When Sheriff's Deputy Lucky Dey discovers his little brother has been murdered, he'll stop at nothing until he takes down the cop-killer. Hell-bent on getting answers, he disobeys his superiors and follows the trail of a killer, who's driving a hijacked truck full of illegal contraband.
Lucky finds himself in L.A., trapped in a storm of media and political interference. The entire city is whirling in the wake of a major star's fatal accident and people want a story--a story that might be more tangled than anyone ever imagined. With peril and mayhem around every corner, the risk-addicted cop might not be so lucky this time around.
And I picked up my Amazon First Read book for the month.

Growing up under Fascist censorship in Nazi Germany, Ruth Rappaport absorbed a forbidden community of ideas in banned books. After fleeing her home in Leipzig at fifteen and losing both parents to the Holocaust, Ruth drifted between vocations, relationships, and countries, searching for belonging and purpose. When she found her calling in librarianship, Ruth became not only a witness to history but an agent for change as well.
Culled from decades of diaries, letters, and photographs, this epic true story reveals a driven woman who survived persecution, political unrest, and personal trauma through a love of books. It traces her activism from the Zionist movement to the Red Scare to bibliotherapy in Vietnam and finally to the Library of Congress, where Ruth made an indelible mark and found a home. Connecting it all, one constant thread: Ruth’s passion for the printed word, and the haven it provides—a haven that, as this singularly compelling biography proves, Ruth would spend her life making accessible to others. This wasn’t just a career for Ruth Rappaport. It was her purpose.
I like the looks of A WELL-READ WOMAN.
ENJOY your reading week.
It sounds like her life was interesting, if difficult.
A Well-Read Woman looks good to me too. I hope you enjoy both books!
Thanks for stopping by!
Blood Money looks really good. Have a great week!
I hadn’t heard of the series before the author contacted me. There’s 4 full-length stories so far.
Both of these sound fabulous. Hope you enjoy them. Thanks for visiting my blog.

I think I will. Thanks for stopping by,
These look good – Happy Reading!
Thanks!
Enjoy your books! I haven’t ventured into audio books yet. My mind seems to wander when someone is talking to me.
Your comment made me think of how many times my mind wanders when real, live people talk to me.
The Richardson looks like it’ll be an adventure. Hope you enjoy them!
