Sinopsis

PEACE AND WAR, FRIEND AND FOE, LIFE AND DEATH… A PERILOUS JOURNEY HOME!
Fahimah Banaz has been wrongly held in a CIA "black site" for over five years. Now, as cases of unexplained deaths—marked by rapid decomposition—are cropping up across the U.S., Homeland Security is willing to bend any rule to find the source of the deadly infection, even if it means resurrecting a "dead" Iraqi biochemist. Fahimah's sister risked her life trying to destroy the super-microbe that causes the flesh-eating disease. Fahimah tried, too, but landed in prison.
Austyn Newman was sent to gain the cooperation of the scientist. Arriving in Afghanistan, he recognizes that the CIA has been holding the wrong sister all these years. They need her, but how will he gain her trust?
With time running out, Austyn must help Fahimah find her way through war-ravaged Iraq and Kurdistan…for salvation lies at the end of her journey home.
Includes Reading Group Discussion questions!

    Got five minutes? Well good, here’s what J.R. Ripley's amazing Five Minutes is all about…Todd Jones is a hotshot realtor in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He’s got a hot girlfriend, too. The trouble is that Todd is a real bad judge of character, especially his own. Todd’s got himself tangled up worse than an old fishing line balled up in that long forgotten tackle box in the garage. Let’s enumerate. One of Todd’s biggest clients is mad because the property Todd talked him into buying is underwater—literally. A screwy surfer dude with a recreational drug habit and a millionaire gun manufacturer for a father has got some not-so-friendly dealers on his tail. Todd’s mother has shown up and wants to live with him. And she’s brought her pet pig. And, oh, yeah, there’s this little problem Todd is having with one of his best friends, Dr. Doug Freeman. Todd has been sleeping with Doug’s wife. Okay, so maybe he shouldn’t have. He’d be the first to admit that it may have been an error in judgment on his part. He is a bad judge of character, remember? And that leads us to Todd Jones’ biggest problem. Dr. Doug has found out about Todd’s philandering and is aiming a pistol at Todd’s forehead even as we speak. Todd has five minutes to live. Maybe less if his girlfriend finds out about his cheating ways.

    They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
    But first, they give me their confessions. 
    My name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers - among other things. 
    Here's what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful. There's a catch, though: I want the real story, the one they haven't told anyone else. 
    The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head. 
    Now, maybe they're messing with yours too. 
    Inside this book are 5 confessions: 
    One thought she gave birth to the antichrist. 
    One has the nickname of The Candyman - any guesses why? 
    One grew up in a cult and believes he's the first of a 'pure' race. 
    Another was part of a secret government test, and I've been waiting for his confession for a while! 
    Then there's this kid who loved Halloween and believed in all the rules. I sure hope you didn't break any... 
    WARNING: There is swearing in this book. And some stories might be a trigger for something you have a hard time handling. But, these are the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers, and such, so what do you expect?

    Dylan Marchenko knows how routine can anchor a life—or unravel it. He’s a twenty-something Seattle produce driver haunted by a shadowed past: an age gap romance fraying at the edges, memories from Vietnam he keeps at bay, and a drifting sense that change is just another kind of trouble. 
    Then, on a nightbound run to Montana, a tragic accident in a dark parking garage leaves Dylan broken and forgotten—unrecognizable, nearly lost for good. Days pass in mechanical darkness before he’s found, alive but forever changed. 
    As Dylan fights back from injury and amnesia, watched over by a mother from the East Coast and a girlfriend ready to let go, his recovery becomes a journey of unexpected transformation. What emerges is a man rebuilt—affable, goofy, fiercely kind—learning to walk, speak, and love with brand new eyes. 
    Set against the luminous grit of Seattle’s neighborhoods and the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest, The Man Who Became Light is a story of hard-won redemption, the capacity for change, and the families we find or make anew. For anyone who’s wondered whether grace can arrive through tragedy, Dylan’s journey offers an unforgettable answer.

    Six schoolgirl friends form a club to investigate ghosts. Yet as they get pulled into the Knick-Knack Man mystery, and "this old man" appears when they summons him, one by one it claims their lives. Just like the rumor Jena first heard at school, and they researched during their sleepover, the internet legend proved true. But defying their vote, two of them experiment with it, and Jena is the first to be taken. Next, Kelsey gets abducted, and her little sister, Kinsley, will not let it go. Yet then, the third one—Taylor, is murdered also, and three remain to take on a new challenge: figure out how to stop this phantom's siege of terror and death. You won't want to miss what is about to emerge in the first book of this ghost hunting series, as an age-old nursery rhyme comes to life in a malevolent way: a secret that only the blackbirds seem to know, while the scarecrow stands and watches.

    When Rodney Hart is found dead and his prized turkeys on the loose just days before Brooke Ridge Falls' Thanksgiving festivities, Lexy Baker and her band of spirited senior sleuths are on the case. 
    While the turkeys are relishing their newfound freedom, Lexy, Nans and the gang are busy nosing around town to figure out who had a motive to kill Rodney. 
    From the town hall employee in charge of the annual Thanksgiving feast who has something to hide, to the competing farmer who wanted everyone to switch to ham to a very angry animal rights activist, Lexy and the ladies don’t know who has the most compelling motive. 
    In order to narrow the list, Lexy and the team come up with an ingenious plan to lure the killer into a trap. The only question is... will it backfire?
