Following his capture of the notorious assassin, Carlos, Nyles
Monahan has retired from the LAPD to become a private investigator.
But when his closest friend, Father Tom O'Flannery is summoned to
Boston to face accusations of having molested an altar boy thirty
years earlier, Nyles returns to his birthplace to help his friend,
only to find that the priest's accuser has been killed and Father
Tom has been charged with murder. One murder leads to another, as
Nyles' witnesses disappear almost as soon as he finds them, until
he finds both himself and his brother's family in danger as he
searches for a child molester and cold-blooded killer. Chasing
Tales is an intricately plotted detective thriller, filled with
twists, turns, and mounting danger, which is sure to please Nyles
Monahan fans.
Can an atheist believe that life has meaning? Where do his values
come from and are they different from those who believe in God or
Spirit? Can he view all life as sacred and interconnected? If he
doesn't believe in God, is he free of guilt? These are among the
questions addressed in this small book. Written by an atheist, Is
God Really Necessary? shares the author's progression from being a
religious believer to being a nonbeliever. He outlines his
materialist philosophy and its implications for topics such as
belief in spirit, or development of a value system. The book is
written in an informal personal style, but contains more formal
arguments for the material point of view in the appendices.
When Norman Cantwell revisits the tiny New England village of
Wacusset, Massachusetts after an absence of thirty-six years in
order to renew his acquaintance with the woman with whom he was in
love many years before, he begins to reminisce about that earlier
love affair. His thoughts take him back to 1975 when, as the son of
one of the most powerful publishers in the country, he came to
Massachusetts to take over a small, struggling literary press in
Boston. Norman settled in the small seacoast town of Wacusset where
he fell in love with both the town and with one of its inhabitants,
the successful and beautiful literary agent, Sandra Hallowell. The
novel follows Norman's struggles to make his publishing company
profitable while maintaining its literary quality, at the same time
he is trying to maintain a relationship with Sandra, who sends him
a novel written by a new author, a novel which has the potential to
win literary awards as well as to sell. Norman must struggle with
the on and off attention of the peripatetic Sandra, while at the
same time finding himself increasingly attracted to the young
novelist. Unquity is a love story, a story of the adoration of
literature and a story of the Boston and south shore area in the
mid 1970's, written with grace and sensitivity and which is sure to
engage every lover of good literature.
Where Have All The Young Men Gone, the first of three novels in the
Morality Series, is a satirical allegory and political thriller,
which takes place in a dystopian present reminiscent of George
Orwell or Philip K. Dick. Derek Stewart, the last American soldier
to have been wounded in the Vietnam war, has been in a coma for
forty years. The world to which he wakes is one in which
Christianity has become the official religion of the United States,
Muslims are jailed or deported, speech is no longer free and ideas
that threaten the government are punishable under the Patriot Act
III. Stewart is an African-American whose pacifism threatens to
gain support in both America and Africa and he becomes the enemy of
both U.S. President Fremont F. Ferris, who plans to obliterate
Middle Eastern capitals with nuclear weapons and of Moustafa al
Adim, the leader of the terrorist group, al Mout li Kafir, which is
trying to terrorize the West and radicalize African Muslims. Both
of his adversaries are determined to kill Stewart whose aim is to
reveal the shallowness behind their ideas and the fruitlessness of
their actions.
