Unlike other fictional detectives who approach murder as a personal affront, Gastner sees himself as the victims' advocate, striving to even the scales of justice for those no longer able to do it themselves."—Booklist When two baffling crimes strike Posadas County, New Mexico, Undersheriff Bill Gastner knows they're connected somehow. But as the case heats up he may have to call in reinforcements... Bill Gastner, Undersheriff of Posadas County, may be getting on in years, but he's still as sharp as any other small town sheriff.

Although the other county sheriffs want to arrest Fuentes and be done with the case, Bill isn't convinced. No spring chicken himself, Bill summons his former deputy, Estelle Reyes-Guzman, from Mexico to help clear the old man of suspicion. She's used to handling people who call her a 'lady cop' and can take anything thrown her way. Eventually this generation-spanning law enforcement team finds a thread tying all the crimes together—a killer with no conscience. In this thrilling addition to Steven F. Havill's posadas County Mystery Series, Undersheriff Bill Gastner will have to rely on former deputy Estelle Reyes-Guzman to help him unravel a harrowing case that spans all of Posadas County. Check out the iconic series: Perfect for fans of C.J. Box and Michael McGarrity For readers who enjoy police procedurals and Southwest desert mysteries

Twice Buried, Still Alive
Author: Rivky Weinstock
Publisher: Feldheim Publishers
ISBN: 9781568714134
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Relates the Holocaust experiences of Yitzchok (Beno) Donath, based on interviews and including comments by Weinstock. Donath was born in 1925 in Pressburg, Slovakia, to an Orthodox family, and remained true to his religion throughout the war. In 1942 he travelled to Nitra, where he helped Rabbi Michael Weissmandel in his rescue work. He then fled to Hungary, living first in Nove Zamky and then in Papa, with his parents and three siblings. The entire family was caught and sent to the Sarvar internment camp, and then to Auschwitz. Donath worked in the kitchen and succeeded in keeping his father and brother alive until almost the end of the war. His father died in January 1945 and his brother perished on a transport to Ravensbrück. In that camp, Donath himself was assumed dead and buried up to his face, but was rescued by a Jewish American soldier. After the war he returned to Pressburg and was reunited with his two sisters; his mother was killed in Auschwitz. Donath helped recover ca. 20 Jewish children whom Polish families refused to hand over after caring for them during the Holocaust. In 1948, unwilling to live under communism in Czechoslovakia, he escaped to Vienna.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize–winning novel The Remains of the Day comes a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory.

As they are joined on their journey by a Saxon warrior, his orphan charge, and an illustrious knight, Axl and Beatrice slowly begin to remember the dark and troubled past they all share. By turns savage, suspenseful, and intensely moving, The Buried Giant is a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory.
