Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Margaret Maron returns with a thrilling new Deborah Knott mystery where Deborah, Dwight, and Sigrid once again work together to catch a killer, uncovering long-buried family secrets along the way. Judge Deborah Knott and her husband, Sheriff's Deputy Dwight Bryant, are back home in Colleton County amid family and old friends. But the winter winds have blown in several new faces as well. Lt. Sigrid Harald and her mother, Anne, a well-known photographer, are down from New York to visit Mrs. Lattimore, Anne's dying mother. When the group gathers for dinner at Mrs. Lattimore's Victorian home, they meet the enigmatic Martin Crawford, an ornithologist researching a book on Southern vultures. He's also Mrs. Lattimore's long-lost nephew. With her health in decline, Mrs. Lattimore wants to make amends with her family-a desire Deborah can understand, as she, too, works to strengthen her relationship with her young stepson, Cal. Anne is charmed by her mysterious cousin, but she cannot shake the feeling that there is something familiar about Martin . . . something he doesn't want her or anyone else to discover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this memoir, Sapelo Island native Cornelia Walker Bailey tells the history of her threatened Georgia homeland." "Off the coast of Georgia, a small close-knit community of African Americans traces their lineage to enslaved West Africans. Living on a barrier island in almost total isolation the people of Sapelo have been able to do what most others could not: They have preserved many of the folkways of their forebears in West Africa, believing in "signs and spirits and all kinds of magic."" "Cornelia Walker Bailey, a direct descendant of Bilali, the most famous and powerful enslaved African to inhabit the island, is the keeper of cultural secrets and the sage of Sapelo. In words that are poetic and straight to the point, she tells the story of Sapelo - including the Geechee belief in the equal power of God, "Dr. Buzzard" (voodoo), and the "Bolito Man" (luck)." "But her tale is not without peril, for the old folkways are quickly slipping away. The elders are dying, the young must leave the island to go to school and to find work, and the community's ability to live on the land is in jeopardy. The State of Georgia owns nine-tenths of the land and the pressure on the inhabitants is ever-increasing." "Cornelia Walker Bailey is determined to save the community, but time will tell whether the people of Sapelo will be able to retain the land, and the treasured culture which their forebears bestowed upon them more than two hundred years ago."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: Using a fresh approach that classifies birds according to their bioclimatic characteristics, Clive Finlayson views the history and distribution of Palearctic birds from a radical new angle. History and chance events play a central role in a story that has its origins before the asteroid impact that finished off the dinosaurs. In this book, Finlayson shows that the avifauna of the Palearctic long predates the glaciations of the last two million years, and had established itself gradually during the turbulent times of the Miocene and Pliocene, the lifting of Tibet and the drying of the continents having a major influence on these birds. Those that made it to the start of the glaciations were equipped to deal with whatever the climate could throw at them. They were the avian survivors, and they are still here with us today. Packed with figures and with a rich colour section, Avian Survivors tells the definitive story of the birds of the Palearctic, across space and time.

Book excerpt: This is the most terrifying urban tale since the original motion picture, Candyman. Kenny Robbins, Author of Nobodys Hostage The Lomax Brown projects in D-Town are experiencing a preponderance of brutal murders. Human carcasses and the dismembered remains of men of all ages are being found throughout the twin cities largest urban housing development, and in various locations on the citys eastside. Discovered in dumpsters, in alleyways, and within the units of the horde of massive buildings that comprise the infamous projects are the remnants of fathers, sons, grandsons, and husbands, deprived of their heads, genitals, and entrails by a mysterious and unseen evil that would come to be known as the eastside ripper. The killings began a month after the death of Lorenzo Ren Hickem, a long-term and well known resident of the Browns who was savagely murdered while soliciting the services of an A-Town prostitute on A-Towns notorious Nile Ave. After the killings had begun, rumors immediately began to circulate throughout the community about the late Rens vengeful revenant being the culprit, considering that very few if any believed that a normal person could be responsible for these deeds because of the brutal and heinous nature of the killings. And as the body count continues to pile up, the residents of the Browns and inhabitants of the entire eastside community find themselves on the perils of familial and communal collapse because of the mass hysteria that inevitably ensued. Unsurprisingly, the initial questions of who or what could it be? burgeoned into the portentous and foreboding who will be next?
