Title: Bad Law

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Will Nathan

Narrator: Diane Havens

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-20-10

Publisher: Ferry Press

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

From Oscar Wilde to Thomas Wolfe to Jack Kerouac, the roman à clef has been a sturdy literary tradition. In Bad Law, Will Nathan takes the genre into new territory in his second novel populated by the thinly veiled icons of the local Bar and judiciary.

With a cast of characters to rival War and Peace, Nathan runs the gamut from delicious lampoon to brutal assault, as he mercilessly sketches many of the characters he has encountered in several decades of white-shoe business law and civil litigation. The central character, a towering sociopath who personifies the late-millennial Gold Rush mentality that took hold at one of the City's oldest and best-established firms, leading to its downfall, is presented in a relentlessly scathing portrait of hubris run amok.

Critic Reviews:

Hard cases, it is said, make bad law. But they can also make good novels, and Will Nathan has done so with a gripping tale of the seamy side of law practice; replete with ethical crises and missteps; heartless firm politics; and the brutal, fragile road to success. The story may make you uncomfortable because the fiction is only a disguise for reality, a reality many of us have faced. But, fiction or fact, Mr. Nathans crisply written, insightful and unyielding novel holds you until its conclusionand even then it stays with you. (Jerome Shestack, Esq., former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, Past President of the American Bar Association, and 2006 winner of the American Bar Association Medal)

A wonderful collection of Cecelias short stories.

As the smell of pinecones and cinnamon fill the air, and the plump turkey roasts in the oven, the final preparations for Christmas day have begun, just as they do every year. The tree lights are twinkling and the mince pies are cooked, and there is just one final tradition to carry out before the Christmas magic can begin.

This year though, something is different, and it's time for life-long traditions to change. For years the family has followed the same pattern, not changing their routine through the generations; babies have grown into teens and then adults, and then eventually have had children of their own, but one thing always remained constant throughout.

Time has finally caught up with the family and this year the new traditions must be formed.

Publisher's Summary:

Its an early autumn day like any other as Miles Avery drives his wife, Jacqueline, to the station. Theres a smattering of rain in the air, the traffic is in its usual snarl, and the radios churning out the latest news. Nothing remarkable crops up in conversation, nor do either of them appear anything other than their normal selves. At the station Miles draws up just past the taxi rank. Jacqueline gets out, takes an overnight bag from the back seat, then turns towards the platforms. This is the last anyone sees of her.

Three weeks after her disappearance, Miles calls the police. Enquiries are made, but there is no evidence of her boarding a train, or even entering the station. Very soon the finger of suspicion starts to turn towards Miles, and as dark secrets from the past start to merge with those of the present, the great love he has been trying to protect is not only revealed but thrown into terrible jeopardy...

Title: Safe from the Neighbors

Author: Steve Yarbrough

Narrator: T. Ryder Smith

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 06-22-10

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

This tightly constructed tale by PEN/Faulkner finalist Steve Yarbrough tells the story of a Mississippi history teacher whos determined to unravel the truth about one tragic day in 1962.

Luke May teaches local historyhis lifelong obsessionat his old high school in Loring, Mississippi. Having been mentored by his hometown newspapers publisher, a survivor of the civil rights turmoil, he now passes these stories along to students far too young to have experienced or, in some cases, even heard about them.

But when a long-lost friend suddenly returns to Loring, where years ago her family had been shattered by an act of spectacular violence, Luke begins to realize that his connection with her runs deeper, both personally and politically, than he ever imagined. Just children in 1962, they had no sense of what was happening when James Merediths enrollment at Ole Miss provoked a bloody new battle in the old Civil War, much less its impact on their fathers ambiguous friendship.

Once his daughters leave for Ole Miss, and with his marriage at an impasse, Lukes investigation of this decades-old trauma soon spills over into his own life. With his parents unwilling, or unable, to help him unlock secrets whose existence hed never suspected, this amateur historian is soon entirely consumed by an obscure past he can neither explain nor controla gripping reminder that the past isnt dead, or even past.

Critic Reviews:

Very few writers understand the complex history and maddening social order of the Mississippi Delta. For Steve Yarbrough, though, its home turf. He is wickedly observant, funny, cynical, evocative, and he possesses a gift that cannot be taught: he can tell a story. (John Grisham)

Yarbrough, who has been likened to Faulkner for his attention to Mississippi (and whose novel Prisoners of War was a finalist for the 2005 PEN/Faulkner award) nimbly illustrates what the past can tell us about the present. (The New York Times Book Review)

The stories converge in a symphonic crescendo that reveals the far-flung origins of Americas endlessly romantic soul and exposes the source of Honor and Milos own love.

A beautiful mystery and a meditation on loveits power and limitationsAmerican Music is a brilliantly original novel told in Jane Mendelsohns distinctive, mesmerizing style.

Critic Reviews:

An intricate puzzle of haunting, far-reaching, secretly connected love stories.Each milieu is sensuously rendered, while music, especially jazz, serves as the unifying force, and the key to surviving epic desire and loss. (Booklist)

Luminous.[The] relationship between a wounded Iraq War veteran and his physical therapist releases a torrent of memories, dreams, and alternate lives.A magically consoling reminder that beneath the starkest cases of wounding and healing is the music of love lost and found. (Kirkus Reviews)
