In May 2012 he was sworn in as the 29th Chief Justice serving as leader of Georgia's judicial system until Dec. 31 2012 ; In 323 B.C.E having conquered Persia Alexander the Great set his sights on Arabia then suddenly succumbed to a strange fever. Locating his final resting place-unknown to this day-remains a tantalizing goal for both archaeologists and treasure hunters. Now the quest for this coveted prize is about to heat up. And Cotton Malone-former U.S. Justice Department agent turned rare-book dealer-will be drawn into an intense geopolitical chess game. After narrowly escaping incineration in a devastating fire that consumes a Danish museum Cotton learns from his friend the beguiling adventurer Cassiopeia Vitt that the blaze was neither an accident nor an isolated incident. As part of campaign of arson intended to mask a far more diabolical design buildings across Europe are being devoured by infernos of unnatural strength. And from the ashes of the U.S.S.R. a new nation has arisen: Former Soviet republics have consolidated into the Central Asian Federation. At its helm is Supreme Minister Irina Zovastina a cunning despot with a talent for politics a taste for blood sport and the single-minded desire to surpass Alexander the Great as history's ultimate conqueror. Backed by a secret cabal of powerbrokers the Federation has amassed a harrowing arsenal of biological weapons. Equipped with the hellish power to decimate other nations at will only one thing keeps Zovastina from setting in motion her death march of domination: a miraculous healing serum kept secret by an ancient puzzle and buried with the mummified remains of Alexander the Great-in a tomb lost to the ages for more than 1500 years. Together Cotton and Cassiopeia must outrun and outthink the forces alliedagainst them. Their perilous quest will take them to the shores of Denmark deep into the venerated monuments of Venice and finally high inside the desolate Pamir mountains of Central Asia to unravel a riddle whose solution could destroy or save millions of people-depending on who finds the lost tomb first. ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> Ballantine Books, New York, ©2007 hardcover

Wallach Art Gallery Columbia University New York: 15 September - 21 November 1998 ; "The reputation of William Hogarth 1697-1764 rests largely on his pictorial stories a series of engravings that he called "modern Moral Subjects" the most famous being the Harlot's and the Rake's Progress. In this catalog David Bindman works backward from Hogarth's reputation today--where he is seen by some as a conservative populist and by others as a political radical--and examines his impact on various artists over the past three centuries. Bindman also sets Hogarth's prints firmly in their historical context discussing the artist's public and the different influences on his work from Roman satire to the politics of the day. The result is an engaging and insightful portrayal not only of William Hogarth but also of the middle years of the eighteenth century. Art lovers will enjoy this book but so too will anyone with an interest in the literature and history of the mid-eighteenth century.

Matthew Rey has been kidnapped while on business in Columbia's exotic port city of Cartagena. The ransom demand of three million dollars is far more than the Rey family can ever hope to raise. Fortunately Matthew had purchased an insurance policy to protect against just such a threat. Unfortunately the kidnappers seem to know all about the policy and the insurance company suspecting fraud is refusing to pay out. With nowhere to turn Nick links up with Alex a beautiful street-smart woman who may be the only person capable of negotiating with Matthew's abductors. But Nick soon discovers that the gravest dangers to him and his family are not the kidnappers and their guns but the men in suits: lawyers to be exact at a powerful firm with something to hide and they will stop at nothing to keep Nick from unleashing the truth. --Source: Publisher ; Author James Grippando was born in Antioch Illinois in 1958.
