  French ex-pat Tristan Mourault is the wealthy, urbane heir to a world-renowned collection of art - and an insatiable voyeur enamored with Karen Miller, a fifteen-year-old from a working-class family in San Francisco. Deciding he must 'rescue' Karen from her unhappy circumstances, Tristan kidnaps her and stages her death to mask his true crime. Years later, Karen is now Gisele and the pair lead an opulent life in idyllic and rarefied Devon, Washington. But when Nicola, Gisele's young daughter, stumbles upon a secret cache of paintings - all nudes of Gisele - Tristan's carefully constructed world begins to crumble. As Nicola grapples with the tragedy that follows, she crosses paths with Amanda Miller, who comes to Devon to investigate the portraits' uncanny resemblance to her long-lost sister. Set against a byzantine backdrop of greed, artifice, and dangerous manipulations, this is an intoxicating debut that keeps its darkest secrets until the very last page.

  When a programme runs for years, and sometimes decades, it is a proven mark of quality and popularity that would be hard to dispel. 
  The situation comedy ‘Fibber McGee and Molly’ ran from 1935 to 1959 on the NBC Red network and was often the most popular and eagerly awaited show of the week.  
  Fibber was a story-teller prone to mad-cap schemes who was gently eased back into reality by his ever-loving wife Molly.  
  The comic duo, played by the real-life married couple of Jim & Marion Jordan, lived in the working-class community of Wistful Vista.  Here, they played out their adventures amongst neighbours, friends and acquaintances.  Comedy and life came together in an almost perfect blend of American life.  
  79 Wistful Vista was their home visited weekly by an audience that sought refuge from a long line of exhausting real-life events that stretched from the Great Depression, World War 2, Korea and even Rock N Roll.  Here they could find cheer and comfort in the middle of their struggles.  
  With it’s lovable cast, it’s recurring characters, appealing storylines and interludes of music, it was a world that the airwaves and audiences loved.

  In 2012, a deranged grad student dressed as the Joker shot and killed dozens of movie goers at a Batman film opening in Colorado. Gun violence is so out of control in America that it has become a cruel joke.
  Unlike most of Mickey Corrigan's novels, Project XX made itself known to her at that time, demanding to be written. Usually she researches, prepares, then writes. In this case, she wrote first, then did the research on gun violence, female violent crime, and school/mass shootings.
  Males are almost always the perpetrators of mass shootings. But females are fully capable of shocking acts of violence and, in the US, military-style weapons are as easy to access as a new hairstyle.
