Eye Wit

Description

A hot-air balloon piloted by a Gypsy crashes in New York’s Gramercy Park district. At virtually the same moment, Marco Fellini, wealthy art dealer and philanthropist, is murdered while target shooting in the private archery range atop his sumptuous brownstone.

NYPD’s 13th precinct has its hands full with these two high-profile cases, and its prime trio of detectives—Lieutenant Dan Riley, the brilliantly obsessive-compulsive Lieutenant Zoran Zeissing, and Civilian Consultant Dr. Yoko Kamimura, the team’s newest addition and Riley’s on-again, off-again lover—need to solve the cases. Both of them. Right now.

Their investigations take the unusual trio on dizzying chases: over Manhattan’s rooftops, through NYC’s iconic National Arts Club, around Central Park—even under Manhattan’s crowded streets—in hot pursuit of murderers as resourceful and determined as the detectives.

An enthusiastic review:
“A gripping mystery…I find the story enthralling, the characters believable. As a Romani person, I am especially impressed with the authors’ efforts to present Hans, the principal Romani character, in a way that portrays him so that readers understand his vendetta and the reasons behind it…I highly recommend this novel.”
—Ronald Lee, Author, "The Living Fire" and "A Romani Dictionary"

Lee at Chattanooga: A Novel of What Might Have Been

Description

One of the Great What-Ifs of the Civil War Of all the Confederate generals of the American Civil War, none is as revered as Robert E. Lee or as despised as Braxton Bragg. While Lee was invaluable to Jefferson Davis, Bragg was a longtime friend of the president and had his unwavering support.

Bragg was in a precarious position at Chattanooga in August 1863. The Union Army of the Cumberland, which had swept him out of Middle Tennessee only a month earlier, was poised before him again. With his depleted ranks of barely thirty thousand men, Bragg faced fifty thousand Federals. When he finally called for reinforcements, Richmond responded with a pledge of twenty thousand men, They were to come from Joseph E. Johnston’s army in Mississippi and Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia.

Lee dispatched James Longstreet’s corps, totaling some twelve thousand men. It was also rumored at the time that Davis pondered sending Lee. That is the possibility explored in Lee at Chattanooga. What might have happened if Lee had been sent to Chattanooga in September 1863?

Many intriguing variables are entertained in this thought-provoking answer to the question. These include such observations that Lee would have faced Grant six months sooner than he did. Possibly Lee’s mission could have paralleled his earlier campaign in western Virginia. Bragg might have resented Lee’s presence and relied on his close ties to Davis to limit Lee’s influence. Dennis McIntire has done an excellent job of researching the possibilities, and his narrative makes for enjoyable reading as the story is told with the authentic voice of his nineteenth-century characters.
