Bob Foster is the pilot of a 10-man B-17 crew--until suddenly he isn't anymore In a public relations maneuver, Lt. Harmon Roberts III, son of a US Senator, takes over Foster's crew and Foster becomes his reluctant copilot. Roberts is just what the public affairs office needs: a handsome, articulate and well-connected pilot they can publicize to counter the heavy losses being suffered by the 8th Air Force. Now Foster's job is to help make a hero out of the man who's just stolen his command Before Roberts and Foster depart for their first mission together over enemy territory, the group adjutant issues one final order: "As big a PR weapon as Roberts can be for us, he can also be for the Germans. Make sure he doesn't fall into their hands." The flak and fighter-filled skies over Nazi-occupied Europe form the backdrop as two men battle for the respect of their crew and for survival against their common enemy "...incisive...nerve-wracking... the research fueled by Durham's passion shines through in the terrifying battle scenes that he brings alive for readers... An admirable addition to World War II fiction that highlights the contributions of heavy-bombing crews." Kirkus Reviews

ARE THE RUSSIANS INFLUENCING THE ELECTION? It's January 1936, and Hollywood star Ginger Rogers arrives in Washington for the annual President's Birthday Ball, a fundraiser for the polio patients at Warm Springs, Georgia. When the security detail goes missing after the ball, Ginger joins the President's secretary, Missy LeHand, to deposit more than $20,000 raised at the ball, but they are hijacked on the way to the bank. Who took the money? Was it a common criminal, or is someone trying to embarrass FDR as he faces re-election? Or could it be something more insidious? Missy, FBI Agent Corey Wainwright, and that bad-girl reporter Joan Roswell join forces to crack this complex case. Kelly Durham, author of eight thrillers set against the backdrops of World War II and the Golden Age of Hollywood, and Kathryn Smith, author of Missy LeHand's biography THE GATEKEEPER, team up again in the second Missy LeHand Mystery.

CAN THE FIRST LADY SAVE AN INNOCENT WOMAN'S LIFE?Eleanor Roosevelt was a tremendous advocate for victims of misjustice, but she may have met her match in Jim Crow Georgia. A black woman sits on death row awaiting her date with the electric chair for a crime she didn't commit. Even with the help of the President's secretary, Marguerite LeHand, and FBI agent Corey Wainwright, the First Lady battles racial prejudice and the ticking of the executioner's clock. Devious Hollywood reporter Joan Roswell and glamorous starlet Ida Lupino round out the cast in this fast-paced story, set in Warm Springs, Georgia, home of FDR's beloved Little White House.Kelly Durham, author of eight thrillers set against the backdrops of World War II and the Golden Age of Hollywood, and Kathryn Smith, author of Missy LeHand's biography THE GATEKEEPER, deliver again in the third Missy LeHand Mystery."The series-defining Hollywood-Washington connection is now established. Add in Missy's assistant Grace Tully and handsome FBI agent Corey Wainwright and the whole gang is back together, taking readers on another vivid and engaging visit to the 1930s, this time focusing on the Jim Crow South. Gone with the Wind author Margaret Mitchell provides the episode's celebrity cameo appearance...Despite the seriousness in theme, the breezy prose is filled with humorous interludes, and the portrait of an indefatigable and earnest Mrs. Roosevelt is delightful. An enjoyable ensemble cast skillfully beefs up an uncomplicated crime plot; a quick, fun read with unsavory secondary characters and salient historical tidbits." -- Kirkus Reviews

This novel, which was very popular when published in 1891, tells the story of the conversion experiences of a group of young, middle-class Baptist women and their subsequent - or consequent - marriages. In it, racial issues are only indirectly addressed, gentility is a concern ranking second only to salvation, and humility and obedience are prerequisites to a woman's acceptance by the Christian community. In essence, this is a novel of socialization rather than of social protest.
