What Doug finds in the secret compartment of his new red Corvette will forever change both his and Catherine’s life. Doug and Catherine come from two different worlds. Catherine’s world is one of privilege and wealth. Doug grew up dirt poor and full of envy of others who had the things that he wanted but could not have. His goal was to one day have all the things he coveted. Their worlds collide when Catherine, VP of a large New York City marketing firm, hires Doug. As soon as Doug learns of Catherine’s wealth, he sees Catherine as his ticket to all the things he covets. After a whirlwind courtship, they are married.

For Doug, it is his mysterious discovery in the secret compartment of the Corvette. For Catherine, it is a business meeting with Alex Droxell at the Osprey Cove Lodge. When Catherine enters the beautiful and serene lodge, it’s as though she is entering another place and time. The lodge is an escape from the nightmare she is living back home.

GRAND FINALE by Christopher Baldi

About GRAND FINALE by Christopher Baldi

Back in the day, SAL PEPITONE had some dangerous connections in the New Jersey underworld. Now, Sal is 76 years old with eight strokes under his belt. His one big regret is how he left things back in 1979. That was the summer that Sal was sent to the wealthy island town of Port Hannasquat with a sinister agenda. EVELYN PARKS is respected, successful, happily unmarried and still gorgeous. But she always had a wild side, along with an extraordinary gift, one that tells her things she couldn’t possibly know. MICHAEL is Sal’s grandson. He’s not exactly the law-breaking type. But Sal has only four days left to live, a loaded .38, and a hidden fortune courtesy of the late Frank Sinatra. RICKY is Michael’s best friend. She’s heard nothing but trouble about Sal. But she’s always down for an adventure, and she’s a sucker for epic, scandalous, starry-eyed romance.

So Michael and Ricky team up to give Sal a midnight lift to Port Hannasquat, with no idea of the trouble that lies ahead. And considering Sal is technically an escaped con, this little road trip could get awfully bumpy…

The Golden Manuscripts: A Novel by Evy Journey

The Golden Manuscripts: A Novel by Evy Journey

“for fans of immersive literary fiction with plenty of deep character-based drama. — Reviewed by KC Finn ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Discounted to $0.99 in July, 2023.

Clarissa, an Asian/Caucasian young woman has lived in seven different countries and has no lasting connection to any place. She thinks it’s time to settle somewhere she could eventually call home. But where?
She decides to live in the city of her birth. There, she joins a quest for the provenance of stolen illuminated manuscripts—a medieval art form that languished with the fifteenth-century invention of the printing press—hoping it would give her the sense of belonging she craves. But will it be enough?
For her, these ancient manuscripts elicit cherished memories of children’s picture books her mother read to her, nourishing a passion for art.
The trail of the manuscripts leads to an American soldier who served in World War II. Clarissa is anxious to know what motivated him to steal and keep the artwork for fifty years. But instead of easy answers, she finds bigger questions.
Immersed in art, but naïve about life, she’s disheartened and disillusioned by the machinations the quest reveals of an esoteric, sometimes unscrupulous art world. What compels individuals to steal artworks, and conquerors to plunder them from the vanquished? Who decides the value of an art piece and how?
The Golden Manuscripts: A Novel is based on the actual theft of medieval manuscript illuminations during the second world war.
