But he’s gained a gun.   His well-off brother lives in New York—far from Denver, but the only place he might find a reliable roof over his head and any hope of starting over.

An elderly doctor stands before a room of students in a lecture hall. What unfolds is a story of courage, brutality, and survival. 
When Dr. Gisella Perl is deported to Auschwitz, her medical training becomes the only thing that can keep her alive.

Every day, she must make impossible choices, using her skills to save the women the camp has marked for death. 
As she endures hunger, violence, and the loss of everyone she loves, Gisella refuses to surrender the one thing the Nazis cannot take from her: her duty to protect life. In the shadows of the infirmary, she becomes a quiet force of resistance, risking her life to shield others from the fate worse than death . . .  
Inspired by a true event, The Angel of Auschwitz is a powerful and deeply human novel about survival, sacrifice, and a doctor who fought back in the only way she could. Perfect for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka’s Journey and The Sisters of Auschwitz.

The Laughing Dog - A Bryce...

Dwayne Clayden

Bryce Pedley is a 40s-era PI in modern day Latham, New York, complete with a fedora, a double-breasted suit, a shoulder harness, and a revolver. Where cops fail, he succeeds-and the cops take all the credit. 
In The Laughing Dog, Samuel Cohen hires Pedley in a bar to find a rare book collection the Nazis stole in 1939. Locate rare books? Easy. 
Except Pedley's not the only one searching for the books. Wilhelm Hoffmann, of Nazi ancestry, has already purchased several books from the lost collection and has no intention of stopping. After Pedley is beaten, abducted, and left to die, he realizes little of this is about rare books.  
A stack of old WWII letters lead Pedley to a British Lieutenant and his driver who were in Bavaria in 1945 and to the greatest discovery of post-WWII. Confident he has the mystery figured out, the search leads Pedley to the basement of a house that hasn't been unoccupied for more than eight years.  
Expectations are high.... but nothing is as he expected.

Five Hundred Carats - An...

George Griffiths

George Chetwynd Griffith-Jones was born on 20th August, 1857, in Plymouth, South-West England to a clergyman father who was frequently moved to different parishes.

Although Griffith did briefly attend school there were only limited funds to provide a formal education for him and his elder brother. Consequently, they were primarily home schooled with their father teaching them Latin and Greek and their mother, French. There was also an extensive family library which Griffith devoured.

At 15 he joined a ship as an apprentice but deserted when it arrived in Australia to travel around for 4 years before working his passage back to England.

He settled in Sussex, to teach English at a prep school and studied at night to gain formal qualifications. After a further year of study at a German university he taught in Brighton but now his passion for writing also led him to journalism. He contributed to various pamphlets, newspaper and periodicals, writing on secularism and socialism as well as travelogues, volumes of poetry and, of course, short stories. His vivid writing style and knack for storytelling paved the way for his success as a novelist.

In 1893, Griffith published his first novel, ‘The Angel of the Revolution’, an instant success of dystopia featuring advanced aerial warfare and anarchist revolutionaries. Griffith's output of over a dozen novels and numerous short stories influenced later science fiction writers and left a lasting legacy in place. He also wrote romance, adventure and supernatural stories.

His writing was not always successful, and he often faced personal and financial difficulties.

George Griffith died at his home in Port Erin, Isle of Man of cirrhosis of the liver on 10th June, 1906. He was 48.
