All in Jest: Renowned Neurosurgeon in the Fight of Her Life
by Carl Douglass"It is really quite simple," the renowned French Canadian expert on pituitary surgery began his answer. Neurosurgeon defendant Sybil Norcroft, M.D., F.A.C.S., PhD steeled herself to hear the description that could possibly spell the end of her rising career. Even a glance at the imperturbable face of her defense attorney failed to convey any calm to the roiling tempest in the surgeon's brain. Plaintiff's Attorney Paul Bel Geddes was the attack dog who declared a jihad against Dr. Norcroft in the Brendan McNeely malpractice case and hounded her then and afterward to the point of distraction. The case seared Sybil's soul because she had her own doubts about how and why the handsome young scion of the wealthiest family in the city had bled to death on her operating table. Bel Geddes could not let the animosity that was engendered by the McNeely case go, and he relentlessly pursued the famous woman neurosurgeon in a personal crusade. After years of harassment, Sybil Norcroft had had enough, and she applied her brilliant mind and her considerable resources to ending the war declared against her. The war was a classic example of uncivil justice both in and out of the courtroom. How the JEST comes about is worth the reading. The book is full of fun, humor, anger, fear, pathos, intense emotional conflict, and tense and riveting courtroom drama. There is a considerable amount of theater outside the courts as well. You will want to read it in one sitting and to pass it along to your family and friends the next day.

Génesis Montesinos es profesor de literatura en una universidad mexicana. Tiene 64 años de edad, es especialista en Francis Scott Fitzgerald y aficionado a Frank Sinatra. Ha dedicado su vida adulta al culto a los libros y a la corte de la academia. Su plan de carrera se ha cumplido: tiene un doctorado y un cubículo. También, un hastío absoluto. Por ello, decide viajar a Las Vegas y apostarlo todo. Y terminar con su insípida vida. No obstante, jugando al póquer, Génesis Montesinos gana cincuenta y tres mil dólares. Sin saber qué hacer con esta pequeña fortuna, comienza a despilfarrarla en blandos excesos: ropa, discos, alcohol, una sesión en un campo de tiro, un teléfono inteligente, pancakes y tocino. Calorías para el alma. Sus planes de suicidio se van desdibujando. Además, conoce a Lea, y él mismo empieza a sentirse borroso y vivo. Sin embargo, sobre las mesas de póquer de Las Vegas se juega mucho más que sumas millonarias. Los dueños del mundo apuestan vidas y cierran negocios transnacionales. Y el azar, o el destino, pondrá al profesor de literatura en el corazón de estas tinieblas. Así, en la tierra de los libres, podrá perder la libertad más alta: la posibilidad de elegir el momento y modo de su propia muerte.

All Involved
by Ryan GattisA propulsive and ambitious novel as electrifying as The Wire, from a writer hailed as the West Coast's Richard Price--a mesmerizing epic of crime and opportunity, race, revenge, and loyalty, set in the chaotic streets of South Central L.A. in the wake of one of the most notorious and incendiary trials of the 1990s. <p> At 3:15 p.m. on April 29, 1992, a jury acquitted three white Los Angeles Police Department officers charged with using excessive force to subdue a black man named Rodney King, and failed to reach a verdict on the same charges involving a fourth officer. Less than two hours later, the city exploded in violence that lasted six days. In nearly 121 hours, fifty-three lives were lost. But there were even more deaths unaccounted for: violence that occurred outside of active rioting sites by those who used the chaos to viciously settle old scores.A gritty and cinematic work of fiction, All Involved vividly re-creates this turbulent and terrifying time, set in a sliver of Los Angeles largely ignored by the media during the riots. Ryan Gattis tells seventeen interconnected first-person narratives that paint a portrait of modern America itself--laying bare our history, our prejudices, and our complexities. With characters that capture the voices of gang members, firefighters, graffiti kids, and nurses caught up in these extraordinary circumstances, All Involved is a literary tour de force that catapults this edgy writer into the ranks of such legendary talents as Dennis Lehane and George V. Higgins. <p> <b>Winner of the 2016 Alex Award (10 best adult books that appeal to teen audiences)</b>

by Hilary MacLeodA family of outsiders arrives in a tiny Canadian fishing village, and murder soon follows, in this witty, fast-paced mystery. It&’s Christmas at The Shores. There&’s no snow yet, but there are so many outdoor lights that the tiny coastal village can be seen from space. Apart from Ian Simmons&’ place (and he was from away), there was only one house that wasn&’t lit up. It had been dark for years. That was about to change. Wild Rose Cottage was about to come to life, and death, once again. Meanwhile, the villagers wished for snow to complete the Christmas portrait. When it came, they would regret it. With the snow comes the body of newcomer Fitz Fitzpatrick, a former acrobat turned bully and drunk. Mountie Jane Jamieson has seen murder here before, but none where she&’d rather not catch the killer. She has to decide whether Fitz fell during a flip—or was pushed, so that his chain became tangled in a tree limb. Either is possible. But though Jamieson&’s doing a lot of questioning, no one&’s talking . . . &“A natural storyteller, superbly equipped both by her character and experience to fashion stories of the lives of everyday people who make their living from the sea.&” —Ottawa Review of Books
