Author John Telford, a longtime social activist who was a recent Detroit mayoral candidate and a superintendent of that city's public schools, creates an only SEMI-fictitious hallucinatory world that illuminates the equally surreal one we live in. Often darkly humorous, it incidentally lauds Bernie Sanders and puts Donald Trump in an interesting place. You won't put this book down--but no peeking before the end!",

"description": "Five bodies, five intersecting storylines, five lives ... each searching for hope and redemption. Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office, Detroit, Michigan: October 31, 1999. Five unidentified bodies lie in the Wayne County morgue on Halloween night. Although each character was on a separate journey, fate leads each of the five victims to cross paths on the streets of Detroit en route to their tragic demise. Set against the backdrop of a Devil's Night party at legendary Detroit concert venue and nightclub, Saint Andrew's Hall, Awaiting Identification details the final night on earth for five lost souls. NYC Girl: a former dancer arrives back home from New York City to make amends with her mother and begin to rebuild her life. Leaf Man: a musician and part-time DJ is on the cusp of his big break with one final, unexpected drug deal to complete before he can go totally straight. R.I.P.: a career criminal must come up with a large sum of money to pay for his father's medical expenses, despite his yearning for a crime-free life. The Zealot: a religious fanatic on a mission from God to rid the city of filth. Cat Man: a kind and trusting homeless man wanders the city looking for new friends. Like the city in which it takes place, Awaiting Identification is a story of hope, identity, and above all, redemption.",

Hearts of Fire is an exciting and engaging fantasy especially written for young people that tells a beautiful story of a young girl who has to deal with the untimely death of her beloved father, a long and dangerous journey through unknown territory in search of her mother and brother, and encounters with soldiers of war and enemies out to capture her.

"description": "Could There Be An Unknown Terrorist Cell in Detroit Michigan USA? These days, you never know who could be a terrorist, or how a terrorist organization operates. You also often don't know what the motivation is to commit a terrorist act. You could be driving along the highway, minding your own business, and suddenly you find yourself right in the middle of the planning of a potentially heinous event; one that will be carried out by people you never thought would be involved in this situation. Cast a Long Shadow is a page-turning thriller, full of twists, turns, unexpected and sudden relationships, and local, national, and international intrigue. How does a woman who just wants to grow her music career end up involved with a horrible group of terrorists posing as record producers? How does a man driving down the interstate end up in the middle of an ever-thickening terrorist plot? Wait! What will happen next? Wait! Did that really happen?",
