The Legend of Bobcat Bill: A Sheriff Thomas Peacemaker Mystery


Book Description

Thomas Peacemaker, having left behind a career as a wily Texas Ranger, leads a quiet life as a county sheriff in New Hampshire, enjoying the pristine natural beauty of New England as much as the chai tea lattes he gets from his local Starbucks. But when Jacques Fortier, the retired hockey star known as the Johnstown Jet, is found dead under a hexagram painted in blood, Sheriff Peacemaker - along with a crew of maverick former Rangers, two Zulu warriors, and his trusty bobcat Bill - is on the case. As Peacemaker begins to investigate the case of the murdered hockey star, he realizes he's treading on thin ice - and as the townspeople try to warn him, he doesn't know what demons lurk beneath the sleepy town's serene surface. After secrets emerge about a history of occult activities in Johnstown and a series of scandals in Fortier's past, Peacemaker realizes that his quiet county is haunted in more ways than one - and it's going to take a magical elixir of African witch doctoring and Texan know-how to purge Exeter County of evil once and for all.




A-10s Over Kosovo


Book Description

First published in 2003. The NATO-led Operation Allied Force was fought in 1999 to stop Serb atrocities against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. This war, as noted by the distinguished military historian John Keegan, "marked a real turning point . . . and proved that a war can be won by airpower alone." Colonels Haave and Haun have organized firsthand accounts of some of the people who provided that airpower-the members of the 40th Expeditionary Operations Group. Their descriptions-a new wingman's first combat sortie, a support officer's view of a fighter squadron relocation during combat, and a Sandy's leadership in finding and rescuing a downed F-117 pilot-provide the reader with a legitimate insight into an air war at the tactical level and the airpower that helped convince the Serbian president, Slobodan Milosevic, to capitulate.
