Publisher's Summary:

When a dead guy falls off the train just yards from Yorktown, a hobo camp near West Wheaton, California, all manner of forces begin to collide. Three men live in Yorktown: York, the old, blind hobo and self-proclaimed mayor of his little enclave; Denny, the young rail rider; and Sly, the damaged Vietnam vet. When they are blamed for the murder, the town fathers are ready to bulldoze the camp that has existed there for 40 years or more. Clover, the girl who works at the donut shop and keeps the bums in day-old and toothpaste as her personal ministry, determines to save the camp and the harmless guys who live out in the open. She has the compassionate ear of the sheriff, but his deputy is a hothead and in the pocket of the mayor who, has shady business dealings he needs to have accomplished under dark of night.

When Clover and her boys discover who really killed the guy on the train, tensions ratchet up, and a van full of thugs are hired to go clean up the hobo camp by the light of the full moon, but blind, old York and his two inept sidekicks are ready for them in as unconventional a defensive posture as possible. Eventually everyone knows it's the end of the era where rail riders can live out their freedoms, and the inevitable is going to happen, but before it does, those who wield unreasonable power must have their comeuppance, and those who have been doing good works all their lives must be rewarded.

York's Moon is an unconventional murder mystery, a love story, and a story of the little guy fighting city hall and winning. Sort of.

Engrossing and simple

I very much enjoyed and looked forward to each time I picked this up and read more of the story. At the same time I kept being surprised at how straightforward the story was. For most of my life I was an avid reader. But after I started reading 8+ hours a day on the computer for work I stopped reading much. I now find myself starting many books but dropping them before getting halfway through. This book brought back the old days of being engrossed in reading. Thanks! It was a pleasure to read this book.

Genre-stretching mystery

This book surprised me in a number of ways, all pleasant. It is a compact tale, of a kind not often written these days. Which is to say the pay-off from reading it exceeds the investment of time required to do so. It's a murder mystery that adheres to few conventions of the genre. There is a character who ultimately solves the crime, but you might say it is solved as much by the pressures of group dynamics, or by a kind-hearted old hobo's stubborn refusal to change his ways.

The hobo, York, has a camp on a rail siding in West Wheaton, California. "Yorktown" is comprised of York, Sly, a Vietnam vet with PTSD, and Denny, a wild, good-natured lad committed to a life of aimlessness. The trio form a microcosm community that defies stereotypes. York does not allow drinking, drugs, or violence in his camp, and his rules are enforced by Sly and Denny and York's legendary status among indigent road dwellers. Yorktown has become, thereby, an austere oasis of civility for homeless wanderers, and York himself a magnet for the troubled youths of West Wheaton, who find reassurance and encouragement in his counsel.

Publisher's Summary:

Hastings investigates a murder among a set of wealthy adulterers.

By the time Haney and the woman get to her apartment, they are so drunk they can hardly get through the door. They undress and begin to fool around, but before they make it to the bedroom, they have an argument. Haney is about to leave when the woman starts to laugh at him. He spins around and slugs her as hard as he can. His head is beginning to clear by the time he makes it home. He's just sober enough to notice the glint of a dagger before it's buried in his gut.

Haney's wife finds his body at the foot of the stairs. She calls the police, but cannot tell them the truth about the evening - that she and her husband were both in other people's beds. Lieutenant Frank Hastings has no trouble interrogating criminals, but untangling this web of marital lies will be one of the trickiest cases of his career.

Enjoyable

Michael Blaine's novel might be mislabeled. If you were expecting a run of the mill historical mystery filled with action and adventure, you might be disappointed. This is more a thick, historical fiction novel with some crime. Meticulously researched, filled with ton of accurate detail ( a bit too much for a good flow ), it shows New York City with its glamour and its squalor, not much different than today. Enjoyable, informative detour to days bygone.

What's A Fella Gotta Do??????????

What begins as a simple, lurid tale of Catricide soon develops into one of greed, Eugenics, and the slaughter of another group of Innocents.

Max Greengrass, a stringer for the NEW YORK HERALD, is paid by the column-inch..so everything has "story-potential" in his eyes....and his pocketbook. When he stumbles, literally, upon a tableau of dead cats, one drunken evening, he sees only the number of paragraphs to be eked out for a story...unbeknownst to him, however, is the fact that this Story could be the the Big One..to make his career or end his life....

1890s NYC..Tammany hall in its grand corruption...swank lawyers playing both sides of the courtroom. Clergyman Reformers having it both ways with Sin & Salvation, while the city's poorest pay the tab...The Hudson Dusters and their Gangland ilk provide "color".....a sexy radical Settlement House nurse and a dedicated, Bluestocking photographer provide the "love interest' in Max's life....when he's not being throttled by street Arabs..or The Herald's City Editor..

A vibrant cast of characters and a plot "ripped from the headlines" make this a fast-paced, enjoyable read....and you just might learn some History in the process.

**** (4 Stars) ( )

A fascinating but flawed historical novel / mystery

Blaine's novel is reminiscent of a series of novels by Troy Soos (Island of Tears, The Gilded Cage, etc), in that all are set in New York City in the 1890's, are very well-researched, and have a journalist as their main character, who confronts the rampant corruption of Tammany Hall, the police, religious institutions, and financial and real estate interests. The Midnight Band of Mercy really existed, but its unclear if the heinous crimes that Blaine attributes to this mysterious group and their associates are a matter of truth, fiction, or something in between.

Publisher's Summary:

Hastings chases a serial killer who preys on the glitterati.

Tony Frazer takes a wide berth when he sees the homeless man. A millionaire playboy, he does not consort with street people, and is in the process of skirting the derelict, eyes averted, when the stranger calls his name. The king of the society pages turns just in time to be struck by three silenced bullets, slumping to his knees and dying there in the gutter.

Although witnesses insist the killer was a homeless man, homicide lieutenant Frank Hastings sees signs of a professional at work - the kind who kills quietly, then disappears into the night. In fact, as Hastings learns, the killer thinks himself a crusader - a kind of Robin Hood with a pistol - and he has many more assassinations planned. San Francisco society had better take cover, for this killer has a thirst for blue blood.

Publisher's Summary:

In the shadows of the Golden Gate Bridge, Hastings investigates a glamorous murder.

The killer is long gone from the crime scene when he realizes his mistake. It went perfectly, right until the end. He lured Lisa to the oceanfront park, entered her car on the passenger side, shot her twice, and escaped without being stained by her blood. He took the gun with him, as planned - but he forgot her purse, the crucial detail meant to make the crime look like a robbery. It was a simple mistake, but it could cost him everything.

It does not take long for Lieutenant Frank Hastings to notice the purse - nor is he slow to notice the victim's beauty. Lisa Franklin was a self-described courtesan, a would-be poet who paid her rent by lavishing affection on San Francisco's rich and powerful. As Hastings combs through her client list, he is confronted with one vital question: Which captain of industry was foolish enough to leave the purse behind?

Publisher's Summary:

On a beautiful Saturday in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota, state investigator Kirk Stevens and FBI special agent Carla Windermere witness the assassination of one of the states wealthiest men. The shooter is a young man, utterly unremarkable...except for the dead look in his eyes.

The events of that sunny springtime day will lead Stevens and Windermere to a flourishing 21st-century enterprise: a high-tech murder-for-hire social media website. But just who has the dead-eyed shooter targeted next...and whos choosing his victims?

Critic Reviews:

"Owen Laukkanen's fast-paced, no frills style is brisk, blunt and fuelled entirely by adrenaline." (New York Times)

"Once more, Laukkanen scores one of the thrillers of the year. It will be difficult to top Kill Fee, but one more, I expect he will." (National Post)

"Enthralling...Kill Fee works well as an in-depth police procedural and an insightful look at amorality and greed. Laukkanen employs the same strengths of brisk plotting and incisive character studies that he established in his first two novels." (Huffington Post)

Members Reviews:

Beautiful story!

I absolutely love this short story!! The only negative thing I can say about it is, it was too short!! I didn't want it to end!! I think it's great how every female character in this book is so unbelievably strong (physically and mentally). You don't get that a lot from male writers and Josh Hilden did an excellent job. I would love to see a part 2 to this. Josh Hilden told me that this was his favorite story to write, and I can see why! I can't wait to read his other books.

One way ticket.

I'll just be honest and say, that I think this is one of Mr. Hildens finest stories. He's written some pretty kick butt tales, but this one was solid. Yep, I'd recommend this story and author.

good read

good twist to the story. made me cringe at certain parts due to descriptions of violence in certain scenes, but overall it was a good book, happy ending.

Interesting story, interesting characters

Good story. I liked the characters. It was poorly edited and the end seemed off. Like he either went to long or didn't cut it off soon enough. I like Hilden' s work though. I plan to keep reading his stuff.

Title: Button Man

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Paul Lyons

Narrator: Ron Butler

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-26-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

During the scorching hot summer of 1988, Michael Dukakis leads George Bush senior in the polls. And while political conventions and campaigns continue to be in session, Hawk and the rest of the "button gang" sell their buttons first to Democrats in Atlanta, then Republicans in New Orleans. As always, the gang sells to either side of any persuasion, offering a unique underview of the American political process, amoral hucksterism, and a corrupted form of capitalism. Sought after by loan sharks and his girlfriends Ginsu-wielding ex-husband, Hawk is a witty and likeable character full of street smarts and unmatchable survival instincts.

His story explores trust - and trust betrayed, along with the ethics of the street - and ethics compromised. Hawk's tale is one of an edgy outsider's will for survival and love. Drawing from a side of politics and capitalism rarely seen by the general public, Button Man, with its unnerving violence and biting wit, is reminiscent of the worlds of Elmore Leonard, Nathaniel West, William Kennedy, and Quentin Tarantino.

Members Reviews:

A pungent, revealing sketch-piece of a young New York street vendor's milieu. Savvy, and sometimes hilarious.

Button Man is a slim, enjoyable novel with some cinematic notes, slight characterizations built mainly on snippets of dialog, and relatively thin plot development. But after I'd finished reading, I couldn't shake off its residual impacts: Life happens, whether or not one has plan or intention. Luck is not a satisfactory substitute for a plan. A good moral code has sharp edges and a hard center (read: is not soft and squishy).

Paul Lyons has a great ear and a knowing sense of his street-wise characters. It's remarkable that Button Man is almost devoid of exposition. A character walks in the door, opens his mouth, and that's how we get to know him. Even the protagonistââHawkâ--has little back story other than a succession of meaningless gigs and a refrigerator snapshot of his speedskating champ father. Hawk's true father figureâa hustler-guru named Sammyâis the only other character that Lyons develops to any extent. The scene of reckoning between the two is poignant. Hawk's casual love interest Carla is a downtown industrial artist type. The two bump into each other verbally more than embrace. It's Carla's daughter Zoey, who gives Hawk an opportunity to be meaningful in someone's life. His reaching out for that prize may be his biggest bet to shake off the directionlessness that defines him at age 31. I was rooting for him at the end of the book.

Spoiler alert: I recommend that readers count their toes before beginning the book, and then again after finishing it. Funny, how phantom pain will focus one's thoughts and actions.

Well Crafted Picture of Life from Behind the Boards

Behind the button boards of street vendors, that is. Life is pretty basic when you're selling on the streets. Money arrives in sporadic spurts, depending on the event. Unfortunately, the main man gets most of it. Add to this a bad gambling habit, and the button man isn't going to last long. As a former New York resident, Lyons does a good job of giving the reader some sense of this chaotic life surrounded by other suspicious, untrusting, but interesting characters.

Deine Liebe kann tödlich sein.

Die Innenarchitektin Lane Harmon, alleinerziehende Mutter der fünfjährigen Katie, erhält einen großen neuen Auftrag: Sie soll das Stadthaus der Bennetts neu ausstatten. Diese Familie hat - wie Lane bald herausfindet - eine dunkle Geschichte: Der Senior, Peter, verschwand vor zwei Jahren bei einem Segelausflug spurlos - und nur wenig später kam heraus, dass aus dem von ihm gemanagten Fonds fünf Milliarden Dollar veruntreut wurden.

War es Selbstmord? Oder hat er sein Verschwinden inszeniert? Nur seine Familie glaubt fest an seine Unschuld. Und Lane ist zusehends hin- und hergerissen, denn sie hat sich in den attraktiven Sohn des Hauses verliebt. Sie ahnt nicht, wie sehr sie sich und ihre kleine Tochter dadurch in Gefahr bringt...
