A bright, solid book; Karl Alberg Mystery #1; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 217 pages; "In this, L.R. Wright's first mystery novel, we are introduced to RCMP Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg; and so begins the highly-acclaimed series featuring Karl and librarian Cassandra Mitchell. At eighty, George Wilcox hardly expected to crown his life by committing a murder. It had happened so quickly, so easily, so unexpectedly in the sleepy town on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, a near-perfect crime that wraps Wilcox in a web of guilt, honour, and secrets of the past. An unprovoked act that soon binds him to the warmhearted town librarian, Cassandra Mitchell, and her new romantic interest, zealous Staff Sergeant Alberg. Together, this troubled trio find themselves caught up in a crime whose solution transcends the logic of pure justice." Soon to be a TV series.

Desperate to resurrect his career, after succumbing to the lure of Hollywood, Gideon Zadok travels to Israel, determined to find material for a new book.Once there, he finds Natasha Solomon, a survivor of the Holocaust, and her disturbed passion for him unleashes his own smouldering desires.Then, on the eve of the '56 Sinai War, he abandons her and joins the Israeli forces and is parachuted to the key junction of Mitla Pass, deep behind enemy lines.Amid the sounds of battle, Gideon wages a war no less violent within himself, as he strives to come to grips with the frightening power of love-hate.
Breathtaking in scope and painfully human, Mitla Pass is the masterwork of a great novelist.
