Angels of the Underground
hardcover nonfiction by Theresa Kaminski
When the Japanese began their brutal occupation of the Philippines in January 1942, 76,000 ill and starving Filipino and American troops tried to hold out on Bataan and Corregidor. That spring, after having been forced to surrender, most of those men were thrown into Japanese POW camps while dozens of others slipped away to organize guerrilla forces. During the three violent years of occupation that followed, Allied sympathizers in Manila smuggled supplies and information to the guerrillas and the prisoners.
Theresa Kaminski's Angels of the Underground tells the story of four American women who were part of this little-known resistance movement. Gladys Savary, Claire Phillips, Yay Panlilio, and Peggy Utinsky never wavered in their belief that it was their duty as patriotic American women to aid the Allied cause. Through their story, Kaminski highlights how women have always been active participants in war, whether or not they wear a military uniform.
The Drifter
a hardcover novel by Nicholas Petrie
Peter Ash came home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with only one souvenir: what he calls his “white static,” the buzzing claustrophobia due to post-traumatic stress that has driven him to spend a year roaming in nature, sleeping under the stars. But when a friend from the Marines commits suicide, Ash returns to civilization to help the man’s estranged widow with some home repairs.
Under her dilapidated porch, he finds more than he bargained for: the largest, ugliest, meanest dog he’s ever encountered, and a Samsonite suitcase stuffed with cash and explosives. As Ash begins to investigate this unexpected discovery, he finds himself at the center of a plot that is far larger than he could have imagined, and it may lead straight back to the world he thought he’d left behind. Suspenseful and thrilling, and introducing, The Drifter is an exciting novel from a new voice in crime fiction.
The Do-Right
a paperback novel by Lisa Sandlin
Do-Right is Southern slang for prison. In 1954, Delpha Wade killed one man who was raping her and the other man got away. Now, after fourteen years in prison, she’s out. Although nobody’s rushing to hire a parolee, persistence and smarts land her a secretarial job with Tom Phelan, an ex-roughneck turned neophyte private eye. Together these two pry into the dark corners of Beaumont, a blue-collar, Cajun-influenced town dominated by Big Oil. And on a weekend outing, Delpha looks into the eyes of the rapist who got away. The novel's conclusion is classic noir, full of surprise, excitement, and karmic justice. Sandlin's elegant prose, twisting through the dark thickets of human passion, allows Delpha to open her heart again to friendship, compassion, and sexuality.
