THE CLOCK IS TICKING... Detective Constable Angus MacVicar has just landed his dream job - transferred out of uniform and assigned to Oldcastle's biggest ongoing murder investigation: Operation Telegram, hunting the 'Fortnight Killer'. Every two weeks another couple is targeted. One victim is left at the scene, their corpse used as a twisted message board. The second body is never seen again. This should be the perfect chance for Angus to prove himself, but instead of working on the investigation's front line, he's lumbered with the forensic psychologist from hell. A sarcastic know-it-all American, on loan from the FBI, who seems determined to alienate everyone while dragging Angus into a shadowy world of conspiracies, lies, and violence. It's been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the investigation's running out of time. Angus's shiny new job might just be the death of him...
Sidelines: A North Carolina Story of Community, Race, and High School Football (10th Anniversary Edition)
Sidelines is an insider's look at the fascinating world of high school football, and, beyond that, it is also about the death and rebirth of the American community. Stuart Albright uses football to explore our nation's complicated history of race and public education and to explain why some communities continue to thrive while others are slowly dying away. Sidelines tells the story of nine very different communities across North Carolina, from deep in the Appalachian Mountains where a team of Cherokee Indians carry the hopes of an entire tribe on its shoulders, to military outposts where the War in Iraq dominates every aspect of daily life. We meet resilient coaches in urban schools on the brink of state take-overs and men who lived through segregation, fire bombings, and shattered dreams. Sidelines profiles ordinary coaches and community leaders who do extraordinary things.

Stuart Bousel's Pastorella is an acerbic, witty love/hate letter to small theater and the artists-idealists to egotists (often the same person)-who keep them alive. Gwen is a recent college graduate who has been cast as Chloe in a small theater production of Tom Stoppard's Arcadia. Hanging around backstage, she befriends Warren, who is playing Valentine, and is involved in a stormy romance with Josh, the company's leading man, who announces a few days before opening that he has a "better" opportunity with a touring production of a new musical based on the animated film Fern Gully: The Last Rain Forest. Amidst the antics of fellow cast-mates Cliff, Toby, Bettina, Electra, and Roy, Warren and Josh's relationship implodes, Gwen gets her dream role, and the show, as always, goes on.

Nate Rubin was born with the soul of a consummate comedian. His jokester personality could easily ensnare any audience and capture hearts through laughter. But Nate's responsibility to wife and children and lack of enthusiasm for the grind of ordinary life kept him in a cycle of failure in business. His son, who revels in his father's mastery of wit and storytelling, seeks to come to terms with the two sides of the man he both idolizes and sees as a disappointment. This story of their father-son relationship reveals deeper truths about becoming a man.
With a Little Help from Their Friends: The Beatles and the People Who Made Them
A surprising, charming, and kaleidoscopic history of the Beatles, told through 100 people close to them The story of the Beatles is more than just their omnipresent songs and their iconic albums. It's more than the hair, the clothes, the generational defining spirit. It's even more than Paul and John and George and Ringo. The Beatles wouldn't be the Beatles without a little help from their friends. These four legends didn't change the world in isolation; their story has an incredible supporting cast of family, friends, managers, producers, publicists, ex-bandmates, fellow musicians, and more. These somebodies shaped the Fab Four through ambition, power, friendship, heartbreak, tragedy, intrigue, humor, lust, and of course, love. Stuart Maconie's With a Little Help From Their Friends is the epic story of the iconic band through the people who made them, from childhood days in Liverpool through the crucible of Hamburg and on to international superstardom. It's a charming mosaic of a book, a fresh look written with deep knowledge and passion.
