A Heart for Murder
At last Linda Owen brings us the anticipated follow-up to Fatal Fraternity, the story of Dean Warren, a police detective who goes to extraordinary lengths to win the love of his life during a murder investigation. Now, after four years of marriage, Lydia awakes from an accident with no memory, and Dean is forced to face a painful truth that his wife doesn't remember him. In the midst of his hunt for another serial killer, Dean vows to find a way to make his wife fall in love with him again. Dean and the homicide team are baffled in their hunt for a killer. One by one the bodies of strangled young women are found with hearts carved into their flesh. If Dean stands any chance of catching the killer, he's going to need the help of his teenage sons, fellow detectives, a retired police chief, and a lot of luck. In this powerfully moving tale of love lost, rediscovered, and renewed, Owen once again brings readers an exciting mystery with a surprise ending.

Fatal Fraternity
Someone is killing alumni of a fraternity --and homicide detective Dean Warren has no idea why. As he unravels the mystery of two murders, and more that follow, his search for a serial killer leads to a long list of suspects and several dead ends. Dean has always captured the killer quickly, so what is different this time? In the process of solving the mystery, he forges a friendship with Lydia James, the ex-wife of the first victim. It doesn't take long for him to be distracted from his quest. She is all he can think about. Their sons, Toby and Ethan, are best friends, so the four quickly become like a family unit, doing everything together. Dean knows he will capture the murderer eventually, but he wonders how to capture Lydia's heart. It will be no little feat. Her ex-husband's chronic infidelity has left mincemeat of her heart. Their sons want them to marry--to create a real family-- but first Lydia has to come to terms with her past. She has to forgive before she can love again. The Dean Warren mysteries will be a series of three or more novels.
Life After Power
New York Times Bestseller New York Times bestselling author of Accidental Presidents explores what happens after the most powerful job in the world: President of the United States. Former presidents have an unusual place in American life. King George III believed that George Washington’s departure after two terms made him “the greatest character of the age.” But Alexander Hamilton worried former presidents might “[wander] among the people like ghosts.” They were both right. Life After Power tells the stories of seven former presidents, from the Founding to today. Each changed history. Each offered lessons about how to decide what to do in the next chapter of life. Thomas Jefferson ...
James Dean in Death
James Dean's short life and three-film career inspired countless actors and rebellious teenagers, but his untimely death in a 1955 car crash has been an inspiration of a different kind. The ensuing decades have seen a continuing fascination with Dean's life, and have also fostered legions of devotees fascinated by his death. With the expected (death site pilgrims, alternative theorists, reports of Dean's ghost hitchhiking along that fated highway), there are the odd, the unbelievable and the downright wacky: lingering love affairs with Dean's ghost, visions of his disembodied head, and, of course, reports that he's alive and well, raising chickens and drinking rum with buddies in South America. The ongoing, growing fascination, folklore and legend surrounding the life and death of James Dean is testament that the cult of celebrity death is alive and well. This encyclopedia of James Dean-related subjects includes entries on such topics as associates, locales, books, and ephemera associated with his life. It focuses intensely on the events and people linked to his fatal crash, and on the body of myth, mystery and folklore surrounding Dean's tragic death.
The Last Underclass
Civilized humanity historically has an impoverished, downtrodden underclass: the Egyptian pyramid workers, the Roman Empires slaves, the medieval serfs, and the twentieth centurys urban ghetto-dwellers. Normally this class has a useful role: manual labor in mine and field, or service in home and restaurant. Cannon fodder. But as the computer age develops, complex machinery replaces labor, smart programs obsolete human services, and fire and forget missiles replace infantry. Even the need for skilled labor and middle management shrivels. In the twenty-first century the productivity of an individual worker skyrockets, so much so that only a few produce all of civilizations basic needs. Thus bi...
