Death Takes a Ride (The Cate Kinkaid Files Book #3)

A Novel

By: Lorena McCourtney

Cate Kinkaid arrives at H&B Classic Auto Restorations to give a friend a ride. But, as usual, trouble finds Cate even there--this time in the form of one dead man, one wounded man, and what appears to be a pretty obvious case of self-defense. Owner Matt Halliday wants to hire her, but not for this case. Instead, Cate is charged with finding a man who owns a particular motorcycle Matt would like to buy. As her search progresses, she begins to suspect that the shooting in Matt's office may not have been as cut-and-dried as it appeared. Bestselling and award-winning author Lorena McCourtney takes readers on another wild ride of mystery in this clever cozy mystery, part of her popular series The Cate Kinkaid Files.

Robin Cook

A Critical Companion

By: Lorena Laura Stookey

Like Arthur Conan Doyle before him, best-selling novelist Robin Cook has turned from the practice of medicine to that of writing popular suspense fiction. Widely recognized as the Master of the Medical Thriller, Cook uses the medium of the popular novel to address a range of social issues: environmental pollution, gender inequality in the workplace, the risks inherent in the common practice of secrecy in science research, and above all, the ramifications of medicine's transition from profession to corporate industry. This study analyzes in turn each of Cook's medical thrillers, from Coma toContagion. Following a biographical chapter, the genre chapter examines the ways in which Cook's medical thriller incorporates plotting conventions and strategies borrowed from such popular literary genres as the science fiction novel, the murder mystery, and the gothic romance. Each novel is then examined in a separate chapter with subsections on plot, character, and theme. Stookey also offers an alternative critical approach to the novel, which gives the reader another perspective from which to read and discuss the text. A complete bibliography of Cook's fiction, general criticism and biographical sources, and listings of reviews of each novel complete the work. The only study of one of America's most popular contemporary novelists, read by adults and young adults alike, this is a key purchase for schools and public libraries.

Trapped in the Russian Zone

By: Lorena Lefor Golke

Fear overwhelms Ferdinand Golke, having been charged with treason for deserting the military at the peak of the war. The young Polish boy’s only hope of escaping death by firing squad is to flee west. Trapped in the Russian Zone takes readers back to Ferdinand’s childhood and the peaceful times before World War II began. Due to the Hitler/Stalin agreement in 1939, the Golke children are among hundreds taken from their parents and detained in a camp in western Poland, where they experience hunger, cold and depravation. The infamous “resettlement” continues throughout the escalating war. In 1944, fifteen-year-old Ferdinand is drafted into the military. After inhumane treatment, he flees his unit without leave, but is caught and charged within hours of his escape. While awaiting trial, Ferdinand has a weighty decision to make. Based on true events, eight members of the Golke family slip through a gated border point, where escapees were routinely hunted down by dogs and shot. This amazing tale of love, hope, and survival against all odds makes the war years come alive at a time when most survivors are no longer here to tell their stories.
