The Game

Harvard, Yale, and America in 1968

By: George Howe Colt

*A New York Times Notable Book* *A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year* From the bestselling National Book Award finalist and author of The Big House comes “a well-blended narrative packed with top-notch reporting and relevance for our own time” (The Boston Globe) about the young athletes who battled in the legendary Harvard-Yale football game of 1968 amidst the sweeping currents of one of the most transformative years in American history. On November 23, 1968, there was a turbulent and memorable football game: the season-ending clash between Harvard and Yale. The final score was 29-29. To some of the players, it was a triumph; to others a tragedy. And to many, the reasons had as much to do with one side’s miraculous comeback in the game’s final forty-two seconds as it did with the months that preceded it, months that witnessed the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy, police brutality at the Democratic National Convention, inner-city riots, campus takeovers, and, looming over everything, the war in Vietnam. George Howe Colt’s The Game is the story of that iconic American year, as seen through the young men who lived it and were changed by it. One player had recently returned from Vietnam. Two were members of the radical antiwar group SDS. There was one NFL prospect who quit to devote his time to black altruism; another who went on to be Pro-Bowler Calvin Hill. There was a guard named Tommy Lee Jones, and fullback who dated a young Meryl Streep. They played side by side and together forged a moment of startling grace in the midst of the storm. “Vibrant, energetic, and beautifully structured” (NPR), this magnificent and intimate work of history is the story of ordinary people in an extraordinary time, and of a country facing issues that we continue to wrestle with to this day. “The Game is the rare sports book that lives up to the claim of so many entrants in this genre: It is the portrait of an era” (The Wall Street Journal).

Rowdy

The Roddy Piper Story

By: Ariel Teal Toombs,Colt Baird Toombs

The biggest pro wrestling bio since Bret Hart's Hitman: legendary Rowdy Roddy Piper's unfinished autobiography, re-conceived and completed by his children, actress/musician Ariel Teal Toombs and wrestler Colt Baird Toombs. In early 2015, Roderick Toombs, aka Rowdy Roddy Piper, began researching his own autobiography with a trip through Western Canada. He was re-discovering his youth, a part of his life he never discussed during his 61 years, many spent as one of the greatest talents in the history of pro wrestling. Following his death due to a heart attack that July, two of his children took on the job of telling Roddy's story, separating fact from fiction in the extraordinary life of their father. Already an accomplished wrestler before Wrestlemania in 1985, Roddy Piper could infuriate a crowd like no "heel" before him. The principal antagonist to all-American champion Hulk Hogan, Piper used his quick wit, explosive ring style and fearless baiting of audiences to push pro wrestling to unprecedented success. Wrestling was suddenly pop culture's main event. An actor with over 50 screen credits, including the lead in John Carpenter's #1 cult classic, They Live, Piper knew how to keep fans hungry, just as he'd kept them wishing for a complete portrait of his most unusual life. He wanted to write this book for his family; now they have written it for him.

The Bogus Bondsman

By: Paul Colt

Only the Strong Survive When a faceless New York investor orchestrates a hostile railroad takeover, he unleashes a tidal wave of chaos across the West. His weapon of choice? Over a million dollars in counterfeit bearer bonds, crafted by a ruthless crime syndicate and peddled by a mysterious beauty with a knack for beguiling bankers. As the Texas & Pacific Railroad teeters on the brink, they enlist the notorious Allan Pinkerton to unmask the culprits. But the banks, bleeding from the fraudulent scheme, call on the Great Western Detective League to track down their stolen fortunes. Colonel David J. Crook taps his top men—Briscoe Cane and Beau Longstreet—to lead the charge. Alongside Pinkerton’s sharp-eyed Reginald Kingsley and the dangerously seductive Samantha Maples, they race across the untamed West, from bustling railways to desolate deserts, in a high-stakes pursuit. As Kingsley and Cane match wits with a phantom bondsman, Maples and Longstreet find themselves in a rivalry both fierce and flirtatious, all while staying focused on their quarry. But the syndicate won't go down without a fight. Ambushes, assassination attempts, and ruthless betrayals follow the detectives’ every move, leading to a heart-pounding showdown from Yuma, Arizona, to the dusty streets of El Paso. Prepare for a relentless ride with the Great Western Detective League as they navigate treacherous territory, outsmart cunning criminals, and face down ruthless outlaws. The chase barrels toward a thrilling conclusion, where honor, grit, and gunslinging skills are all that stand between justice and chaos in the unforgiving West.

The Banker

By: Peter Colt

Embezzlement, murder, and beautiful women . . . Andy Roark, Vietnam veteran turned private investigator is on the case in this thrilling hardboiled mystery that’s perfect for fans of Robert B. Parker and Jeremiah Healy. “Fans of Robert B. Parker’s Spenser novels . . . will be eager to see more of Roark” Publishers Weekly “Roark is genuinely likeable (not too tough, but not a patsy)” The New York Times Boston, 1986. Spring in Boston is always a miserable affair, and Andy Roark’s latest case offers nothing to raise his spirits. The ex-military operative turned private investigator has been hired by a bank president to investigate three of his staff. One of them has embezzled over two million dollars – and Brock wants Roark to find out who’s living above their means. Sounds exciting enough, but after two weeks' tedious surveillance uncovers a grand total of nothing, Roark gives it up as a bad job. Brock needs a forensic accountant on the case, not a PI. But several weeks later, the bank is held up, and one of Brock’s suspects is murdered by the robber. Is there a connection? Roark can’t see how, but he’s never been a fan of coincidence. With the case niggling at him, he relaunches an investigation on his own dime. Soon he’s rubbing shoulders with some very shady characters – and trying his best not just to solve the case, but also to come out of it alive. Written by a US Army veteran and New England police officer, the Andy Roark mystery series will appeal to fans of classic private detective novels, packed with wry humor, unexpected twists and explosive scenes.

Wanted: Sam Bass

By: Paul Colt

Winner takes all. Wanted: Sam Bass introduces the daring exploits of Paul Colt’s Great Western Detective League. In the lawless expanses of the late 1800s West, these bold crime fighters rival the infamous Pinkerton Agency, taking on the most treacherous outlaws and impossible cases. Sam Bass's infamous reign of terror began in 1877 with a staggering twenty-thousand-dollar stagecoach heist, quickly followed by a sixty-thousand-dollar train robbery. Desperate to stop Bass and his ruthless gang, Wells Fargo and the Union Pacific Railroad turn to rival detectives. Enter David J. Colonel Crook and his maverick band of law enforcement professionals whose unconventional methods specialize in crossing jurisdictions no one else can. Among them is Briscoe Cane, a cunning and deadly bounty hunter tasked with capturing Bass, and Beau Longstreet, a Pinkerton agent who uses his charm and wit to extract information from even the cagiest of sources. As Cane relentlessly dogs the gang’s trail, Longstreet gathers intelligence from his network of female informants. With a fortune in reward money on the line, the two detectives engage in a high-stakes, winner-take-all hunt, culminating in a bloody showdown in a dusty Texas town. Amidst the gunfights and peril, though, Cane and Longstreet forge an unexpected alliance, proving that even in the wild West, camaraderie can bloom in the unlikeliest of places. Join the Great Western Detective League on a relentless adventure filled with danger, deception, and dynamic duels in pursuit of one the most dangerous outlaws and desperados in the West.

The Mangler of Malibu Canyon

A Novel

By: Jennifer Colt

Someone in Malibu is murdering hot blondes. Who better to solve the crime than two hot redheads? Twin sisters Kerry and Terry McAfee are well on their way to becoming Los Angeles’s most notorious P.I.s. With their bright red hair, canine sidekicks, and preferred mode of transportation--a hot pink Harley--the girls are quickly getting a reputation for more than just sleuthing skills. So after nabbing the Butcher of Beverly Hills, they decide to take some time off and lay low for awhile. But then the girls’ rich Aunt Reba calls with the news that she’s found a decapitated body in her new Malibu beach house. Kerry insists that they call the police—partly because she hopes to catch a glimpse of her former flame, the hunky Detective John Boatwright. But no sooner do the cops begin investigating than Reba and the girls are shocked by the arrival of their Cousin Robert—carrying a blond-haired head in a mesh bag with no memory of where he’s been. Now it’s up to the twins to find the real killer, as Reba and Robert face the prospect of life behind bars. As they search for clues, Kerry and Terry find themselves dealing with Mafia movie producers, wacko cultists, has-been actresses, and even visitors from outer space. With a razor-sharp wit that brilliantly brings to life L.A.’s most eccentric personalities, The Mangler of Malibu Canyon is fast-paced, sexy, and more fun than a ride down the Pacific Coast Highway.

The Off-Islander

By: Peter Colt

In Peter Colt’s gritty, gripping new series set along the New England coast, a Boston-born Vietnam veteran and P.I. is hired to find a missing father—but may find far more than he bargained for . . . Boston, 1982. Private investigator Andy Roark has spent the past decade trying to rediscover his place in the world. In Vietnam, there was order and purpose. Everything—no matter how brutal—happened for a reason. Back home, after brief stints in college and with the police force, Roark has settled for a steady, easy routine of divorce and insurance fraud cases. Roark’s childhood friend, Danny Sullivan, dragged himself out of blue-collar Southie to become a respected and powerful lawyer. Now he wants Roark to help one of his clients with a sensitive request. Deborah Swift, wealthy wife of an aspiring California politician, is trying to trace her father, last seen on Cape Cod, who walked out on her and her mother long ago. Other investigators have turned up nothing, but Roark’s local connections might give him an edge. The case takes Roark to the island of Nantucket, tranquil in its off-season, and laden with picturesque charm. Yet even here, on the quaint cobblestoned streets and pristine beaches, Roark’s finely honed senses alert him to danger just below the surface. Nothing is quite as it seems. And the biggest case of Roark’s career may just shatter what little peace of mind he has left . . .

Becoming Modigliani

By: Henri Colt

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Becoming Modigliani

By: Henri Colt

An insightful, myth-busting biography of early 20th-century Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani, seen through the lenses of the artist’s tuberculosis and other ailments. Becoming Modigliani is a comprehensive biography that delves into the troubled life of the Jewish-Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. Written by Dr. Henri Colt, an internationally recognized lung specialist, the book examines the artist's legend and Modigliani's creative journey from a medical perspective, from his birth in Livorno, Italy, to his tragic death in a paupers' hospital in Paris at the age of thirty-five, presumably from tuberculous meningitis. Becoming Modigliani sheds light on the young man's chronic illnesses, addictions, and relationships with friends and lovers as he navigated the vibrant yet challenging world of early twentieth-century Bohemian Paris. Beginning with "Modi's" birth in 1884, the narrative is divided into five parts, seamlessly blending biographical elements with medical insights and a critical analysis of Modigliani's work among some of the greatest artists of the time. It also provides thoughtful descriptions of a changing society governed by the impact of infectious diseases, war, and a flourishing of other creative geniuses such as Picasso, Jean Cocteau, and Guillaume Apollinaire. With thirty-seven virtually standalone chapters, a preface and epilogue, three appendices, and a rich array of illustrations and references, this biography promises a profound and compassionate exploration of Modigliani's embattled world. In Becoming Modigliani, Dr. Colt's aim is to foster empathy and greater understanding by unraveling the intricate layers of Modigliani's existence. The result is a captivating and deeply researched tale that will resonate with a diverse audience of serious readers, art and medical history enthusiasts, sociologists, and anyone interested in the human spirit.

Lunger

The Doc Holliday Story

By: Paul Colt

“Lunger is a fast-paced, stirring read... Paul Colt does an excellent job weaving well-researched historical facts into this riveting drama.” —Chris Enss, New York Times Bestselling Author of According to Kate: The Legendary Life of Big Nose Kate, Doc Holliday’s Love_ The product of an aristocratic Old South upbringing, John Henry “Doc” Holliday’s dreams of a career in dentistry are dashed at a young age by respiratory disease. Encouraged to seek the therapeutic benefits of drier climes, John Henry undertakes an odyssey crossing the western frontier, often in the company of soiled dove Kate Elder. It’s a journey that transforms him from gentleman dentist to professional gambler. What emerges is a complex character we come to know through contrasting lenses—a family portrait protective of its legacy, a turbulent romantic relationship, and a friendship steeped in loyalty no matter the cost, all the while stalked by the specter of death riding a pale horse. Gambling, drinking, and living on the edge, ever beset by disease, Doc nevertheless maintains an inbred code of honor to violent necessity. He meets and befriends Wyatt Earp, following him from Dodge City in its wide-open, cow town heyday to a date with destiny in Tombstone. Ever trailing in Doc’s wake, Kate is never far behind, her love drawn to the self-destruction of a condemned man, like a moth to the flame of inevitable demise. Doc walks away from the legendary O.K. Corral gunfight. He survives the Earp vendetta ride. He escapes legal consequences of the killings in Tombstone. But he can never outrun the rider mounted on a pale horse. Dancing on the edge of oblivion, driven by fate and an unyielding will to live on his own terms, Lunger is Doc Holliday’s story as he himself might have told it.
