  The Murderess is a bone-chilling tale of crime and punishment with the dark beauty of a backwoods ballad. Set on the dirt-poor Aegean island of Skiathos, it is the story of Hadoula, an old woman living on the margins of society and at the outer limits of respectability. Hadoula knows about herbs and their hidden properties, and women come to her when they need help. She knows women’s secrets and she knows the misery of their lives, and as the book begins, she is trying to stop her new-born granddaughter from crying so that her daughter can at last get a little sleep. She rocks the baby and rocks her and then the terrible truth hits there’s nothing worse than being born a woman, and there’s something that she, Hadoula, can do about that.

  A gritty novel featuring resourceful criminal Parker, the anti-hero of Payback.Steel-nerved master thief Parker has his eyes on a fat prize: a gambling casino on the Hudson River. But it' s not in Parker's nature to gamble, so he leaves nothing to chance. From the phony politician to the getaway boat, from bringing guns on board to getting the money off, Parker has it all planned. There are only a few problems: The guy who tipped off Parker is a bureaucrat with a moral streak; the guy who's steering the getaway boat has unsavory friends with plenty of guns; and a reporter on the casino has enough sense to know that something isn't quite right.
  Suddenly, Parker's surefire plan is blowing up like fireworks on the Fourth of July. With his luck going south, and no one left to trust but himself, Parker must do what he does best: punch, claw, and kill his way out of the night.
