<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780811218351</link>
<description><![CDATA["A spare, exquisite gem of a novel, Jenny Erpenbeck's Visitation stopped me cold.  The story follows the life of one house on the banks of a Bradenburg lake, outside of Berlin, and the inhabitants who reside there over the course of one hundred years.  A fierce and wildly intelligent look at how we live our lives, both in respite and in duress, which things have meaning, and what we need to call a place a home. Visitation is a biography of a place, a story of displacement and irreparable loss, and an intimate and deeply personal exploration of the private places we cultivate to house our souls. This book will change you." -- Rachel Meier, The Booksmith, San Francisco, CA]]></description>

There are more than a few moments in his life when he was the subject of bad press, but there's very little in the way of revenge.  Concerning the most recent financial collapse, Rohatyn posits that the government needs to return to the regulation safeguards that have been dismantled since the Reagan years.

<description><![CDATA["This is an amazingly delicious and dark collection.  Every decade from the 1920s forward is represented by at least one classic selection, with many from the last 20 years included.  These stories invariably end in a nastier manner than you'd first suspect. I hope a second volume is considered very soon!" -- Carl Hoffman, Boswell Book Company, Milwaukee, WI]]></description>

<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780312381936</link>
<description><![CDATA["Archer Mayor works part-time with the medical examiner in Vermont and makes good use of some special knowledge in this new Joe Gunther case, where the calling card of an apparent serial killer is a drop of blood glistening at each crime scene. None of the victims are related, and each has died in a way that evokes memories of terrible tragedy in his or her life. Another suspenseful entry in this very popular series." -- Barbara Peters, The Poisoned Pen, Scottsdale, AZ]]></description>
