Where the Hurt Is
Summary
It’s an unseasonably hot April night in 1965. The social revolutions rocking America have mostly bypassed Burr, a tiny rural community in Western Oklahoma. Like much of the state, Burr remains as it’s always been: religious. Conservative. And 100 percent white.
When an unknown young African American woman is found murdered on the railroad tracks outside town, most of Burr would rather look the other way. The town’s police chief, troubled local hero and ex-Marine Emmett Hardy, doesn’t have that luxury. A lover of books and jazz in the land of football and country and Western, Emmett is an outsider in a place he knows like the back of his hand.
In his search for the killer, he’s forced to slice through layers of hate and hypocrisy to confront the ethical rot at the town’s core while being haunted by the vision of a life and love that might have been.

Celilo's Shadow
Summary
Guilt is a powerful force. No matter how much time has passed, it's always there, ready to punch you in the chest when you least expect it. All it takes is something ordinary - a brief glance, a certain food, or a melody on the radio - and regret strikes hard and fast. For Odessa Feldman, the trigger is a Pacific Northwest storm. When the muddy bones of a murder victim buried over 50 years ago are discovered in the storm's aftermath, Odessa overcomes her long struggle with guilt to finally reveal the truth. But her overdue confession comes with a difficult price - reliving her role in the tragic summer of 1956 and worse, betraying the best friend she'd ever had. Dessa and Ellie Matthews were both 14-years-old when they met that summer. Ellie's father was a foreman at the dam under construction on the Columbia River. At least that's what he said. But, like murder and the motives behind it, some things in life are rarely as they seem.

The Ice Maiden
Summary
A serial killer is abducting, torturing, and murdering young women in a small community in central Maine. Seeming to select his victims at random, he acts out the rituals of the Spanish Inquisition before committing their bodies to the sacred waters of nearby Sebec Lake. Anne Quinn, an investigator for the Piscataquis County sheriff's office, and Detective Douglas Bateman with the Major Crimes Unit of the Maine State Police join forces in tracking him down. Hiding in plain sight, the killer is clearly from the local community and plays a deadly "catch me if you can" game with Quinn and Bateman. He seems determined to humiliate them and demonstrate his superior intellect, leading them to suspect that perhaps there is a deeper motive and purpose behind his string of murders.

Slave
Summary
Jabali Smith was a six-year-old in Berkeley, California, when he was trafficked along with his sister over the border into Mexico and held captive by a messianic doomsday sex cult. Slave courageously and boldly chronicles his journey as a child slave - the escape and eventual rise from the ashes of tragedy. A story of unimaginable suffering followed by the discovery of success, love, compassion, and forgiveness. Jabali spent years being beaten, tortured, starved, sexualized, brainwashed, and confined to a dark closet in both Mexico and the United States. His disappearance and re-emergence years later with no alarms set off within our societal system represents the current fracture of communication allowing human trafficking to flourish into the fastest growing business and commodity in the world. Instead of remaining bitter, Jabali became a devoted, loving father and founder of The Well Child Foundation, serving children and their need for empowerment in a way that he never experienced as a child. Slave exposes not only the suffering of human trafficking victims but the indomitable spirit of survivors and all that is possible when faith survives the ultimate challenge.

The Khabarovsk War Crimes Trial
Summary
3,607 members of Unit 731, 12 brought to trial at Khabarovsk. Did justice ever prevail? Although the west often dismissed the Khabarovsk War Crimes Trial as "Communist Propaganda", it was the first time the scientists from the "Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department" of the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) came forward with the crimes they committed during World War II. The Khabarovsk War Crime Trials were hearings held between 25-31 December 1949 in the Soviet Union's Stalinist courts, and lasted for five days. It was after the 10-month long Nuremberg trials and the two-year-long Far Eastern War Crimes Tribunal in Tokyo. Although it was a shorter war crimes trial, it unearthed cruel biological weapon development and human experimentation practices by the Japanese Imperial Army. This book is a short version of the full trial. It highlights the precise points of the testimonies as well as the proceedings.

Trendy Bar & Nightclub Business Startup
Summary
According to Statista, sales in the drinking sector in the US have steadily grown since the mid-1990s, reaching $23.15 billion in 2015. The sector includes bars, pubs, lounges, taverns, and nightclubs, as well as other drinking places that primarily sell alcoholic beverages for immediate consumption. The National Restaurant Association estimated that food and drink sales in US bars and taverns would reach $19.9 billion in 2016. This is a relatively small figure in comparison to the wider restaurant industry, for which food and drink sales were expected to rise to approximately $783 billion during the same year. As a smart and savvy business person, I am sure you can understand we all want to be a part of an industry that shows growth and not decline. What better industries to be a part of than this? Especially when this sector has shown steady growth year over year for decades. If you are not 100 percent convinced yet, here is little more of the truth from Investopedia. The bar, tavern, and nightclub industry in the US is expected to have total revenues greater than $24 billion in 2015. Of the total sales, 42 percent is made up of beer, 31 percent is made up of distilled beverages, and the remaining 27 percent is made up of food and other sales. The average revenue per employee for a bar establishment is roughly $64, making it an attractive business for an entrepreneur. I am sure by now you would agree that getting into this line of business can be a great idea. But just because it is a great idea doesn’t mean everyone has to open one of these, right? Well, true. But you have to also understand; not everyone is cut out for owning and operating such business establishments. It takes a certain type of personality and willingness to own and operate and see great success in this business. Here is what I show you in this audiobook: Who should open a bar and why Profitability of a bar business Six ways to find money to start your business Knowing the market and setting a trend Naming your bar or club Putting together a business plan Legal side of your bar business Incorporating your business EIN, bank account, and city, county, and state licenses Liquor license (application to approval) Commercial, BOP, and liquor liability insurance How to find an existing bar for sale How to find a suitable location Negotiating a commercial lease Planning and building a bar Signage, menu, décor, and furniture Sound, lighting, and music Supplies and equipment Management and employees Managing bar inventory Drink pricing, profitability and POS Accounting and bookkeeping Marketing and promotion How to increase and upsell liquor And so much more Cheers and good luck!

A Different Yesterday
Summary
The apocalypse. It didn't come because of man's inhumanity to man. It didn't come from bombs, or plague, or even from aliens descending from outer space. In fact, no one knows what triggered it. And even if they did, there was no way to turn back time. Only one thing was certain. One evening, the sun had grown unexpectedly bigger and hotter, and heat and radiation unlike anything ever experienced washed over the Earth, bathing it in searing rays that devoured over three-quarters of the world's population. Now, the sun is smaller, and it doesn't radiate as much heat as it used to. The world is colder. Food is scarce, and people are fighting to stay alive. Andrew Michael Tollson, aka "The Silent Wraith", was a man who roamed from settlement to outpost to city, offering his protection from scavengers and renegades. Years ago, right before the sun had exploded, when he had been a boy growing up in a small Texas town, he had felt his first crush for the little tomboy he knew as Jo. Now, as a grown man, he has finally made his way back to his boyhood home to see if Jo is still alive or if she has been a victim of the apocalypse. He has to know if the dreams and memories he has harbored were mere fantasies or if the infatuation he'd felt then has grown into something else...something stronger and more tangible. JoBeth Wythe was a member of The Triad, three leaders who protected their little settlement, and tried to recall the carefree days before the apocalypse. All they wanted was the chance at a decent life, with enough food, some shared warmth, and a little hope for the future. She had never forgotten the pudgy little kid who had followed her around when she was growing up, the little boy she called Mikey. Every time she thought of him, it only brought back pain and a wistfulness for a past that no longer existed. For Drew and Jo, it was only a matter of time before they would be reunited to fight together. To survive together. And to discover that the innocent kisses they had shared as children had grown into a love that would overwhelm them with desire.
