A former circus performer and criminology professor becomes a PI in “one of the best detective novels of the year” (TheNew York Times Book Review). With a genius IQ, a past career as a circus acrobat, and a black belt in karate, criminology professor Dr. Robert Frederickson—better known as “Mongo the Magnificent”—has a decidedly unusual background for a private investigator. He also just so happens to be a dwarf. Now a detective in New York City, Mongo is hired by the widow of a famous architect to find out if her husband is really dead—because a new building just went up and it looks like his work. As Mongo begins to uncover the surprising truth, his investigation gives a whole new meaning to an architect’s façade. The intrepid sleuth will need all of his extraordinary skills to find his man without losing his own life, as some very powerful forces want to send him back to the drawing board. With a freewheeling blend of mystery and science fiction elements, author George C. Chesbro introduces the man called Mongo, “the most engaging detective in decades” (Library Journal). Shadow of a Broken Man is the 1st book in the Mongo Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Alvin R. Witherspoon is the eldest of 7 kids born to Marsha and Frank Witherspoon of Nashville Tennessee. Alvin grew up under the strictest of guidelines from a couple of very strong disciplinarians. At an early age Alvin fell into parenthood as he assumed his fatherhood duties of his first son Lajon. Realizing that his actions was now going to be viewed and possibly copied by his first son, he started to look at life a little more seriously than he had ever done before. Seven years later, Reginald, his second son was born. That's when he knew there was no doubt that the things in the past that had bothered him, would be just that, in the past, and that his life had to be filled at that point with positive examples in which his two boys would have to follow. It would be many, many years before Alvin would start to pen the emotions and thoughts that were bottled up inside him. Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere (although he really knows where it came from) he found the avenue from inside, which would allow him the ability to help free himself from some of the pain that had him bound for so many year. After finally coming to grips with the things that bothered him about some of the aspects of his past, the unthinkable happened. The one thing that no parent wants to deal with while they walk this earth."THE LOST OF A CHILD." Alvin writes about the many struggles that both he and his wife would encounter on a daily basis, as they fight to maintain a level of sanity that only those that has gone through a life-altering event such as this can truly understand. Alvin has always said, "As where some of my poems may be based on some of the suppressed thoughts and feelings of my life. It hasnever been my intent to hurt anyone by the poems that I write, although some of my friends and family that are very near and dear to me, may see themselves in my writings."

A stunning, powerful debut novel set against the backdrop of the Cambodian War, perfect for fans of Chris Cleave and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie For seven-year-old Raami, the shattering end of childhood begins with the footsteps of her father returning home in the early dawn hours bringing details of the civil war that has overwhelmed the streets of Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital. Soon the family's world of carefully guarded royal privilege is swept up in the chaos of revolution and forced exodus. Over the next four years, as she endures the deaths of family members, starvation, and brutal forced labour, Raami clings to the only remaining vestige of childhood - the mythical legends and poems told to her by her father. In a climate of systematic violence where memory is sickness and justification for execution, Raami fights for her improbable survival. Displaying the author's extraordinary gift for language, In the Shadow of the Banyanis testament to the transcendent power of narrative and a brilliantly wrought tale of human resilience. 'In the Shadow of the Banyanis one of the most extraordinary and beautiful acts of storytelling I have ever encountered' Chris Cleave, author of The Other Hand 'Ratner is a fearless writer, and the novel explores important themes such as power, the relationship between love and guilt, and class. Most remarkably, it depicts the lives of characters forced to live in extreme circumstances, and investigates how that changes them. To read In the Shadow of the Banyan is to be left with a profound sense of being witness to a tragedy of history' Guardian 'This is an extraordinary debut … as beautiful as it is heartbreaking' Mail on Sunday
