  If you were going to die, who would you kill? 
  A hard-nosed former Marine/retired cop has a terminal prognosis. When a local priest is accused of molesting kids, he hears the calling of another mission and enlists a coterie of like-minded patients to seek his own brand of vigilante justice. 
  Tommy Borata has cancer. He realizes he can kill without consequences, and he’s got a list. A pedophile priest, a corrupt cop, a fascist political candidate. The hardest battles, the ones he hadn’t counted on, are in his own home: an alcoholic, unfaithful wife and bringing himself to accept his son’s sexuality. 
  Tommy befriends Moses, a black ex-con. As both seek redemption for their past misdeeds, with nothing to lose, they set their sights on Father Tarat.

  Triumph of the Egg: A Book of...

  Sherwood Anderson

  “The Triumph of the Egg” is a collection of stories and poems by Sherwood Anderson. Abandoning the interconnected quality of his more famous “Winesburg, Ohio,” the author adopts a variety of perspectives and settings while exploring similar themes: personal growth, disillusionment, loneliness, and urban-rural contrast. In the North American Review, critic Lawrence Gilman wrote, “Mr. Anderson has achieved a beauty that irradiates his page.” Though largely overshadowed by that celebrated, earlier book, “The Triumph of the Egg” remains a foundational work for Modernist literature, proven by its winning the first annual Dial Award from the influential journal The Dial. 
   
  NOTE TO LISTENERS: The second story in this collection, “I Want to Know Why,” contains language that may be offensive.

  A double murder reveals the dirty dealings and family secrets of a former Irish rugby star in “a formidable puzzle” for the “indomitable” British detective (Kirkus Reviews).   Irish ex-rugby player and now successful businessman, Jim O’Connor, was shot dead at point blank range in the parking lot of Claughton Towers where he was hosting a celebratory dinner. DCI Percy Peach is brought back from holiday to head up the high-profile investigation. It doesn’t take long before he has a surfeit of suspects on close watch—from the victim’s cheating wife to an avenging crime lord to the head of a local prostitution ring to an assassin for the Provisional IRA. Considering Jim’s dicey past, and shadier associations, each suspect has a clear motive.   But the case takes a sharp detour when Jim’s upstanding and much-loved brother Dominic is murdered next. To piece together this deadly puzzle, Peach looks a little closer to home, where the most dangerous impulses may run foul in the O’Connor family blood.   “This series [is] a winner.” —Booklist
