In this 1960 Edgar Award-winning thriller, a young housewife with two lively daughters and an endlessly crying baby battles domestic chaos as well as growing suspicions of the household's new lodger.
William Wenthe's third collection begins in the domestic realm then moves outward in subject and place -- to a bird market in Paris, the Jaffa Gate in Old Jerusalem, the Chain Bridge in Budapest -- before returning to the familial. The poet recalls his own cherished experiences of fatherhood: rocking his infant daughter in the early morning, lying with her outside on a pink flannel sheet, and watching her joyous reaction to the sight of roses. While actively engaged in the artist's struggle to represent reality, Wenthe draws attention to the particular, to moments and events that seem to exist beyond thoughts and words. In "Uhte," Wenthe reflects on the Old English name for the hour before dawn: "that word / has haunted me -- wondering how that hour / had first called forth a need / to be distinguished by a sound." In well-crafted free verse, traditional meter and rhyme, prose poems, and nonce forms, Wenthe meditates on family, language, art, history, and the natural world, striving to find words to capture the richness of life.

Leah Barnett can't believe how far fate has carried her: from Boston to the towering Colorado Rockies...and into the life of an angry, ruggedly sexy man. Ryder Damien is not about to welcome this beauty with open arms, however, especially since Leah was the one who won the affection of Ryder's late father and now may inherit, his considerable wealth. But when she stands before him in the flesh -- proud, vulnerable, and intoxicatingly lovely -- desire replaces hatred in Ryder's heart. Yet can passion survive this wild land and its dangerous men...and the most breathtaking peril: untamed love?
Hungry eyes watching from the darkness. Hungry eyes hunting as a team. The pride, driven north out of Tanzania by poachers and encroaching civilization, has learned that man is an easy meal. This will be recorded as their fourth "man kill." Now to the victors belong the spoils. It was quick. It was easy. It will be a satisfying meal. Southwest Kenya is being terrorized by a pride of lions that are killing daily. Dr. Charles Henley, a.k.a. Bwana Kifaru (Mr. Rhino in Swahili), is hired by the Kenyan Minister of Wildlife, in partnership with the San Diego Zoo, to capture these man-eaters and rid the villages around Maasai Mara National Preserve of these killers. The lions are to be captured alive and transported to the San Diego Zoo, bringing Dr. Henley once again into the orbit of his estranged ex-wife, Meredith, who is the head veterinarian. Although much of the story takes place in Southwest Kenya, this is not an "around the campfire" book of hunting stories. Before Dawn is a suspense novel dealing with the confrontation of nature at its most savage and mankind's vulnerability. 1
