churros: a dizzying array and all delightful, the recipes in this
book recall memories of holidays past and inspire the promise of
happy gatherings to come. These are winning cookies in every sense,
the best of the best chosen by the contest's judges, accompanied by
beautiful photographs as instructive as they are enticing. A treat
for any occasion, whether party, bake sale, or after-school snack,
each time- and taste-tested recipe is perfect for starting a

Gnosis: Greek word meaning knowledge. Murder, mystery and
redemption are at the heart of "Gnosis." Detective Jack Dantzler
has no clue why he has been summoned to the prison to meet with the
Reverend Eli Whitehouse, a man convicted of committing a double
murder twenty-nine years ago. He is stunned when Eli claims to be
innocent and wants Dantzler to prove it. But Eli only gives
Dantzler a single clue-look at the obituaries in the local paper
for a specific two-week period. Reluctantly, Dantzler agrees to
look into the case. As he does, two more people are brutally
murdered. And although Dantzler isn't aware of it, he has become a
target for the killer. Dantzler goes back to Eli and pleads for
another clue. All Eli says is, "think of Jesus's empty tomb." It
will be this whispered utterance that unlocks the mystery and
reveals the killer's identity. But this isn't just any ordinary
killer. This is a man with a dark and bloody past, a man with
connections to the highest levels of organized crime. Dantzler is
now on the trail of an ice-cold assassin, fully aware that one slip
will mean instant death. Sometimes having too much knowledge can
lead to deadly consequences.
Detective Jack Dantzler always believed his father was killed by a
sniper in Vietnam. Dantzler's world is rocked when a stranger shows
up and informs him that his father died in Laos, and was killed by
the CIA. Dantzler asks the stranger how he can uncover the real
truth. The stranger tells Dantzler there is only one man who can
help him-the legendary assassin called Cain. Dantzler contacts
Cain, and Cain agrees to help. But when a U.S. general is
assassinated in Las Vegas, Cain's priorities change. He knows who
killed the general, and he knows the names of the men who ordered
the hit. He also knows they must pay for their sins, and he's the
one who will collect the bill. Cain and Dantzler are on the trail
of dangerous men who will stop at nothing to save their empire, an
empire built on greed, treason and murder. But what Cain doesn't
know is that a Russian assassin has him in her crosshairs. The
hunter has become the hunted. The List is a fast-paced thriller
that takes readers on a deadly journey, and proves once again why
Night Owl Review called Tom Wallace a "powerful and compelling"
writer.
Lexington Detective Jack Dantzler is asked to look into a death
that has been ruled a suicide. When he learns how the person
died-cyanide poisoning-he immediately suspects that the victim was
murdered. Although the death occurred in another county, Dantzler
agrees to look into what is a closed case. However, before he can
begin his investigation, a medical clinic is bombed and a woman
dies in the blast. Within days, the owner of the clinic is
murdered. As Dantzler digs deeper into these cases, he begins to
suspect that the murders are somehow linked together. But how? And
who is the link? Dantzler's list of potential suspects grows, and
so does the body count. Suddenly, Dantzler is scrambling to bring
down the killer-or killers-before more blood is spilled. It's a
race he cannot afford to lose. The Fire of Heaven features a cast
of memorable characters, headed, of course, by Dantzler, the gifted
detective critics have compared to Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch.
Critic Natasha Jackson said it best: "The Fire of Heaven pulls you
in right from the very first paragraph, and Tom Wallace does a
great job of creating a world-class detective in Dantzler."

This is the only tale of perseverance ever told by a courageous
oyster from under the sea. A young boy makes a new friend who tells
him a story about bravery. Set in a beautiful ocean world, the
lesson learned is one he'll never forget. * An Amazon Best-Selling

Four people brutally murdered in Manson-style slayings. A name
written in blood on the TV screen. A scene straight out of a
gruesome horror movie. Only it isn't a movie-it's very real. It's
also unlike anything Kentucky homicide detective Jack Dantzler has
ever encountered. The Devil's Racket plunges Dantzler into a
nightmarish world where he will have to uncover acts of unspeakable
evil. To avoid becoming the next victim, Dantzler must use all of
his skill and cunning to stop the powers of darkness that have been
unleashed in this normally quiet city.
As a promising high school basketball player in Georgia, Jeff
Sheppard was initially overlooked by Kentucky basketball coach Rick
Pitino, who was looking for hardworking players to lead the
Wildcats to the top of the college basketball world. But fate
eventually brought them together and the rest is history, with the
Wildcats winning a pair of national championships.
Heart of a Champion tells of a ballplayer who wouldn't quit and
whose hard work earned him MVP honors in the 1998 Final Four as he
led his Kentucky teammates in one of the most memorable comeback
stories in college basketball history.
