Near a deserted island off the western coast of Iceland in 1960, the dawning of spring brings new life for the local wildlife. But for the body discovered by three seal hunters, winter is a matter of permanence. After it is found to be a missing Danish cryptographer, the ensuing investigation uncovers a mysterious link between the researcher and a medieval manuscript known as The Book of Flatey.
Before long another body is found on the tiny island. This time, in the ancient Viking tradition, the victim's back has been mutilated with the so-called blood eagle. Kjartan, the district magistrate's representative sent to investigate the crime, soon finds himself descending into a dark, dangerous world of ancient legends, symbolism, and secret societies to find a killer.
Nominated for the prestigious Glass Key award for Nordic crime fiction, The Flatey Enigma will keep you guessing until Kjartan has cracked the code.

Annie Wells travels to dusty Wyoming in search of bounty hunter Chase Beaudine, the man who saved her life- and whom she hasn't seen since the night they were married five years ago
The first in Suzanne Forster's Stealth Commandos trilogy, Child Bride recounts bounty hunter Chase Beaudine's reunion with Annie Wells, a red-haired and cream-complexioned beauty from his past. When the two cross paths on the dusty steppes of Wyoming, "I'm your wife," is not what Chase expects her to say by way of greeting.
Though Chase has no recollection of Annie and their alleged marriage, her story contains undeniable truths. When she collapses from heatstroke, he has no choice but to bring her back to his cabin. As Annie lies unconscious, Chase can't deny his swiftly mounting desire, watching her pillowy breasts undulate in rhythm with her shortened breaths. Despite her innocence and inexperience, Annie is determined to jog his memory no matter what it takes.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Suzanne Forster including rare photos from the author's personal collection.

Kindle Daily Deal: A Genius for Deception: How Cunning Helped the British Win Two World Wars - March 15th, 2012
Kindle Daily Deal for March 15th, 2012
Title: A Genius for Deception: How Cunning Helped the British Win Two World Wars By Nicholas Rankin
About: This lively and comprehensive history reveals how Britain bluffed, tricked, and spied its way to victory in two world wars. From the creation of dummy airfields to stashing tanks in tents, the British persevered by relying on four strategic pillars of deception: camouflage, propaganda, secret intelligence, and special-forces action.

In February 1942, intelligence officer Victor Jones erected 150 tents behind British lines in North Africa. "Hiding tanks in Bedouin tents was an old British trick," writes Nicholas Rankin; German general Erwin Rommel not only knew of the ploy, but had copied it himself. Jones knew that Rommel knew. In fact, he counted on it--for these tents were empty. With the deception that he was carrying out a deception, Jones made a weak point look like a trap.
In A Genius for Deception, Rankin offers a lively and comprehensive history of how Britain bluffed, tricked, and spied its way to victory in two world wars. As he shows, a coherent program of strategic deception emerged in World War I, resting on the pillars of camouflage, propaganda, secret intelligence, and special forces. All forms of deception found an avid sponsor in Winston Churchill, who carried his enthusiasm for deceiving the enemy into World War II. Rankin vividly recounts such little-known episodes as the invention of camouflage by two French artist-soldiers, the creation of dummy airfields for the Germans to bomb during the Blitz, and the fabrication of an army that would supposedly invade Greece. Strategic deception would be key to a number of WWII battles, culminating in the massive misdirection that proved critical to the success of the D-Day invasion in 1944.
Deeply researched and written with an eye for telling detail, A Genius for Deception shows how British used craft and cunning to help win the most devastating wars in human history.

Kindle Daily Deal for March 16th, 2012
Title: Amazing Gracie: A Dog's Tale By Dan Dye, Mark Beckloff
About: In a dead-end job and mourning his dog's death, Dan Dye adopts Gracie, a deaf and partially blind Great Dane puppy. He learns to cook to help Gracie thrive, and this act of love inspires Dye and his friend Mark Beckloff to start Three Dog Bakery, the successful international pet-food chain.

It's a love story. A story of salvation. And a rags-to-riches story about a dog-yes, a dog-who launched Three Dog Bakery, the burgeoning international retail chain with 31 stores and counting. There is Dan, trapped in a dead-end job and grieving the loss of his pet of eighteen years. And there is Gracie, a deaf and partially blind albino Great Dane with a delicate constitution and penchant for small miracles. In the middle of a bitter Kansas City winter, Dan would save the loneliest pup in the litter, Gracie. And over the next ten years, Gracie would save Dan-helping him learn the meaning of happiness. A moving, funny, inspirational tale, AMAZING GRACIE is a dog-lover's treat. There is the moment of meeting-Gracie getting to her feet like a clumsy foal and nuzzling Dan's nose. The first day in a new house-Dan's roommate and business partner Mark calling the police thinking a burglar was trapped in the back room. Gracie's romance with her next-door neighbor, a Boston Terrier named Byron. And the eureka moment-born of necessity (Gracie's anorexia-producing dislike for commercial dog food), Dan teaches himself how to cook, and within three days is baking her the cookies that will transform their lives. Though several more years would pass before The Wall Street Journal discovered Three Dog Bakery, Oprah ate one of their dog cookies on national television, and Gracie and the gang appeared on Conan O'Brien, the germ of their success was right there-in this heartfelt relationship of a man and a dog.

Kindle Daily Deal: The Irish Americans - March 17th, 2012
Kindle Daily Deal for March 17th, 2012
Title: The Irish Americans By Jay P. Dolan
About: Intense scenes of ships fleeing Ireland's potato blight, the vibrant lives of big-city Catholic parishes, and the raucous world of machine politics punctuate this narrative of Irish American life by Jay P. Dolan, a leading immigration scholar. Dolan's colorful history stands as the most comprehensive work of its kind.

Adult/High School–Drawing on his own extensive research as well as recent work by numerous colleagues, Dolan offers an important contribution to American ethnic history. Tackling a large and complex story, he manages to retain readability amid solid scholarship. He clearly establishes the significance of the Church in the history of Irish Americans. In addition to its role, the author explores two other central themes: the enormous influence extreme poverty had on the lives of these people, and the gradual, often rocky, road to full assimilation and social acceptance. Dolan begins his story in Ireland, detailing how conditions went beyond harsh to intolerable. Driven out of their homeland by starvation; an antiquated system of land ownership; and cruel, misguided British politics, thousands of Irish immigrated to the United States in the latter half of the 19th century. For most, their lot improved, but only slightly. The next generation, however, fared better, and, by the mid-20th century, was not so much poor Irish as middle-class American. By the end of the century, it even became chic to be Irish. Many teens will find this book accessible and at times engrossing, and it will be valuable to those engaged in ethnic studies. –Robert Saunderson, Berkeley Public Library, CA

“Among the many books on leadership, The Change Maker occupies a uniquely powerful position. It is both a moving personal memoir written with grace, eloquence, and remarkable honesty, and a brilliant study of leadership in both the public and private sectors. This superb work deserves widespread attention.” —Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of No Ordinary Time and Team of Rivals
“The Change Maker is must reading for anyone interested in the issues of leadership, or the development of one leader’s life. Written in a lovely, lucid style, The Change Maker is an engaging memoir and a thoughtful reflection on American political and economic leadership, what has gone wrong, and how to make it right.” —Scott Turow, author of Presumed Innocent
“Al Checchi epitomizes the Jeffersonian ideal of the citizen leader, blending common sense, real world experience, and idealism so desperately needed and so glaringly absent in American politics today. In this inspiring and winning memoir he offers penetrating insight and profound ideas to a nation confronting a historical reckoning. America would be well served to heed this message of warning and hope.” —Pat Caddell, pollster and political commentator
“The Change Maker is a richly detailed and compelling narrative of one man’s experiences and observations of the recent developments in America’s business and political landscape. Al Checchi challenges us to think about where our country is headed and what kind of America we will leave for our children.” —Al Michaels, sports broadcaster

"Riflewoman Perini refreshes romantic suspense with an unusual protagonist: Jasmine “Jazz” Parker, lead sniper for the Jefferson County, Colo., sheriff’s SWAT team. Jazz lives by her mother’s dying advice never to let anyone into her own heart, so this Amazonian beauty holds back from the easy camaraderie of her team, just as two years earlier she halted a steamy romance with former army ranger and journalist Luke Montgomery. Jazz’s tightly held secrets make her the target of jealous rivals in the sheriff’s office, and a psychotic stalker from her excruciating childhood also makes an appearance. As she struggles to overcome these difficulties, she also battles her raging lust for super-sexy Luke. Perini convincingly ratchets up the pace of Jazz’s tribulations with high-tech armament and high-heat passion before the independent, no-nonsense heroine predictably signs on to be Luke’s partner, friend, lover, and wife." --Publishers Weekly

Title: Rena's Promise By Rena Kornreich Gelissen, Heather Dune Macadam
About: When the first transport of women arrived at Auschwitz on March 26, 1942, Rena Kornreich Gelissen was among them, and her sister, Danka, soon followed.

Gelissen, who was on the first Jewish transport to Auschwitz, describes in this account the constant struggle for survival in the camp. She soon learns there were no guarantees. Rena's motivation came strongly from a promise to her parents to keep her younger sister, Danka, safe. Her account describes the relentless specter of death while at the same time showing how prisoners would risk their lives to smuggle medicine, clothes, and food to other prisoners. Because Rena was an early prisoner in Auschwitz, she describes some of the confusion at the beginning and the realization of what was really happening to the Jewish people. Helpful features of the book include historical notes and a section describing the fate of the people the sisters knew. This memoir captures the horror of Auschwitz in a clear way that helps the reader understand the atrocities perpetrated there. Recommended for Holocaust collections.
