NORTH AMERICAN WOLVES
Parker, Barbara Keevil
2000 176272 From School Library Journal Gr 2-5-Beginning with an exciting account of a wolf pack hunting a moose, this title examines the physical characteristics, behavior, and lifestyle of North America's two species of wolves, the gray wolf and the red wolf. Readable and informative descriptions of the interaction between these animals and their environment are included among facts about family life, hunting, and communication. The respectful text conveys the author's belief in the need for the conservation of the species, while the many full-color, clear photographs make the book ideal for both reports and recreational reading. More thorough than other books on the subject for this age range, it will make an excellent addition to any collection.-Michele Snyder, Chappaqua Public Library, NY Scholastic 0-439-16829-5 / 9780439168298

SUSPICION OF MADNESS - a Novel
Parker, Barbara
2003 7308 Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana's getaway to an isolated villa in the Florida Keys sounds romantic, but their perfect vacation fizzles the moment that attorney Anthony encounters a menacing former client. Suddenly, their secluded island becomes their vulnerable fortress. A fast-paced thriller with a nearly dizzying array of quick plot turns. FROM THE PUBLISHER: For attorneys Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana, spending a couple of days in a private villa on a secluded island in the Florida Keys seems almost too good to be true. The innocent cliche hits home with a vengeance when a dangerously unbalanced former client of Anthony's is suspected of a local murder, and then attempts suicide. As an idyllic vacation turns into an escalating nightmare of terror and death, Gail and Anthony find themselves isolated among strange and secretive islanders as a late tropical storm threatens to unleash its fury on them all. Somehow, they must hang on to their sanity and use every weapon at their disposal to outwit a cunning criminal bent on plunging them into a world of deepening madness. FROM THE CRITICS Romantic Times Suspicion of Madness is riveting, which makes trying to put the pieces together all the more fun. Top-notch suspense! Publishers Weekly Miami lawyers Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana head to Key West for a combined romantic vacation and murder investigation in the seventh of Parker's Suspicion series (Suspicion of Vengeance, etc.). As in previous installments, the pressures of the chase test the relationship of the high-powered couple, and Florida's lush landscape adds color to a mystery that makes up in intensity what it lacks in depth. It all begins when wealthy client Martin Greenwald invites Quintana to his resort in the Florida Keys to help his troubled stepson, Billy, who is under suspicion for murder. Certain Billy is innocent, Quintana convinces Connor to join him to share the delights of the island. But they find little time for amusement because as soon as they arrive, they learn Billy has attempted suicide. In quick order, lies and bodies are uncovered, and Connor and Quintana find themselves investigating an aging B-movie starlet, a pair of conniving local lawyers, the client's overextended family and a stuttering handyman who does odd jobs, showing up in the oddest places at the oddest times. The intertwining lives of the characters reflect the Florida culture around them-rich in dreaming, scheming and explosive undercurrents. The surprise ending is no surprise for Hitchcock fans, but former state prosecutor and practicing attorney Parker paces her story well and neatly ties up loose ends. She also heats up the legal intrigue with the fiery romance between Latin lover Quintana and single mom Connor, ensuring that fans-even those who have seen the same movies Parker has-will stay tuned for the next escapade of Miami's tempestuous legal sweethearts. (Feb. 24) Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information. Library Journal Billy McFadden's murder defense brings legal duo Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana to Key West, FL, in Parker's seventh "Suspicion of" legal thriller. Billy's alibi that he spent the evening watching old movies with Joan Sinclair, the has-been star of Bride of Nesferatu, is shaky. Gail and Anthony are guests of Billy's stepfather, Walter Greenwald, at his Buttonwood Resort, operated by Walter's sister Lois. The cast of suspects grows and the pressure increases with a tropical storm as Gail escapes from gory escapades. William Dufris and Christine Marshall provide multiple, characteristic voices, improving on programs delivered by lone readers. Highly recommended for all general collections. In this latest in the Suspicion of . . . series, Parker (Suspicion of Madness, 2003, etc.) sends her protagonists to Cuba on a case that never quite kicks into gear. Headed to his native Havana for a reunion with his sister, Miami lawyer Anthony Quintana gets.. Published at twenty five dollars. Penguin Group (USA) 0525946810 / 9780525946816
