Salvatore Marchetti has spent thirty-two years working at the same small bank in Queens and his heart is failing, so when amateur bank robbers overlook a small fortune during a heist, Sal seizes the chance of a lifetime—he pockets the cash for his struggling family. However, his sudden death spurs the race to find the missing money, drawing together a cross-section of early 60s New Yorkers: a couple of hard-nosed NYPD detectives, the Mafia, a scheming bank manager, a stockbroker son, a trio of dope fiends destined for Sing Sing, a vengeful former lover, and a bewildered widow. Grizzled detective O’Reardon wants one last solve before his retirement, and his relentless search is tempered only by his habit of falling for the women he’s investigating. Meanwhile, Laura Marchetti, Sal’s straitlaced, religious widow, sees her chance to outsmart them all—but reluctantly, she’ll need to involve her mob boss father first.

Classical Guitarists fills a void in the special world of the classical guitar. Although this realm is inhabited by world-class musicians, much of what they think and feel has never been captured in print. The interviewees, including Julian Bream, John Williams, Sharon Isbin, Eliot Fisk, David Starobin and David Tanenbaum are a select group at the peak of their prowess who speak openly and thoughtfully about their opportunities, accomplishments, and lessons learned. Each has made important contributions from establishing significant academic programs to broadening the audience for the classical guitar. The author shares his reviews of their most important recordings and New York City concerts during the 1990s, as well as discographies of their recordings. There are also interviews with Harold Shaw, the most prominent artist manager in the history of the classical guitar and several of today's most important composers for the guitar, including Pulitzer Prize winners George Crumb and Aaron Jay Kernis. An introductory chapter provides an historical perspective on classical guitar and a postscript explains how to create a basic repertoire of recordings.

Strings Attached is the much anticipated authorised biography of John Williams, one of the most accomplished and celebrated musicians of his generation. From his childhood in Australia to his stellar career in London and around the world, John Williams has lived an extraordinary life. Master of the classical repertoire, he took the guitar to a wider audience with the band SKY and by his championing of the music of South America and Africa. William Starling came to know John Williams through their mutual friend, jazz guitarist John Etheridge. As their friendship developed, he put it to the maestro that it was time for a biography. To his lasting amazement, the famously private Williams agreed. Strings Attached is the product of extensive research and uniquely privileged access to John Williams, his family, friends and musical associates. It is the first telling of the fascinating life and career of a world-renowned musician and, equally, the story of a man and the making of his identity.
