It's Not About the Gun
|
|||||||||||
Author: Kathy Stearman Offered by: Speilburg Literary Agency Publisher: Pegasus Books |
Title DescriptionAfter spending more than twenty-years years as a Special Agent with the FBI, Kathy Stearman recounts the global experiences that shaped her life—and the mixed feelings that she now holds about the sacrifices she had to make to survive in a man’s world. When former FBI Agent Kathy Stearman read in the New York Times that sixteen women were suing the FBI for discrimination at the training academy, she was surprised to see the women come forward—no one ever had before. But the truth behind their accusations resonated. After a twenty-six-year career in the Bureau, Kathy Stearman knows from personal experience that this type of behavior has been prevalent for decades. Stearman’s It’s Not About the Gun examines the influence of attitude and gender in her journey to becoming FBI Legal Attaché, the most senior FBI representative in a foreign office. When she entered the FBI Academy in 1987, Stearman was one of about 600 women in a force of 10,000 agents. While there, she evolved into an assertive woman, working her way up the ranks and across the globe to hold positions that very few women have held before. And yet, even at the height of her career, Stearman had to check... About AuthorKathy Stearman, retired FBI Special Agent, spent several years as head of FBI offices in south-central Asia, China, and Mongolia, a position held by few women. Her memoir, It’s Not About the Gun: Lessons from My Global Career as a Female FBI Agent, is her first book. When not writing, Kathy and her husband, Keith, continue to explore the world. https://kathystearman.com/ Reviews“In It’s Not About the Gun, Kathy Stearman chronicles, with raw honesty, her experiences in the male-dominated culture of the FBI... She demonstrates the toughness required to be a female FBI agent, while maintaining the sensitivity needed in the oftentimes challenging and disquieting investigative environments in which she found herself throughout her career. I cannot overstate the profound respect I feel for Kathy and what she has accomplished.” -Tom Feuntes, former FBI Assistant Director, Interpol Executive Committee, and Senior Law Enforcement Analyst for CNN |

The Strange Case of Isaac Crawley
|
|||||||||||
Author: James Markert Offered by: Speilburg Literary Agency Publisher: Holland-Brown Books |
Title DescriptionIsaac Crawley has just returned home from London and is obsessed with the Jekyll and Hyde play, which has opened at Macaulay’s Theater in Louisville, Kentucky. On the fourth night of the show, a body is found on the riverbank, butchered like Jack the Ripper's first victim, and the police think Isaac may be the Ripper himself. More bodies are found, eerily linked to the Ripper, and as evidence points toward Isaac, his former alienist, Dr. Blackwood, steps in, locking him away in the Lakeland Asylum in a desperate effort to keep him safe. What Dr. Blackwood discovers in Isaac’s mind needs to be destroyed to save Isaac, but it also holds the key to finding the real killer. About AuthorJames Markert is the author of four previous novels, all historical fiction that often wanders into darkness. He holds a history degree from the University of Louisville and won an IPPY award for his debut, A White Wind Blew. He's also a tennis pro and a screenwriter. https://jamesmarkert.com/ ReviewsAll Translations Available Manuscript Available“James Markert takes readers on a whirlwind tour of late 19th century Louisville, a bustling river city populated by rogues from every strata of society. ISAAC CRAWLEY is a richly textured tale of murder, deception, and opium. Lots of opium.” — Andrew Shaffer, NYTimes bestselling author of HOPE NEVER DIES “James Markert's THE STRANGE CASE OF ISAAC CRAWLEY is a vividly detailed and richly researched historical thriller that grabbed me the same way Caleb Carr's THE ALIENIST did. It brings a forgotten time and forgotten incidents to three-dimensional life and had me turning pages late into the night. Don't miss this smashing tale!” —David Bell, USA Today Bestselling Author of KILL ALL YOUR DARLINGS “Fear of the Ripper’s bloodthirst has traveled on the wind from London to Louisville, leaving the mighty Ohio River crimsoned and the city’s residents trembling. Markert’s novel of murder and madness is heavy with a foggy lamppost atmosphere, but goes beyond moody ambiance in its remarkable psychological turns and even surprisingly tender moments between the cast of vivid, memorable characters. An engrossing novel.” -... |

Author: Melissa Lenhardt Offered by: Speilburg Literary Agency Publisher: Graydon House |
Title DescriptionTrue love never fades—and old secrets never die… Nora hasn’t looked back. Not since she fled Texas to start a new life. Away from her father’s volatile temper and the ever-watchful gaze of her claustrophobically conservative small town, Nora has freed herself. She can live—and love—however she wants. The only problem is that she also left behind the one woman she can’t forget. Now tragedy calls her back home to confront her past—and reconcile her future. Sophie seems to have everything—a wonderful daughter, a successful husband and a rewarding career. Yet underneath that perfection lies an explosive secret. She still yearns for Nora—her best friend and first love—despite all the years between them. Keeping her true self hidden hasn’t been easy, but it’s been necessary. So when Sophie finds out that Nora has returned, she hopes Nora’s stay is short. The life she has built depends on it. But they both find that first love doesn’t fade easily. Memories come to light, passion ignites and old feelings resurface. As the forces of family and intolerance that once tore them apart begin to reemerge, they realize some things may never change—unless th... About AuthorMelissa Lenhardt writes Women’s fiction, mysteries, and historical fiction. When she’s not writing she’s thinking, “I really should be writing.” She lives in Texas with her family and two Golden Retrievers. The Secret of You and Me is her seventh novel. Reviews“A compelling story of second chances and being true to yourself.” -Harper Bliss, the bestselling author of Seasons of Love “An emotional landslide of a novel that kept me gripped from first page to last." —Clare Lydon, the bestselling author of Before You Say I Do “At turns sweet, sexy, and always respectful of these characters and their journeys to their most authentic selves, Lenhardt's wonderful book is highly recommended for all fiction collections.” —Booklist |
