Shadow of a Doubt
Summary
My name is John Cook, and my life began the day my heart stopped beating. King Oberon is betrayed by the Queens of Faerie and imprisoned in Mab’s dungeon. Give a man no way out, and eventually, no price is too high for revenge. That stands doubly true for a king. Nobody puts Obee in a corner...cell. So, the raging king forms a malevolent alliance, letting everyone know that if he can’t wear the crown.... No one will. The world be damned. Meanwhile, the Shadow Court has sent their deadliest assassin to execute John by any means necessary - with the intent of smothering all of creation in absolute blackness. And there is some featureless, creepy black cat seeming to stalk our friendly neighborhood vampire. Aren’t they bad luck? With the fate of the entire universe on the line, will John have the strength to withstand the darkest collective forces of the known and unknown universe? Can he scale that figurative mountain? Or will crippling self-doubt weaken his grip and send him plummeting down into a trench of endless agony and overwhelming despair? Oh, and John gets a shiny new hammer and a snazzy suit. Except it might be more of a curse than a blessing. Because he’s pretty sure it’s trying to take control of his body and mind.... And a vampire out of control can turn city streets into rivers of blood.

What the Hell
Summary
Baptisms can be fun...unless an old pal changes the water to pure sin right before John goes chunky-dunking. Ok. That was mean. You’re not chunky, John. You’re...dad-bod chic. Stop crying, you big baby. It was a compliment! Anyway... In the last place John ever thought he would find himself, he discovers the scrolls of the prophecy that has haunted him for centuries. Armed only with the celestial key provided by the Archangel Gabriel, John must travel to hell - where no creature of heaven can follow - to unlock a box that no denizen of hell can open. Talk about a paradox.... Only an abomination can travel below, and all of creation urgently needs to learn the truth of their fate, as it had been foretold long ago. To make matters worse, our antihero must find a way to free his friend’s soul from an eternity of unbearable anguish...from a place no one has ever escaped. At least Samael hadn’t been setting up a trap when John rescued his brother from the mouth of madness...right? Guys? Am I right? Oh. Well...crap. These demons, man. Can’t trust them at all. They are the absolute worst.

The Confessions of Al Capone
Summary
In 1944 Al Capone, the most notorious Mob boss in history, has already been released from prison. Though Capone is no longer the enormously powerful force who dominated Chicago’s underworld for years, he is still a thorn in the side of J. Edgar Hoover. The FBI chief knows that if he can somehow manage to get Capone to reveal details of crimes he and his Outfit committed, the Bureau has a good chance of nailing key members who now are active in the wartime black market.
FBI agent Peter Vasco is perfect for the job. He has an in - his father once drove a truck for the Outfit - and his pre-FBI education gives him even better cover. His orders: pose as the priest he wanted to be before he dropped out of seminary, get close to Capone, and get Hoover the information he demands.
Capone’s in Florida, suffering from advanced syphilis, and happy to add a priest to his inner circle. As Vasco and the mobster bond over card games, lunches, and even a trip to Wisconsin, Capone, sometimes lucid and sharp, other times rambling and vague, recounts stories of his criminal career. From his days as a bouncer in Brooklyn to the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, Capone spills secrets that reveal in vivid detail the life of this monster who became the most iconic figure in twentieth-century crime.
Vasco is alternately fascinated and repelled by the things Capone reveals. Al Capone would stop at nothing to take what he wanted, but also fed the poor of Chicago; he rose to the top of Chicago on a tide of bootleg beer and booze, but took the time to ensure that innocent victims of Mob violence got proper medical care.
This is Al Capone as he’s never been seen before, a ruthless crime lord who trafficked in death and corruption...as well as a man of refined tastes who loved his family. A man whose life is waning, and perhaps, a man who is seeking absolution.
