Summary:

A father. A son. A murder.

Meet Tony Valenti. His high-flying corporate law career just cratered. His society marriage blew up in a bitter divorce. He's returned to the Chicago suburbs to lick his wounds and regroup in the haven of the Valenti family home. But time to heal isn't in the cards.

Tony's elderly father inexplicably shoots a sheriff's deputy on their front porch. Nobody knows why, and Papa isn't talking. Then their house becomes an unlikely target for condemnation and expropriation by corrupt local officials and their cronies.

With money and hope dwindling, Tony steps up to defend his father and take on city hall, and quickly finds himself in peril when he unearths sinister connections between the cases. The audacity of the plot against them fuels a gritty determination to get to the bottom of what really happened-regardless of the risks and ultimate cost to himself. To win, Tony must earn his father's trust and outwit his wily opponents.

Title: Unmasking the Klansman: The Double Life of Asa and Forrest Carter

Author: Dan T. Carter

Narrator: Art Brown

Format: Unabridged

Length: 17:52:34

Language: English

Release date: 12-19-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Biography & Memoir, Literary, North America

Summary:

Unmasking the Klansman may read like a work of fiction but is actually a biography of Asa Carter, one of the South's most notorious white supremacists (and secret Klansman). In the early 1960s Carter became a secret adviser to George Wallace and wrote the Alabama governor's infamous 1963 inauguration speech vowing 'segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.' When Carter disappeared from Alabama in 1972, few knew that he had assumed a new identity in Abilene, Texas, masquerading as a Cherokee American novelist. Using the name 'Forrest' Carter, he published three successful Western novels, including The Rebel Outlaw, which Clint Eastwood made into a movie. His last book, The Education of Little Tree (a fake biography of his supposed Indian childhood) posthumously became a number one bestseller in 1991.

Author Dan T. Carter uncovered 'Forrest' Carter's true identity while researching his biography of Georgia Wallace and in a New York Times op-ed he exposed Carter's deception. Although the difficulties of uncovering the full story of the secretive Carter initially led him to abandon the project, in 2018 he gained access to more than two hundred interviews by the late Anniston newsman, Fred Burger. These recordings and his two decades of exhaustive research finally brought Asa Carter's story into focus. Unmasking the Klansman is the result.

Title: Sovereign of a Free People: Abraham Lincoln, Majority Rule, and Slavery

Author: James H. Read

Narrator: Joshua Saxon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:45:32

Language: English

Release date: 12-19-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Biography & Memoir, Law & Politics, North America

Summary:

When Abraham Lincoln was sworn into office, seven slave states had preemptively seceded rather than recognize the legitimacy of his election. His immediate purpose was to argue against the legitimacy of a powerful minority forcibly partitioning the United States because it was dissatisfied with the results of a free, constitutionally conducted election. His wider purpose was to make the case that a deliberate, constitutionally checked majority, though by no means infallible, was the appropriate ultimate authority not only on routine political questions but even on the kind of difficult, deeply divisive questions-like the future of slavery-that could otherwise trigger violent contests.

Sovereign of a Free People examines Lincoln's defense of majority rule, his understanding of its capabilities and limitations, and his hope that slavery could be peacefully and gradually extinguished through the action of a committed national majority. James Read argues that Lincoln offered an innovative account of the interplay between majorities and minorities in the context of crosscutting issues and shifting public opinion.

Read offers the first book focused on Lincoln's understanding of majority rule. He also highlights the similarities and differences between the threats to American democracy in Lincoln's time and in our own.

Title: Lord Jim at Home

Author: Dinah Brooke

Narrator: Ottessa Moshfegh

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:55:29

Language: English

Release date: 12-19-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Literary Fiction, Psychological

Summary:

'A brilliant, chilling picture of the English middle class at home.' -Illustrated London News

When Dinah Brooke's second novel, Lord Jim at Home, was first published in 1973, it was described as 'squalid and startling,' 'nastily horrific,' and a 'monstrous parody' of upper-middle class English life. It is the story of Giles Trenchard, who grows up isolated in an atmosphere of privilege and hidden violence; who goes to war, and returns; and then, one day-like the hero of Joseph Conrad's classic Lord Jim-commits an act that calls his past, his character, his whole world into question.

Out of print for nearly half a century (and never published in the United States), Lord Jim at Home reveals a daring writer long overdue for reappraisal, whose work has retained all its originality and power. As Ottessa Moshfegh writes in her foreword to this new edition, Brooke evokes childhood vulnerability and adult cruelty 'in a way that nice people are too polite to admit they understand.'

Summary:

From the author of the bestselling Devil's Dust MC series, M. N. Forgy and her mother give a whole new rush and spark in the bedroom.

I came to the Rush Riders Motorcycle Club to help a friend out, get them out of trouble, and before I knew it, I became a member. Fast women, drugs, whiskey, and fights were all things I expected and was ready for. A young woman walking into the club selling drugs wasn't. C was everywhere I didn't want her to be. Her naïve personality was resilient to my asshole attempts to run her off. The next thing I knew, I wanted more than to take her to my bed. We were like a match to gasoline, the combustion so powerful not even I could walk away. I wanted to dominate her, to make her mine, which would have been an amazing plan if our worlds hadn't collided, leaving me with having to choose between my club and her.

Can the rules of the Rush Riders MC bend to my will, or will the brotherhood mean nothing?

If they want a war, I'll give it to them.
