Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Every night, after the kids have gone to bed, he searches for their shoes. They might be anywhere: under the family room couch, in the middle of the kitchen floor, on the basement landing, or if it's warm enough, out on the lawn, growing damp with dew. This is one of his contributions to the efficient running of the household, maybe his most important contribution, though not the most visible. If anyone has noticed, none has said a word. He performs the task quietly, without announcing himself, and takes private pleasure in knowing how useful he has been.Paul Haberman was happy living alone in the city until he met Cynthia, an enchanting suburban single mother. After he moves to New Jersey to marry her, Paul's life reshapes itself dramatically around his new family and home, evolving over the years in ways he could never have imagined.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Artie Cohen is a good-looking New York cop with a taste for girls and jazz and with a secret past. In Red Mercury Blues he is confronted with a case that drags him painfully back into that past, first into the heart of the Brighton Beach mafia, and then deeper still into the terrifying world of atomic smuggling and the secrets of the lethal but elusive substance known as Red Mercury.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. As New York basks in the finest Indian summer of the century, no one notices the feral teenagers in Central Park or the new, angry class of homeless living near the river. No one connects them to the dead Englishman in the swimming pool of the city's most exclusive apartment building, or to the second-generation Russian gangsters who are buying respectability on the upper East Side. No one notices because everyone is at the party. Artie Cohen, quitting his contented new life as a low-risk private investigator, finds himself in London, where the plot uncoils with a second series of murders, a heartbreaking encounter with his longtime girlfriend, Lily Hanes, and a meeting with a figure out of Artie's Russian past. 'Perfidious Albion, anybody's for a price,' Artie's father always said. But Artie finds London surprising, exciting, a city high on itself, the markets cranked up, a place ready to blow or sink when a millennial flood threatens to sweep it all away, and the rust on the windows in the riverside warehouses runs red in the rain.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Trust Me tells the story of a turbulent year in the life of Lewis Nelson and his daughter Skye, who spend their time together at the edge of a fragile wilderness in Western Oregon. As a last-ditch effort to save his marriage, Lewis?an East Coast suburban Jew who has run from his roots?buys a cabin on a wild and scenic river in the Cascade foothills; after the marriage falls apart, he moves to the woods and makes the long commute every morning to Salem, the state capital, where he works a tedious government job. Skye stays with him on weekends, leaving behind her middle-school friends, her cellular service, her cat, and her mom in exchange for ancient trees and clear water and moss-covered rocks. In fifty-two vignettes?one for each week of the year?that alternate between Lewis?s perspective and Skye?s, the novel traces their days foraging for mushrooms and searching for newts, arguing over jigsaw puzzles and confronting menacing neighbors, hosting skeptical visitors and taking city jaunts, finding pleasure in small moments of wonder and coping with devastating loss. By turns comic and heartbreaking, Trust Me is a study of the uneasy bond between a hapless father and his precocious daughter, of their love for a complex and changing landscape, of the necessity and precariousness of the relationships and places we cherish most.…

Hardback. Etat : Fair. The first novel in an exciting crime trilogy starring Russian-Jewish cop Artie Cohen (the detective every women would like to find in her bed. --Guardian) Reggie Nadelson's new Artie Cohen mystery begins when a jogger finds a kid's clothes drenched in blood and buried in the half frozen earth near Brooklyn's Brighton Beach. The action in the story takes place in south Manhattan where Artie lives, an area still traumatized by the loss of the Twin Towers, and coastal Brooklyn -- Brighton Beach, all boardwalk, beach and Russians; Coney Island with its wrecked amusement park; and Sheepshead Bay with its inlets and fishing boats. The plot revolves around the killing of one child and the abduction of another, and the subsequent outbreak of fear. Fear is the real story here. The fear that explodes when two children are involved and still others seem to go missing. The way the city is still locked in the terror that's never gone away since 9/11. The constant presence of barricades and barriers and soldiers with AKs is part of the New York domestic landscape. It's also about Artie's relationship with the Russian community in Brooklyn; the way the story reels him back over and over, the way he can never really escape. From the Hardcover edition.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Winner of the H.L. Davis Award for Short Fiction Winner of the GLCA's 2005 New Writers Award This collection of interrelated short stories are graceful, vivid narratives that bring into sudden focus the spirit and the stubborn resilience of the Brickmans, a Jewish family of four living in suburban New Jersey Daniel Brickman forges obstinately through his own plots and desires as he struggles to balance his sense of identity with his longing to gain acceptance from his family and peers. In "Kosher," Daniel's disdain for his parents' values and lifestyle, for their materialism and need for security, leads him to take a job as a telemarketer for the Robowski Fund for the Disabled, a charity benefiting two people only: Daniel and Helen Robowski. And in "Young Radicals," Daniel gathers research for a thesis on early Soviet history by interviewing his grandfather, now a retiree in Florida, who painted factories and sang Communist work songs in 1920s Leningrad before immigrating to America. This fierce collection provides an unblinking examination of family life and the human instinct for attachment.…
