The local author who's rocketed a Catholic priest through interstellar space and chronicled Italian resistance to the persecution of Jews in World War II has returned with a new tale from the old West. Russell's novel Doc is a new look at the life and times of sagebrush icon Doc Holliday, a real-life character far more complex than the one at the center of so many Hollywood movies. John Henry Holliday was a dentist forced from his native Georgia by tuberculosis. He relocated to the West hoping to improve his health. In Dodge City, Kansas, he met up with Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson and made his name as a dentist, his fortune as a skilled gambler. Much of the story is fiction, but it's woven with historical facts that result in a lively read and a lively interview with Mr. Feagler.
Les Roberts, Author, The Cleveland Creep
He's back with the 15th installment in the saga of Cleveland private eye Milan Jacovich. This time the ex-college football star cum ex-cop is in search of a missing person with a shady past, a mystery that soon turns to murder which, as usual, puts Jacovich at odds with the police and with his sometime-friends in organized crime. The story plays out in Roberts's familiar page-turning style. Good news for Roberts fans - he's already at work on his next detective story.
