Wherever he goes, scandal and tragedy follows him. Set against the lush ambiance of the Deep South and the glittering backdrop of Fifth Avenue, Kurt flees North Carolina in 1958 after witnessing the vicious murder of his boyfriend by lawmen.

Her violent attempts to physically abuse her adorable little son, Tuffy, are thwarted when Kurt becomes his protector. David is forced to stay in Washington to comfort the President who is embroiled in the Watergate Scandal. Suddenly, the nation is shocked by a grotesque murder in Darling Place and the sensational trial and scandal that follows. It is this astounding scandal—of perverted love gone awry—which helps topple President Nixon from the White House—and brings tragedy to those left in Darling Place.

Book Description
After being shot and left to bleed out in an L.A. cemetery on New Year's Eve, P.I. Jackson Douglas wakes in the hospital, attempting to recall the face of the shooter and the events that brought him to the cemetery in the first place. As he recovers, he replays the previous three months, trying to figure out who wants him dead. East Coast mobsters? Corrupt Mexican businessmen? Someone (a scornful starlet, a creepy stalker) from his brief stint working in Hollywood? All of them have motives, but even as he relives his adventures-one of which led him to the cemetery-the pieces refuse to fall into place. Identifying his shooter isn't the only thing on Jackson's mind. For several months, he's been tormented by the choices (and their repercussions) he's made since becoming a private eye. Is it time for him to give up the business for good? Will his quest to find his shooter give him new purpose? And how will he respond when he finds out he may not be the shooter's only target?

Pages : 594
Book Description
A sweeping epic of two families—one Dutch, one English—from the time when New Amsterdam was a raw and rowdy settlement, to the triumph of the Revolution, when New York became a new nation’s city of dreams. In 1661, Lucas Turner, a barber surgeon, and his sister, Sally, an apothecary, stagger off a small wooden ship after eleven weeks at sea. Bound to each other by blood and necessity, they aim to make a fresh start in the rough and rowdy Dutch settlement of Nieuw Amsterdam; but soon lust, betrayal, and murder will make them mortal enemies. In their struggle to survive in the New World, Lucas and Sally make choices that will burden their descendants with a legacy of secrets and retribution, and create a heritage that sets cousin against cousin, physician against surgeon, and, ultimately, patriot against Tory. In what will be the greatest city in the New World, the fortunes of these two families are inextricably entwined by blood and fire in an unforgettable American saga of pride and ambition, love and hate, and the becoming of the dream that is New York City.
