Treason: A Novel (The Major Brooke Grant Series #2)
by Newt Gingrich Pete EarleyLeading politician and bestselling author Newt Gingrich and novelist Pete Earley are back with another gripping international thriller. THE WORLD'S MASTER TERRORIST, known only as the Falcon, has infiltrated Washington's highest corridors of power, threatening the very existence of our democracy in this realistic tale of modern day TREASON. Major Brooke Grant has been waging war against terrorism since her parents were murdered during 9/11, keenly aware that her enemy transcends borders. But a coordinated attack on the president at the funeral of a Washington power broker leads her to a terrifying revelation: the enemy is closer than she'd ever imagined and is hiding in plain sight. The Falcon has gained a weapon no terrorist has ever wielded before: an American-born traitor burrowed inside the U.S. government itself. TREASON is a story of a nation fighting for its life not only against outside threats but also against an internal threat-a fanatical jihadist who uses liberty as a shield while trying to destroy the civilization created in its image. Major Grant's deadly chess match with the Falcon turns personal when he issues a fatwa against her and those she loves. Can she unmask the traitor and stop the Falcon's most skilled assassin sent to kill her before he strikes? Or will she fall victim to betrayal by a false friend in this gripping tale of treachery, courage, and ultimately patriotism where good battles evil? Only Newt Gingrich, who brings decades of experience in national security and politics to bear in his collaboration with journalist Pete Earley, can spin such a vivid mix of reality and fiction, daring readers to guess where the line between the two is crossed.

Treasure for Treasure
by Justin ScottA partly-constructed tunnel under the East River is not the place one would expect to be the scene of world-shattering events, fame, fortune, lights, camera ... ACTION. Dick Creegan, sandhog, didn't expect to find it there either. Until he took a look at some funny looking rocks. He should have looked the other way because those "rocks" were the beginning of: --a conspiracy of sandhogs against the combined forces of the government of the City of New York --a dazzling debut of amateur crooks and unexpected new careers --a race between a tugboat and a Volkswagen --the heisting of a smuggled treasure which is in turn moved away by ship, covered by blacktop, uncovered, re-heisted and ... invested. In Treasure for Treasure, Justin Scott has given us another wildly funny story of what happens when the Devil whispers into the ears of good, ordinary New York citizens-- in this case Dick Creegan and bulky friends, his girl Jeannie with her acting career and her incredibly large animal companion, Howard, and some of the many and fatal friends pursuing them after they strike their own waterlogged Treasure of the Sierra Madre. This is a story of love, courage, true grit and incredible bumbling. Once again, readers across the country will find confirmation of what they so ardently believe -- that in New York the Devil is only as far away as the nearest subway.
