Bear Haskell, U.S. Deputy Marshall : a frontier duo / Peter Brandvold.
In Gun Trouble at Diamondback, Bear is given the nasty assignment of going after the man or men who killed his
old friend, Lou Cameron. Cameron was the town marshal of Diamondback, a small, dusty settlement in the wilds
of Wyoming Territory ‐‐ until someone backshot him when he was leaving the outhouse behind his office. When
Bear rides into Diamondback, he finds himself not only chin‐deep in the mystery of who killed his old friend but
eyebrow deep in the allure of his old friend's still‐beautiful and alluring widow. In The Jackals of Sundown, Henry
Dade assigns his top deputy, Haskell, to head down to Texas and throw the cuffs on an infamous and notoriously
mysterious as well as slippery regulator named Jack Hyde, whose cunning and devious methods of killing those
he's been paid to kill, as well as his uncanny ability to avoid capture, have gotten him dubbed "the Jackal."
Complicating matters is that nobody seems to know what the Jackal looks like. No one has gotten that close and
lived to tell about him. He rides like a ... well, like a jackal haunting the range!

Elevator pitch / Linwood Barclay.
It all begins on a Monday, when four people board an elevator in a Manhattan office tower. Each presses a
button for their floor, but the elevator proceeds, non‐stop, to the top. Once there, it stops for a few seconds,
and then plummets. Right to the bottom of the shaft. It appears to be a horrific, random tragedy. But then, on
Tuesday, it happens again, in a different Manhattan skyscraper. And when Wednesday brings yet another high‐

rise catastrophe, one of the most vertical cities in the world ‐‐ and the nation’s capital of media, finance, and
entertainment ‐‐ is plunged into chaos. Clearly, this is anything but random. This is a cold, calculated bid to
terrorize the city. And it’s working. Fearing for their lives, thousands of men in women working in offices across
the city refuse leave their homes. Commerce has slowed to a trickle. Emergency calls to the top floors of
apartment buildings go unanswered. Who is behind this? Why are they doing it? What do these deadly acts of
sabotage have to do with the fingerless body found on the High Line? Two seasoned New York detectives and a
straight‐shooting journalist must race against time to find the answers before the city’s newest, and tallest,
residential tower has its Friday night ribbon‐cutting.

A woman of no importance : the untold story of the American spy who helped win World War II / Sonia Purnell.
In 1942, the Gestapo sent out an urgent transmission: "She is the most dangerous of all Allied spies. We must
find and destroy her." The target in their sights was Virginia Hall, a Baltimore socialite who talked her way into
Special Operations Executive, the spy organization dubbed Winston Churchill's "Ministry of Ungentlemanly
Warfare." She became the first Allied woman deployed behind enemy lines and ‐‐ despite her prosthetic leg ‐‐
helped to light the flame of the French Resistance, revolutionizing secret warfare as we know it. Virginia
established vast spy networks throughout France, called weapons and explosives down from the skies, and
became a linchpin for the Resistance. Even as her face covered wanted posters and a bounty was placed on her
head, Virginia refused order after order to evacuate. She finally escaped through a death‐defying hike over the
Pyrenees into Spain, her cover blown. But she plunged back in, adamant that she had more lives to save, and led
a victorious guerilla campaign, liberating swathes of France from the Nazis after D‐Day. Based on extensive
research, Sonia Purnell has uncovered the full secret life of Virginia Hall ‐‐ an astounding and inspiring story of
heroism, spycraft, resistance, and personal triumph over shocking adversity.

Travel with purpose : a field guide to voluntourism / Jeff Blumenfeld.
Imagine yourself in a schoolroom in one of the most remote regions of one of the most hard‐to‐reach countries
on earth. Nepal. The Lower Mustang region to be exact. To reach it takes a 14‐hour flight from New York to
Doha, Qatar. Then four hours by air to Kathmandu. Transfer at one of the world's most dangerous airports to a
90‐minute flight to Pokhara, followed by a jarring, eight‐hour Jeep ride over a vertiginous dirt road ‐‐ one side is

a mountain wall, the other side a two‐hundred foot cliff. Finally you arrive, but it's not just any schoolroom. It
has been converted into an operating room so that doctors from New York Eye & Ear Infirmary can provide the
gift of sight to 24 Nepalis who were blind due to advanced cataracts. Jeff Blumenfeld witnessed this first hand.
He was there as a traveler, but also as a volunteer. A voluntourist. People often wonder how they can explore
the world and help the less fortunate even if they don't possess specialized skills. These are people who make
lousy vacationers. They're bored sitting on a beach or touring umpteen churches on a cruise ship excursion. They
want a meaningful role when they travel. That's where voluntourism comes in ‐‐ a mix of both travel and
volunteering. Is it hard work building wells and schoolhouses or excavating dinosaur bones? Yes, it is. But
voluntourism doesn't take a particular outdoor skill, just plenty of sweat and the desire to see the world and
leave it a better place. Travel With Purpose deals not with celebrities, nor the rich and famous. Instead, it relays
examples from Blumenfeld's travels and many others from Las Vegas to Nepal. From health care facilities to
impoverished schools. These are stories of inspiration from everyday people, all of whom have definite opinions
about the best way to approach that first volunteer vacation. You don't need to be wealthy to travel to foreign
lands to volunteer; you may not even have to go to foreign lands, as opportunities may exist within your own
state. Blumenfeld shows readers how to identify the right location and volunteer situation, how to go about
planning trips and preparing for activities, how to reach out, how to help.

American predator : the hunt for the most meticulous serial killer of the 21st century / Maureen Callahan.
Ted Bundy. John Wayne Gacy. Jeffrey Dahmer. The names of notorious serial killers are usually well‐known; they
echo in the news and in public consciousness. But most people have never heard of Israel Keyes, one of the
most ambitious and terrifying serial killers in modern history. The FBI considered his behavior unprecedented.
Described by a prosecutor as "a force of pure evil," Keyes was a predator who struck all over the United States.
He buried "kill kits" ‐‐ cash, weapons, and body‐disposal tools ‐‐ in remote locations across the country. Over the
course of fourteen years, Keyes would fly to a city, rent a car, and drive thousands of miles in order to use his
kits. He would break into a stranger's house, abduct his victims in broad daylight, and kill and dispose of them in
mere hours. And then he would return home to Alaska, resuming life as a quiet, reliable construction worker
devoted to his only daughter. When journalist Maureen Callahan first heard about Israel Keyes in 2012, she was
captivated by how a killer of this magnitude could go undetected by law enforcement for over a decade. And so
began a project that consumed her for the next several years ‐‐ uncovering the true story behind how the FBI
ultimately caught Israel Keyes, and trying to understand what it means for a killer like Keyes to exist. A killer who
left a path of monstrous, randomly committed crimes in his wake ‐‐ many of which remain unsolved to this day.
American Predator is the culmination of years of interviews with key figures in law enforcement and in Keyes's
life, and research uncovered from classified FBI files. Callahan takes us on a journey into the chilling, nightmarish
mind of a relentless killer, and to the limitations of traditional law enforcement.

Fifty things that aren't my fault : essays from the grown‐up years / by Cathy Guisewite.
As the creator of the comic strip "Cathy," Cathy Guisewite returns with her signature wit and warmth in this
debut essay collection about another time of big transition, when everything starts changing and disappearing
without permission: aging parents, aging children, aging self stuck in the middle. Guisewite unearths the humor
and horror of everything from the mundane (trying to introduce her parents to TiVo and facing four decades'
worth of unorganized photos) to the profound (finding a purpose post‐retirement and declaring freedom from
all those things that hold us back).
