Say No More:

Ryan has also won multiple awards for her bestselling crime fiction, including five Agatha Awards, and the Anthony, Daphne, Macavity, and Mary Higgins Clark Awards.
Say No More
When Boston reporter Jane Ryland reports a hit and run, she  soon learns she saw more than a car crash--she witnessed the collapse of an alibi, and now she's under pressure to tell all to the police. She's also digging up the inside scoop for an expose of sexual assaults on Boston's college campuses for the station's new documentary unit, and is working with a victim to reveal her heartbreaking experience on camera. But, an anonymous message--SAY NO MORE--has Jane really and truly scared.

Say No More
By Hank Phillippi Ryan
Reviewed By Stephanie Saxon Levine
Jane Ryland, Boston television reporter, witnesses a hit-and-run car crash which ruins an alibi. She
has been working on an expose of sexual assaults on college campuses and has just convinced a date rape victim to give an interview on camera. Then, an anonymous warning, "Say no more," has her deeply concerned.
Meanwhile, Jake Brogan hunts the murderer of a Hollywood screenwriter, drowned in her pool in The Reserve, a secretive Boston community.
A young woman must decide whether to go public about her assault. Jane and Jake, newly engaged and beginning to go public about their relationship, both seek solutions to crimes as they face their fears about the dangers of speaking the truth.
This is a wonderfully suspenseful read. Hank Phillippi Ryan's characters bravely confront their challenges while taking the reader along with them. Her years as an investigative reporter have given the author a unique insight into her protagonist's world. Her considerable talent absorbs this reader into the story, indeed has carried me through the five books in this series, each of which can stand alone. I will be eager to read the next one.
Enthusiastically recommended. FOR 1st printing, signed: 25.99
The One Man
By Andrew Gross
Reviewed by Cheryl Kravetz
Renowned physicist Alfred Mendl and his family use forged documents to flee war-torn Paris, but  are caught by the Nazis and sent by train to a concentration camp. They are separated when they arrive at the camp. The guards are unaware that Mendl holds knowledge that only two people in the world possess.
Intelligence Lieutenant Nathan Blum escaped the Krakow ghetto as a teenager after the Nazis murdered his family and fled to America where he decodes messages from Occupied Poland. He is asked by "Wild" Bill Donovan, head of the OSS to sneak into the most guarded place on earth to find and escape with Alfred Mendl, the one man the Allies believe can ensure them victory in the war.
Andrew Gross has found his calling in his new book, The One Man. I have been a fan of Andrew Gross and his books since he began his writing career and I believe The One Man is outstanding. It surpasses even some of the top writers of our time.
The One Man
captures the lingering horrors of World War II and its long-lasting residual effects on not only the victims of Nazi soldiers, but their families as well. It focuses mostly on people, rather than the crimes committed by the Nazis. But it also shows how the Nazis exterminated some of the greatest minds the world will ever see.
Andrew Gross did extensive research for this project, interviewing numerous survivors, studying documents, books, journals. Among the interviews he conducted was that of his 95-year-old father-in-law who escaped Warsaw just months before the war. He was the only one in his family to survive. Sadly, his father-in-law passed away before he could see the book published. It will forever stand as his legacy.
The book is written with compassion and sheds light on little known aspects of the war. Don't miss this as it reveals Andrew Gross's wonderful talent.

The Penny Jumper
By James Grippando
Reviewed by Sue Wilder
Ainsley Grace, astrophysicist, is hired by a stock-trading firm to write a program that will result in
tens of millions of dollars of profits. Ainsley, working at MIT on a giant telescope program, takes on the project for a payday that will help her pay back her student loans and other debts accumulated during her mother's terminal illness.
Ainsley writes a program that creates an algorithm to supersede the penny jumpers. High frequency traders buy and sell stocks according to computer programs that generate big volume, thus generating profits one penny at a time. Unfortunately, she is framed by the very people she is working for, and is picked up by the FBI. She must figure out who sold her out or lose her career and go to prison.
Mr. Grippando clearly explains penny jumpers and high-frequency trading on Wall Street. As always, his research is impeccable. By utilizing the novella format, he builds suspense with a just enough detail about Ainsley and her backstory. Authentic New York and Boston locations combined with a fast moving story produces a good read.
