Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Göring Gamble A Mattie McGary + Winston Churchill 1930s Adventure In late 1934, the adventure-seeking Hearst photojournalist Mattie McGary closes in on exposing an international scandal that promises to be one of the biggest stories in her career. Through her godfather Winston Churchill and Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, head of the largest Reform Jewish congregation in the United States, Mattie receives copies of documents showing that in early 1933, Nazi Air Minister Hermann Göring, began to create an illegal thousand-bomber air force forbidden to Germany under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Shockingly, since Germany will not have the capacity to mass-produce advanced high-speed aircraft engines until mid-1935, Göring secretly purchases these advanced engines from American, British and French companies with the private approval of their respective governments. Meanwhile, agents from US Military Intelligence, Scotland Yard’s Special Branch and the French Deuxieme Bureau are prepared to use any means necessary to protect the secret of American, British and French companies selling aircraft engines to the Nazis Now all Mattie has to do is stay alive while she tracks down the sources inside these companies and verifies their documents. From the Wild Atlantic Way in Northwest Ireland to Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Buffalo, Greenwich, New York City, London and Salzburg, Mattie races to interview her sources before they can be killed. Along the way she acquires some unlikely allies including the Jewish gangsters Moe Dalitz in Cleveland and Meyer Lansky in New York as well as Frank Nitti in Chicago. With additional historical supporting characters German Chancellor Adolf Hitler, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, New York attorney and Medal of Honor hero William ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan, American media mogul William Randolph Hearst and Nazi SS Foreign Intelligence head Walter Schellenberg, The Göring Gamble is an authentic, action-packed historical adventure based on actual events.

Book excerpt: The Restoration was a decade of experimentation: from the founding of the Royal Society for investigating the sciences to the startling role of credit and risk; from the shocking licentiousness of the court to failed attempts at religious tolerance. Negotiating all these, Charles II, the "slippery sovereign," laid odds and took chances, dissembling and manipulating his followers. The theaters may have been restored, but the king himself was the supreme actor. Yet while his grandeur, his court, and his colorful sex life were on display, his true intentions lay hidden. Charles II was thirty when he crossed the English Channel in fine May weather in 1660. His Restoration was greeted with maypoles and bonfires, as spring after the long years of Cromwell's rule. But there was no way to turn back, no way he could "restore" the old dispensation. Certainty had vanished. The divinity of kingship had ended with his father's beheading. "Honor" was now a word tossed around in duels. "Providence" could no longer be trusted. As the country was rocked by plague, fire, and war, people searched for new ideas by which to live. And exactly ten years after he arrived, Charles would again stand on the shore at Dover, this time placing the greatest bet of his life in a secret deal with his cousin, Louis XIV of France. Jenny Uglow's previous biographies have won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and International PEN's Hessell-Tiltman Prize for History. A Gambling Man is Uglow at her best: both a vivid portrait of Charles II that explores his elusive nature and a spirited evocation of a vibrant, violent, pulsing world on the brink of modernity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the New York Times–bestselling series continues, a double murder in front of an exclusive club takes a London detective on a wild ride. Robbie Parsons is one of London’s finest, a black cab driver who knows every street, every theater, every landmark in the city by heart. In his backseat is a man with a gun in his hand—a man who brazenly committed a crime in front of the Artemis Club, a rarefied art gallery-cum-casino, then jumped in and ordered Parsons to drive. As the criminal eventually escapes to Nairobi, Detective Superintendent Richard Jury comes across the case in the Saturday paper. Two days previously, Jury had met and instantly connected with one of the victims of the crime, a professor of astrophysics at Columbia and an expert gambler. Feeling personally affronted, Jury soon enlists Melrose Plant, Marshall Trueblood, and his whole gang of merry characters to contend with a case that takes unexpected turns into Tanzanian gem mines, a closed casino in Reno, Nevada, and a pub that only London’s black cabbies, those who have “the knowledge,” can find. The Knowledge is prime fare from “one of the most fascinating mystery writers today” (Houston Chronicle). “Grimes’ twenty-fourth mystery starring Richard Jury gets off to a breakneck start. . . . Besides the fast action, it’s fascinating to see how Robbie uses a London’s cabdriver’s deep familiarity with the streets to keep himself alive. . . . Jury’s devoted readership will find much to enjoy.” —Booklist “Solid. . . . Readers will appreciate the elements that have made this a long-running bestselling series, notably a complicated case and distinctive characters.” —Publishers Weekly “Martha Grimes’ Richard Jury returns in a new mystery that is every bit as clever and suspenseful as her others. The plot is intriguing and unusual, featuring the usual cast of characters Grimes fans have come to know and love, as well as a set of streetwise, worldly children that could have come straight out of a Dickens novel.” —Patricia Uttaro, Rochester Public Library

Book excerpt: Emotionally terse and sharply observed, this novel is a journey through the post-Vietnam west coast, where the travelling is still easy and being on the road is still good--but now it's not a matter of listening to bop on the radio and smoking joyful joints à la Kerouac. It's moving drugs by Greyhound bus across the border for the mob. It's staving off panic attacks at the first sign of intimacy. It's sex without emotion, hallucinatory hospitals, broken-down vets, and the murder of your own mother as a merciful release into the little of untouched nature that is left.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Goring was in many ways the archetypal cavalier, often portrayed as possessing all the worst characteristics associated with the followers of King Charles I. He drank copiously, dressed and entertained lavishly, gambled excessively, abandoned his wife frequently, and was quick to resort to swordplay when he felt his honour was at stake. Yet, he was also an active Member of Parliament and a respected soldier, who learnt his trade on the Continent during the Dutch Wars, and put his expertise to good use in support of the royalist cause during the English Civil War. In this, the first modern biography of Goring, the main events of his life are interwoven with the wider history of his age. Beginning with his family background in Sussex, it charts his successes at court and exploits in the service of the Dutch, culminating in his experiences at the siege of Breda in 1637, and his role in the Bishops' Wars. However, it is his key role as a royalist general during the Civil War that is the major focus of this book, which concludes with Goring's years of exile during the Republic. This fascinating and illuminating account of Goring's life, character and actions, provides not only a fresh examination of this contentious figure, but also reveals much about English society and culture in the first half of the seventeenth century.
