Ghost Written, No Such Agency, Pigeon Detectives

Fiction

Heaven's Keep by William Kent Krueger. Krueger's books are supposed to be pretty good. The body of Cork O'Connor's wife went missing in a plane crash in the Wyoming mountains. A few months later he learns the pilot may have been a fraud. Cork goes looking for evidence and runs into DANGER!

206 Bones by Kathy Reichs. Temperance Brennan awakes, with her hands and feet bound, in a cold, dark, enclosed place. She traces back through a series of Montreal area murders and the possibility that a colleague may have sabotaged laboratory work. Will she escape the DANGER?!

Spartan Gold by Clive Cussler with Grant Blackwood. The Fargos, a fortune hunting wife and husband, find a German U-Boat in a Maryland swamp that holds a map piece leading to an ancient treasure. A rich half-Persian, half-Russian millionaire wants the treasure and puts the Fargos in DANGER!

Large Print

Smash Cut by Sandra Brown. Lawyer takes on case of a nephew murdering his own wealthy uncle. The uncle's mistress tries to interfere with the lawyer's case. Mistress is caught in several lies and puts everyone in DANGER!

Pigeon Detectives

Wait For Me by The Pigeon Detectives. I'm in DANGER! of listening to this album and Richard Thompson music all afternoon instead of weeding old books.

NonFiction

Beading with Filigree by Cynthia Deis. A replacement for a copy that was either mangled through negligence or mutilated when someone stole some pages. If I find the person responsible she is in DANGER!

Unmasked: the final years of Michael Jackson by Ian Halperin. I heard a radio interview with Halperin. Halperin intended an expose on Jackson that would give final proof of Jackson's guilt as a pedophile. Instead, Halperin became convinced of Jackson's innocence of all sex allegations. Halperin did find out Jackson was gay and weird and in DANGER! from drug abuse.
Post-death updates to the book seem to have been very rushed. The picture captions are incomplete and resultingly bizarre.

The Secret Sentry: the untold story of the National Security Agency by Matthew M. Aid. The history of the super-secret NSA from it's post-war inception to today's mission of protecting us from DANGER!
