Book Description
"Spite House," book seven of the Old Town mystery series, continues the series begun by John Adam Wasowicz in 2017 with "Daingerfield Island," which introduced readers to attorney Mo Katz and his entourage of crime solvers. Katz, now returned to private practice after service as U.S. Attorney, accepts the case of Roxie Neele, a local cremudgeon who lives in a 'spite house,' one of a handful of tiny structures built in Old Town in the 1800s to "spite" the neighbors. Roxie stands accused of murdering her neighbor Trudy Vine with a poison cupcake. Roxie's case unfolds against the backdrop of the ongoing killing spree of Rose Bud, a serial killer who terrorizes the community. Unknown to others, Roxie has elicited Mo's support in an effort to end Rose Bud's reign of terror. She believes that only Mo Katz possesses the legal acumen to spin a defense to catch a criminal in an unrelated case. Once Mo discerns Roxie's motivation, the twosome unite in a spirited effort to expose the serial killer, who is hiding in plain sight. "Spite House" combines courtroom scenes with a fast-paced narrative set in Old Town. The story culminates as Rose Bud -- whose identity has been revealed -- seeks to punish Roxie and Mo for unmasking him by burning down the spite house. "Spite House" is a continuation of the series based in Old Town Alexandria. Along with Mo Katz, the series features Deputy Police Chief Sherry Stone, private investigator Curtis Santana, legal researcher Mai Lin, city prosecutor David Reese, social worker Abby Snowe, and U.S. Senator Abraham Lowenstein. Additional titles in the series include "Jones Point" (2019), "Slaters Lane" (2020), "Roaches Run" (2021), Gadsby's Corner" (2022), and "Hazel Falls" (2023).

Book Description
Pvt. Robert Garwood was a jeep driver for a Marine Intelligence unit when he was taken captive by the Vietcong in 1965. Col. Tom McKenny was assigned to seek out and terminate American traitors--including a missing private named Garwood. In this incredible real-life account, Jensen-Stevenson exposes one of the cruelest cover-ups of the war, and pleads an eloquent case for the innocence of Bobby Garwood, who was finally returned to his country--more than six years after the last American POW had been allegedly released--not to face a hero's welcome, but unfounded accusations of treachery, a court-martial and disgrace.W. Norton.

Book Description
Poetry. "THE SPITE HOUSE is a book of dark vision and broad range, haunted by intimacy and anger, by a fierce fidelity to truth and to the elusiveness of truth, by emotional, spiritual, cultural, and political landscapes that are finally inseparable aspects of a single extended investigation. These pages' season is late winter, when only a few rare swellings on the branches hint that change may come, even as an encasing ice glitters its own shard-sharp illuminations" Jane Hirshfield."

Book Description
Falling in love is the ultimate payback in this delightful, breezy romcom about an interior designer who teams up with an enigmatic architect at her firm to get revenge on her ex the only way she knows how: by building a spite house next door “Filled with sizzling chemistry and delicious revenge, Love at First Spite had me smiling from start to finish. This is one debut you don’t want to miss!” —Kate Bromley, author of Talk Bookish to Me They say living well is the best revenge. But sometimes, spreading the misery seems a whole lot more satisfying. That’s interior designer Dani Porter’s justification for buying the vacant lot next to her ex-fiancé’s house…the house they were supposed to live in together, before he cheated on her with their Realtor. Dani plans to build a vacation rental that will a) mess with his view and his peace of mind and b) prove that Dani is not someone to be stepped on. Welcome to project Spite House. That plan quickly becomes complicated when Dani is forced to team up with Wyatt Montego, the handsome, haughty architect at her firm, and the only person available to draw up blueprints. Wyatt is terse and stern, the kind of man who eats his sandwich with a knife and fork. But as they spend time together on- and off-site, Dani glimpses something deeper beneath that hard veneer, something surprising, vulnerable, and real. And the closer she gets to her goal, the more she wonders if winning revenge could mean losing something infinitely sweeter… “Rollickingly, fast-paced… Fans of Emily Henry’s tales will enjoy Collins’ imaginative rom-com.” —Booklist “Wyatt is the perfect grumpy romance hero with a heart of gold. An enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story that’s sure to delight rom-com fans.” —Kirkus Reviews
