    Do you dare to question what’s real, who’s in charge—and what they’re willing to sacrifice to stay there? 
    Think Fargo meets Fight Club, with a dash of Bad Monkey and a side of Dexter. This story delivers sharp commentary and strange bedfellows: sophisticated internationalists, drone pilots in bunny slippers, assassins on banana seat bikes, and network news anchors with God complexes. 
    Meet Leroy O’Malley of Apalachicola, Florida: a naive and hopeful dreamer. All he wanted was a shot at the good life—a steady job, maybe even a dental plan.  
    This is the story of a man who made the mistake of believing the lies we are all told.  
    Always down on his luck, a chance encounter with a foul-mouthed - though oddly charismatic - out-of-towner at a roadside oyster shack suddenly launches Leroy on the fast-track to the life he’s always wanted.  
    But as the stakes rise, he finds himself swept into a tangled mess of black ops, corrupt officials, and media puppeteers who see him as the perfect fall guy. He thought he was chasing purpose and a 401K plan—until purpose chased him back with a surgical saw and an igloo cooler. 
    Will he choose himself or America?  
    The only way to find out is to read the series.

    "The entwined stories and Amato's passionate narration will remain in listeners' minds long after the mysteries are solved." —AudioFile on In the Shadow of VesuviusIn the latest installment of Tasha Alexander’s New York Times bestselling series, Lady Emily must solve a string of high stakes “accidents” while trapped in a lavish villa in the Bavarian Alps.In the winter of 1906, Lady Emily and husband Colin are invited to the opulent home of Baroness Ursula von Duchtel in the Bavarian alps. Outside is a mountainous winter wonderland with a view of Mad King Ludwig’s fairy tale castle. Inside, the villa hosts a magnificent but eclectic art collection—as well as an equally eclectic collection of fellow guests, among them a musician, an art dealer, a coquette from the demi-monde, and Kaspar, the Baroness’ boorish son-in-law, whom, it begins to appear, someone wants dead. Almost forty years earlier, Niels, a young German lord, sings to himself in the forest surrounding those same alps, capturing the attention of a not-yet-mad King Ludwig. Niels and the king become fast friends, their relationship deepening into something more as their time together stretches on. But while King Ludwig is content to live out a fantasy where their responsibilities don't matter and the outside world doesn't affect them, Niels knows that their bliss cannot last forever... Decades later, Emily continues to investigate Kaspar's increasingly lethal “mishaps" when tragedy strikes, ensnaring the guests in a web of fear and suspicion. It’s up to Emily to sift through old secrets and motivations, some stretching far into the past, to unmask the killer.A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

    This book is the beginning of my story. If you are reading this, you are either my son or grandson. I hope doing good will be your mission, as it was mine. I lived an entire life with family, true friends, and adventures beyond anything I imagined. I fought in two wars, worked two primary careers, and created wealth to be used to do good. The wealth you will learn about and experience as you turn evil to good. Evil comes from anywhere, anytime. It never sleeps, rests, or needs time off. Many shapes, sizes, personalities, and shades of beauty carry evil.  
    Evil roams through countries, territories, states, counties, cities, large and small towns through people wanting chaos, creating fear and destruction. Countries fight battles to win treasures, land, people, ideas, resources, and freedom or cause despair. Evil disguises itself as fighting for good as it tears good apart. If you stand on the sidelines of life and watch evil overwhelm others, are you assisting the spread of evil? What can I do? I have fought evil most of my life from the shadows. Why is it so hard sometimes to have a life? I have combated evil by attempting to help all I encounter to obtain and maintain what they truly desire in life. Evil manifests by blocking what people need, want, and desire or providing paths leading to destruction, pain, death, or the opposite of what you should do. My philosophy is to unblock seemingly impossible pathways and free people to obtain their destiny by providing help to stay on the paths they were born to follow. Freedom started once I understood how to combat evil with good. While alive, this book is only for you. Your designated heir may read this book, and I hope you will write a book or two. There are secrets in this and a few other books, and I trust you to read them and keep their secrets undisclosed and safe. Enjoy the hope in others and the future. Jedediah Justin Davis, Sr.
