A new cop, Dinah, arrives to assist. Smart, athletic and absolutely fearless, Segal is impressed and welcomes her to the team. Segal's life gets complicated. The victim was the brother of North Carolina's first lady. Segal can't decide if she is sincere or devious, but he can't deny a powerful attraction. A second murder is discovered. Different part of town, different weapon, but none-the-less related to the first. Possible serial killer? The investigation leads Segal's team through more twists and turns than the mountain roads around the city. From fifteenth century art, to Romeo and Juliet, shady real estate deals to crooked politicians and amateur militia of gun-worshiping louts, will the team be able to crack this case before disaster at the Renaissance fair?"--

Wendy, master of art / by Scott, Walter,1985-author.;
"[In Wendy, Master of Art,] Scott manages a rare thing: the sharpness of his satire doesn't preclude a realistic rendering of personhood, and the seeming flatness opens up, at every turn, to a depth of feeling. His mastery of his characters' faces and gestures is also wonderful, his line quick and sure and expressive." -The New Yorker. The existential dread of making (or not making) art takes center stage in this trenchant satire of MFA culture. Wendy is an aspiring contemporary artist whose adventures have taken her to galleries, art openings, and parties in Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Toronto. In Wendy, Master of Art, Walter Scott's sly wit and social commentary zero in on MFA culture as our hero hunkers down to complete a master of fine arts at the University of Hell in small-town Ontario. Finally Wendy has space to refine her artistic practice, but in this calm, all of her unresolved insecurities and fears explode at full volume--usually while hungover. What is the post-Jungian object as symbol? Will she ever understand her course reading--or herself? What if she's just not smart enough? As she develops as an artist and a person, Wendy also finds herself in a teaching position, mentoring a perpetually sobbing grade-grubbing undergrad. Scott's incisively funny take on art school pretensions isn't the only focus. Wendy, Master of Art explores the politics of open relationships and polyamory, performative activism, the precariousness of a life in the arts, as well as the complexities of gender identity, sex work, drug use, and more. At its heart, this is a book about the give and take of community--about learning to navigate empathy and boundaries, and to respect herself. It is deeply funny and endlessly relatable as it shows Wendy growing from millennial art party girl to successful artist, friend, teacher--and Master of Art.

The invisible spy : Churchill's Rockefeller Center spy ring and America's first secret agent of World War II / by Maier, Thomas,1956-author.(CARDINAL)384648;
"As a tough but smart Italian American kid, Ernest Cuneo played Ivy League football at Columbia University and was in the old Brooklyn Dodgers NFL franchise before becoming a city hall lawyer and "Brain Trust" aide to President Roosevelt. While on the payroll of national radio columnist Walter Winchell, Cuneo mingled with the famous and powerful. But his status as a spy remained a secret, invisible, hiding in plain sight. During this time, Cuneo began a close friendship with British spy Ian Fleming and would even inspire Fleming's James Bond novels. He also began a love affair with one of Churchill's agents at Rockefeller Center, Margaret Watson, and eventually helped the British launch a covert campaign against Nazi conspirators hidden in America, an espionage war unbeknownst to many. Cuneo was America's first WWII spy, and his transformation from a gridiron athlete into a high-stakes intelligence go-between and political influencer is one of the great untold stories of American espionage. From the bestselling author and producer of two hit TV series, Mafia Spies and Masters of Sex, Thomas Maier delves into the little-known tales behind the Rockefeller Center spy operation and the origins of American intelligence, with vivid insights about many top twentieth-century figures, including Churchill, FDR, and later JFK."--
