When Mr. Jackson is almost killed, Peter and the rest of his friends seek revenge not knowing they’re going up against villains with international clout, including security guard Schwartz, a former CIA agent with mob connections. While on the hunt for Mr. Jackson’s attacker, Peter also deals with difficulties at home as his sister fights cancer. In the midst of this chaos, Peter learns his brother Chen, presumed dead, is actually alive in China. According to the crooked Hong Kong police, Chen is a murderer—but there’s much more to that story than meets the eye. It soon becomes apparent the same organization that conspired to kill Mr. Jackson is also the reason for Chen’s disappearance in China. To find justice and protect the people he loves, young Peter must become a vigilante as he faces down not only the NYPD but also corrupt FBI agents who will do anything to silence Peter and keep the horrible truth under wraps.

Book Description
In this major reconsideration of Herman Melville’s life and work, Michael Paul Rogin shows that Melville’s novels are connected both to the important issues of his time and to the exploits of his patrician and politically prominent family—which, three generations after its Revolutionary War heroes, produced an alcoholic, a bankrupt, and a suicide. Rogin argues that a history of Melville’s fiction, and of the society represented in it, is also a history of the writer’s family. He describes how that family first engaged Melville in and then isolated him from American political and social life. Melville’s brother and father-in-law are shown to link Moby-Dick to the crisis over expansion and slavery. White-Jacket and Billy Budd, which concern shipboard conflicts between masters and seamen, are related to an execution at sea in which Melville’s cousin played a decisive part. The figure of Melville’s father haunts The Confidence Man, whose subject is the triumph of the marketplace and the absence of authority. A provocative study of one of our supreme literary artists.

Morgan’s empire from its obscure beginnings in Victorian London to the financial crisis of 1987, acclaimed author Ron Chernow paints a fascinating portrait of the family’s private saga and the rarefied world of the American and British elite in which they moved—a world that included Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford, Franklin Roosevelt, Nancy Astor, and Winston Churchill.
