Night of the Jaguar
￥77.49

They turn to Paz, famous throughout the city for cracking open two previous, impossible-to-solve cases, and for reasons he doesn't dare share, he agrees to come out of his self-imposed retirement to track the killer.As Paz investigates, Moie finds refuge with a group of ecologically minded activists who treat the strange little man as a pet until they find out exactly what mission brought him to the United States and that it's somehow connected to the grisly murders that are occurring with frightening regularity. The deeper Paz digs into the case, the closer to home the danger gets: his investigation opens the door to his mysterious and shocking past and he slowly begins to realize that the dreams he and his family are having could mean the death of his beloved daughter. To save her life -- and his own -- he must reach into the deepest corners of his soul and find the strength to hold fast against the irresistible pull of the spirit world.Only Michael Gruber is capable of combining heart-stopping action with a ferociously intelligent examination of what makes us human, in novels that have been praised as "bold . . . provocative, and frightening" (USA Today) and "dazzling, literate and downright scary" (Cleveland Plain Dealer).

A fascinating and fact–filled collection of the greatest and dumbest missteps of America's bloodiest conflict For four years in the middle of the nineteenth century, brother fought brother on American soil. No American war ever had higher stakes than, or changed a nation as profoundly as, the terrible conflict between the Union and the Confederacy. A dark historical panorama populated by a remarkable cast of colorful characters, the War Between the States was indelibly marked by both brilliant military maneuvers and mind-boggling battlefield blunders that gravely threatened the continuation of the American Experiment. With suitable irreverence, Bill Fawcett chronicles the unbelievably disastrous decisions made by both sides in this monumental clash, including: ?The Second Battle of Bull Run, where Robert E. Lee looks smart beating a remarkably stupid general ?How the Union's shortsighted Colonel James Ripley's bad decision arms the Confederate Army better than his own ?Lincoln's roller-coaster search for competent commanders, a long-running dark comedy of tragic errors ?A golden opportunity squandered: General Lee fails to exploit a vulnerable Union and capture Washington, D.C. ?Pickett's disastrous charge and the many, many Confederate command failures at Gettysburg ?Lincoln's contentious draft policy that nearly burns New York City to the ground
