“

unputdownable!” Susie Moloney, author of The Thirteen

As Egypt Fisher learns, there’s a power to be mined in keeping secrets, and lies quickly take on a life of their own.

1930. The boathouse community of Cootes Paradise is under siege. The squatters’ colony of shacks that lines the shores of Dundas marsh stands in the way of a Hamilton politician’s City Beautiful plans. When a handsome drifter settles there, Egypt Fisher and her mother both fall under his spell. No one expects Egypt’s gambling con-man father to return after a mysterious six-year absence. But he does and he’s furious. Unhinged by jealousy and a harrowing brush with the local mafia at a cockfight, he reveals a family secret that sets Egypt’s world off-kilter and poisons her relationship with her mother. When Egypt tries to turn the situation to her own advantage, her lies set in motion a series of events with devastating consequences.

The Fishers of Paradise is a story about choices and consequences, and a family pushed to the edge. In striving to cope with the emotional fallout from decisions made in the past, as well as all that fate and circumstance level at them, the Fishers discover that hope and love can thrive and families can reinvent themselves.

Praise for The Wind Seller:
“The novel is a literary page-turner, churning with thrilling scenes…seamlessly constructed.”
– The Globe & Mail

“The Wind Seller is carefully crafted and contains splendid descriptions of the Fundy coast and its communities…Ms. Preston is deft at creating a number of simultaneous plots and intricately detailed characters, smoothly moving her story to its completion without abandoning any of them along the way.”
– The Chronicle Herald

“a rollicking saga that’s lusty and satisfying. . . .Preston has an adroit way with a plot; when she segues from one character’s storyline to another, in the narrative’s present day or in flashback, it is seamless. Her characters are believable, resilient and quirky, and her prose is thrilling.”
– The Hamilton Spectator

Praise for Tent of Blue:
“Tent of Blue is an ambitious debut novel…Preston’s rich and vivid evocation of the two main characters and their vastly differing milieus is crucial to the novel’s themes: Yvonne and Anton’s relationships with their mothers (not to mention their absent fathers) mirror one another, while the backstage sequences of Yvonne’s music-hall past provide a fascinating counterpoint to Anton’s furtive adolescent longings. Preston shifts easily between the two narrative strands, never allowing one to overshadow the other.”
– Quill & Quire

The story of a boy and his mother striving to create themselves as they learn to live heroically, despite the scathing violence of love. A novel that lingers long after the final page.
–Shauna Singh Baldwin, author of What the Body Remembers

Superbia 2 (Book Two of the Superbia Series) *************************

Superbia 2 (Book Two of the Superbia Series)
Bernard Schaffer

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Action & Adventure, Urban Life, Fiction

Rating: 4.6 – {13 Reviews}

Price may change without notice! Due to international copyrights, not all titles will be free outside the United States.

*************************

very cop in the world says, “I’m gonna write a book someday” or that if they tried to tell you about The Job, “It would be enough to fill a novel.” Only a few ever follow through, and rarely as poignantly or filled with personal risk as former-detective Bernard Schaffer. After the publication of the first Superbia, Schaffer was stripped of his rank and bounced back to uniformed patrol. No one will ever know how much truth was actually enclosed in that first book in the series. No one except the ones who were there. With Superbia 2, Frank O’Ryan, the not-even-promoted (and easily removed) detective from the first book returns to deal with the fall-out from Vic Ajax’s death and the power-hungry Chief Errinyes. If that weren’t enough, he’s in hot pursuit of drug dealers and a beautiful new CI with grabby hands. The tension escalates when a man violently murders his wife and disabled daughter and Frank vows revenge.

Superbia 2 picks up where the first best-selling entry in the series left off and continues the groundbreaking series about what it’s like to wear the badge. Not the fancy places you always hear about like New York and LA. The down and dirty suburbs where there’s no back up and only the suck-ups survive.

Frank leaned back in his chair and folded his arms. “You realize that as a probationary employee, you can be fired for any reason. Disobeying a direct order would mean instant termination.”
“I understand that, sir.”
“Anybody who is fired from a police job will never get another one. Nobody will ever hire you again to be a cop. You’ll be delivering pizzas for the rest of your life.”
“I understand, sir.”
“So do you want to reconsider your answer?” Frank said.
Reynaldo wilted, sinking down in his chair under their penetrating stares. “The woman is screaming?” he said.
“That’s right.”
“Then I will still go inside.”
Iolaus leaned forward and barked, “There is no room in a police department for people who cannot follow simple orders, Mr. Francisco. Do you understand that?”
“I do, sir,” Reynaldo said.
“So why would you do the one thing you were specifically directed not to?” Frank said. “Think how hard you’ve worked to get to even this point. You took a written exam with over a hundred other applicants. You passed the first two interviews and are one of the last two people left for this job. Are you seriously going to risk throwing that all away just because some dumb woman is yelling?”
Reynaldo swallowed hard, trying to steady himself. “I apologize, sir. But, my answer is still yes.”
Frank folded his hands on the table. His voice was calm and pleased when he said, “Tell me why.”
“Because I would rather lose my career doing the right thing than to keep it by being a coward.”

The Superbia police procedural law enforcement Kindle books are a series of police thrillers from author Bernard Schaffer. The author is a second generation police veteran who grew up hearing police stories at the dinner table.
There are multiple police procedural Kindle books available, but Schaffer’s voice is clearly the most authentic. His work is often compared to fellow lawman turned author, Joseph Wambaugh and Ed McBain, author of Cop Hater.
