"From the award-winning author of Stealing Buddha's Dinner, a powerful memoir of a mother-daughter relationship fragmented by war and resettlement. At the end of the Vietnam War, when Beth Nguyen was eight months old, she and her father, sister, grandmother, and uncles fled Saigon for America. Beth's mother stayed-or was left-behind, and they did not meet again until Beth was nineteen. Over the course of her adult life, she and her mother have spent less than twenty-four hours together. Owner of a Lonely Heart is a memoir about parenthood, absence, and the condition of being a refugee: the story of Beth's relationship with her mother. Framed by a handful of visits over the course of many years-sometimes brief, sometimes interrupted, sometimes with her mother alone and sometimes with her sister-Beth tells a coming-of-age story that spans her own Midwestern childhood, her first meeting with her mother, and becoming a parent herself. Vivid and illuminating, Owner of a Lonely Heart is a deeply personal story of family, connection, and belonging: as a daughter, a mother, and as a Vietnamese refugee in America"--

The death of Paco "Packy" Johnson shouldn't have surprised anyone. Paco Johnson spent a lifetime in the system -- starting in juvie at age 10, then prison for most of his adult life. But he managed to make some real friends in prison, friends who helped him get parole, a place to stay, and plans to help him adjust to a life outside prison after seventeen years behind bars. But only seventeen hours after he was released, he was found dead -- murdered -- in the streets of the Bronx. James Beck can't save Packy any longer -- but he can try to find out what happened to Packy, and why, and exact a measure of justice. Beck, ringleader of a tight clique of ex-cons based in Brooklyn's Red Hook section, is determined to accord Packy at least some dignity and a measure of justice. But what drove Packy out onto the streets of the Bronx his first night back? Who did he run into that hated him enough to viciously beat him before executing him, and yet left behind his wallet full of cash? But what at first appears to be a simple, if tragic, street killing, quickly becomes something much more difficult and complex. And it will take all the skills, connections, and cunning of Beck and his team not only to learn the truth but to survive the forces they've unwittingly unleashed.

The crypt located on Row 2 Column 6 at Greenview Cemetery Mausoleum has been disintegrated. The coffin once interred inside the crypt now lies empty on the concrete floor of the vault. Its wood is cracked and shattered. The shredded satin lining of the coffin appears as though fingernails clawed through the fabric. The body of recently entombed Bradley Cavanaugh isn’t inside. Dead men can’t escape their graves and walk away, can they? Sheriff Nick Dunn of the Carter County Sheriff's Office doesn’t believe in the supernatural. He’s convinced the creepy incident is an act of vandalism carried out by a gang of juvenile delinquents. When the missing body fails to turn up in a search of the cemetery, Dunn opens his investigation into the macabre and bizarre case. Through Patrice Cavanaugh, widow of the deceased, and her sister, Gabby Morgan, Dunn learns that Bradley Cavanaugh was an aggressive, abusive alcoholic who had multiple enemies in life. Is it possible that one of them stole his body from the grave as retribution for the wrath and vicious behavior Cavanaugh subjected them to while he was still alive? Or was the body stolen for more sinister reasons by someone intending to use it to terrorize Patrice and drive her insane? As Dunn’s investigation brings him closer to the culprit behind the disappearance of Cavanaugh’s body, he realizes that Patrice is the one who’s in grave danger. Someone extremely close to her hated Bradley Cavanaugh passionately and swore the day would come when she’d get her revenge against him for destroying her life. Did that day finally arrive, and is Patrice an intended victim or only collateral damage? When Dunn encounters the horrific truth behind the body’s disappearance, the experience brings him face to face with unadulterated evil, and a realism that’s too unbelievable to be true.

Set in modern-day Washington, D.C., Requiem for the Devil depicts the end of the Devil's ten-billion-year career. For the first time in his existence, Lucifer falls in love, and this event threatens to transform his identity and perhaps even his destiny. Gianna O'Keefe is the woman who drags him out of his ancient despair and points him toward possible salvation. Yet Lucifer's path from evil is neither straight nor smooth. Pursuing love means betraying his fellow fallen angels, the loyal friends who once followed him to damnation. Divine and infernal forces seem to conspire against his and Gianna's union. Lucifer's empire crumbles around him as he dares to defy the natural order and question his fate.
