Book excerpt: Fans of Sheriff Walt Longmire will fall in love with Sergeant Maggie Blackthorne, the spirited protagonist with a tragic past and an acid wit. "...an engrossing neo-Western thriller in which justice and morality clash." -Foreword Reviews When Maggie Blackthorne returns to her hometown after nearly twenty years to serve as an Oregon State Police Sergeant, she expects to deal with the usual suspects-drunk drivers, oxy slingers, and the occasional rural scofflaw. But after she stumbles upon the bullet-ridden bodies of twin brothers, she realizes she's stepped into something much more sinister. With little homicide experience, Maggie and her partner, Trooper Hollis Jones, find themselves thrust into the murder investigation. And when a third man turns up dead, Maggie fears it's only a matter of time before the killer strikes again. As they race to piece together what happened, Maggie and Hollis discover a tangled web of theft, deceit and deals gone bad. Faced with multiple motives and several persons of interest, Maggie and Hollis finally catch a break-but are they willing to risk everything to put the murderer behind bars? ____________________________ Praise for DEAD POINT: "Lush descriptions, wonderful characters, and plenty of twists will have readers enthralled by Griffin-Valade's stellar debut." -LynDee Walker, Amazon Charts bestselling author of No Sin Unpunished "...a sure-footed, beautifully written debut novel...a strong, smart, lead, a setting that is almost a character itself...and a twisty plot that drives to an exciting, satisfying conclusion. I loved this book." -Susan Hunter, author of Dangerous Habits "... will have you seeing the rimrock, smelling the sage and greasewood, and feeling the dry cold of the eastern Oregon desert. An excellent read that will leave you wanting more." -James Chandler, author of Misjudged "Trash-talking, tough as leather, determined, and smart Maggie Blackthorne is just the kind of hero I want to follow in adventure after adventure.

Download or read book The Tijuana Book of the Dead written by Luis Alberto Urrea and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A gorgeous, engaging collection . . . [Urrea] captures the song and spirit of people who might otherwise be invisible . . . As difficult as the subject matter may be, the writing is radiant, showing how the worth of human beings can’t be dimmed by a border fence or hot-button politics." —The Washington Post An exquisitely composed collection of poetry that examines life at the border from the New York Times bestselling author of Good Night Irene and The House of Broken Angels, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in fiction Celebrated author Luis Alberto Urrea was inspired to create this work largely in response to the book bannings and abolition of Mexican-American studies in Arizona and as a cry against the current political climate for immigrants. Weaving English and Spanish languages as fluidly as he blends cultures of the southwest, Urrea offers a tour of Tijuana, spanning from Skid Row, to the suburbs of East Los Angeles, to the stunning yet deadly Mojave Desert, to Mexico and the border fence itself. Mixing lyricism and colloquial voices, mysticism and the daily grind, Urrea offers a deep and moving meditation on the blurring borders in a melting pot society.
