Book Description
The Queens are intrigued when a grisly murder mars a small town’s Christmas It’s Christmas in Chicago, and Inspector Richard Queen is enjoying a busman’s holiday at a conference on gangland violence—but his son, amateur sleuth Ellery, is bored silly. Until, that is, Ellery reads of an unusual killing in rural Arroyo, West Virginia: A schoolmaster has been found beheaded and crucified. Ellery hustles his father into his roadster and heads east, since there is nothing he’d like better for Christmas than a juicy, gruesome puzzle. When the Queens arrive in Arroyo, they learn that the victim was an eccentric atheist, but not the sort to make enemies. What initially looks to be the work of a sadistic cult turns out to be something far more sinister. In the months ahead, more victims will turn up all over the world—all killed in the same horrifying manner. It will take several bodies before Queen divines the clue that unlocks the mystery of the Christmas crucifixion.

(September 9, 2008) - Author Lawrence Schoonover¿s bestselling works of biographical fiction are again available to the reading public in new editions. His historical fiction sold worldwide with descriptions so accurate his books were used in school history classes. After more than 30 years out of print hundreds of public and school libraries still offer his books, and they¿re traded on the internet around the world. Publisher George Scott is Schoonover¿s great-nephew. He was inspired by these books and determined to see them back in print for another generation of readers. ¿He had a wonderful storytelling sense and could really keep you turning the pages,¿ according to his editor in a 1980 Newsday interview. ¿He was a marvelous researcher and a good stylist.¿ Schoonover was born in Iowa, graduated from University of Wisconsin and moved to New York to work for a large advertising agency. The first of nine novels in The Schoonover Collection is Queen¿s Cross, the story of Isabella of Castile, Spain¿s greatest monarch. Her dedication to her people and her religion led Christian Europe to become a powerful political force. The epic re-conquest of Grenada from the Moors in 1492 is one of the most important events of European history and is still referenced by Islamic leaders in their struggles against the West.

Book Description
ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF 2020 LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 JOYCE CAROL OATES PRIZE A lush, glittering short story collection exploring female obsession and desire by an award-winning author Roxane Gay calls "a consummate storyteller." From Kentucky to the California desert, these forty-two short stories -- ranging from the 80's and 90's to present day -- expose the hearts of girls and women in moments of obsessive desire and fantasy, wildness and bad behavior, brokenness and fearlessness, and more. On a hot July night, teenage girls sneak out of the house to meet their boyfriends by the train tracks. Members of a cult form an unsettling chorus as they proclaim their adoration for the same man. A woman luxuriates in a fantasy getaway to escape her past. A love story begins over cabbages in a grocery store, and a laundress's life is consumed by her obsession with a baseball star. After the death of a sister, two high school friends kiss all night and binge-watch Winona Ryder movies. Leesa Cross-Smith's sensuous stories -- some long, some gone in a flash, some told over text and emails -- drench readers in nostalgia for summer nights and sultry days. They recall the intense friendships of teenage girls and the innate bonds between mothers, the first heady rush of desire, and the pure exhilaration of womanhood, all while holding up the wild souls of women so they can catch the light.
