The Great Escape
In this ground-breaking book, acclaimed author Kati Marton brings to life an unknown chapter of World War II: the tale of nine men who grew up in Budapest's brief Golden Age, then, driven from Hungary by anti-Semitism, fled to the West, especially to the United States, and changed the world. These nine men, each celebrated for individual achievements, were actually part of a unique group who grew up in a time and place that will never come again. It is Marton's extraordinary achievement to trace what for a few dazzling years was common to all of them -- the magic air of Budapest -- and show how their separate lives and careers were, in fact, all shaped by Budapest's lively cafe life before t...
They Started in MGs
An affordable, lightweight sports car suitable for racing, the MG TC launched the sports car scene in postwar America. A wave of drivers first competed on the track in these and the later TD, TF and MGA models during the 1950s, many of them eventually moving up to Porsches, Alfa Romeos, Jaguars and Ferraris. Eighty such drivers, from the famous (e.g., Phil Hill, John Fitch, David E. Davis, Jr.) to lesser known men and women with equally vivid stories, are profiled in this book, which presents many of their recollections from firsthand interviews alongside a wealth of period photographs.
Sin & Penitence
25 years is a long time to carry guilt. But ex-cop and now coroner Roy Burtman had been able to manage it. Almost. As a recovering alcoholic with a couple of failed marriages behind him, he was doing the best that he could. But when a decades old case comes back to haunt him, he must face his guilt and demons head on. It had always been that way regarding Sarah. For 25 years now he wondered what really happened to her? What role did he play in her death? What level of responsibility should he accept? Little did he know that he would soon start on a journey where he would get the answers and ultimately he would have to settle for trading one set of nightmares and guilt for another.

Dr. Ziegler carried on a busy medical practice as general surgeon and ph...
