at the Charles Schwab Challenge. 12 hour days! I do this every year and it is so very much fun!
It is a nice little chunk of change right at a good time, too.
So now I am reading two books, in two different Kindles.
Garden of Beasts: A Novel of Berlin 1936 by Jeffrey Deaver
In the most ingenious and provocative thriller yet from acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Jeffery Deaver, a conscience-plagued mobster turned government hitman struggles to find his moral compass amid rampant treachery and betrayal in 1936 Berlin.
Paul Schumann, a German American living in New York City in 1936, is a mobster hitman known as much for his brilliant tactics as for taking only “righteous” assignments. But then Paul gets caught. And the arresting officer offers him a stark choice: execution or covert government service. Paul is asked to pose as a journalist covering the summer Olympics taking place in Berlin. He’s to hunt down and kill Reinhard Ernst—the ruthless architect of Hitler’s clandestine rearmament. If successful, Paul will be pardoned and given the financial means to go legit.
I am enjoying this book and can't figure out why I have not read it since it has been in my Kindle for a very long time.
A Measure of Rhyme: Ages of Malice, Book II by Lloyd Jeffries.
I just realized I have the first book, so I am going to have to stop this one and start the first one. I am so OCDC about reading books in order Fortunately I am only 60 pages in. However it is starting off with a bang so I know I will read it and the other two.
The Jacket blurbs for Book 1 A Portion of Malice An Ancient Evil Rises. Can One Man Stop It?
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Emery Merrick holds a pistol to his temple. Then, a knock at the door changes everything. Billionaire Thaddeus Drake offers him a job: write his biography. But Drake hides a chilling secret—he’s Cain, the immortal biblical killer, leading a secret society bent on sacrificing the Earth to a bloodthirsty God.
Plunged into a world of darkness, deceit, and explosive action, Emery must unravel ancient prophecies and confront unimaginable evil. Horror meets high-stakes adventure in this provocative thrill ride—a battle of good versus evil that questions spirituality, redemption, and the cost of every choice.
I think I will put this aside and wait a bit.
