canton, Kramer tells his amazing story as one of the most memorable and toughest Packers in franchise history. Including insightful commentary about the eminently intriguing Lombardi, as well as fellow Hall of Fame teammates Jim Taylor, Forrest Gregg, Willie Davis, Bart Starr, Emlen Tunnell, and many more, Run to Win is a must read for all true Packers fans from one of the legends who helped lay the foundation for one of the most identifiable and successful franchises in the history of professional sports.

Book excerpt: Baseball player Tony Lazzeri was the first great Italian-American sports superstar. He was known for his excellent glove, strong throwing arm and good speed, as well as his honesty, integrity and support of his teammates. This member of the 1927 Murderers' Row of the New York Yankees batted sixth behind Earl Combs, Mark Koenig, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Bob Meusel. The major league's first power-hitting second baseman, he batted over .300 five times and drove in over 100 runs in seven seasons. He was the Yankees regular second baseman for twelve consecutive seasons and helped them win six pennants and five world championships. Chosen to play in the first All-Star Game in 1933, he made the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991. Researched from primary sources as well as interviews with his peers, this biography covers Lazzeri's life from his birth in San Francisco to Italian immigrants; his harsh, poverty-stricken childhood, and struggles with epilepsy (though he never suffered an attack while playing baseball); through every moment of his impressive career (as well as the time he struck out against Grover Cleveland Alexander in Game Seven of the 1926 World Series); ending with his death at age 42 of a heart attack. Lazzeri's batting record is included as an appendix and the work is illustrated with both private and public photographs.

Book excerpt: In Transforming Big Pharma John Ansell addresses critically how strategy works in the pharmaceutical industry. The long-standing dearth of new products has led to a growing shortfall in revenues. Ansell assesses the wide range of alternative strategies big pharma companies have been pursuing in recent years in attempting to overcome this. He shows that there is sound evidence to expect the recent upturn in the number of new products reaching the market to go on to greater heights. Chapters assess the complex trends in attrition rates, show how rife spectacular sales underestimation in the industry remains, and explain how conventional wisdom on the chances of product profitability also seriously undersells the industry. The surest route to transforming the prospects for big pharma, Ansell contends, is to step up activity in acquiring and developing new products. This is now realistic because, as he shows, the amount of intellectual property available is much greater than it was a decade ago. Ansell believes that no other strategies have sufficient transformative powers, though they may be useful as a stopgap whilst the sales of forthcoming new products mature. He argues for a reversal of big pharma’s recent cutbacks in R&D and licensing, and re-focussing on new product development. Transforming Big Pharma is intended for those in senior and middle management in the pharmaceutical industry. It will also be valuable to students, as well as to all those dealing with the industry, including biotech companies and those providing services and products to the pharmaceutical industry.
