Sinossi

In "The Brighton Boys at St. Mihiel," James R. Driscoll weaves a gripping narrative that immerses readers in the harrowing experiences of young soldiers during World War I. Set against the backdrop of the pivotal St. Mihiel Offensive, the book unfolds through evocative prose, rich character development, and authentic dialogue that captures the camaraderie and struggles of the Brighton Boys. Driscoll's ability to blend historical accuracy with vivid storytelling not only highlights the psychological toll of war but also paints a detailed portrait of early 20th-century Americana, encapsulating the hopes and fears of a generation thrust into conflict. James R. Driscoll, drawing upon his extensive research and personal experiences, crafts this historical fiction as a tribute to the bravery of those who fought. A veteran and historian, Driscoll's understanding of military life and the social dynamics of the era informs his work, lending depth and authenticity to his characters. His appreciation for the complexities of youth is evident, reflecting both admiration and melancholy for those who faced the chaos of war. This book is indispensable for readers interested in military history, young adult literature, or evocative narratives of resilience. "The Brighton Boys at St. Mihiel" serves not only as a thrilling account of battle but also as a poignant exploration of friendship and sacrifice, compelling readers to reflect on the costs of service and the enduring human spirit.

    **Distinguished Favorite Romantic Comedy for the 2024 NYC Big Book Awards** 
    She wants her life back. He wants to live. When a writer and her imaginary muse go head-to-head, real life gets complicated. 
    Callie Austin, the unknown author of the wildly popular Tex Miller book series, decides twenty-plus years of living in anonymity is enough. Her plan? Kill the beloved Tex Miller. But with a fierce agent, a cut-throat editor, and a beyond-zealous fan base, Callie knows not everyone will be happy. And just wait until Tex hears about it. 
    At twenty-two, Callie, orphaned and grieving, conjured Tex Miller, a dashing adventurer, a now-adored literary character who makes women swoon and men sit up straighter. Her novel skyrocketed, but Callie was lucky. It was the mid-1990s, pre-internet explosion, and much to her publisher’s chagrin, she insisted she remain anonymous by using a pen name. The enigmatic Calliope Jones was born and cloistered away in one fell swoop, leaving an idolizing public scratching its collective head. Visible only to her, Tex Miller became her constant screwball companion. 
    Two decades and a dozen books later, on a routine trip to NYC, Callie plans to end the Tex Miller saga, but an up-and-coming streaming service’s offer to turn Callie’s books into an original series may waylay Tex’s demise. Things spiral further when her trusted longtime driver falls ill, and a younger replacement chauffeur catches her eye—and maybe her heart, while Tex goes rogue, unsure he’s down with the new plot twists. 
    Throw in a dogged gossip blog’s rabid pursuit of ‘the truth’ along with Calliope Jones’s fervent fandom, and the world's favorite unidentified writer has her hands full.

    When scandal strikes her family, this debutante must act quickly! 
     
     
     
    Eloisa Holt is not the type of woman to wander London on her own. In fact, she's not even the type of woman to consider such a thing. After all, her governesses hailed her as a paragon of everything proper. But when a nude painting of her mother scandalizes the ton, Eloisa must stop more paintings from being displayed. This debutante is desperate. 
     
     
     
    Lord Cornelius Chichester knows the first rule of being a best friend: 
     
     
     
    Don't fall in love with your best friend's sister. 
     
     
     
    Unfortunately, that rule becomes difficult to follow when he discovers Eloisa by herself at an indecent hour. Still, perhaps helping his best friend's younger sister is honorable. He may have promised his friend long ago he would never marry one of his sisters, but Cornelius never promised he would not be of assistance.

    The first book in the "outstanding" British police procedural series—the basis for the long-running BBC series featuring the Yorkshire detective duo (The New York Times). 
     
     
      
    Reginald Hill "raised the classical British mystery to new heights" when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (The New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them "the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction" (Toronto Star). The Gold Dagger Award–winning series was adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC. 
     
     
      
    Mary Connon froze out her husband, Sam, long ago. She likes the attention of other men—like the fellow members of Sam's rugby club. Naturally, when she's found dead in her sitting room with a hole in her head, Sam is a suspect. If only he hadn't suffered a dizzying scrum injury that's left everything a blur. He isn't sure that he didn't kill her. But Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, Peter Pascoe, are looking outside the unhappy home. Because it seems everyone within spitting distance of the suburban femme fatale—from prying neighbors to spurned lovers to jealous wives—wanted Mary dead. As the field of play expands, so do the motives . . .
