From New York Times-bestselling author James Lee Burke comes a novel set in Civil War-era Louisiana as the South transforms and a brilliant cast of characters – enslaved and free women, plantation gentry, and battle-weary Confederate and Union soldiers – are caught in the maelstromIn the fall of 1863, the Union army is in control of the Mississippi river. Much of Louisiana, including New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is occupied. The Confederate army is retreating toward Texas, and being replaced by Red Legs, irregulars commanded by a maniacal figure, and enslaved men and women are beginning to glimpse freedom.When Hannah Laveau, an enslaved woman working on the Lufkin plantation, is accused of murder, she goes on the run with Florence Milton, an abolitionist schoolteacher, dodging the local constable and the slavecatchers that prowl the bayous. Wade Lufkin, haunted by what he observed—and did—as a surgeon on the battlefield, has returned to his uncle’s plantation to convalesce, where he becomes enraptured by Hannah. Flags on the Bayou is an engaging, action-packed narrative that includes a duel that ends in disaster, a brutal encounter with the local Union commander, repeated skirmishes with Confederate irregulars led by a diseased and probably deranged colonel, and a powerful story of love blossoming between an unlikely pair. As the story unfolds, it illuminates a past that reflects our present in sharp relief.James Lee Burke, whose “evocative prose remains a thing of reliably fierce wonder” (Entertainment Weekly), expertly renders the rich Louisiana landscape, from the sunsets on the Mississippi River to the dingy saloons of New Orleans to the tree-lined shores of the bayou and the cottonmouth snakes that dwell in its depths. Powerful and deeply moving, Flags on the Bayou is a story of tragic acts of war, class divisions upended, and love enduring through it all.

Having moved his family from England to Detroit and opened a foreign car dealership, Spencer’s life was derailed by the death of his beloved wife. Now disconnected from his young daughter and losing control of the cocktail of drugs and alcohol that gets him through the day, he only just keeps Child Protective Services at bay while his business teeters on the edge of bankruptcy.Then he has a seemingly chance encounter with a charismatic but lethal gangster, Dominic McGrath. Feeling the squeeze from informants, the rise of tech surveillance, and a hotshot detective who’s made busting him a personal crusade, McGrath’s been planning a last heist that would allow a comfortable retirement, provided he can find a very special type of driver—one who’s capable, trustworthy . . . and naïve. Spencer quickly proves himself behind the wheel, with his innate sense of timing and precise, high-speed maneuvers. And McGrath even pays cash, lots of it. But it comes at a price; Spencer finds himself playing in an arena where rookies don’t last long. Wising up to the ruthlessness behind McGrath’s charming façade, he tries to break free, but McGrath has too much invested to allow him to leave.As the city swelters in a heat wave, the two men apply their considerable talents to besting each other, while mistakenly assuming they have only each other to beat.

Interweaving the lives of three of the most significant and also controversial generals of the 20th century, culminating in their battles and rivalries in World War II, Triumph of Leadership explores the varying paths that George Patton, Bernard Montgomery, and Erwin Rommel each took, and philosophies they developed, towards leadership.Patton and Montgomery each longed to fight Rommel given the latter’s stature and reputation, and both succeeded. The competitive rivalry between Patton and Montgomery and their caustic comments about each other in Sicily and Normandy, caused constant problems for Eisenhower and other Allied leaders.Clark has woven a superb array of letters and diary entries into his story, allowing the three generals to speak for themselves and for others—from superior officers to rank-and-file soldiers—to speak about them. This makes his narrative all the more vivid.Colorful and egotistical, each figure had character flaws and needed to somehow overcome their own serious misadventures at various points. The leadership lessons embedded in each general’s story can be usefully applied in many arenas.Only Montgomery lived well beyond World War II. Accused of treason, Rommel was forced to take his own life before the war ended. Patton died a year later in an accident.For readers of Carlo D’Este’s bestseller Patton: A Genius for War (HarperCollins, 1995) and Terry Brighton’s Patton, Montgomery, Rommel: Masters of War (Crown, 2009).Lloyd Clark is one of the leading military historians of our time, and Patton’s inclusion should encourage strong American review attention. Clark is an expert on all aspects of military leadership, making his assessments of the three generals all the more authoritative.Lloyd Clark has published four previous books on World War II with Grove. His most recent, Blitzkrieg (2016), has sold over 10,000 copies in all formats.

Sean Tennant and Molly Winter are living quietly and cautiously in Houston when a troubled, obsessive stranger shatters the safety they have carefully constructed for themselves. Sean is at a shopping mall when Henry Alan Keen, scorned by a woman he's been dating, pulls out a gun at the store where she works and begins shooting everyone in sight. A former soldier, Sean rushes toward Keen and ends the slaughter with two well-placed shots--becoming a hero with his face plastered across the news. But Sean's newfound notoriety exposes him to the wrath of two men he thought he had left safely in his past. One of them blames Sean for his brother's death. The other wants to recover a treasure that Sean and Molly stole from him.
