1968: Vietnam. Deep in the battle ravaged jungle twelve US Marines
confront an enemy infinitely more terrifying and savage than the
Viet Cong. An immortal evil. An agent of the apocalypse lurks
watching. Waiting. 1988: Manhattan; the economic hub of global
commerce. Six survivors must reunite to destroy the bloodthirsty
horror they believed defeated and buried decades ago. These six
ex-marines are about to discover that some wars never end. And the
Heart of War beats eternal. LOCK AND LOAD
Forty years ago, Seth Rigal was a man to be feared - a serial
strangler with a string of victims. Now nearly seventy and
tormented by a lifetime of monstrous violence, Rigal lives on the
verge of poverty and quietly waits for the death he knows he
deserves. Tortured and confused, still tormented by the drives that
made him a killer in his youth, Rigal finds himself almost
unconsciously stalking the daughter of his final victim - only to
have his precious anonymity snatched from him when he accidentally
saves her son's life. Seth Rigal, formerly known as the Gripper,
just became a local celebrity. The bodies won't stay buried any
longer. White Knuckle is a complex and intense psychological
thriller, distorting the ever-popular retired gunslinger motif into
a rain-slick urban fantasy of murderous men and the needs that
drive them.
An illustrated holiday tale for nearly all denominations. Jasper
"Kat" Petty has a case of Grinchitis. Most folks suffer a
Scrooge-moment now and then, but for Kat, it's a virulent strain
that has hung on for sixteen years. In high school, young Petty had
the dream of being a novelist tucked into one pocket and a national
writing award stashed in the other. But that was before his dad
died, leaving the family in financial chaos. Forced to give up
college and take a blue-collar job, he now watches his friends
start families while he struggles through a string of "Caroles" who
love him and leave him in short order-nearly always at Christmas.
Enter: Chi, a comic devil who may or may not be God himself. The
silver-haired eccentric with the wisecracking mouth and cockeyed
view of living and loving shows Kat how to drop his prickly
barriers and take one last shot at fulfilling his dreams-with of
all things? Another Carole.
