Sime~Gen - KeyBooks

This is the first book in a long and very popular series of novels with Lawyers as the main characters -- lawyers who are on opposite sides of many moral/legal issues.

The series focus is on a developing relationship between Butch and Marlene, so this could be termed Intimate Adventure.

But for writers, the point to notice is that Tanenbaum is a writer who is also a Lawyer who sees the "system" is not working. This book/series could be a model for you if you have an issue to discuss which is important to you.

People with phobias are dying of fear -- is there a serial killer loose, or is the accuser paranoid too?

This is Littell at the top of his form, constructing a tale of espionage and counterespionage that reveals the dirty tricks and dangerous secrets concerning the subjects he knows intimately - The CIA and American history, past and present.

At the center of Littell's plot is an elite plan, so secret and so dangerous that its existence is known only to a tiny group of specialists within the CIA headquarters. There is virtually no paper trail - but, somehow, the plan has sprung a leak. The plotters most urgently trace it - or more

Frequency is really two different--though inextricably linked--movies. First, the emotional drama of a father and son reunited after 30 years of separation. Then there's a science fiction thriller, in which a couple of chance solar storms, occurring exactly 30 years apart, can provide the agency through which the father and son can communicate using the very same ham radio in parallel time frames of 1969 and 1999. The son is John Sullivan (Jim Caviezel), a cop, and his father is Frank (Dennis Quaid), a firefighter who died on the job when John was 6, which just happens to be tomorrow for Frank when he and his now-adult son begin talking across time.

Penzler Pick, January 2001: The thrillers of Alan Furst usually take place in the dark days preceding World War II, but while the main participants in that war are of course portrayed, Britain, France, Germany, and the United States do not usually star in Furst's novels. He prefers instead to focus his stories on the citizens of those countries whose allegiances and roles in that particular theater of operations are much more contradictory and conflicted.
