  From New York Times bestselling author Ben Mezrich, a fast-paced techno-thriller about a biological virus that spreads electronically. 
  In Boston, nine lawyers on a conference call suddenly convulse with pain, turn chalk white, and die. In Vermont, a young woman watching her favorite sitcom meets the same grisly fate, as does a group of sewer workers in Washington, D.C. Whatever has killed these people is spreading fast, and the task of eradicating it falls to young virologist Samantha Craig and paramedic Nick Barnes, whose brilliant surgical career was ruined by a crippling hand injury.  
  When Nick and Samantha discover that the virus, named Reaper, is spread through TVs and PCs, they realize that the information superhighway will become a killing field, with tens of millions dead, unless they can root Reaper out.   
  Their search employs a dazzling array of real-life wizardry, from Mylar body paint to Stealth helicopters to CIA-bred swarms of insects. At the core of Reaper’s madness, they find a suavely megalomaniacal, up-from-the-slums, high-tech billionaire, an icily ingenious hacker, and a high-powered cabal that will do anything to save the world from technology, even if that means annihilating the world.

  The Southside Restoration has been keeping Diana busy, but Jimmy knows it’s the phantoms in their past that are driving them apart. Jimmy agrees to act in a theatre production in an effort to draw closer, but a too-coincidental series of accidents won’t let his suspicions rest. Some more immediate phantom from their past is threatening more than their relationship – will Jimmy discover the threat in time? 
  “The Phantom” is a soft-boiled detective novella with some sci-fi and fantasy elements, sort of a The Rockford Files meets The Avengers (the old BBC series, not the superheroes.) It’s the tenth tale in the Detective Jimmy Delaney series.

  Inheritance of Crises and Dysfunctionis a novel that explores the immense challenges facing the next US Administration, both domestically and internationally, while seeking creative solutions and individuals ready to implement them. Beyond political matters, the story delves into personal struggles such as the lingering trauma of losing a spouse, the difficulty of relocating, the mixed feelings about retirement, and the psychological need to stay relevant and connected in one's later years. The narrative aims to provoke thought, but also to entertain, with a tone light enough to evoke a smile or occasional laughter. The book begins on the day of the 2021 presidential inauguration and is told through the perspective of the protagonist, "Salt Pepper," a former US Government employee and Washington law firm associate. It highlights the severe polarization and partisanship dividing both American society and the government, as well as the strained relationships between the US and other nations. Salt, thinking he has retired to his family farm in rural Virginia, is convinced by an old friend-soon to be Secretary of State in a new Administration-to take on a temporary covert diplomatic role. This assignment leads Salt and a capable female colleague on a journey to the White House, London, Berlin, Prague, and sensitive meetings with diplomats, including those from the Middle East. Rooted in history, current affairs, and human nature, the novel sheds light on the inheritance of international instability, domestic political toxicity, and the disruptive forces impacting small towns, rural America, and the manufacturing sector. It also emphasizes the global demand for US leadership and the pressing need for courageous leaders willing to tackle these challenges, no matter the risks or difficulties.
