But when Dawn realizes how much Hank misses her, and might even regret their breakup, the game is on. Dating in 1980s Manhattan is confusing enough. Then Mike Blitsky--a.k.a.

Peculiar Politics by Katia Spiegelman Pdf

"In this deliciously amusing, multi-barbed novel, condom-carrying New York City yuppies assess one another...with hilarious intensity. Hank Lowe, a rising star in his law firm, swings between love for and disgust with Christine Lustgarden, who has browbeaten him into marriage because she's pregnant. Hank's client Mike Blitsky (aka Mike Mauvais), a transvestite pimp who runs a 'call boy' services, is writing an autobiography that Hank's ex-fiancee Dawn (whom he still loves) is editing. Dawn enlists her friend Katherine--an English lit scholar whose entangled love life makes the N.Y.C. subway map look simple--to dig up information on Mike's dark, sordid childhood. The finale, a wedding ceremony, is laugh-aloud funny." --Publishers Weekly

House of a Thousand Eyes by Katia Lief Pdf

KILLING EVE meets THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD A Cold War spy’s deceits rise through time to haunt his American son, in a dual narrative split between postwar Berlin and early twentieth century New York City. Past becomes prologue as a father’s secret life and untimely death begin to make treacherous sense before delivering one final surprise. Skilled and capable, Con Mathis works for the New York District Attorney’s office. He’s movie-star handsome, charming, well educated, haunted by his expat German father’s suicide, and devoted to his mother Ruth and sister Sophie. Having completed an undercover assignment investigating the Wall Street money laundering operation of a Russian kingpin, he unwinds at a Manhattan bar, drinks too much and meets Emmy, a compelling German woman he thinks could be his soul mate. The next day, hungover and foggy, he realizes that he lost his keys and wallet at her place and needs to go back, but he can’t remember exactly where she lives. By the time he finds her, the woman he felt so drawn to turns out to be unstable, even dangerous. Far from a stranger, Emmy is a missive from his late father’s Cold War past. In meeting Emmy, Con’s search for meaning in his father’s long ago suicide collides with his hidden life as a Stasi agent in Cold War Berlin. As the discoveries become more troubling, Con launches an investigation that inadvertently puts his beloved American mother and sister at risk.

Invisible Woman by Katia Lief Pdf

Other people kill their husbands. Not her. “A darkly clever thriller about women’s thwarted ambitions, celebrity, the Time’s Up movement and revenge.”—People (Book of the Week) In Invisible Woman, a dangerous secret held for too long between estranged best friends rises to the surface, and a long marriage comes apart with devastating consequences. Joni Ackerman’s decision to raise children, 25 years ago, came with a steep cost. She was then a pioneering filmmaker, one of the few women to break into the all-male Hollywood club of feature film directors. But she and her husband Paul had always wanted a family, and his ascending career at a premier television network provided a safety net. Now they’ve recently transplanted to Brooklyn, so that Paul can launch a major East Coast production studio, when a scandal rocks the film industry and forces Joni to revisit a secret from long ago involving her friend Val. Joni is adamant that the time has come to tell the story, but Val and Paul are reluctant, for different reasons. As the marriage frays and the friends spar about whether to speak up, Joni’s struggles with isolation in a new city, and old resentments about the sacrifices she made on her family’s behalf start to boil over. She takes solace, of sorts, in the novels of Patricia Highsmith—particularly the masterpiece Strangers on a Train, with its duplicitous characters and their murderous impulses—until the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred. Invisible Woman is at once a literary thriller about the lies we tell each other (and ourselves), and a powerful psychological examination of the complexities of friendship, marriage, and motherhood.
