  A Grunt level view of Congressman Charlie Wilson’s war in Afghanistan.  
   When the Soviet Union invades Afghanistan, the United States launches a covert campaign to arm the Mujahideen and bleed Moscow to the point of financial collapse. Operation Cyclone, massively expanded under Ronald Reagan’s CIA beginning in 1982, was designed to help the Afghan freedom fighters combat the Russian invasion of their country.  
   As Charlie Wilson and CIA task force chief, Gust Avrakotos, drive the political engine behind Operation Cyclone, Rick Fontain is brought in for the technical fight. A former military operator now working at Bell Labs, Fontain has the one skill set the mission cannot afford to do without: deep knowledge of shoulder-fired missile technology, the STINGER. And he has the 411 on the Soviet aircraft it was built to kill. Reunited with his Redeye instructor Andy Davis, he is tasked with helping turn a covert concept into a battlefield reality.  
   But the road to victory runs through assassins, KGB counterattacks, Pakistan’s ISI, American Special Forces trainers, and the deadly proving grounds of Afghanistan itself. When the order comes to get the missiles into the hands of the Mujahideen, Fontain is pushed into a war where failure means more than a lost mission—it means handing the Soviets control of the sky and the future of the citizens of Afghanistan.  
   From Ojhri Camp to the Soviet airbase at Bagram, Stinger: Operation Cyclone is a fast-moving Cold War military thriller packed with covert action, authentic weapons detail, geopolitical stakes, and the kind of ground-level realism that puts readers inside Charlie Wilson’s War from the operator’s ground level view.

  Hidden secrets lead to deadly lies... 
  Following the incident that brought justice to her parents’ killers but ended her career, former FBI Special Agent Rebecca West needs a fresh start. Hoping to find peace, she decides to spend a few months in the sleepy beach town of Shadow Island, where she spent idyllic summers as a kid. 
  However, her vacation is cut short when a seventeen-year-old goes missing with no leads or clues. When the girl’s body is found in a nearby marsh with strangulation marks around her neck, Rebecca can’t say no when the overworked sheriff asks her to help investigate. 
  Rebecca’s gut tells her that on the small island, the murder hadn’t been a chance encounter. But who would want the likable teen in a seemingly sweet and innocent relationship with her boyfriend dead? And why? 
  Rebecca soon discovers something bigger is going on around Shadow Island, something involving an enigmatic Yacht Club that no one will talk about...but that just might hold the keys to solving the girl’s murder. But who are they willing to kill to keep their secrets buried? 
  From its enigmatic beginning to the twisted ending you won’t see coming, Shadow’s Secret—the first book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—is a stark reminder that two people can keep a secret...if one of them dies.

  The Great War's secret side: a young American in the Intelligence service, a coded map, a Bolshevik agent, and a fortress in the Vosges. Chambers trained as an artist in Paris before turning to fiction, and The King in Yellow made him a name that Lovecraft would later borrow from; this 1919 thriller is the commercial Chambers, written fast and moving fast, with the war still in the room. Sixty plates of wartime painting, from Orpen's dead German in a trench to Munch's card players, run through the book like the war that will not stay outside the room.
