DOWNLOAD EBOOK →I think I had the perfect life. I was married to an amazing man, had two beautiful children, and lived in a three-story home with a million-dollar view. That all changed in three days. While waiting for my husband to come home for date night, I finished two bottles of Cabernet and watched a man fall to his death. Actually, I'm not sure what I saw because of the wine. But the following day, the news reported that Errol Tiller, someone I sort of knew, had fallen from his penthouse suite. It's a troubling sight if that's what I witnessed. While Errol's death saddened me, I tried to move on. But that didn't happen because I learned my family and friends had shocking connections to Errol. To make matters worse, the police have questions about what I may or may not have seen. Did I see something more than Errol falling? I wish I could answer that question, but I drank a lot of wine that night. The View from Nob Hill is a gripping read that will have you guessing from beginning to end. If you're a fan of Frieda McFadden and Shari Lapena, you'll love this page-turning thriller.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The year is 1880, the place San Francisco. Intelligent, outspoken Sarah Woolson is a young woman with a goal and the fortitude to achieve it. She has always dreamed of becoming a lawyer. The trouble is, everyone believes women belong in the home---that it is not only unnatural, but against God's will for them to seek a career. When Sarah finagles an interview with one of the city's most prestigious law firms, no one thinks she has a prayer of being hired. Except Sarah. Using her brains and a little subterfuge, she not only manages to become the firm's newest (and only female) associate attorney, she also acquires her first client---a lovely young society matron suspected of brutally stabbing to death her wealthy but abusive husband. Sarah is sure of her client's innocence, but the revelation of the woman's secret lover may make that innocence impossible to prove. When four more victims fall prey to the killer's knife, Sarah fears she has bitten off more than she can chew. Bucking her boorish employer and the judicial system, Sarah finds herself embroiled in shady legal maneuvers, a daring Chinatown raid, and a secret and very scandalous sex club in this irresistible blend of history, romance, and murder.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Thaddeus S. Kenderdine made his way from Philadelphia to Michigan in 1858, staying only a month before he determined to head west. He remained in California for only a year, returning to New York in 1859. This visit is described in A California tramp (1888). California revisited (1898) recounts his second trip to California after an absence of forty years, an 1897 rail trip to a Christian Endeavor meeting in San Francisco with a stop in Salt Lake City. He contrasts his two journeys west as well as the changes in San Francisco and its neighborhood. He also visits Monterey, San José, Los Angeles, Pasadena, and San Pedro; as well as the missions at San Fernando, Santa Barbara, San Juan Capistrano, and San Miguel. His stay in San Francisco coincides with beginning of Klondike gold fever and he revisits old mining camps in the Sacramento Valley before returning via the northern route with a stopover at Yellowstone Park.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →More than a neighborhood, San Francisco's Nob Hill encapsulates some of the major elements of the city's history. Early European settlers' cattle grazed on the windy hill, and with the Gold Rush of 1849, it became a lookout point as ships arrived daily, bringing thousands to San Francisco. Within the next 40 years, the moguls of the Central Pacific Railroad, along with other magnates, built spectacular residences atop Nob Hill, which became a focal point of San Francisco. Today Nob Hill is home to elegant hotels, a cathedral, and a variety of residents. It remains a center of activity in a legendary city.

Two years ago Ben Anderson woke up in a rundown motel, three thousand miles from home, his family missing, and the words LET THE GAME BEGIN written in blood on the back of the bathroom door. Two years ago, everything changed. Not just for Ben and his family, who he believed was lost forever, but for those who had orchestrated the whole ordeal and who had stuck Ben in a game he was never supposed to win. Ben vowed he would never play the game again. But now, after learning a startling truth, Ben has no choice but to once again play the game. He wakes up in a rundown motel — a very familiar rundown motel — with the words LET THE GAME CONTINUE on the back of the bathroom door. Caesar and his people are expecting a good show. And Ben’s about to give them one. Because every game must end, and Ben will be the one to end this game ... or die trying.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Before Lanford Wilson became a Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright, with such celebrated productions as The Hot l Baltimore, Fifth of July, Talley’s Folly, and Burn This, he wrote dozens of short stories and poems, many of which take place in the 1950s, small-town Missouri where he grew up. This selection of Wilson’s early work, written between 1955 and 1967 when he was between the ages of 18 and 30, provides a rare look at a young writer developing his style. The stories explore many of the themes Wilson later took up in the theater, such as sexual identity and the rupture of societies and families. These never-before-published works—part of the manuscript collection donated by Wilson to the University of Missouri—shed light on the roots of some of America’s best-loved plays and are accomplished and evocative works in their own right.
