Freedom 56

Stephane Simard

Summary

Financial independence is a dream for many, and some people will do anything to achieve it. 


Freedom 56 is a thriller inspired by the author’s entrepreneurial journey, which includes thirty years of experience in the business world. 


“Surprising and unpredictable.” 


“Sometimes humorous, sometimes sarcastic.” 


“An excellent finish!” 


Marc Paradis is the leading expert in corporate finance and M&A in Montreal. Despite this enviable reputation, the 55-year-old is disappointed. His personal financial situation and his love life are failures compared to his brother Christophe, a Don Juan who seems to succeed at everything. 


A meeting between the two men and the speaker Kim Roy, the so-called ‘Queen of Financial Independence,’ will trigger a series of events with dramatic consequences. 


Despite his impeccable ethics, Marc will find himself plunged into the heart of a scheme led by unscrupulous people willing to do anything to achieve their goals. The rather conservative businessman will need to take huge risks to protect the most precious person in the world, his daughter. 


What if the path to financial freedom is paved with bad intentions?

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews
