Set on contemporary Cape Cod, Dr. David Knight is a college professor and practicing psychologist drawn into the mystery surrounding the death of a patient; drugs, kidnappings, and police frame-ups cloud the landscape, but against all odds, the good doctor solves the crimes with help from unexpected quarters. In the tradition of the recently deceased novelists William Tappley and Philip Craig, the protagonist, Dr. David Knight, works to solve the mystery with wit and acumen. Possessing an esprit rivaling that of the late Robert Parker's renowned sleuth, Spenser, Dr. Knight is also somewhat of a wisenheimer who struggles against all authority figures from the college's department head to the clinics' administrators to the State Police. He knew Jimmy Farnsworth from the mental health clinic, but now learns of his death. Knight, interrupted in the middle of his lecture by the State Police, finds himself at the epicenter of a murder investigation. Torn between disclosing all he knows to the police and honoring the confidentiality that extends to the grave for his deceased patient, he sets out on his own quest to find the truth. The violence that consumed Jimmy spirals outward and out of control touching all aspects of Knight's life: college, clinical practice, and home. His relationship with the police sours as he learns they are angling for an expedient solution, which would incarcerate for life an innocent man whose only crime is mental illness. Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, Knight seeks a possible solution in the waters off Chatham in order to save his life and that of at least two others. This mystery/thriller is set on Cape Cod, and the action encompasses the entire cape from the canal bridges to the Atlantic. A diverse cast of characters adds depth, intrigue, and even romance to the frightening circumstances surrounding murder. Writing in the first person singular, Browne has produced a work of factual fiction based on his real-life knowledge of and experience in academia and clinical settings.

Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award Winner “An engaging and accessible account” for young readers about the Freedom Riders who led the landmark 1961 protests against segregation on buses (School Library Journal) On May 4, 1961, a group of thirteen black and white civil rights activists launched the Freedom Ride, aiming to challenge the practice of segregation on buses and at bus terminal facilities in the South. The Ride would last twelve days. Despite the fact that segregation on buses crossing state lines was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1946, and segregation in interstate transportation facilities was ruled unconstitutional in 1960, these rulings were routinely ignored in the South. The thirteen Freedom Riders intended to test the laws and draw attention to the lack of enforcement with their peaceful protest. As the Riders traveled deeper into the South, they encountered increasing violence and opposition. Noted civil rights author Larry Dane Brimner relies on archival documents and rarely seen images to tell the riveting story of the little-known first days of the Freedom Ride.

Moving through the jungle near the Cambodian border on May 18, 1967, a company of American infantry observed three North Vietnamese Army regulars, AK-47s slung over their shoulders, walking down a well-worn trail in the rugged Central Highlands. Startled by shouts of “Lai day, lai day” (“Come here, come here”), the three men dropped their packs and fled. The company commander, a young lieutenant, sent a platoon down the trail to investigate. Those few men soon found themselves outnumbered, surrounded, and fighting for their lives. Their first desperate moments marked the beginning of a series of bloody battles that lasted more than a week, one that survivors would later call “the nine days in May border battles.” Nine Days in May is the first full account of these bitterly contested battles. Part of Operation Francis Marion, they took place in the Ia Tchar Valley and the remote jungle west of Pleiku. Fought between three American battalions and two North Vietnamese Army regiments, this prolonged, deadly encounter was one of the largest, most savage actions seen by elements of the storied 4th Infantry Division in Vietnam. Drawing on interviews with the participants, Warren K. Wilkins recreates the vicious fighting in gripping detail. This is a story of extraordinary courage and sacrifice displayed in a series of battles that were fought and won within the context of a broader, intractable strategic stalemate. When the guns finally fell silent, an unheralded American brigade received a Presidential Unit Citation and earned three of the twelve Medals of Honor awarded to soldiers of the 4th Infantry Division in Vietnam.
