Book Description
Just when I thought things in my New Orleans suburb were starting to settle down, a crazy mayoral election throws a wrench into the works. Mayor Travis was used to applause from his days as a high school football star, but he’s more likely to hear boos nowadays, since his rival is painting him as soft on crime. Beulah’s recent uptick in crime has the mayor losing the case for re-election, and it doesn’t help when the other candidate starts getting threats she’s happy to lay at his feet. Mayor Travis swears his innocence, but some of his constituents are happy to believe he’s guilty. And yet, the rival candidate has secrets of her own, secrets that could come back to haunt her. Can Chonks and I unravel the mystery of where these threats before the ballots are cast? Can we save Beulah the chaos of a contested election?

Book Description
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY • ONE OF ESQUIRE’S BEST BIOGRAPHIES OF ALL TIME General Alex Dumas is a man almost unknown today, yet his story is strikingly familiar—because his son, the novelist Alexandre Dumas, used his larger-than-life feats as inspiration for such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. But, hidden behind General Dumas's swashbuckling adventures was an even more incredible secret: he was the son of a black slave—who rose higher in the white world than any man of his race would before our own time. Born in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), Alex Dumas made his way to Paris, where he rose to command armies at the height of the Revolution—until he met an implacable enemy he could not defeat. The Black Count is simultaneously a riveting adventure story, a lushly textured evocation of 18th-century France, and a window into the modern world’s first multi-racial society. TIME magazine called The Black Count "one of those quintessentially human stories of strength and courage that sheds light on the historical moment that made it possible." But it is also a heartbreaking story of the enduring bonds of love between a father and son.

Book Description
Bodies are piling up, and I’m in charge of figuring out why. I can’t help it! There are innocent people being accused. And don’t get me started on the heat and humidity in Beulah. The thick cloud of death is only surpassed by the constant hot flashes induced by the weather. I could keep going. I should actually. After almost being killed by a history-obsessed realtor that wanted my inherited house for herself, I’m ready to get out of Dodge. Unfortunately, this new situation is a bit more personal in nature. A guy that disappeared a decade ago was discovered dead in this new case. Where has he been for the last ten years? And one of my friends just happens to have the murder weapon. You can’t make these things up. Not even in the pages of a good mystery novel. Speaking of books, my new book club is at the center of my thoughts as the judgmental kitty and I traverse this new mystery. The members of the club are fan-girling over the town’s new resident, but the man is up to no good! I can feel it. With all this craziness, it isn’t easy being a sleuth right now, but Chonks will help me navigate the twists and turns of this gritty mystery, as long as we’re home in time for his dinner. That is a must.

Book Description
The fascinating and heartbreaking account of the first publicly exhibited captive killer whale — a story that forever changed the way we see orcas and sparked the movement to save them. Killer whales had always been seen as bloodthirsty sea monsters. That all changed when a young killer whale was captured off the west coast of North America and displayed to the public in 1964. Moby Doll — as the whale became known — was an instant celebrity, drawing 20,000 visitors on the one and only day he was exhibited. He died within a few months, but his famous gentleness sparked a worldwide crusade that transformed how people understood and appreciated orcas. Because of Moby Doll, we stopped fearing “killers” and grew to love and respect “orcas.” Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute

Book Description
Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantès is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas’ epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s. While in prison, Dantès befriends an older prisoner who educates him and reveals the location of a vast treasure on the island of Monte Cristo. After a daring escape, Dantès acquires the treasure and transforms himself into the wealthy and enigmatic Count of Monte Cristo. He then embarks on a quest for vengeance against those who betrayed him, using his newfound wealth and influence to manipulate their lives. The novel is renowned for its intricate plot, rich character development, and themes of justice, revenge, and redemption. It explores the moral consequences of seeking revenge and the complexities of human nature. "The Count of Monte Cristo" has been adapted into numerous films, television series, and stage productions, cementing its status as one of the most enduring and beloved works of literature.

Book Description
This vintage book contains the second volume of Alexandre Dumas's famous adventure novel, "The Count of Monte Cristo." Set in early nineteenth century France during the time of the Bourbon Restoration, it tells the story of a man's wrongful imprisonment, his escape, and his indefatigable quest for revenge. A masterful tale of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy, and forgiveness, "The Count of Monte Cristo" is rightfully one the most famous novels of all time, and deserves a place on every bookshelf. Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was a famous French writer. He is best remembered for his exciting romantic sagas, including "The Three Musketeers" and "Chicot the Jester." Despite making a great deal of money from his writing, Dumas was almost perpetually penniless thanks to his extravagant lifestyle. His novels have been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over 200 motion pictures. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing this antiquarian book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Book Description
"Enter the intense world of both the dogs and people who form the K9 corps. Every dog has its own unique personality." —Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation and Animals Make us Human An acclaimed poet, Rachel Rose never expected to spend her nights careening along the roads in high-speed chases or searching the woods for armed suspects. Yet once she decided to meet the people who devoted their lives to police K9 units, she found herself signing up for the ride-alongs, training runs, and other challenges that these courageous people–and canines–face on a daily basis. In The Dog Lover Unit, Rose introduces readers to police dogs and their handlers in the United States, Canada, Britain, and France (where their group's official name translates as "the dog lover unit"). She’s there to catch a criminal with Constable Matt Noel and Blackie; to patrol with Sheriff Gene Davis and Gunner; and to witness the tragic funeral of Constable Dave Ross, where K9 Danny follows the coffin, looking for his master. With insight, humor, and awe, this book reveals the feats that these human and canine teams accomplish, and the emotional and physical risks that they take for one another, and for us.
