The Morning Star discovers that he must find a suitable replacement for his throne in Hell before he is granted an audience with Yahweh.

Agnes has something Algernon wants - a son named Jimmy Christophe. Jimmy Christophe knows that something about his life isn't quite right. His best friend Mel Talbott thinks Jimmy is going crazy, his girlfriend Joy Felder wants him to open up to her and Christophe's mother Agnes makes no qualms about the day she will be rid of her son forever. Mixed up in Darius Algernon's quest are a myriad of characters including an immortal Roman who made the mistake of pissing off a certain son of God two thousand years ago. Angels, demons and dreams abound in this tale. The reader will meet some familiar faces - Gabriel, Raphael and Metatron. Other angels with less press included are Tarquam, the spirit of autumn, Mihir, the healer of the earth, and the angel of tame beasts who goes by the name of Behemial. Also, see why some clowns with their painted happy faces are really manifestations of pure evil. Don't be left in the dark. Read this literary fantasy and find out what they never taught you in catechism or Sunday school.

A veteran Chicago cop who’s also a mensch, “Lieberman is endearing, wise in his crochets, weary with his wisdom” (The Washington Post Book World). Thirty-three years ago, Connie Gower pulled a gun in a synagogue. He had come to avenge his brother, a two-bit hoodlum who’d been killed in a shootout with a young cop named Abe Lieberman. But Lieberman outsmarted him, and put Gower in jail. After serving his time, for the next few decades Gower bounced around the Chicago underworld, making a name for himself as a second-rate mob enforcer. Fate is a funny thing. When Gower gets arrested in Yuma, Arizona, it’s an aged Abe Lieberman who goes to bring him home, leaving his longtime partner Bill Hanrahan back in the windy city to put up with the hot air of his racist substitute. Handcuffed to each other, Lieberman and his prisoner are about to board the plane when a geriatric janitor shuffles towards them and shoots Gower dead. Connie Gower was scum, but killing him is still murder, and Lieberman is determined to find out who ordered the hit—and why. Edgar Award winner Stuart M. Kaminsky’s The Last Dark Place is “an entertaining crime novel that should send new readers in search of its predecessors” (Publishers Weekly).

The problems of this world are so set in people who must strive to be able to find themselves in sight of solutions of their own; escapism in time may shortly relieve them, and theyll be able to relax from these issues. Whatever time they can consider timeout to let their hair down is a much-needed part of life for them and, as such, always considered a high point from where they are more freely able to share things that they are not able to say to others around them in their own place from where the problems arose. This is a common need of so many. As I am a good listener, I would see if maybe I would be able to do something simple in a short time; it is always considered a good thing to be able to help them enjoy the short time in reason to the answers they needed more than they may have been able to search for or indulge in the same free thought given to us in our spare time. This is what they say about time; it is to be considered precious for this reason. And these people, being our friends, are just as important to our night or day and company that indulging them is always considered to be the best solution as we are never ones, any of us, who will leave our friends behind. Even leaving them feeling what would ultimately be impressed on all our free time together in the manner of what those feelings meant to them. The words for such understandings could only be passed in such little time we had to consider. The same things sound the identical motions of poetry designed in the art of the occurrences that create such words.
