Operation Snitch
Six years out of law school, Minneapolis attorney Beau Campbell was broke. No reputable firm would touch him because the FBI had shut down his last employer. Facing mountains of debt, he hung a shingle and started his own firm specializing in vengeful ex-spouses needing a divorce lawyer. One night, while working late at the office, an unexpected female visitor appeared in his lobby. When she asked for his help, he felt powerless to say no. Suddenly, he was thrust into the middle of a dangerous game with implications that stretched far beyond a simple court case. Can Beau find a way back to a normal life before it’s too late?

The Pursuit of Being Noticed
A laugh-out-loud, unforgettable story about the things people do to be seen and the courage it takes to follow one’s heart, wherever it leads. When thirty-four-year-old Harvard law graduate, Kate Becker, lands her dream job at an all-woman firm in Austin, Texas, she is on top of the world. Her quest to become a judge, and follow in the footsteps of her hero, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, suddenly seems possible. And best of all, she did it by edging out her sister and a shady colleague to boot. Everything in her life is on track. If she doesn’t screw up. The firm doesn’t tolerate mistakes. It employs winners, only winners. But when a misguided attempt to impress the boss goes horribly wrong, Kate must decide how far she’s willing to go to save her dream. And what she’ll risk for it. With help from her sister, mother, and a group of zany retired card club members, she discovers what really matters in work and in life. Quirky, clever, and eminently relatable, The Pursuit of Being Noticed is filled with eccentric characters and is the perfect read for anyone who doubts if they are on the right path.
Syncopations
This compulsively readable collection of profiles and essays by James Campbell, tied together by a beguiling autobiographical thread, proffers unique observations on writers and writing in the post-1950s period. Campbell considers writers associated with the New Yorker magazine, including John Updike, William Maxwell, Truman Capote, and Jonathan Franzen. Continuing his longterm engagement with African American authors, he offers an account of his legal battle with the FBI over James Baldwin's file and a new profile of Amiri Baraka. He also focuses on the Beat poets Gary Snyder and Allen Ginsberg, as well as writers such as Edmund White and Thom Gunn. Campbell's concluding essay on his childhood in Scotland gracefully connects the book's autobiographical dots.
