  Royalists and Roundheads Collide...

  Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the English Civil War (1642-1651), this epic historical fiction follows two noble families torn apart by political conviction and united by unexpected love. The Cavendish family, led by William, Earl of Newcastle, represents the Royalist cause—aristocrats who believe in the divine right of kings and traditional order. Opposing them are the Hampdens, headed by the principled John Hampden, Parliamentary champions who fight for constitutional government and the rights of Englishmen. 
  The story begins in 1641 as tensions between King Charles I and Parliament reach breaking point. In a London tavern, Charles Cavendish, younger brother to the Earl of Newcastle, encounters William Hampden in a heated political debate. Their philosophical sparring is interrupted when William's sister Ruth needs assistance with her lame horse. Charles gallantly escorts her home, where he meets John Hampden himself. Despite their political differences, mutual respect develops, and Charles finds himself captivated by Ruth's intelligence and beauty. 
  As civil war erupts in 1642, the families choose their sides. The Cavendishes rally to King Charles I's standard at Nottingham, while John Hampden takes command of a Parliamentary regiment. Charles and Ruth's forbidden romance blossoms through secret correspondence, their love transcending the growing chasm between their worlds. Their relationship symbolizes the personal cost of political division—two souls united by affection yet separated by loyalty to opposing causes. 
  The war's brutal reality unfolds through major battles. At Edgehill, the first great engagement, both sides suffer heavy casualties without decisive victory. Charles fights bravely for the King while wondering if William Hampden stands among the enemy ranks. The northern campaigns see William Cavendish commanding Royalist forces in Yorkshire, while his daughter Jane defends Welbeck Abbey against Parliamentary siege.

  A master storyteller's novel of crime, corruption, and antisemitism in early twentieth-century Manhattan 
   
   
   
  Ravage & Son reflects the lost world of Manhattan's Lower East Side—the cradle of Jewish immigration during the first years of the twentieth century—in a dark mirror. 
   
   
   
  Abraham Cahan, editor of the Jewish Daily Forward, serves as the conscience of the Jewish ghetto teeming with rogue cops and swindlers. He rescues Ben Ravage, an orphan, from a trade school and sends him off to Harvard to earn a law degree. But upon his return, Ben rejects the chance to escape his gritty origins and instead becomes a detective for the Kehilla, a quixotic gang backed by wealthy uptown patrons to help the police rid the Lower East Side of criminals. Charged with rooting out the Jewish "Mr. Hyde," a half-mad villain who attacks the prostitutes of Allen Street, Ben discovers that his fate is irrevocably tied to that of this violent, sinister man. 
   
   
   
  A lurid tale of revenge, this wildly evocative, suspenseful noir is vintage Jerome Charyn.

  Oregon, 1925. Like his semi-reclusive parents, ten-year-old George Graham doesn’t have friends, preferring to live inside the safe and predictable world of his books. This all changes when his classmate Louise Pearson, new to town, befriends him. Curious about his family’s secrets, and with plenty of her own, the pair become an irrepressible, inseparable team, bantering and bickering their way through what turns out to be an unforgettable summer. 
  Louise's quick brain puts together the scattered clues she and George scrounge up about his parents' past. They discover that George's dad has another family back in England—a wife and four daughters—and that he's still sending them almost every penny he earns. Hoping for answers, Louise writes to the eldest of George's half-sisters, Susan, never expecting Susan herself to turn up on the family doorstep unannounced. And all the long-held family secrets begin to unravel.
