When newswoman Britt Shelley wakes up to find herself in bed with Jay Burgess, a rising star detective in the Charleston PD, she remembers nothing of how she got there...or of how Jay wound up dead.

Dr. Jonathan Ransom, world-class mountaineer and surgeon for Doctors Without Borders, is climbing the Swiss Alps with his beautiful wife Emma, when a blizzard sets in. In their bid to escape the storm, Emma is killed when she falls into a crevasse. Suddenly the subject of an international manhunt and the target of a master assassin, Jonathan is forced on the run. His only chance at survival lies in uncovering the devastating truth behind the secret his wife kept from him and in stopping the terrifying conspiracy that threatens to bring the world to the brink of annihilation.--From the dust jacket.

Boycott...chronicles the events and times surrounding the United States' boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics and tells the stories of athletes who trained thousands of hours for their chance at Oylmpic glory only to become pawns in a political chess match between superpowers.--From the dust jacket.

Kathryn Shevelow gives us the dramatic story of the bold reformers who braved attacks because they sympathized with the plight of creatures everywhere; she also tells of the changes in attitudes that would make their reforms possible. Accessible and lively, For the Love of Animals is a groundbreaking cultural narrative that takes us into the lives of animals--and into the minds of humans--at a transforming moment in history.--From the dust jacket.
