Sinossi

In "Holiday Tales: Christmas in the Adirondacks," W. H. H. Murray weaves a tapestry of stories that reflect the warmth and beauty of Christmas in the rustic wilderness of the Adirondack Mountains. Combining vivid descriptions with heartfelt narratives, Murray encapsulates the spirit of the holiday season through the lens of nature. His literary style is infused with a sense of nostalgia and romanticism that harkens back to the 19th-century American literary tradition, inviting readers to immerse themselves in a world of adventure, community, and the serene allure of winter. This collection not only entertains but also serves as a reminder of the enduring values of family, friendship, and the joys of simple living amidst the backdrop of the majestic New York landscape. W. H. H. Murray, a prominent figure in 19th-century American literature, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a naturalist and a passionate advocate for the preservation of wild spaces. His writings often reflect his love for the outdoors and the transformative power of nature. Through his narratives, Murray aimed to inspire others to value and protect the natural world, making "Holiday Tales" a significant thematic extension of his environmental ethos. I highly recommend "Holiday Tales: Christmas in the Adirondacks" to anyone seeking a blend of heartwarming storytelling and evocative imagery. Whether you are a lover of nature, a holiday enthusiast, or simply in search of engaging tales that offer a glimpse into the past, Murray's work provides a delightful and enriching experience that captures the essence of Christmas in a bygone era.

With the clock ticking on the next mysterious Guild Master murder, Lienna and I have to find a way to prove Agent Söze is behind it all. We need rock-solid evidence to bring him down, which is kind of tricky when crooked agents, shady allies, and cutthroat assassins keep complicating matters. 
 
 
 
And if we don't get to the bottom of it fast, my next day off will be in the morgue as another corpse to be swept under the corruption rug.

Walking Back the Cat

Robert Littell

A mesmerizing espionage thriller from the bestselling author of The Company 
 
 
 
Robert Littell has made a name for himself as one of the foremost authors of literary spy thrillers. Here, Littell abandons his usual East European milieu to focus on New Mexico, where a Sovietera KGB agent, code-named Parsifal, has been living under deep cover. Reactivated by a new controller for some particularly brutal "wetwork"—murder—Parsifal's suspicions are aroused. Fearing a double-cross, he begins, in espionage lingo, "walking back the cat"—retracing the operation to find the source of the deception. His manhunt leads him to an Apache-run casino where he crosses paths with CIA operatives, Apaches, and Finn, a disillusioned Gulf War vet with his own investigation to pursue.
