On 19th September, 1931, two years before he came to power, Geli was found dead of a gunshot wound in Hitler's apartment in an exclusive area of Munich. Her death was ruled a suicide, but the suspicion of murder remained long after she had been laid to rest. In 1971, Annie Pohlmann, a young American student, arrives in Germany to interview retired detective Fritz Stecher, who headed the original investigation. She gets more than she bargained for when Stecher reveals the whole story of a case that not only nearly kills him, but almost changed the course of history. Views: 8

Thirteen-year-old Doug narrates in a series of blog posts (many interrupted by either his best friend, smart girl Jamie, or the artificial intelligence who mothers him, the avatar) how he came to temporarily save the world and to be branded a terrorist and a murderer. He was innocently playing video games in the employee lounge of the biotechnology center where his aunt was a director when an insane genius ex-employee broke in, stole the equipment to digitize anyone and make his own biodroid army, killed Doug's aunt, and blew up the center (and soon the nearby town). Doug managed to escape, accidentally creating three super-powered creatures, and gaining a electronics-destroying superpower of his own with which to fight the evil Dr. Roach. Views: 8
A Dev Haskell tale, read them in any order you wish. Russian Roulette is an entertaining tale of intrigue, rank ineptitude and one night stands. Dysfunctional PI Dev Haskell wakes up in bed with his latest client and she's signed him up with the Russian mob. Their 'special' relationshp quickly finds Dev at odds with the local police and an FBI Task Force. In the process Dev places one foot on both sides of the law. Another fast paced, engrossing supense thriller from Minnesota's master of the bizarre, Mike Faricy.From the AuthorRussian Roulette introduces my character Devlin Haskell. The Dev Haskell books can be read in any order, but this is his entry door. A voracious reader, I became tired reading about the same sort of ex-special forces or super-cop character who just wanted to be left alone, but the bad guys pushed him too far and now 'He's coming back with more than just revenge on his mind'. Dev isn't going to be sailing onto the roof of the White House at O-dark-thirty strapped to a kite, ready to take out the bad guys holding the First Lady for ransom. He's not going to be saving the world from banking conspiracies or from international terrorism. Rather, Dev Haskell represents the sort of character we all know, but wisely keep at arms length. He's the guy who didn't mean to knock over the wedding cake. As a teenager he probably smashed up the family car, more than once. You want to keep tabs on him, it's always interesting, but you wouldn't want him dating your sister or your daughter.
