EPITAPH
A Novel of the O.K. Corral
Mary Doria Russell
"Russell's pointedly anti-epic anti-romance is so epic and romantic that it whets
the reader's appetite for more." — starred, Kirkus Reviews
Vicious politics. A partisan media. A president scorned by half the populace.
Smuggling and gang warfare on the Mexican border. Armed citizens taking the
law into their own hands. That was America in 1881. All those forces came to
bear on October 26, when Doc Holliday and the three Earp brothers faced off
against the Clantons and McLaurys in Tombstone, Arizona. Wyatt Earp was the
last man standing. And the lies began before the smoke cleared.

THE STRANGLER VINE
M. J. Carter
"Carter's clever historical thriller is a winner. The details of life in 1830s India
are enthralling, as is the history of the Thugs." — starred, Library Journal
India, 1937: William Avery is a young soldier rotting away in campaigns in India;
Jeremiah Blake is a secret political agent gone native, a genius at languages and
disguises who cannot resist an unresolved mystery. What starts as a wild goose
chase for this unlikely pair — trying to track down a missing writer — becomes
much more sinister as Blake and Avery get sucked into the mysterious Thuggee
cult and its even more ominous suppression.
