A MArker to MeAsure Drift

This haunting book is as disturbing as it is achingly beautiful. It is the story of Jacqueline, a young refugee from Liberia, who is living in abject poverty and self-imposed exile in a Greek resort town. As we learnlittle by littlethe unimaginable horrors she has born witness to, we begin to understand why she has chosen numbness over rejoining society. And as she struggles to reconnect with someone and faces the inevitability of revisiting her past, the reader can find some hope in the resilience of the human spirit. A remarkable and eviscerating novel.

the Crypt thief:

A Hugo Marston Novel

Erica

I was one of the millions fascinated by the media coverage of the Amanda Knox trial. But, while my sympathy was piqued by her story, the same cannot be said for the character of Noa P. Singleton. This young woman on death row is wholly unsympathetic and utterly fascinating. She tells her story through flashbacks but that, of course, does not present a complete picture. Letters written to the victim by her mother also drive the narrative in this compellingly dark story filled with twists, turns, and more than one jaw-dropping moment. These two fiery women will leave you questioning your own convictions about guilt, innocence, and capital punishment.

After The Bookseller, I was immediately taken with Hugo Marstons flawless detective skills and couldnt wait for the next adventure. This time its a twisted grave robber . . . and a killer. Its summer in Paris and two tourists have been killed in front of Jim Morrisons grave. The killer leaves the bodies untouched but moves deeper into the cemetery, where he breaks into the crypt of a long-dead Moulin Rouge dancer. In a bizarre twist, he disappears into the night with part of her skeleton. At first, Hugo is stumped. How does this killer operate unseen? And why is he stealing the bones of once-famous can-can girls?
