  In a nameless country under military occupation, two friends prepare to attend a wedding. The young man is from the occupied region ("This Place"), the woman is from the occupying nation-state ("That Place"). The complicated relationship between these two protagonists with unusual professions—he is a Protest Designer and she is a De-programmer—is tested when, on the eve of the wedding, the occupying power, That Place, formally annexes This Place and declares a curfew. 
   
   
   
  Suddenly finding themselves confined to the same isolated space, the young woman and man try to kill time but inevitably wind up talking about the ways in which the war between their homelands pervades the unexplored and undeniable attraction between them. Will their relationship become another casualty of war? 
   
   
   
  This Place That Place is an evocative novel that functions as a bold allegory for militarized occupations anywhere. This brilliant literary debut provides new ways to think about the intersections between the personal and the political; between occupier and occupied; between the kinds of bonds that endure, and those that have no choice but to fracture.

  What if you were offered a gig by some shadowy and well-financed interests to funnel five million dollars to rebels holed up in the Philippine mountains? They need to fund a revolt against the Aquino government and a resourceful and gutsy team to engineer it. And what a team it is: Booth Stallings, a terrorism expert, is the only man the rebel leader trusts as a liaison; Georgia Blue is a colorful, statuesque female bodyguard; " Otherguy" Overby— so called for his skill in making sure whenever he's in trouble, that the other guy did it— is their point man; and for the sake of local expertise, is Artie Wu— the illegitimate son of the illegitimate daughter of the Boy Emperor of China— and his slick, often explosive partner Quincy Durant. None of them are very interested in the political power struggle, but five million dollars? That's another story!

  Life is looking good for amateur sleuth/professional fashionista Haley Randolph. She's even close to getting her hands on the Delicious, the season's hottest purse—until she's hit with a curse from an irate customer at Holt's department store.
