Book Description:
0425125467 From Publishers Weekly When a mother and her newborn infant die from the anesthetic he has administered, Boston anesthesiologist Dr. Jeffrey Rhodes's life turns into a shambles. Within months he has been financially destroyed in a malpractice suit and convicted of second-degree murder, with a prison term likely. Panicked, he flees and, in desperation, turns to Kelly Everson, the widow of an old friend who committed suicide following a similar tragedy. They discover that both incidents--and others as well--may not have been cases of physician error but rather deliberate murders. The villain, known to the reader early on, is finally uncovered by the duo, whose efforts are complicated by the unrelenting pursuit of Rhodes by a bounty hunter who has been hired by the bail bondsman who stands to lose a small fortune if the convict is not returned to custody. Through two-thirds of its length, this is a fast-paced, albeit improbable, story of the havoc that can be wreaked by a lone madman. Then a sudden twist brings in a new set of villains and reveals an evil conspiracy that snaps belief. Cook, whose medical thrillers invariably land on the bestseller lists, may be asking more credulity than many readers are willing, or able, to provide this time out. Literary Guild alternate. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Review The best-selling ophthalmologist's tenth thriller - and his first since the fluky Sphinx (1979) to feature a villain who's not a fiendish M.D. This time, it's lawyers - malpractice lawyers particularly - who have got Cook hot under the stethoscope and have ruined the life of his new hero, Boston anesthesiologist Jeffrey Rhodes. Before chewing on lawyers, though, Cook flaunts his mastery of medical grand guignol by opening with an operating-room shocker, as birthing mom Kathy Owen and her newborn die in spasms under Jeffrey's anesthesia. Months later, Jeffrey, already found guilty of malpractice - courtesy of a greedy attorney - is found guilty of killing Kathy Owen. Jeffrey puts up his house as bail collateral and, panicking, tries to flee the country - only to be snared at the airport by burly Devlin O'Shay, a bounty hunter sicked onto Jeffrey's trail by the bailbondsman. Jeffrey escapes, running to Kelly Everson, whose husband had committed suicide when found guilty of malpractice; learning from her of uncanny parallels between her husband's case and his, Jeffrey begins to wonder: Was foul play afoot in the O.R. the night Kathy Owen died? Yes, indeed, as Cook shows via crosscut scenes of loony male nurse Trent Harding setting up two more murders: a doc-hater, Trent's been lashing out at M.D.s by adding a rare toxin to anesthesiology supplies around Boston. Playing a suspenseful cat-and-mouse game with bounty-hunter Devlin, and taking a job incognito as a hospital orderly, Jeffrey, sidekicked by Kelly, investigates and at last confronts Trent - only to see the killer shot by mob hit-men. What gives? A conspiracy of lawyers, that's what, bankrolling Trent's nasty hobby in order to cash in on the resultant malpractice suits: a conspiracy that finally leads to a crisp and exciting climax set in a Martha's Vineyard cemetery. Again, Cook manages to transmute leaden prose ("Unfortunately, the faster of the two men was gaining considerably" is a typical chase-sequence sentence) into thriller gold plate through nonstop action, endearing heroes, nifty medical detail, and a charmingly outrageous plot. In short: Cook near his slap-happy best. (Kirkus Reviews) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



Blauner, Peter

Man of the Hour
 Warner Books, Inc. 20000301. book GuthrieBooks.com Spring Branch, TX, U.S.A. 52069477 5 1.69
Book Description:
0446605417 Amazon Review David Fitzgerald is a 40-year-old English teacher with the rare ability to reach at least some of his students at a poor high school in Coney Island. But one who he can't reach is Nasser Hamdy, a Palestinian boy so scarred by hate that he joins with terrorists to plant a bomb in a school bus. A combination of accident and courage turns Fitzgerald into a media hero when he keeps most of his class from boarding the bus and then risks his life to rescue a pregnant teenager who got on early. But circumstantial factors quickly turn the tide and make Fitzgerald a prime suspect in the bombing. He is savaged by the system but never officially accused. Blauner does everything well, from creating compelling scenes of urban terror, to making us believe in Fitzgerald as a gifted teacher, loving father, and exhausted husband. Blauner's background as a journalist also makes the media reaction within the story instantly credible--humanizing at least one member of the ravening media rat pack. Catch Blauner's two previous thrillers: Slow Motion Riot and The Intruder, both available in paperback. --Dick Adler --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Publishers Weekly Thorough reportage and dead-on description make Blauner's latest city-streets novel (after 1997's paperback bestseller The Intruder) as impressive for its realism as for its suspense. David Fitzgerald is a slang-talking, highly literate 40-year-old English teacher who tolerates the frustrations of working at dilapidated Coney Island High School for the sake of students like bright, conflicted Palestinian Elizabeth Hamdy. Elizabeth's older brother, Nasser, was also once in Fitzgerald's class. Unreachable and full of hatred for America and Israel, he has joined a terrorist group that practices jihad, believing that even robbing a convenience store or killing a child is sanctioned by God's will. When Nasser and his fellow terrorists plant a bomb in a school bus, Fitzgerald becomes an accidental hero by preventing most of his class from entering the vehicle and then risking his life to rescue a pregnant teenager who is already on board. Circumstantial factors, however, soon reverse Fitzgerald's image and he becomes a prime suspect in the bombing, savaged by the system but never officially accused. Dysfunctional urban settings inhabited by uneasy, suspicious immigrants create a backdrop to Fitzgerald's personal drama: a marriage to a mentally unstable actress, and a deep fear that his contact with his son will be terminated. Blauner, a former journalist, writes about the media with the jaded authority of an insider. His novel looks unflinchingly at the aspects of contemporary American life that make morality a transient, relative principle. Agent, Richard Pine. 175,000 first printing; $250,000 ad/promo.

Patterson, James; Jonge, Peter De

The Beach House
 Grand Central Publishing 20030601. book GuthrieBooks.com Spring Branch, TX, U.S.A. 52069477 5 JAMES PATTERSON, SUSPENSE, FICTION, STAND ALONE THRILLER, BOOKS - MURDER, BEACH HOUSE, ADVENTURE MYSTERY, AUDIO BOOK, BAD Fiction|Mystery & Detective|General 1.69
Book Description:
0446612545 Amazon Review James Patterson and Peter de Jonge's The Beach House opens with the death of a handsome townie on Memorial Day weekend in the Hamptons, where being a single-digit millionaire is laughable and being poor is unthinkable. Peter Mullen is a high school dropout who parks cars at the private bashes of the superwealthy Barry and Campion Neubauer. When Peter is found dead on the beach, the Neubauers and their friends insist that he drowned, but his brother Jack, a law student who saw Peter's body, knows he was beaten to death. As Jack uncovers evidence of his brother's secret life, he begins to realize that the very rich are indeed different from the rest of us. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and Jack's patiently plotted payback for Peter's death is one that the Hamptons will not soon forget. There are no big surprises in The Beach House, but it's vintage Patterson, with plenty of action, villains with hearts blacker than obsidian, and a working-class hero who pulls himself up by the bootstraps. Patterson and de Jonge previously coauthored the inspirational golf romance Miracle on the 17th Green, but this new game of money, mayhem, and murder clearly suits them to a tee. --Barrie Trinkle --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Publishers Weekly atterson's second coauthored novel of the year (after the current bestseller 2nd Chance, written with Andrew Gross) is a relatively rare stand-alone for this immensely popular writer. Unlike some of Patterson's stand-alones, however, including the most recent, Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas, this doesn't move Patterson into new territory: it's a slick, vastly enjoyable yet far-fetched thriller i.e., typical Patterson. Its hero is a Columbia University law student, Jack Mullen, who's out to avenge the death of his younger brother, Peter, found dead on the Amagansett, L.I., property of the immensely wealthy Neubauer family, a few miles from Jack and Peter's Montauk home. The cops say Peter drowned; a glance at the corpse tells Jack that his brother was beaten to death. The rest of the novel traces Jack's efforts, with the help of a female private eye/love interest, plus his elderly grandfather and a band of Montauk locals, to prove that Peter was murdered and that billionaire Barry Neubauer played a role in his demise. Arrayed against Jack are a tough cop, high-placed lawyers and a sadistic killer all owned by Neubauer money. Jack's diggings lead to evidence not only of Peter's murder but of its part in a coverup involving sexual scandal and blackmail; to get the justice that's denied them, Jack and his friends take the law into their own hands, kidnapping Neubauer and his cohorts and trying them in a kangaroo court whose proceedings they broadcast on TV. Smooth as a vanilla milk shake and no more sophisticated, written in 113 short chapters that won't tax anyone's attention span, this is smart, market-savvy, populist entertainment.

Book Description:
0671799045 From Publishers Weekly Old age and death catch up with characters familiar to readers since from Terms of Endearment in this often tedious sequel, a two-week PW bestseller and a Literary Guild/Doubleday Book Club featured alternate in cloth. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal McMurtry's latest novel picks up Aurora Greenway's life 17 years after her exploits in Terms of Endearment . Now in her mid-60s, Aurora still manages to both enchant and infuriate with her queenly world view and unswerving tastes, including a perpetual quest for new beaux. The capricious, generally directionless characters lead lives fraught with whimsy but also with sorrow, a sense of time escaping before life's real purpose is revealed. The cast includes General Scott, Aurora's increasingly senile "old boyfriend"; her maid and best friend, Rosie; her three grown grandchildren, all slightly damaged in some central way; as well as a variety of suitors. The connections between people in this novel, characterized by humor and serenity, run deep and sympathetic. Yet, as in life, there is a fair quotient of the unexpected and the tragic. McMurtry speaks from the heart with the gentle voice of acceptance. Don't miss this rare and wonderful book. Highly recommended for all audiences.

Parker, Barbara

The Perfect Fake
 Onyx 2007. book GuthrieBooks.com Spring Branch, TX, U.S.A. 52069477 5 S 2007 1.89
Book Description:
0451412451 Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Bestseller Parker's stand-alone thriller opens with a promising setup, but falls short of the author's best work, like Suspicion of Innocence, which was an Edgar finalist. Talented Miami artist Tom Fairchild, an ex-con, is struggling to stay on the good side of his rigorous probation officer, while helping out at his sister's antique shop. When his impressive imitation of a 16th-century map of Florida catches the eye of Stuart Barlowe, a wealthy local power player, at a map fair, Barlowe asks Fairchild to duplicate a rare Renaissance-period map that was ruined after it got stained with the blood of its murdered owner. Despite his distrust of this offer, the cash-short Fairchild is intrigued enough by the task's difficulty to accept it. A predictable romantic subplot adds little to the narrative as Fairchild dodges an array of unsavory characters in several European countries and the body count mounts. A surprise closing twist changes nothing. (Jan.) Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Booklist In a departure from her Gail Connor series, Parker writes an engrossing stand-alone thriller. Tom Fairchild is determined to get his life back in order after spending time in prison for theft. Now on parole, Tom, a would-be graphic artist, is working with his sister at her map shop in Miami. When real-estate developer Stuart Barlowe wants to hire Tom to make an exact copy of a Renaissance map, Tom sees a way of earning the money he needs to make restitution for his role in the theft. But does Barlowe really want a duplicate, or is he asking for a forgery? Either way, Tom agrees to being smuggled out of Florida to research the map in England and Italy. On the journey, romance is rekindled between Tom and his former girlfriend Allison, Barlowe's daughter. Naturally, there is much more to the map caper than meets the eye, and soon enough Tom and Allison are in the middle of it. Parker's villains are stereotypes, but Tom and Allison make a sympathetic couple on the run, and the cartography frame story is fresh and compelling.

Book Description:
1st Printing. 625 pages. Published in 2007. The author's breakthrough debut book. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published to enormous critical and popular acclaim, the book had a very small first print run and is now rare. "A whirlwind tour, from the Viennese premiere of Richard Strauss' 'Salome' in 1906 to Minimalist Steve Reich's downtown Manhattan apartment. The wide-ranging historical material is organized in thematic essays grounded in personalities and places, in a disarmingly comprehensive style. Thus, composers who led dramatic lives, such as Shostakovich's struggles under the Soviet Regime, make for gripping reading, but Ross treats each composer with equal gravitas. The real strength of this study, however, lies in his detailed musical analysis, teasing out, in precise but readily accessible language, the notes that link Leonard Bernstein's 'West Side Story' to Arnold Schoenberg's avant-garde compositions or hint at a connection between Sibelius and John Coltrane. Among the many notable passages, a close reading of Benjamin Britten's opera 'Peter Grimes' stands out for its masterful blend of artistic and biographical insight. Even avid fans will find themselves hearing familiar favorites with new ears" (Publisher's blurb). "Reads like a sprawling, intense novel, one of utopian dreams, doom, and consolation, with the most extraordinary cast of characters from music and history alike. A great, inspiring ride" (Osvaldo Golijov). Currently the Resident Music Critic of The New Yorker Magazine, Alex Ross succeeded not one but two of the greatest music critics we shall ever read: Andrew Porter and Paul Griffiths, both Brits. His essays are among the reasons The New Yorker Magazine remains not only relevant but indispensable reading, nothing less than one of contemporary life's most civilized pleasures. A masterpiece, this is a "must-have" title for Alex Ross and all music lover/collectors. This title was a surprise bestseller, remains available in multiple subsequent printings, and is now highly collectible. By the time Alex Ross toured for the book, copies were already in fifth and sixth printings. This is one of extremely few copies of the First Hardcover Edition still available online ("First Edition" and full number line beginning with 1 on the Copyright Page) and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with magnificent vintage photographs. Winner of the MacArthur Genius Grant in 2008. One of the finest living American writers. A flawless collectible copy.
