<p>Review      "Ms. Cottrel's mesmerizing tale has rich, multi-layered details and strong, fascinating characters. If some find the violence graphic, it is disturbing perhaps because such inhumane things still happen today. Ms. Cottrel is a talent to watch." -- Romantic Times, October 1999      Product Description      The time is 1069. The so-called Norman Conquest has been raging for three years, but the Saxons refuse to surrender. In Green Saxon Darkness, Cottrel tells the tale of the Saxon rebellion, led by Hereward the Wake, the last of the legendary Saxon knights. Intrigue, battles and romance abound as Hereward's cousin Alyce, a grand-daughter of Canute and one of the fiercest of the English rebels, finds herself caught in a dark secret that pitches her head-long into the middle of a love triangle, with the future of her beloved country at stake.      About the Author      Pamela Cottrel writes for The New Carlisle Sun in Ohio, where she lives with her husband and daughters. Green Saxon Darkness is the first novel in a planned trilogy about the Norman Conquest and the legend of Hereward the Wake.</p>

Unabridged 6 Audio CD Edition Is the shroud of Turin -- the linen cloth reputed to be the garment Jesus was buried in -- a medieval hoax, an occult phenomenon, a proof of Jesus' resurrection? To answer these questions Robert K. Wilcox traveled halfway around the world interviewing sindonologists and sindonophiles (sindon is the Greek word for shroud) as well as shroud quacks, and consulting specialists in the half-dozen sciences touching upon the shroud. Before you accept or reject Wilcox's proposed shroud theories, meet the people he interviewed, weigh the written evidence, consider the icons and mandylions, contemplate the contemporary reconstructions of the man in the shroud; then -- an only then -- will you be able to decide for your self whether the shroud of Turin is a medieval hoax, an occult phenomenon, or proof of Jesus' resurrection.

A Girl Named Sooner

Sooner was a little girl. Named because she'd been born too soon after a contrived marriage, she spent the first nine years of her life as the virtual slave of a bootlegging, bible-quoting and embittered old woman. Her existence was in drudgery, in loneliness and in the dumb acceptance of things as they were. Her compensation was in the affinity she developed with the animal friends she found in the woods. This is a novel of relationships and reactions, of how Sooner's care for a hurt animal attracted the attention of a perceptive sheriff and a lonely veterinarian and his wife. It is a story of change and mutual growth, as the untutored girl goes to live first in the home and then in the hearts of this childless couple. It is the revelation of the complexities of a woman's love, whose barrenness seemed an unendurable wall until the act of giving freely made her free too. It is a book to be savored slowly, with laughter, tears, empathy and final satisfaction. A GIRL NAMED SOONER was made into a TV Movie - IBM/NBC Special, adapted by Suzanne Clauser, from her novel and starred Lee Remick, Richard Crenna and Cloris Leachman; endorsed by the NEA and nominated by Writers Guild of America as outstanding adaptation of the year.

Beginning with an ominous invasion of hornets and ending in a tragedy that tears apart her haunted family, the summer of 1968 - the summer she turned fifteen - is one that Brantsche Szuster will never forget. Summer Long-a-coming, Barbara Finkelstein's shattering first novel, is a story of victims of Hitler's war whom history has mostly overlooked: the children of Holocaust survivors. For Brantzche's parents, who have come to southern New Jersey to run a poultry farm, the war remains, after twenty years, the central, obsessive event of their lives. Driven by memories of persecution, they have made their home a stronghold against a world they are convinced will not and cannot ever welcome Jews. For the younger Szusters, though, that home has become a prison. This remarkable debut is above all a book of uncommon power. By turns blackly humorous, blisteringly angry, and profoundly moving, it looks unflinchingly to the heart of a family, finding there both pain and the healing power of forgiveness.

Listening, Whistler starts dreaming again, about lost love reclaimed, a boy found, perhaps a nice little house for them all. So he promises Faye he'll find her boy. Meanwhile, Inch has been paroled, seeking recompense - or even revenge.

Mystery

At the corner of Hollywood and Vine, the news walked straight through the doors of Gentry's Coffee Shop and sat down at Whistler's table.  The facts: a boy named Kenny Gotch, a.k.a. Harriet LaRue, was dead, leaving behind a clue to a murder Whistler would rather forget.  Whistler once worked alongside police detective Isaac Canaan, searching for whoever stole and mutilated Canaan's little niece and left her body draped over a tombstone in Hollywood Cemetery.  Now Whistler sees a chance to solve the crime that still plagues Canaan's soul.  Few know more about Kenny than that he favored purple dresses and rhinestone shoes.  His phone was on auto-dial to a boy called Pooch, a professor who looks like Howdy-Doody, and a child-snatching Satanist, but not to Mary Bucket, the pretty nurse who was there when Kenny died...and who has what it takes to put Whistler under her spell.  Yet once Canaan himself starts following Kenny's trail of dangerous connections, nothing can keep Whistler from shadowing his progress through a nether world of glittering lies and faded promise, where the only thing that can't be bought is hype.
