Book Description
No, this title is not a typo. The story is not about tea. Its about people, including some old codgers who have survived through thick and thin for lots of years. Theyve made this possible primarily by their friendship on a golf course, by their respect for one another, and in large measure, by their personal grit. The story involves an ex-professional golfer whose wife died from cancer, leaving him with a little girl who has grown up and now faces problems of her own. It features one of the wealthiest women in the country, a romance or two, an unsolved old murder case, a crucial golf match, and some zany antics in small-town Middle America.

Book Description
The Blue Devils have received very little attention from jazz historians, though the band members and the writer Ralph Ellison (who sometimes sat in with them) spoke with conviction about their sterling musicianship and their legendary ability to defeat all competitors in battles of the bands. Chronicling the ten years the band was officially together, Douglas Daniels delves into the potent social and cultural history of the 1920s and the Depression to show the era's influence on the group's founding as well as on the players' careers.

Book Description
On the run, accused of murder. One cop believes him. And it's her job to bring him in. Rebecca Mayfield has always been a by-the-book cop until Richie Amalfi enters her life--and makes her want to throw the book at him! Now, Richie's accused of murder and runs to Rebecca to help him prove his innocence. She's completely flummoxed by this, but the more she learns about the case, the more convinced she is that he's not guilty. Will she break all the rules to help him, or do her job the way she's been taught? And what are the consequences for either choice? As dangers lurk and more deaths happen, Rebecca discovers there's a lot more to Richie than she thought and a lot more to like than she imagined, she fears not only for her life, but also her heart. If you've missed TV shows like Castle or Remington Steele, you'll enjoy reading about Rebecca and Richie because they, too, give you mystery and humor with a touch of romance. Start this first book in the best-selling Inspector Rebecca Mayfield "Clock" series, and you'll soon find the hours seem to fly by ... "Joanne Pence is a master of the mystery genre.
