DESERTER IN ALGERIA - A SAHARA DESERT STORY
 
During street riots in Beirut, the ten-year-old Ismael's parents were brutally killed by one of the fanatical fighters with a curved saber. He witnessed it all from a hiding place and swore revenge on the man with one foot significantly shorter than the other. As a young man in the Israeli Navy, one night he spots the same man in a North African city, the man on whom he wants to exact his revenge. However, he doesn't get the opportunity to kill him, but he sees that the man is now in the French Foreign Legion. Ismael deserts the Israeli Navy and joins the French Foreign Legion, hoping to encounter the man there.
 
During an operation in Vietnam, Ismael is struck by shrapnel and ends up in the hospital. There, he meets the girl of his dreams, but at the same time, he also sees his hated enemy in a bed a little distance from him. Due to his injured leg, he can't do anything, but the nurse helps him find out more about his hated enemy. Back in the Foreign Legion, Ismael is sent on another mission, where he loses all his comrades, and then he arrives at another division of Legion soldiers. There, he finally gets his chance after ten long years of searching to exact his revenge and avenge the blood of his parents. Due to his desertion from both the Israeli Navy and the Foreign Legion, he is shortly thereafter arrested by the government, and a judge must decide his fate.

The Monkeewrench crew returns in a twisty, heart-stopping new thriller. 
  
The peaceful Christmas season in Minneapolis is shattered when two friends, Chuck Spencer and Wally Luntz, scheduled to meet in person for the first time, are murdered on the same night, two hours and several miles apart, dramatically concluding winter vacation for homicide detectives Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth. 
  
An hour north of Minneapolis, Lydia Ascher comes home to find two dead men in her basement. When Leo and Gino discover her connection to their current cases, they suspect that she is a target, too.

This series of inexplicable events sends the detectives sixty years into the past to search for answers—and straight to Grace MacBride’s Monkeewrench, a group of eccentric computer geniuses who devote their time and resources to helping the cops solve the unsolvable. What they find is an unimaginable horror—a dormant Armageddon that might be activated at any moment unless Grace and her partners Annie, Roadrunner, and Harley Davidson, along with Leo and Gino, can find a way to stop it.

The Plan

Susan Klopfer

Starting in New York City, The Plan quickly moves to the Mississippi Delta and winds up in Ecuador. Based on a true story of two murdered civil rights lawyers, Susan Klopfer’s intriguing work weaves factual history through alternative or paranormal fiction themes. The tight bond between Clinton and Joe, two gay, black lawyers is broken when Joe (openly married to a knockout blond woman) is reportedly found hanged. Moore believes Joe Means was tortured and murdered (not a suicide, as Joe’s cagey wife insists), and that his and Joe’s shared obsession—investigating the cover-ups of various murders and assassinations of civil rights activists, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and President John Kennedy—is the reason for Joe’s death. Clinton also believes he is next on a hit list, and that solving Joe’s murder is his only chance of survival. When he discovers Joe’s wife, Tara, was spirited away as an expat to South America, he sends his trusted Spanish-speaking legal assistant, Mollie Johnson, to Ecuador for the adventure of her life. But Clinton Moore is killed before Mollie even leaves the airport. Mollie responds to join forces with former Dallas journalist Sara Mercury, and together they take readers into the high Andes to bring home Joe’s widow who they believe is in serious danger. Filled with more than enough civil rights and alternative history to titillate the most sophisticated conspiracy theorist, Klopfer‘s first foray into paranormal and alternative fiction is thought-provoking fodder and a fun read! Ties to the KKK, paramilitary groups (Militia), Neo Nazis, Chile's Colonia Dignidad (Paul Schaeffer and Augusto Pinochet), the NSA, FBI, CIA and the assassinations of two famous civil rights leaders and President John F. Kennedy, keep the fast pace of this historical fiction, paranormal thriller that is first of the Civil Rights Mystery Sleuth crime adventure series.

Working with Manu, whom she’s never gotten along with at work, Emma goes undercover in several organizations including International Congress of Families, a powerful organization seeking to criminalize homosexuality in African countries. As Emma infiltrates the ICF, she uncovers a web of deceit and hypocrisy and discovers that the mastermind behind the murders is someone much closer than she ever imagined.
