Crashers (Hardcover)

By Dana Haynes

Haynes's compelling first thriller takes familiar elements—a mysterious airplane crash, a bent FBI agent, a deadly female spy—and mixes them with the world of National Transportation Safety Board aviation disaster investigations. When pathologist Leonard Tommy Tomzak, sees a TV report of a nearby jetliner crash, he rushes to the site via helicopter. As other NTSB personnel make their way to the crash scene from around the country, Tommy and his local crew secure the site. The forensic details fascinate but aren't for the weak of stomach. Haynes nicely integrates several subplots involving terrorism. The slam-bang crash landing of a conclusion will leave readers anxiously awaiting the promised sequel

Mentor (Paperback)

By Tom Grimes
$16.95

Meeting his writing idol in a chance situation, Grimes finds Frank Conroy quite unapproachable and somewhat aloof. Destroying his beloved copy of Conroy's book Stop Time, Grimes denounces Conroy only to be called by the idol himself several days later inviting him into the esteemed Iowa Writer's Workshop. Beside himself, Tom Grimes accepts and enters into a literary and academic world beyond his dreams. The Mentor leads the reader through two biographies illuminating the friendship between these two men. Insightful and quirky, the book unfolds beautifully and keeps you on your toes. After reading this book, I sought out more classics, and am eternally thankful for it.
