Hardback. Condition: Like New. In search of a summer escape from her overbearing family, an Asian-Latine teenager becomes the mentee to a chic elderly woman. But as her mentor's memory starts to fade, the teenager is confronted with a choice that may jeopardize their friendship. Emily Chen-Sanchez can't do anything right. She's been grounded for a bad grade; she can't stop fighting with her perfect older sister; everyone's tense because her mother's just been diagnosed with thyroid cancer; and she hasn't spoken to her best friend Matt in two weeks, four days, and about seven hours (not that she's counting). Her new summer job is the perfect escape: as companion to an eclectic, lively, Super Southern elderly lady, Mrs. Granucci. All Emily has to do is help Mrs. G 'remember" her likes, dislikes, anything Mrs. G has a habit of forgetting, even Emily's name. Emily feels closer to Mrs. G than everyone else until Mrs. G falsely accuses Emily. The betrayal will have ramifications for them both, and Emily must make a decision that will change their lives forever. The Summer I Remembered Everything is a story of longing for an escape, finding yourself, caring for someone with an illness, and learning that sometimes the right decision is always the hardest.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. The second in Con Lehane's 42nd Street Library mystery series, Murder in the Manuscript Room is a smart, compelling mystery in which the characters themselves are at least as interesting as the striking sleuthing. "Not to be missed." --Megan Abbott "A story utterly relevant to the real-life horror story unfolding in America's immigration politics."--Sara Paretsky When a murder desecrates the somber, book-lined halls of New York City's iconic 42nd Street Library, Raymond Ambler, the library's curator of crime fiction, has a personal interest in solving the crime. His quest to solve the murder is complicated by personal entanglements involving his friend--or perhaps more-than-friend--Adele Morgan. Not only does Adele's relationship with the young woman staffer who was murdered get in the way of Ambler's investigation, more disturbing for him is Adele's growing interest in a darkly handsome Islamic scholar. Soon the Intelligence Division of the New York Police Department takes over the case from NYPD homicide detective Mike Cosgrove, Ambler's friend and sometimes partner-in-crime solving. Ambler suspects that the murder of the young woman, who'd been working at the library under an assumed name and the curious intervention of NYPD's intelligence division are connected. The trail of intrigue leads to a seemingly unrelated murder in an upstate prison and a long ago murder of a trade union reformer. No one else sees the connections Ambler is sure are there--not an unusual state of affairs for Ambler. But with the city's law enforcement establishment determined to stop his investigation, the inquisitive and intrepid librarian faces challenges that may put his very life at risk.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Revolutionary, president, fugitive and captive, Saddam Hussein was a dominant force in Middle Eastern politics for many years. In this New York Times bestseller, Con Coughlin draws on an unparalleled network of sources to explore Saddam's life, from his humble birth to his rise to power and eventual capture by American forces in 2003. Coughlin recounts Saddam's regime, in which the dictator tried to control every aspect of Iraqi life. He also explores the many contradictions in Saddam's character, including his support of fundamentalist Islam while in private he drank alcohol and was a womanizer, as well as his celebration of the family, which was contradicted by his violent and unpredictable treatment of his own relatives. Insightful, penetrating and shocking, Con Coughlin has written the defining biography of one of the most dangerous men of the last two decades. Con Coughlin is one of Britain's leading journalists. He is Defense and Security Editor for London's Daily Telegraph and is a frequent commentator for British and American news and current affairs programs. He was one of CN's official contributors during the war in Iraq and is presently a political commentator for NBC and MSNBC. An engrossing account of how a semi-educated peasant boy advanced to power through the bloodstained shoals of Iraqi revolutionary politics. Chilling. -- Los Angeles Times Book Review.…
