Claire Gulliver #02 - Washington Weirdos

Claire Gulliver, middle-aged librarian turned travel bookshop owner, only wants to return to her comfortable staid life in the small peninsula town south of San Francisco after the travel adventure that nearly cost her life and certainly cost her peace of mind in the first Claire Gulliver mystery, Tea is for Terror. Then the letter came from David Lickman, the President and CEO of Vantage Airlines, with a warm and cordial invitation too good to refuse. The trip to Washington D.C. to enjoy the festive Labor Weekend Gala at the Lickmans' estate in Maryland begins with an attempt on Claire's life the first night on the Washington Mall where she's rescued by her friend and CIA agent, Jack. A series of bizarre and dangerous events leads the authorities to question whether the attack against Claire was personal or random. So she must stay put instead of fleeing to the comfortable familiarity of her bookshop and home. Washington Weirdos, the second novel in the Claire Gulliver Mystery series, is a compelling, edge-of-the-seat drama played out against the background of our nation's capital.

Inside the Kingdom

What happened in the Middle East's oil-rich powerhouse- while we weren't looking Saudi Arabia is a country defined by paradox. It is a modern state driven by contemporary technology and possessed of vast oil deposits, yet its powerful religious establishment would have its customs and practices rolled back a thousand years to match those of the prophet Muhammad. With Inside the Kingdom, journalist and bestselling author Robert Lacey has given us one of the most penetrating and insightful looks at Saudi Arabia ever produced. While living for years among the nation's princes and paupers, its clerics and progressives, Lacey endeavored to find out how the consequences of the 1970s oil boom produced a society at war with itself. Filled with stories that trace a path through the Persian Gulf War and the events of 9/11 to the oilmarket convulsions of today, Inside the Kingdom gives us a modern history of the Saudis in their own words, revealing a people attempting to reconcile life under religious law with the demands of a rapidly changing world. Their struggle will have powerful reverberations around the globe, and this rich work provides a penetrating look at a country no one can afford to ignore.
