Winner of the 2016 Indie Excellence Award for Crime Fiction When terrorists apparently strike one of Boston''s MBTA transit stations during the famed St. Patrick''s Day parade, the onslaught of federal and state officials turn the city into a chaotic police state. Only a veteran transit cop, jaded by his memories of growing up in the shadows of Boston''s forced busing and desegregation, knows the truth: The enemy is not some international terrorist cell but the politics and hubris that continually pit the haves and have_-nots against each other in one of the country''s oldest and most _congested cities.

Recipient of third place in the 2015 Public Safety Writer''s Association contest, Code Black is an historical fiction thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.

This gripping chronicle of an aerial rescue during the Vietnam War offers a vivid example of the heroism of US Air Force pararescue jumpers. In June of 1972, Capt. Lynn Aikman was returning from a bombing mission over North Vietnam when his F-4 Phantom was shot down. He and his backseater Tom Hanton ejected from their aircraft, but Hanton landed near a village and was quickly captured. Badly injured during the ejection, Aikman landed some distance from the village, making it possible for an American aerial rescue team to reach him before the enemy. Drifting in and out of consciousness, Aikman saw his guardian angel in the sky: USAF Pararescue Jumper Chuck McGrath. But as Sgt. McGrath prepared to hook the Aikman to a hoist line, hostile fire on the rescue helicopter damaged the hoist mechanism. As A-1 Skyraiders kept an enemy militia away from Aikman and McGrath, the helicopter crew scrambled to come up with a plan. More than a chronicle of the events of June 27, 1972, Taking Fire provides an up-close look at the little-known world of the US Air Force’s elite aerial rescue force.

Incapable de demander de l’aide à quiconque, la vie de Joe se transforme en enfer : violé par son nouveau beau-père, il est battu et enfermé pendant des années dans la cave où on le nourrit de déchets. Mais le pire est encore à venir. Pendant de longues années, son beau-père « donne » Joe à d’autres, pour qu’ils en disposent selon leur bon vouloir. Jusqu’au jour où, à l’âge de quatorze ans, Joe trouve enfin la force de s’enfuir... Le récit d’une enfance dévastée par la violence des adultes. Une magnifique histoire de survie.

Joe var bara fem år när han bevittnade den fruktansvärda olyckan som dödade hans pappa och det gjorde honom bokstavligen stum. Han talade inte på fyra och ett halvt år, vilket betydde att han var oförmögen att be någon om hjälp när hans liv förvandlades till ett levande helvete. Joes mamma och två av hans äldre bröder slog honom, våldtog honom och låste in honom i källaren. Ibland lämnades han naken i mörkret i tre dagar utan mänsklig kontakt och tvingades slicka upp matrester från golvet. Våldet och de sexuella övergreppen blev allt värre då fler människor, inklusive hans styvfar, inbjöds att utnyttja honom. Det enda räddningen för Joe var vänskapen med en av hans bröder och hans enda skolkamrat, som båda visade honom att kärlek är möjlig även i de mörkaste situationer. När Joe var fjorton lyckades han till slut fly. Joes berättelse från insidan av den mörkaste av gömda världar är en skildring om hur en liten pojke lyckades hitta styrkan att överkomma nästan omöjliga odds och växa upp och bli en betydelsefull man.
