9780805082364

Fordlandia, the stunning, never before told story of Henry Ford’s quixotic attempt to recreate small-town America in the heart of the Amazon is receiving tons of buzz! The Canadian Press ran a piece on June 10th. Author Greg Grandin was a guest on CBC’s The Current on June 11th. The National Post ran a feature review on June 27th and Greg appeared on the Business News Network’s Squeezeplay on Friday, June 26th. Stay tuned for plenty more media, coming soon!

“The book includes many black-and-white photographs capturing the rough and the manicured sides of Fordlandia. There's even a little whimsy, as with a photo caption reading ‘New roads to roam: A Lincoln Zephyr stuck in        Fordlandia mud.’ It's a picture worth tens of thousands of words.”—National        Post

SWORN TO SILENCE
by Linda Castillo

(9780312374976, 31.95 bb )

9780312374976

In the sleepy rural town of Painters Mill, the Amish and “English” residents have lived side by side for two centuries. But sixteen years ago, a series of brutal murders shattered the peaceful farming community. Kate Burkholder, a young Amish girl, survived the terror of the Slaughterhouse Killer but came away from its brutality with the realization that she no longer belonged with the Amish. Now, a wealth of experience later, Kate has been asked to return to Painters Mill as Chief of Police. When a body is discovered in a snowy field, Kate vows to stop the killer before he strikes again. But to do so, she must betray both her family and her Amish past—and expose a dark secret that could destroy her.

This book has been receiving a great deal of praise from many authors including Lisa Scottoline (“Absolutely stunning... A perfectly crafted thriller”), Sandra Brown, and Chelsea Cain.

                                                  It recently received a great review from People magazine (3 ½ out of 4 stars!)

“Starring a tough, complicated cop who speaks Pennsylvania Dutch as smoothly as she downs a vodka, Silence is the opening salvo in what promises to be a gripping series.”

                                               

The Canadian press has just started to come in as well: “The story moves along at a fast clip, making this a tasty little beach read.”—Calgary Herald

Rizzo’s War by Lou Manfredo

The June 29th issue of Publishers Weekly featured Rizzo’s War by Lou Manfredo (9780312538057) as one of the Top 10 fall fiction debuts. Fans of the TV show The Wire will be interested to know that David Simon (creator of The Wire and Homicide: Life on the Street) recently praised Rizzo’s War:  

“Lou Manfredo gets it.  As a depiction of the byzantine, politicized existence of a working American police department, Rizzo's War stands as a valuable primer. This is good police work as it actually occurs — full of flaw and compromise, absent the pristine science of television procedurals, and bearing only vague resemblance to what any social or legal philosopher might define as justice.  With all of that said, though, sometimes good police work is nearly enough.”
