Greg Donahue’s The Minuteman, tells the story of one of Newark’s native sons; ex-prizefighter and longtime Zwillman enforcer Sidney Abramowitz, a.k.a. Nat Arno, who took over leadership of the Minutemen in 1934 and made it his personal business to put an end to what he saw as the Bund’s “anti-American” activities. For six years, Arno and his crew of vigilantes battled Newark’s Nazis at every turn. The Minuteman is a story of the ethics of violence in the face of fascism; a forgotten legacy that is as relevant now as it was nearly a hundred years ago.

In Wolves Eat Dogs, beloved detective Arkady Renko enters the privileged world of Russia's new billionaire class. The grandest of them all, a self-made powerhouse named Pasha Ivanov, has apparently leapt to his death from the palatial splendor of his ultra-modern Moscow condominium. While there are no signs pointing to homicide, there is one troubling and puzzling bit of evidence: in Ivanov's bedroom closet, there's a mountain of salt.

What an outstanding piece of work. He wraps the history of Chernobyl into a police procedural. Who knew of the pogrom in the '20's - the Jewish population wiped out?
Thanks for a great story and narration .

You Can't Pick Your Family

If you could sum up Nobody's Child in three words, what would they be?
Quite a thriller.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
The story time shifts between Georgia and Savannah. In a way you're following 2 stories resulting in 2 plot lines.
Which character – as performed by Beth Richmond – was your favorite?
Georgia would have to be my fav. She has her problems, screws up, rights herself and moves on. She is quite human in other words.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
When s#%t happens, who can you turn to for help?
Any additional comments?
Full disclosure: I know Ms. Hellmann, and had brunch with her twice in the past 2 years.
Although I'm not a follower of most series, including the Georgia Davis, I found NOBODY'S CHILD to be about as well done as her (Ms. Hellmann's) stand alone novels.
As a rule I have difficulty in suspending disbelief in stories where a single individual is able to outperform a police department with its access to modern technology.
However, Georgia is able to do so because she uses the tools available on the internet and has her friends both inside and out of various North Shore police departments.
Georgia screws up, becomes frustrated but always manages to, in the end make the game winning decision.
The story is a page turner.
