Caribbean-island innkeeper Holly Walker is hunkering down against a monster hurricane. Unfortunately, so is player Lord Anthony Bascombe, a man who excuses his bad behavior by saying he is descended from pirates. Then her grown son, Byron, and his father, Montez—the man she’s never stopped wanting—go missing. Will she ever see them again? What about the many others hurt and dying? And will help ever arrive? With each passing day, Holly’s tumultuous past and the epic storm send her hurtling toward a shattering climax that will change the island—and Holly’s life—forever.
“The sheriff of Prophesy County, Okla., tackles a murder case involving several wives, all married to the same man . . . A twisted mystery” (Kirkus Reviews). The members of the New Saints Tabernacle generally try not to draw the attention of Sheriff Milt Kovak, but now one of Jerry Hudson’s three wives has been murdered—and that’s a much worse crime than polygamy as far as the Oklahoma lawman is concerned. With some help from his wife, a psychiatrist who’s conducting interviews for the police, Milt digs into the tensions that existed among the plural family and various relatives and neighbors—and considers the possibility that the perpetrator may have come from outside the walls of the community . . . “One of today’s finest mystery writers.” —Carolyn Hart
Hi, my name is Emma Harris. I am 17 years old. I was born on the 8th June 1993. I live in Ireland, just in a small village outside of Naas in Co. Kildare.

The Go-Go’s made music on their own terms and gave voice to a generation caught between the bra-burning irreverence of the seventies and the me-first decadence of the eighties. Anthems like “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” and “Vacation” are an indelible part of our collective soundtrack, but more than that, they speak to the power and possibility of youth. Inspired by punk but not yoked to it, the Go-Go’s broke important musical ground by combining cheeky lyrics, clever hooks, and catchy melodies, perfectly capturing what it feels like to be young and female in the process. But beyond the Go-Go’s effervescent sound and cheerful pop stylings, a darkness underlies m...

The Los Angeles area feels almost alive with movie history. It is impossible to walk down any neighborhood block that didn't play host to movie history on some level. From Chaplin walking Hollywood sidewalks in 1915 to the Three Stooges running down Culver City streets in 1930 to westerns filmed in the Valley in the 1950's, the area has been the background for thousands of films and home to millions of movie people.
