Finalist for the Readers of Elle Magazine's Grand Prize (France) Winner of the Plaidoiries Prize for Best Crime Novel at the Festival Clameur(s) of Dijon Almodóvar meets Orwell in this acclaimed, fast-paced contemporary noir novel exposing the most shameful secrets of the Franco era. Present-day Spain, a time of economic crisis and resurgent populist nationalism. The radical right has just won the election after twelve years of Socialist rule. In the midst of this political upheaval, a series of murders is committed, taking place from Madrid to Barcelona to Valencia. The victims include a politician a real-estate lawyer, doctor, a banker, and a nun. There is no obvious connection between them. As the country prepares for a return to a certain moral order, radio crime reporter Diego Martin is trying to keep his head above water in anticipation of the expected media purge. When he decides to look into the first murder, he doesn't have the faintest clue that his investigation will lead far beyond his local beat and put his life at risk. For what he uncovers exposes the roots of a national scandal: the theft of babies from the victims of the Franco regime, crimes—never prosecuted—that were orchestrated by now well-connected citizens who will do anything to avoid exposure.

The work deeply examines the most important angels, Jibril (Gabriel), who delivered the message of Al-Qur'an to the Prophet Muhammad, and further examines the other archangels and their relationships to Allah. The role of angels in the earliest Islamic battles is studied, along with the central role of angels in Muslim art and the roles played by the Jinn in relation to humans.

In Mail Call, David W. Newcomer IV takes readers on a journey of discovery through over 60 letters written by his father, Lt. (j.g.) David W. Newcomer during WWII to his wife, Pamela Harrison Kinney. After years of transcribing and research, Newcomer IV navigates us through his father's experiences in the Pacific Theater while he served with a Top Secret Navy Unit, Argus 11. Along with Kansas City's juicy gossip, readers will experience the perils of one landlubber's journey as he adjusts to shipboard life, receives his King Neptune polliwog initiation for crossing the Equator, and navigates intense jungle battles. Entertaining accounts of programs, films, radio, and a visit from Eleanor Roosevelt are outshined by a father's desire to return home. His words expound on dreams for the future for his newborn son and his beloved wife connected through their lifeline of almost daily letters. Each day of war brought a heavy weight, but anticipating news from home lifted a combat soldier's spirits with two life-saving words: "Mail Call " Mail was no easy thing in 1943. Letter writing and delivery were extremely difficult in wartime across vast distances. Paper letters were heavy and easily damaged. A procedure called "V" mail turned handwritten letters into microfilm negatives. They were developed onto specialized paper and delivered. During this process, censored information was literally cut out with actual scissors. David IV fills in the historical blanks behind his father's 1943 letters. Through his research of declassified documents, he shares what truly went on behind the scenes and includes over one hundred images of handwritten letters, maps, documents, and photographs of both the war and the Newcomer family: a fourth-generation business from the founding era of Kansas City. Newcomer IV shares how the little-remembered Argus groups turned the tide for the US in its war against Japan, alongside the story of his all-American family legacy and how his father's life influenced his own journey. He wants to inspire future generations to remember how our words shape relationships and who we become as people, as families, and as a nation.
