Less than 48 hours. That’s how long Florence W. Aldridge has to live.

Every event in a person’s life is connected. The state of our lives, at any given time, is the sum of everything we have done and everywhere we have been. Our next decision determines, not merely where our lives end, but who we become along the way. How far can one lost woman go to redeem herself by the time the clock stops ticking?

Four teenaged girls become friends and allies, providing believable alibis for each other that get them out of the house; away from distracted and indifferent parents; parents struggling to live their lives in an unnatural way; lives that include children, which was never what they wanted. They had caved; under pressure from families under the spell of a changing culture still geared to traditional protocol; i.e., doing what’s right. For them, personal preference or comfort never really got into the equation.

The girls are who they are: one is of mixed blood, one favors high drama; another is very amply endowed; yet another is the acute fashionista.

Meet Wayne Chessington, a thirty-year-old man who just wants to get on in life. After moving to Glasgow and being discouraged by the lack of jobs available, he finally lands a job that could be the making of him.

Once Wayne begins his job as a prison officer at the only private jail in Scotland, he realises during the training process that it’s not the correct career path for him. And starting on the infamous H Wing, which consists of protected prisoners and days of witnessing constant violence, begins to discourage him.

His lack of appetite for the job increases as his relationship with the Gang of Three on the wing becomes hostile, and the arrival of psychopath Alan ‘Cutter’ Drake only adds to his consternation.

As a cop with the city’s famed 87th Precinct, Steve Carella has seen it all. Or so he thinks. Because nothing can prepare him for the sight that greets him on a sweltering July night: fellow detective Mike Reardon’s dead body splayed across the sidewalk, his face blown away by a .45.

Days later, Reardon’s partner is found dead, a .45-caliber bullet buried deep in his chest. Only a fool would call it a coincidence, and Carella’s no fool. He chalks the whole ugly mess up to a grudge killing…until a third murder shoots that theory to hell. Armed with only a single clue, Carella delves deep into the city’s underbelly, launching a grim search for answers that will lead him from a notorious brothel to the lair of a beautiful, dangerous widow. He won’t stop until he finds the truth—or until the next bullet finds him.

A moving and revealing exploration of Hasidic life, and one man’s struggles with faith, family, and community

Shulem Deen was raised to believe that questions are dangerous. As a member of the Skverers, one of the most insular Hasidic sects in the US, he knows little about the outside world–only that it is to be shunned. His marriage at eighteen is arranged and several children soon follow. Deen’s first transgression–turning on the radio–is small, but his curiosity leads him to the library, and later the Internet. Soon he begins a feverish inquiry into the tenets of his religious beliefs, until, several years later, his faith unravels entirely.

Now a heretic, he fears being discovered and ostracized from the only world he knows. His relationship with his family at stake, he is forced into a life of deception, and begins a long struggle to hold on to those he loves most: his five children.
