New Stuff
    New mystery/thriller available, not an Elderhostel®Mystery, but still a humorous, fast paced action/mystery thriller, with a touch of romance, that takes place rushing around Washington, DC, and hiding out from federal agencies aboard a houseboat on the Potomac River. May I recommend taking a look. Just click on the in-your-face book cover for IF THEY ASK FOR A HAND, ONLY GIVE THEM A FINGER
