Sinopse

A coming-of-age story of a young white girl who discovers racism and betrayal as she tries to unravel the truth about her parents’ deaths and escape the town that lied to her."Fly Like a Bird presents plot and subplot lines compelling enough to keep the reader turning the pages, and heart racing at times. . . Those who populate the story are colorful, loving, hateful, sad, evil, heroic and courageous, but never stereotypical . . ." - Verified ReviewerIvy, a young girl growing up in a small town in the 70s where everyone knows everything, discovers her family and the people in her town are keeping secrets about the night a car crash killed her parents.The secrets she uncovers and her efforts to leave the town that lied to her, force Ivy to confront betrayal, death, racism, and the meaning of family."I actually lived this book. Took me 8 hours to read it. Couldn't put it down. I'd recommend it to everyone. It doesn't matter where you were born and raised, home is really where your family lives, related or not." - Verified reviewer."This was a great read! The author really dived deep into topics of racism, domestic violence, sexuality and the impact of family secrets via a young girl that loses her parents. This was well written and an enjoyable read" - Goodreads review.". . . I am pleased to recommend this noir-style Iowa historical to friends and family. It is an interesting read, telling tales of what it takes to make-or-break a family . . ." - Bonnye, Netgalley and Goodreads reviews". . . I really connected with this book. I found it hard to put down. It resolved too quickly and perfectly in my opionion, and that felt rushed. . . I would have liked a cliff hanger and a follow up book . . . it was THAT enjoyable. I will definitely read more from this author and would recommend this book highly." - Colleen - NetGalley review"I love family stories, especially about grandparents. And this is a good one. Ivy has lived with her grandmother for as long as she can remember, ever since her parents were tragically killed. Theirs is a small town in the 70s, rife with racism and prejudice and suspicion and secrets. Seems like everyone knows those secrets except for Ivy. The older she gets, the more driven she becomes to find out the truth about what really happened that night so very long ago." - Shawna - NetGalley review

    Ancient history or a motive for murder? 
    Chief Inspector Shadow is investigating an act of vandalism in the ruins of St Mary’s Abbey and several random break-ins around York when he’s called out to a moorland village. A wealthy but eccentric businessman, obsessed with Saxon history, has been found dead. Adding to the confusion, the victim’s study’s been ransacked and there’s a second burglary in the village and vandalism in the churchyard. Are all the cases related? Initially, the death seems centered around an ancient Saxon treasure trove and missing parchment map. But there are many reasons for murder. This list of suspects grows frustratingly long, baffling Shadow. 
    John Shadow is a man of contradictions. A solitary figure who shuns company but is a keen observer of all he meets. A lover of good food but whose fridge is almost always empty. He prefers to work alone but is assisted by the eager Sergeant Jimmy Chang. 
    Now Inspector Shadow and Jimmy must discover if the murder is linked to the ancient treasure or the more recent past.

    Nobody robs banks in Belfast without the IRA getting a cut—not even former Provo James "Ructions" O'Hare. But when word gets around O'Hare may be up to something, the pressure from the IRA begins. 
     
     
     
    Ructions trusts his crack squad of former paramilitary compadres, and has full confidence in his audacious plan: To literally empty the biggest bank in Belfast by kidnapping the families of two employees—known as a "tiger" kidnapping—in order to force them to help Ructions and his crew get into the bank's vault. 
     
     
     
    But keeping the plan—and the money—from the IRA is another plan entirely, one requiring all Ructions's cunning and skill. 
     
     
     
    In this stunning debut novel, as audacious and well-executed as Ructions's plan to rob the National Bank itself, Richard O'Rawe—a former IRA bank robber himself—unleashes a story that will shock, surprise, and thrill as he takes you on a white-knuckle ride through Belfast's criminal underbelly. Enter the deadly world of tiger kidnappings, kangaroo courts, money laundering, drug deals, and double-crosses.
