A rainy night's telephone call leads J.C. Ducheck to believe that he will finally learn who shot and tried to kill him three years ago. The caller is Jason Saxberg, the man who accidentally interrupted the attempt on J.C.'s life. Saxberg says his own life is now jeopardized because he has just discovered the shooter's identity. J.C. takes his irreverent but loyal friend, Wally Gustavson, along to meet with Saxberg, only to find him dead. They chase the killer, who narrowly escapes at a railroad crossing, seconds in front of a speeding train. With little evidence and few leads about Saxberg's case, the police turn their attention to the murder of a prominent minister, prompting J.C. and Wally to investigate Saxberg's murder on their own. Their inexperience at crime solving is further complicated because they have to keep Detective Paul Andrews, Wally's nephew, from knowing what they're up to. After a series of humorous attempts to interview and surveil suspects, Paul joins J.C. and Wally as their endeavor becomes increasingly more dangerous. To everyone's surprise, a connection between J.C.'s shooting and the other murders unfolds.

The Main Enemy

The Inside Story of the CIA's Final Showdown with the KGB

By: Milton Bearden,James Risen

A landmark collaboration between a thirty-year veteran of the CIA and a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, The Main Enemy is the dramatic inside story of the CIA-KGB spy wars, told through the actions of the men who fought them. Based on hundreds of interviews with operatives from both sides, The Main Enemy puts us inside the heads of CIA officers as they dodge surveillance and walk into violent ambushes in Moscow. This is the story of the generation of spies who came of age in the shadow of the Cuban missile crisis and rose through the ranks to run the CIA and KGB in the last days of the Cold War. The clandestine operations they masterminded took them from the sewers of Moscow to the back streets of Baghdad, from Cairo and Havana to Prague and Berlin, but the action centers on Washington, starting in the infamous "Year of the Spy"—when, one by one, the CIA’s agents in Moscow began to be killed, up through to the very last man. Behind the scenes with the CIA's covert operations in Afghanistan, Milt Bearden led America to victory in the secret war against the Soviets, and for the first time he reveals here what he did and whom America backed, and why. Bearden was called back to Washington after the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan and was made chief of the Soviet/East Euro-pean Division—just in time to witness the fall of the Berlin Wall, the revolutions that swept across Eastern Europe, and the implosion of the Soviet Union. Laced with startling revelations—about fail-safe top-secret back channels between the CIA and KGB, double and triple agents, covert operations in Berlin and Prague, and the fateful autumn of 1989—The Main Enemy is history at its action-packed best.

Stealing Freedom Along the Mason-Dixon Line

Thomas McCreary, the Notorious Slave Catcher from Maryland

By: Milt Diggins

Slavery, freedom, and kidnapping in the mid-Atlantic. This is the story of Thomas McCreary, a slave catcher from Cecil County, Maryland. Reviled by some, proclaimed a hero by others, he first drew public attention in the late 1840s for a career that peaked a few years after passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Living and working as he did at the midpoint between Philadelphia, an important center for assisting fugitive slaves, and Baltimore, a major port in the slave trade, his story illustrates in raw detail the tensions that arose along the border between slavery and freedom just prior to the Civil War. McCreary and his community provide a framework to examine slave catching and kidnapping in the Baltimore-Wilmington-Philadelphia region and how those activities contributed to the nation’s political and visceral divide.

Go, Flight!

The Unsung Heroes of Mission Control, 1965-1992

By: Rick Houston,Milt Heflin

At first glance, it looks like just another auditorium in just another government building. But among the talented men (and later women) who worked in mission control, the room located on the third floor of Building 30--at what is now Johnson Space Center--would become known by many as "the Cathedral." These members of the space program were the brightest of their generations, making split-second decisions that determined the success or failure of a mission. The flight controllers, each supported by a staff of specialists, were the most visible part of the operation, running the missions, talking to the heavens, troubleshooting issues on board, and, ultimately, attempting to bring everyone safely back home. None of NASA's storied accomplishments would have been possible without these people. Interviews with dozens of individuals who worked in the historic third-floor mission control room bring the compelling stories to life. Go, Flight! is a real-world reminder of where we have been and where we could go again given the right political and social climate.

Milt Schornack and the Royal Bobcat GTOs

By: Keith J. MacDonald,Milt Schornack

The original muscle car, the Royal Bobcat GTO was the baby of a burgeoning Detroit subculture, one not sanctioned by the big automakers of the early 1960s. In a post-World War II America hungry for chrome, flash and speed, Royal Pontiac in Royal Oak, Michigan, modified and sold its souped-up versions of GTOs to customers, and in the process created a demand for custom street racers in America. Founded by Ace Wilson, the Royal name became synonymous with speed. This book outlines the history of the Royal Bobcat GTO, from the people--including Milt Schornack, the mechanic who raced for Royal Pontiac and was responsible for the custom Bobcats--to the fabled midnight test runs on northern Detroit's famous Woodward Avenue. Fourteen chapters, illustrated with 25 photographs of vintage GTOs, the infamous Car & Driver road test photos against a Ferrari GTO, and more, chronicle the history of a car that changed the focus of the Detroit auto industry for the next decade. Former editor-in-chief of Hot Rod Magazine Ro McGonegal contributes a foreword.

By: Milt Anderson

But this doesn't stop August Gustafson from looking for him. Frank's friend and part-time employee in Frank's private investigation business, Augie enlists the aid of his enigmatic uncle Roscoe Kronek, a womanizing hypochondriac, and Emma Lou Rawlins, the hilarious office manager of Augie's latest endeavor, Desperate Domestics Maid Service. Augie decides to break into Frank's office to search for clues. Roscoe easily gains entrance to the office and a wall safe using expertise he learned from a syint in the military and a government job he refuses to talk about. The information they find leads to three suspects, which they begin to investigate. The situation turns black when all suspects are eliminated and Frank's body is discovered in an abandoned coal mine. Hiring a new maid leads to the identity of the murderer, whom they confront at the local watering hole.
