Reading Portland is a literary exploration of the city's past and present. In over eighty selections, Portland is revealed through histories, memoirs, autobiographies, short stories, novels, and news reports. This single volume gives voice to women and men; the colonizers and the colonized; white, Hispanic, African American, Asian American, and Indian storytellers; and lower, middle, and upper classes. In his introduction, John Trombold considers the history of writing about a place that has nourished a provocative and errant literary tradition for over 150 years. In the preface, Peter Donahue considers the influence of region--particularly Portland's urbanity and its hybrid population--on literature. Included here are the voices of Carl Abbott, Kathryn Hall Bogle, Beverly Cleary, Robin Cody, Lawson Fusao Inada, Rudyard Kipling, Ursula K. Le Guin, Joaquin Miller, Sandy Polishuk, Gary Snyder, Kim Stafford, Elizabeth Woody, and many more.

In the village of Cascade Canyon, a rare book is dropped off at Past Life Emporium thrift store, owned by Keeley Carisbrooke. Hidden inside this first edition of The Tomb of Tut Ankh Amen, by legendary archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter, is an old letter containing a strange and tragic secret. As a pattern of deadly events spirals from 1920s upstate New York to the present-day in the Pacific Northwest, Keeley and those she loves become entangled in a dangerous mystery. Faced with threats, attacks and wrongful accusations, the close-knit community of Cascade Canyon comes together to protect and defend each other against extraordinary dangers. Keeley and her friends help Charles Deeds, an antiquities expert and owner of the mysterious book, in a quest for truth and justice, while uncovering his troubled family history. A classic page-turner that touches on past and present dangers lurking in dark corners and on forest trails, The Scales of Anubis will engage readers who enjoy a good suspense story. From long-buried secrets and the search for redemption, to the power of friendship and community, this is a cozy mystery to curl up with in front of the fire or beside a warm summer sea.
