The Devil's Advocate
The inspiration behind the major motion picture starring Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino, an unputdownable thriller about a lawyer who discovers that he’s become a defender of the damned. When Kevin Taylor joins the Manhattan criminal law firm of John Milton & Associates, he’s hit the big time. At last, he and his wife can enjoy the luxuries they’ve always dreamed of—a chauffeur and a limo, a stunning high-rise home. Then Kevin is assigned to one of the most notorious cases of the year, with a file that had been put together prior to the crime. Throwing himself into his work, Kevin begins to see a pattern of evil emerging from behind the firm’s plush facade. Acquittal after acquittal, every criminal client walks free, and Kevin’s suspicions slowly give way to terror.

John Stanley
This is a deluxe, full-color, coffee table book biography; the first of one of America’s greatest storytellers. It's filled with beautifully reproduced artwork from the comic books Little Lulu, and his creations Melvin Monster and Thirteen(Going on Eighteen); rare drawings and cartoons; and never-before-seen photographs. Bill Schelly tells Stanley’s life story through interviews with his family, friends, and colleagues: his childhood in Harlem and the Bronx, life with his strict Irish Catholic mother, his education at Parsons, his first job as an animator at Max Fleischer Studios, and his years working as a commercial artist, before finding his true métier in comic books during World War II (while battling clinical depression and alcoholism).
BEHIND THE HEDGEROWS
Behind the Hedgerows is a fictional drama about human nature and the conflicts that go with it. It is 1987 in the Hamptons. Cocaine is the drug of choice, AIDS is rampant, and the Old Guard is trying to hang on as new money invades Long Island’s East End. Hunter McPherson, East Hampton resident, entrepreneur, and fitness trainer to those of wealth, takes the reader “south of the highway” behind the manicured hedgerows for a firsthand look at the opulent and romanticized lives of the privileged few who live there. Privy to the entitled and deceitful world of his clients, Hunter is faced with a growing cynicism as those with massive egos, limitless greed, and needs for hedonistic pleasure test his moral resolve at every turn. Presented with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at creating his own wealth, Hunter cashes in on the dark secrets of his clients, using what he has learned to wield his own form of leverage, control, and power. In the process, lives are forever changed, including his own.

Happiness Is a Warm Gun
Happiness Is a Warm Gun is the sixth of Josh Pachter’s “inspired by” anthologies, following volumes of stories inspired by the songs of Joni Mitchell, Jimmy Buffett, Billy Joel, and Paul Simon…and by the films of the Marx Brothers. For this collection, the lyrics of the Beatles’ inspired the contributing authors to imagine a world in which murder, kidnapping, blackmail, and theft are as common as meter maids and yellow submarines. Each story was inspired by a song from one of the Fab Four’s studio albums: seventeen albums, seventeen songs, seventeen stories—by a total of eighteen authors (since one was written collaboratively by Dru Ann Love and Kristopher Zgorski, two of crime...
Martha
I wrote this book because it is a story that needs to be told. This is a story about a young girl, Martha, having to grow up in a world where she has to pay for her grandmother's sin--a sin that her grandmother made at an early age. It well tells how her mother also paid a heavy price for that same sin as she grow up. This book will take you on a ride through time and show you that evil is real in all walks of life. When you think good is at your door, evil will walk right in. Keep a lookout for my next book. It will be about how evil can go from state to state; how Martha has to survive in Chicago at a time when pimping is at its all-time high; and how she has to deal with homelessness, love, lost love, and drugs all because of her grandmother's lies and sin.
