Vanished (Hardcover)

$25.99

Nick Heller is tough, smart, and stubborn. And in his line of work, it's essential. Trained in the Special Forces, Nick is a high-powered intelligence investigator--exposing secrets that powerful people would rather keep hidden. He's a guy you don't want to mess with. He's also the man you call when you need a problem fixed. Desperate, with nowhere else to run, Nick's nephew, Gabe makes that call one night. After being attacked in Georgetown, his mother, Lauren, lies in a coma, and his step-dad, Roger, Nick's brother, has vanished without a trace. Nick and Roger have been on the outs since the arrest, trial, and conviction of their father, the notorious "fugitive financier," Victor Heller. Where Nick strayed from the path, Roger followed their father's footsteps into the corporate world. Now, as Nick searches for his brother, he's on a collision course with one of the most powerful corporations in the world--and they will stop at nothing to protect their secrets.

The Legend of Colton H. Bryant (Paperback)

By Alexandra Fuller
$15.00

I have just added The Legend of Colton H. Bryant by Alexandra Fuller to my Top Picks of 2009. The book, a biography set in Wyoming, is a must read mainly because I found Fuller's words to be thought stopping. Her very first sentence did just that. Stopped my thoughts: "This is the story of Colton H. Bryant and the land that grew him." The land that grew him. Hmmm. Not the land where he grew up, not the land he had come to know, not the land that he called home, not the land where he was born, but the land that grew him. In that one sentence she sets the pace and parameters of the story she will tell. We understand there is a partnership that will unfold between this land and that boy. We know that the author is comfortable with the vernacular. We know she will spin this tale as an old timer would, sparsely put, straight forward, and will be accepting of the idiosyncrasies of both land and boy. We suspect that we are in the hands of an expert. And as it turns out, we are.
