Psychologist-detective
Dr. Alex Delaware finds terror in the heart of paradise in this
relentlessly sinister novel by America's premier writer of psychological
suspense, the author of ten successive New York Times bestsellers. Three
months in paradise, all expenses paid. It's an invitation Alex
Delaware can't refuse. Dr. Woodrow Wilson Moreland, a revered scientist
and philanthropist on the tiny Pacific island of Aruk, has invited Alex
to his home to help him organize his papers for publication-- a light
workload leaving Alex plenty of time to enjoy a romantic interlude with
Robin Castagna.Quickly, however, secretive houseguests,
frightening nocturnal visitors, and the elusive Dr. Moreland himself dim
the pleasures of deep blue water and whitesand.The cases
Moreland chooses to share--a patient driven to madness by a cruel,
unspeakable act; a man who succumbed forty years ago to radiation
poisoning after a nuclear blast; a young woman, brutally murdered, whose
mutilated body was found on the beach just six months before-- seem
unconnected. And yet Alex can't help wondering what the good doctor is
trying to tell him...and what Moreland's real reason for inviting him to
Aruk is.As Alex probes--with a little long-distance help from
his friend LAPD detective Milo Sturgis--he comes to believe the answer
lies hidden somewhere on Moreland's vast estate. Yet when he finally
discovers the truth, the revelation will be more shocking than he could
have imagined. And it will come too late to stem the tide of violence
that threatens guilty and innocent alike on the lovely lost island of
Aruk.Once again, with his brilliant characterizations and
rapid-fire pace, Jonathan Kellerman has redefined the boundaries of
suspense, probing real-life horrors and innermost fears in a novel that
transfixes from first page to last. Views: 62
A startling history of modern Afghanistan—the story of a country caught in a vortex of terrorVeteran defense analyst David Isby provides an insightful and meticulously researched look at the current situation in Afghanistan, her history, and what he believes must be done so that the U.S. and NATO coalition can succeed in what has historically been known as "the graveyard of empires." Afghanistan is one of the poorest countries in the world with one of the lowest literacy rates. It is rife with divisions between ethnic groups that dwarf current schisms in Iraq, along with conflicts between rogue factions from Pakistan, with whom relations are increasingly strained.The task of implementing an effective American policy and cementing Afghan rule is hampered by what Isby sees as separate but overlapping conflicts between terrorism, narcotics, and regional rivalries, each presenting separate yet equally challenging issues to resolve. This book provides the road map to... Views: 62

When the night came, he went to the meeting-place, and quietly let himself be blindfolded. Raw as Honoré de Balzac is famed to be, this daring novella—never before published as a stand-alone book—is perhaps the most outlandish thing he ever wrote. While still concerned with the depiction of the underside of Parisian life, as is most of Balzac’s oeuvre, The Girl with the Golden Eyes considers not the working lives of the poor, but the sex lives of the upper crust. In a nearly boroque rendering with erotically charged details as well as lush and extravagant language, The Girl with the Golden Eyes tells the story of a rich and ruthless young man in nineteenth century Paris caught up in an amorous entanglement with a mysterious beauty. His control slipping, incest, homosexuality, sexual slavery, and violence combine in what was then, and still remains, a shocking and taboo-breaking work.**The Art of The Novella Series **Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time. From the Trade Paperback edition.Review"I wanted them all, even those I'd already read."—Ron Rosenbaum, *The New York Observer* "Small wonders."—*Time Out London* "[F]irst-rate…astutely selected and attractively packaged…indisputably great works."—Adam Begley, *The New York Observer* "I’ve always been haunted by Bartleby, the proto-slacker. But it’s the handsomely minimalist cover of the Melville House edition that gets me here, one of many in the small publisher’s fine 'Art of the Novella' series."—*The New Yorker* "The Art of the Novella series is sort of an anti-Kindle. What these singular, distinctive titles celebrate is book-ness. They're slim enough to be portable but showy enough to be conspicuously consumed—tiny little objects that demand to be loved for the commodities they are."—KQED (NPR San Francisco) "Some like it short, and if you're one of them, Melville House, an independent publisher based in Brooklyn, has a line of books for you... elegant-looking paperback editions ...a good read in a small package."—*The Wall Street Journal* From the Trade Paperback edition.About the AuthorHonoré de Balzac was born in 1799 in Tours, France, into a bourgeois family (he added the aristocratic “de” in adulthood). Soon after graduating from the Sorbonne, he quit the practice of law and, impoverished in a Parisian garret, began his legendary habit of writing feverishly around the clock, fueled by dozens of cups of coffee. He quickly produced a series of increasingly successful novels. He also began a series of failed businesses—including a publishing house and a pineapple farm—that would leave him, despite increasing fame, in hair-raising and life-long debt; his house in Paris had a hidden exit to escape creditors. Balzac cemented his status as the father of realism with his 95-volume overview of French society, the stories, essays, and novels (including Pere Goriot, Eugénie Grandet, and Cousin Bette) he called La Comédie Humaine. In 1850 the famous man-about-town married a Polish countess with whom he’d conducted a romantic correspondence for 18 years, only to die three months later. Charlotte Mandell has won the Modern Language Association Prize in translation. Among other titles she has translated for The Art of The Novella series are Gustave Flaubert’s A Simple Heart and Guy De Maupassant’s The Horla. Views: 62
