It is the autumn of 1938 when Julia Kaufmann meets Erich Schmidt while studying medicine at the German University in Prague. With Hitler's army soon to invade the city and the terror of World War II looming, it is the worst of times for a Jew and a German to fall in love. As the excitement of the eugenics movement gives way to outright genocide, and the fear sweeping across Europe grows into madness, Julia and Erich find themselves forced to travel two very different paths--ones which will determine the fate of their love and, ultimately, the fate of their souls. A Perfect Madness takes us on a journey back to a dark time when the fight for survival often eclipsed the fight for the truth. Beautifully and provocatively written, it examines the crippling effects of fear on the human mind, asking painful questions of moral choice we cannot afford to leave unanswered. About the Author: Frank Marsh was a trial attorney for twenty-five years and then a university professor of philosophy, law, and bioethics. He has published six books on bioethics, numerous articles, and scripted documentaries dealing with medicine, genetics, and law. He also is the author of the novel Rebekka's Children.

More than two years separated a pair of brothers born in the upheaval of Prohibition, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, and WWII. Greater than those to this duo, was one Leticia Fleur Willard. A rich, femme fatal whose beauty shamed Veronica Lake, coupled to a depravity unmatched by Delilah. Tall, blonde, built, spoiled, shameless, and self-centered, "Letty" got what Letty wanted. At first, that happened to be the best player on Tulane's football squad in the early 1930s. But when Jedidiah Medders decided to become an adult after his tour of duty as the big man on campus, Leticia grew only more childish with age. She simply wasn't interested in growing up, and particularly in growing old. Her goal was to remain being eighteen forever, squashing anything or anyone that stood in her way. Neither marriage, nor the opulence of wealth, nor even the birth of a child grounded her fanciful flight through life. However, the laughs became harder to find, the thrills ever more dependent on chemical substances, and the list of people trampled in her quest elongated daily. This would include a second son, and Jedidiah's younger brother, Jaron. After WWII, Jedidiah attempted to hide from the memories of conflict in Europe, and a wife's betrayal by living in the coastal marshes of Louisiana. Past employment with his former in-laws afforded the option. But seemingly no amount of drinking, chasing skirts, barroom brawls, catching fish, or shooting ducks could purge his gut of one Leticia Fleur Willard Medders. Unfortunately for Jaron, neither could he.

A visiting dignitary in London asks for security—and gets extra help from a clever feline—in a novel starring “the nonpareil among criminal investigators” (The New York Times). Superintendent Alleyn’s old school chum, nicknamed the “Boomer,” has become the president of the newly emerged African nation of Ng’ombwana, newly emerged in the wake of colonialism. Old school ties being what they are, his friend—making an official visit to London—insists that Alleyn handle his security, rather than Her Majesty’s Special Branch. The Special Branch is not best pleased about this, as the Boomer is known to have some very deadly enemies, and the threats only increase when the Ng’ombwanan ambassador is killed. Happily for the Boomer, not only is Alleyn up to the task, but he is assisted by a rescued cat who proves extremely adept at finding clues . . . “The brilliant Ngaio Marsh ranks with Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers.” —Times Literary Supplement

During those cold and blustery fall days when most folks remain sanely and snugly indoors, a crazed, camouflaged contingent of comrades are out and about in the soggy wetlands--call them waterfowl hunters. Theirs is a world of wet dogs, dripping noses, frozen fingers, jammed shotguns, and (sometimes) the miracle of ducks and geese alighting in their decoys. And they call this fun. Marsh Madness is a hilarious cartoon tribute to these self-deprecating hunters who will see themselves and their friends in each page of this insightful book from bestselling cartoonist Bruce Cochran.

But when a dead body turns up at the Gatortorium, the island's newest attraction, and Mary Mar goes missing, the cousins once again don their sleuthing caps.
