  "Set in Italy and full of lush location details, The Midnight Rambler is an utterly masterful interweave of compelling characters, relentless action, and swift, unpredictable plot twists. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel from the first page to the last. Mark my words, Don Carr has everything it takes to become our next Robert Ludlum." -New York Times Best-Selling Author William Kent Kreuger 
  Often mocked as a "water cop," Environmental Protection Agency special agent Sophie Grant has faced countless dangerous situations while chasing criminal polluters, from boarding tankers at sea to Somali refugee camps. But when she is assigned to Italy's tourist-filled Amalfi Coast in pursuit of a toxic-waste-dumping cartel, the fearless female EPA agent finds herself in the crosshairs of legendary Camorra assassin Il Mezzanotte Ramingo-the Midnight Rambler-and is forced to do the most harrowing thing of all: ask her disgraced ex-cop father for help. 
  But like the deadly polluted water flowing below the sun-splashed Amalfi bedrock, nothing is as it appears. As this action-packed eco-thriller unfolds, it is revealed that the CIA aims to use her as bait. But Il Ramingo hasn't killed seemingly impossible-to-reach politicians, judges, and Camorra rivals for years without learning to sniff out a trap.

  Private eye Ivan Monk takes on his most personal mystery to date—and chases answers deep into America’s haunted past. 
   
  Long ago, Marshall Spears was a hero of the ballpark. In a time when baseball—and the nation—was segregated, he played in the vaunted Negro Leagues.  
   
  Decades later, Old Man Spears is living out his days as a fixture in a barbershop in South Central.  
   
  One afternoon, PI Ivan Monk—a shop regular—learns that Spears’s former teammate was Kennesaw Riles. From family lore, Monk knows Riles is his cousin who was ostracized for the damning testimony he gave during a controversial murder trial in the ’60s—testimony that put a firebrand civil rights leader behind bars. Before Monk can hear more, Old Man Spears drops dead while listening to a ballgame on the radio. Even stranger, the long missing Riles shows up at the Old Man’s funeral services, and dies soon after.  
   
  Monk knows the timing is not a coincidence. He follows the mystery to the Mississippi Delta. There, he unravels the truth behind the murder of two civil rights era activists. Eventually Monk zeroes in on a group of shadowy Mississippi businessmen-turned-philanthropists who may not have reformed their ways as they claim. Far from Los Angeles, the tenacious private eye confronts his own family history as well as a brand of hatred thought to have died with Jim Crow.

  Ice, Lies and Old Advice: Tales from Modern Russia 
  Why Ancient Wisdom Still Explains this vast country 
  Readers familiar with Quentin Drummond Anderson’s historical works — from Righteous Renegades to The Fearless Fifteen — will recognise a continuing theme in Ice, Lies and Old Advice: how people behave when systems harden and moral choices narrow. Here Anderson turns from battlefields to the quieter terrain of everyday life in modern Russia. 
  Co-written with Olga Pavlova, this collection of fifteen short stories is built around traditional Russian proverbs used not as folklore but as survival tools. Each story places an old saying in a modern setting, exploring what happens when inherited wisdom collides with ambition, technology, fear, and power. 
  The stories feel both literary and forensic. A disgraced financier fishes on Lake Baikal; an elderly woman in Murmansk succeeds through patient observation where algorithms fail. Characters pursue wealth, security, redemption, or relevance — and discover that the old advice they ignored understood the consequences better than they did. 
  The book avoids simple moral lessons. There are no heroes or villains — only individuals making difficult choices within systems that reward cynicism and punish naivety. 
  The prose is restrained and unsentimental. Anderson’s historical discipline combines with Pavlova’s contemporary insight to create an authentic portrait of post-Soviet life. 
  Together the fifteen stories portray a society shaped by memory, mistrust, endurance, and adaptation. Ice, Lies and Old Advice is a book about Russia — and unmistakably about human nature.
