Paperback. Condition: Good. Drawing on more than six decades' worth of lessons from his storied career as a writer and professor, Willard Spiegelman reflects with candid humor and sophistication on growing old. Senior Moments is a series of discrete essays that, when taken together, constitute the life of a man who, despite Western cultural notions of aging as something to be denied, overcome, and resisted, has continued to relish the simplest of pleasures: reading, looking at art, talking, and indulging in occasional fits of nostalgia while also welcoming what inevitably lies ahead. Senior Moments is a foray into the felicity and follies that age brings; a consideration of how and what one reads or rereads in late adulthood; the eagerness for, and disappointment in, long-awaited reunions, at which the past comes alive in the present. It is guaranteed to stimulate, stir, and restore.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. John March walked away from his family's merchant bank for the life of a rural deputy sheriff-a life that would explode in personal tragedy and professional disaster. Three years later, March is back in New York City, working as a private investigator and still running from his grief and guilt. When he takes the case of Rick Pierro, a wealthy investment banker threatened by blackmail, March is swiftly drawn into a web of Wall Street insiders and outcasts, and back to a world he thought he'd left behind. The more he learns about Pierro's connections to a notorious international bank that made billions in blood-money, the darker the terrain becomes. Soon March's own life is in danger, as he follows a trail of blood and shattered lives to a ruthless and depraved extortionist. In this thrilling and intelligent debut, Peter Spiegelman illuminates the dark underside of the financial world and introduces one of the most compelling fictional detectives of the new millennium.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. A hypnotic literary mystery thriller about a murder at a secluded research facility and the secrets that it exposes. - Cyber thievery, lust, corporate espionage, and a host of deleterious secrets comprise the chords of this sweeping, riveting symphony. A bold and original thriller by a masterful storyteller. --Elizabeth Brundage, author of The Vanishing Point Looming high above the cliffside along a remote coastline, Ondstrand House is the headquarters of the shadowy biotech firm Ondstrand Biologic. When the body of the organization's most gifted young scientist, Allegra Stans, is discovered in a walk-in refrigerator--her neck has been broken--Agent Myles is called in to investigate. Myles works for Standard Division, the most feared element of a vast state security apparatus, and he's been dispatched to the brooding manor, a massive stone campus that once housed a notorious boarding school, to do what Standard Division agents do best--complete the task at hand. As his investigation proceeds, Myles discovers that gifted scientist is only one thread in the complicated fabric of Allegra's life. There are darker strands as well--of ambition, manipulation, and bitter grievance--all woven into a pattern of secrets, each presenting a reasonable motive for murder. It appears everyone has something to hide, including Allegra's colleagues, lovers, and former lovers--even the very halls of Ondstrand House itself. Questions continue to pile up: What interest does Standard Division, an organization best known for intelligence gathering and clandestine international operations, have in this seemingly straightforward case? Could the killing have anything to do with the sprawling estate's sordid past? And what, exactly, is this research facility researching? Before long, another murder is discovered, and Myles finds himself an increasingly unwelcome presence in an ever more hostile landscape with few allies and fewer answers.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. A memoir of mothers and daughters and mothers as daughters traced through four generations, from Paris to New York and back again. Well past the age when most children stop believing in magic, Nadja Spiegelman believed her mother was a fairy. More than her famous father, Maus creator Art Spiegelman, and even more than most mothers, hers Paris-born New Yorker art director Francoise Mouly seemed to possess superhuman powers, both dazzling and daunting. As Nadja emerged into an early adolescence and her body began to whisper to the adults around me in a language I did not understand, the tensions between them deepened. Unwittingly, they were replaying a drama from her mother s past, a drama Nadja sensed but had never been told, beyond shadowy disclosures that quickly dead-ended into I m supposed to protect you from all that. It wasn t until she graduated from college that her mother finally opened up to her about her upbringing, as the daughter of a flamboyant nouveau-riche plastic surgeon and his volatile wife, who too readily made their children pawns in their tempestuous relationship. It had taken an ocean to allow Francoise enough distance to break free and reinvent herself in New York, which she did with a vengeance. Now, at not much more than the same age, Nadja made the journey in reverse, returning to Paris determined to fill in the blanks and to resolve the contradictions in her mother s account. But while she learned that where mothers and daughters are concerned, clean beginnings and endings are impossible, she emerged with this dramatic and moving multigenerational narrative and a deeper understanding of why those who love us best sometimes hurt us most. I m Supposed to Protect You from All This is a book in which every woman will see herself and her mother, and how they glorify, vilify, distort, misunderstand, and, ultimately, if they are lucky, make their peace with the past and allow each other to become, imperfectly, themselves. …
