Lieutenant Jack Slade, a homicide detective for the Las Vegas Police Department, with only six months experience as the department's lead homicide detective, finds himself charged with solving his first drive by shooting murder. A popular radio personality has been brutally gunned down on the Las Vegas Strip, leaving virtually no clues, and the only witness Slade has seems to be unreliable. The crime mysteriously and tragically leads to the death of five people. He teams up with an ex-jock, Turner Blakeney, a rookie detective, who uses the techniques of Sherlock Holmes, and with the media nipping at their heals, they attempt to solve the near unsolvable crime. Their investigation leads them all the way to the Adirondacks in Upstate New York, where they join with the NYPD, in a dangerous mission, designed to capture their number one suspect. On the rebound from an unpleasant divorce, Lieutenant Slade, stumbles into a love-hate relationship with his assistant, Sergeant Lucy Bryant, that complicates his life and leads to a day of decision. JACK SLADE and the Unreliable Witness is a thriller that's a masterful blend of dialogue and suspense.

Orde Charles Wingate. Winston Churchill thought him a military genius; others considered him greatly over-rated; a few even thought him mad. His overriding passion was for Zionism, a cause which he embraced when posted to British-ruled Palestine in 1936. There he raised the Special Night Squads, an irregular force which decimated Arab rebel bands and taught a future generation of Israeli generals (including Moshe Dayan and Yitzhak Rabin) how to fight. In 1941, Wingate led another guerrilla-style force into Italian-occupied Ethiopia and was instrumental in restoring Emperor Haile Selassie to his throne. But his most famous campaign was conducted behind enemy lines in Burma, where his Chindits shattered the myth of Japanese invincibility in jungle fighting. A brilliant maverick, Wingate was a difficult if not impossible subordinate. He was also - as this riveting new study reveals - an inspiring leader.
