Book Description
Neal Egan's life has reached the tipping point. When the former cop turned golf hustler's beautiful and manipulative ex-wife is accused in the brutal shotgun slaying of her washed-up action movie star lover and becomes a fugitive from justice, Neal is hired by her wealthy and powerful father to track her down. Suspected by the police as an accomplice and tormented by the explosive end of his turbulent marriage Neal fears success; finding Desiree Diaz means confronting his own unresolved feelings about her and facing his profound guilt about his relationship with his own family. Aided by his friends: an eccentric recording studio owner and information broker, a brilliant renegade computer hacker, and a roly-poly lothario of a private investigator, he tries to reconcile his memory of Dez with the overwhelming evidence that she is a cold-blooded killer. His quest leads him into a violent world of methamphetamine-stoked bikers, Mexican Mafia thugs, and twisted internet pornography. To find his way out, he must put everything on the line: his freedom, his self-respect, and the love of the woman who has long been his loyal friend and roommate. A novel of suspense, mystery, betrayal and redemption, Shotgun Start plays out in the sun-baked high desert of New Mexico and in the seamy underbelly of its largest city, Albuquerque.

The magnificent second novel from the legendary author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Sailor Song is a wild-spirited and hugely powerful tale of an Oregon logging clan. A bitter strike is raging in a small lumber town along the Oregon coast. Bucking that strike out of sheer cussedness are the Stampers: Henry, the fiercely vital and overpowering patriarch; Hank, the son who has spent his life trying to live up to his father; and Viv, who fell in love with Hank's exuberant machismo but now finds it wearing thin. And then there is Leland, Henry's bookish younger son, who returns to his family on a mission of vengeance - and finds himself fulfilling it in ways he never imagined. Out of the Stamper family's rivalries and betrayals, Ken Kesey crafted a novel with the mythic impact of Greek tragedy.

A Life Impossible
Author: Steve Gleason
Publisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0593536819
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
From NFL player Steve Gleason, a powerful, inspiring memoir of love, heartbreak, resilience, family, and remarkable triumph in the face of ALS In 2011, three years after leaving the NFL, Steve Gleason was diagnosed with ALS, a terminal disease that takes away the ability to move, talk, and breathe. Doctors gave him three years to live. He was thirty-three years old. As Steve says, he is now ten years past his expiration date. His memoir is the chronicle of a remarkable life, one filled with optimism and joy, despite the trauma and pain and despair he has experienced. Writing using eye-tracking technology, Gleason covers his pre-ALS life through the highs and lows of his NFL career with the New Orleans Saints, where he made one of the most memorable plays in Saints history, leading to a victory in the first post-Katrina home game, uplifting the city, making him a hero, and reflected in a nine-foot bronze statue outside the Superdome. Then came his heartbreaking diagnosis. Gleason lost all muscle function, he now uses Stephen Hawking-like technology to communicate, and breathes with the help of a ventilator. This book captures Gleason and his wife Michel’s unmatched resilience as they reinvent their lives, refuse to succumb to despair, and face his disease realistically and existentially. This unsparing portrait argues that a person's true strength does not reside solely in one’s body but also in the ability to face unfathomable adversity and still be able to love and treasure life.
