Vonnegut's unique insider's perspective and his intuitive, darkly humorous writing are the key elements that make this a smart, sharp and gripping suspense thriller that digs deep behind the dirty dealings and scams of Wall Street's elite.

Debut author Gary Clites's Seneca Wood was selected as a Reader's Choice pick for Entertainment Weekly's August 30, 2009 "Must List."
''In this murder mystery set in West Virginia, the hero is Wood Garrett, while the minor character Wayne Zirk pops up unexpectedly at various points, providing a twisted sort of comic relief. Clites' character introductions and development are perfectly timed and keep you wanting more.''
Debut author Daniel Levin's The Last Ember hit this week's New York Times bestseller list! For those of you who haven't read it yet, The Last Ember is an international suspense thriller that races from the labyrinths beneath Rome to the biblical tunnels of Jerusalem. The Los Angeles Times hailed The Last Ember as "an intelligent and smartly-paced thriller with the added spice of archaeological politics." And the novel's theme of deadly historical revisionism is timelier than ever. Only days ago, the Palestinian Authority's top religious official, Sheikh Tamimi, denied all Judeo-Christian history in Jerusalem - ignoring thousands of years of historical evidence. Life really does imitate art.
