The Name of the Game
The Byrne family has ruled the North Side of Chicago for three generations. They have the crime game down to a science. But when the ailing mob boss?s youngest son James is brutally attacked in distant San Diego, it catches everyone off guard. Eldest son Tommy, now head of the family and fixated on turning their interests into legitimate businesses, sends envoys to investigate, as well as middle son Enzo, to seek retribution. His mother and father?s consigliore, however, in wanting to return to the old ways, use the attack to trigger a power struggle that consumes the family and leaves its legacy up for grabs. Meanwhile, a nosy reporter and persistent detective also look for answers and find themselves caught up in a deadly family squabble. Filled with intrigue, suspense, and betrayal, The Name of the Game is a compelling thriller that will grab you by the shirt collar and won?t let go until the last page. The tension builds along with the body count as the mobsters turn their attention away from business and toward each other. Family, it turns out, isn?t as important as it seems.

Congressional Record
The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. It is published daily when Congress is in session. The Congressional Record began publication in 1873. Debates for sessions prior to 1873 are recorded in The Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States (1789-1824), the Register of Debates in Congress (1824-1837), and the Congressional Globe (1833-1873)
The Last Days of the United States Asiatic Fleet
After the attack on Pearl Harbor (December 7), American sailors of the Asiatic Fleet (where it was December 8) were abandoned by Washington and left to conduct a war on their own, isolated from the rest of the U.S. naval forces. Their fate in the Philippines and Dutch East Indies was often grim--many died aboard burning ships, were executed upon capture or spent years as prisoners of war. Many books have been written about the ships of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet, yet few look into the experiences of the common sailor. Drawing on official reports, past research, personal memoirs and the writings of war correspondents, the author tells the story of those who never came home in 1945.
The Respondent
With The Respondent: Exposing the Cartel of Family Law, Hollywood veteran Greg Ellis delivers a gripping, unvarnished first-person account of family breakdown and the social, political, and legal forces that are fueling this national health emergency. It further exposes and condemns a gender bias that presumes that fathers are less effective caregivers. Family breakdown is the single greatest threat to American society. Every day, more than 4,000 children lose a parent because of our archaic and inhumane family-court system. Every day, ten divorced men commit suicide. And now, one in three children in our country are without their father. The Respondent is Ellis's personal story about a Hollywood dream razed by internal and external forces. Part memoir, part meditation, and part manifesto, it's a timely and heartrending portrait of perhaps the most misunderstood aspect of the American legal system. Through its candor and moral strength, The Respondent offers guidance and hope. As such, it's an indispensable read for not only parents enduring the grief of child separation, but all interested in learning about the gross overreach and unrelenting brutality of family law.
