A Brazilian bestseller, this sophisticated story of murder, sex, and corruption introduces a riveting new crime series. In a parking garage in the center of Rio de Janeiro, corporate executive Ricardo Carvalho is found dead in his car, a bullet in his head. It appears that he has been robbed and murdered. But the clues are few. The gun and his briefcase are nowhere to be found -- just the kind of case that is always assigned to Inspector Espinosa. Not your typical detective, the world-weary Espinosa has the mind of a philosopher, the heart of a romantic, and enough experience to realize that things are rarely as they first seem. As Espinosa attempts to unravel the mystery of what really happened to Carvalho and his secretary, Rose, who disappeared shortly afterward, he discovers that the businessman had recently taken out a million-dollar life insurance policy. And there's another complication: Espinosa's attraction to Carvalho's beautiful widow, who is also one of the prime suspects. When two more bodies turn up, Espinosa is forced to shift the investigation into high gear before anyone else becomes a casualty. Hurtling to a surprising and satisfying conclusion, The Silence of the Rain is an intelligent, unconventional detective novel with a distinctly Latin American flavor and a colorful, exciting locale. In Espinosa, America is about to meet an irresistible new sleuth.

Silence in the Rain was written from my thoughts, feelings, heart, and mind. These words came from my innermost being and are written to inform the reader on life, love, friendship as well as joys, sorrows, hurt, pain and my depressive state. "Silence in the Rain" shows how I kept my silence when I was going through the rain of personal relationships - I kept silent. As the rain was falling down on me: falling from my mind; falling from my eyes; I kept silent I didn't talk to anyone about my innermost thoughts and feelings. I didn't express them openly. I kept them to myself and then began to write them down in my daily journal. Whether I was happy, sad, hurt, depressed, angered, or upset I wrote about it. It didn't matter if I just wanted to stand on the mountaintop or even drift into mid-air, I wrote it down. I guess one would say that I did indeed tell something - or shall I say someone - Myself - my Journal. These poems will not only inspire you, giving you good words of knowledge, but will inform you as well on different emotions that occur along life's journey.

When I was 5 years old my father inserted mashed chillies into my genitals and burned my eyes with a flaming torch.’ Life Behind the Silence is a heartbreaking and inspiring autobiography which gives hope to children and women who have been abused. Gina Azizah’s Malaysian childhood was not filled with toys, presents and love, it was filled with physical, sexual and mental abuse from a monsterous father and a dysfunctional family. Her childhood was punctated by episodes of abuse from the very people who should have been caring for her – even her grandfather (a Muslim priest) tried to rape her. Gina had no one she could tell about her abuse – who would believe her word against that of respected members of the community? So Gina has now chosen to give voice to the darkness of her childhood in her memoir Life Behind the Silence.Gina’s story proves that if you believe in yourself and are strong, anything is possible.

In the border of things that we all share within, I have included fragments of my island heritage of the Philippines. This is a collection of poetry that spans from 1994-2009. Although, it is a slim collection, I hope that the reader will find within its pages some luminosity. For the women both here in the Americas and in the Pacific Islands who continue to live their lives with courage and strength. For my Muse in whatever form she takes in this lifetime or the next. Salamat gid. For my sister and my family: you have my heart. -SP
