Fin & Lady
by Cathleen SchineComic and romantic, joyous and moving, Fin & Lady is a love story--a love story about a brother and sister who must form their own unconventional bond in increasingly unconventional times. It's 1964. Eleven-year-old Fin and his glamorous, worldly older half sister, Lady, have just been orphaned, and Lady, whom Fin hasn't seen in six years, is now his legal guardian and his only hope. That means Fin is uprooted from a small dairy farm in rural Connecticut, landing in Greenwich Village smack in the middle of the swinging sixties. He soon learns that Lady--giddy, careless, and obsessed with being free--is as much his responsibility as he is hers. So begins Fin & Lady, the lively, spirited new novel by Cathleen Schine, the author of the bestselling The Three Weissmanns of Westport. Fin and Lady lead their lives against the background of the sixties, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War--Lady pursued by ardent, dogged suitors, Fin determined to protect his impulsive sister from them and from herself. As Lady's itinerant streak leads the pair to Italy and eventually to Capri, their trials force them to take stock of what really matters, and to ask: What does it mean to be a family?
Final Assignment
by Linwood BarclayA standalone murder mystery story set in Promise Falls from the author of FIND YOU FIRSTFor ex-cop turned private investigator Cal Weaver, this was not exactly the biggest case of his career; in fact, he only took it on because Greta Carlson was a friend of a friend. Greta's sixteen-year-old son Chandler was in trouble at school because of a short story he'd written. Admittedly the story featured a boy bludgeoning his best friend to death with a baseball bat because of an argument over a girl. But still, a story? Mrs Carlson wanted Cal to dig up some dirt on the high school principal she could use as leverage to get Chandler reinstated, and Cal told her in no uncertain terms that he wasn't going to go down that road. But that wasn't quite the end of the story. Chandler's best friend Mike seems to be missing, and at the same time Cal can't shake the feeling that Chandler may have had some help in completing his writing assignment. Life, it seems, may have imitated art after all, but figuring out who's the author and who are just characters in the drama will take all of Cal's critical skills to determine.
