“Hey, Red!” It was the sort of casual greeting someone might toss out a car window at a red-haired woman.…
But Letty Garth had been wearing a black bell of a hat pulled down over her lovely bronze mane. And Letty Garth was not just another red-haired woman. That voice floating across a wintry New York night was only the beginning. Whoever it belonged to was trying to destroy Garth Goss and Bord, the hot young agency that turned heads all the way down Madison Avenue. It was a one-man Doom Campaign with GGB as a test market and Letty Garth as the target. What was worse, Letty Garth had a pretty good idea of who was behind it. But she hadn’t got to the top by telling all she knew, and she certainly wasn’t going to start now, even when mysterious pranks began costing the agency millions in lost billings. This was her problem and like every other problem in her glamorous life, Letty Garth would find a way to deal with it. She always had. So far. There are two more mysteries by Mary McMullen in Bookshare's library. Look for: A Grave Without Flowers and The Other Shoe.

IN PIONEER NEBRASKA, A WOMAN LEADS WHERE NO MAN WILL GO Soon to be a major motion picture directed by…
Tommy Lee Jones, The Homesman is a devastating story of early pioneers in 1850s American West. It celebrates the ones we hear nothing of: the brave women whose hearts and minds were broken by a life of bitter hardship. A "homesman" must be found to escort a handful of them back East to a sanitarium. When none of the county's men steps up, the job falls to Mary Bee Cuddy--ex-teacher, spinster, indomitable and resourceful. Brave as she is, Mary Bee knows she cannot succeed alone. The only companion she can find is the low-life claim jumper George Briggs. Thus begins a trek east, against the tide of colonization, against hardship, Indian attacks, ice storms, and loneliness--a timeless classic told in a series of tough, fast-paced adventures. In an unprecedented sweep, Glendon Swarthout's novel won both the Western Writers of America's Spur Award and the Western Heritage Wrangler Award. A new afterword by the author's son Miles Swarthout tells of his parents Glendon and Kathryn's discovery of and research into the lives of the oft-forgotten frontier women who make The Homesman as moving and believable as it is unforgettable.

'The characters talk straight from the hip and the Wyoming landscape is its own kind of eloquence' New York TimesCraig…
Johnson's first short story, 'Old Indian Trick', featured one of the earliest appearances of Sheriff Walt Longmire. Each Christmas Eve thereafter, Craig Johnson has sent out a new short story featuring an episode in Walt's life that doesn't appear in the novels. Here are those beloved stories - and one new story, 'Petunia, Bandit Queen of the Bighorns' - collected for the first time in a single volume. With glimpses of Walt's past from the incident in 'Ministerial Aide', when the sheriff is mistaken for a deity, to the hilarious 'Messenger', where the majority of the action takes place in a Port-A-Potty, Wait for Signs is a wonderful way to be introduced to the fictional world of Absaroka County, Wyoming.
