Blood on the Orchid : Ray H. Harrison
Blood on the Orchid
When a fifty-thousand-dollar orchid disappears, it sets in motion events that take four lives, destroy a political career and yet, re-unite a family. Nothing attracts the ire of Wolfgang Fenstemier more quickly than dashing the dreams of a young damsel—especially when she happens to be an orphan.
Thus, a good friend and soft heart send Wolfgang in search of a rare black orchid, and he soon finds himself involved with his first murder case in Blood on the Orchid. His search for the rare orchid leads Wolfgang, courtroom sketch artist turned part-time investigator, and his lawyer friend, Davie Trammell, through the seamy side of Georgia politics to dark, dank mine shafts in north Georgia. They learn the hard way, what pure evil the desire for political power can exert.

The Legend of Sasquatch : William T. Prince
The Legend of Sasquatch
In this action-packed character novel, Sasquatch is not the mythical creature rumored to haunt the forests of North America. He is a young Texan named Clint Buchanan (pronounced “Buck Hannon”) who prowls the streets of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in the late-1970s.
Clint seems to have it all–herculean size and strength, polymathic intelligence, shy yet magnetic personality, manly good looks, and the charm to seduce any woman he wants. Still in his teens but already the size of Jimmy Dean’s “Big Bad John,” the similarities do not end there. Trouble seems to follow Clint, and a combination of bad choices, bad timing, and bad luck has tragic results.
One reviewer has said that “the Legend of Sasquatch is a great study of the human psyche and all its complexities–morality, justice, passion, friendship, violence, and love.”
Another said that “Prince takes the reader on a surprisingly engrossing journey through the depths of the human psyche. . . . [He] paints a vivid picture of the complex task of simply finding one’s own place in the world, regardless of our mental, physical, or emotional status, and as a result, his well-crafted tale is one to which readers of all ages and backgrounds are sure to relate.”
Find out for yourself. Join this behemoth as he faces the life-changing and character-defining events of his late adolescence with a colorful supporting cast that includes his girlfriend Dani and devoted buddies Milton, Tom, and Hulk.
