The Bell-Tower

Herman Melville

"The Bell-Tower," published in 1856, is the story of an eccentric architect named Bannadonna and his quest to build a magnificent bell-tower. As building progresses, local townspeople begin to hear of mysterious occurrences in the tower, leading to a suspenseful conclusion.
 
Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 – September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist and poet, whose work is often classified as part of the genre of dark romanticism. He is best known for his novel Moby Dick and novella Billy Budd, the latter of which was published posthumously.  After a fast-blooming literary success in the late 1840s, his popularity declined precipitously in the mid-1850s and never recovered during his lifetime. When he died in 1891, he was almost completely forgotten. It was not until the "Melville Revival" in the early 20th century that his work won recognition, most notably Moby Dick which was hailed as one of the chief literary masterpieces of both American and world literature.

Cross Current

Christine Kling

She never expected to tow anything other than broken-down boats back from the sea.
But when Fort Lauderdale salvage tug captain Seychelle Sullivan spots a barely-awash wooden dory in the Gulf Stream with a young Haitian girl clinging to it, Seychelle's salvage job becomes a race against time to save a life.
Solange. Ten years old. Haitian. Half-starved, her small white dress stained rust-brown. Clinging to a bow post next to the bloated body of a woman who didn't make it.
Navigating Haitian Voodoo, the politics of immigration, and a threat she doesn't fully understand, Seychelle discovers that some salvage jobs require more than a towline and a bilge pump. Some wrecks are people. And some people are worth the risk.
Cross Current is the second book in the Seychelle Sullivan series. If you enjoyed the gritty mysteries of Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon series, the colorful characters of Carl Hiaasen's South Florida tales, or the atmospheric settings of Dana Stabenow's novels, then you won't want to miss Cross Current.
