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

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.

The author of three beloved books about her life in Italy including Under the Tuscan Sun and Every Day in Tuscany Frances Mayes revisits the turning points that defined her early years in Fitzgerald Georgia. With her signature style and grace Mayes explores the power of landscape the idea of home and the lasting force of a chaotic and loving family. From her years as a spirited secretive child through her university studies--a period of exquisite freedom that imbued her with a profound appreciation of friendship and a love of travel--to her escape to a new life in California Mayes exuberantly recreates the intense relationships of her past recounting the bitter and sweet stories of her complicated family: her beautiful yet fragile mother Frankye; her unpredictable father Garbert; Daddy Jack whose life Garbert saved; grandmother Mother Mayes; and the family maid Frances's confidant Willie Bell. Under Magnolia is a searingly honest humorous and moving ode to family and place and a thoughtful meditation on the ways they define us or cause us to define ourselves. With acute sensory language Mayes relishes the sweetness of the South the smells and tastes at her family table the fragrance of her hometown trees and writes an unforgettable story of a girl whose perspicacity and dawning self-knowledge lead her out of the South and into the rest of the world and then to a profound return home"-- Provided by publisher. ;"A memoir of author Frances Mayes's coming of age in the Deep South and of the region's powerful influence on her life.

In Oh What a Slaughter Larry McMurtry has written a unique brilliant and searing history of the bloody massacres that marked-and marred-the settling of the American West in the nineteenth century and which still provoke immense controversy today. Here are the true stories of the West's most terrible massacres-Sacramento River Mountain Meadows Sand Creek Marias River Camp Grant and Wounded Knee among others. These massacres involved Americans killing Indians but also Indians killing Americans and in the case of the hugely controversial Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857 Mormons slaughtering a party of American settlers including women and children. McMurtry's evocative descriptions of these events recall their full horror and the deep constant apprehension and dread endured by both pioneers and Indians. By modern standards the death tolls were often small-Custer's famous defeat at Little Big Horn in 1876 was the only encounter to involve more than two hundred dead-yet in the thinly populated West of that time the violent extinction of a hundred people had a colossal impact on all sides. Though the perpetrators often went unpunished many guilty and traumatized men felt compelled to tell and retell the horrors they had committed. From letters and diaries McMurtry has created a moving and swiftly paced narrative as memorable in its way as such classics as Evan S. Connell's Son of the Morning Star and Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. In Larry McMurtry's own words: "I have visited all but one of these famous massacre sites-the Sacramento River massacre of 1846 is so forgotten that its site near the northern California village of Vina can only be approximated. It is no surprise to report that none of the sites are exactly pleasant places to be though the Camp Grant site north of Tucson does have a pretty community college nearby. In general the taint that followed the terror still lingers and is still powerful enough to affect locals who happen to live nearby. None of the massacres were effectively covered up though the Sacramento River massacre was overlooked for a very long time. "But the lesson if it is a lesson is that blood-in time and often not that much time-will out. In case after case the dead have managed to assert a surprising potency. "The deep constant apprehension which neither the pioneers nor the Indians escaped has it seems to me been too seldom factored in by historians of the settlement era though certainly it saturates the diary-literature of the pioneers particularly the diary-literature produced by frontier women who were of course the likeliest candidates for rapine and kidnap." --Source: Publisher ; Larry McMurtry winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction among other awards is the author of twenty-four novels two collections of essays two memoirs more than thirty screenplays & an anthology of modern Western fiction.
