Books with author Leigh Anderson

A New York Times Notable Book of the year. Acclaimed around the world and a national best-seller, this is the definitive work on Che Guevara, the dashing rebel whose epic dream was to end poverty and injustice in Latin America and the developing world through armed revolution. Jon Lee Anderson’s biography traces Che’s extraordinary life, from his comfortable Argentine upbringing to the battlefields of the Cuban revolution, from the halls of power in Castro’s government to his failed campaign in the Congo and assassination in the Bolivian jungle. Anderson has had unprecedented access to the personal archives maintained by Guevara’s widow and carefully guarded Cuban government documents. He has conducted extensive interviews with Che’s comrades—some of whom speak here for the first time—and with the CIA men and Bolivian officers who hunted him down. Anderson broke the story of where Guevara’s body was buried, which led to the exhumation and state burial of the bones. Many of the details of Che’s life have long been cloaked in secrecy and intrigue. Meticulously researched and full of exclusive information, Che Guevara illuminates as never before this mythic figure who embodied the high-water mark of revolutionary communism as a force in history.

A dashing private detective enters the glamorous and grimy world of the Cannes Film Festival to find a missing starlet in this “fast and clever” mystery (Library Journal). Enigmatic Englishman Patrick de Courvoisier has left his troubled past behind for a life of leisure on a houseboat in the Old Port of Cannes. But for a man known as Le Limier, or The Fixer, leisure is only amusing for so long. Luckily, trouble has a way of finding him—even in the South of France. As the Cannes Film Festival gets into full swing, the resort town is overrun with Hollywood types and everyone is abuzz about actress Angele Valette’s new movie The Black Pearl—funded by Russian oligarch Vasily Chapayev, owner of the famous pearl for which it’s named. But when Angele disappears, having last been seen at the film’s launch party on Vasily’s yacht, Le Limier is called upon to find her. As Patrick questions all those involved with the movie, he discovers the dirty truth behind the silver screen. And when he finds a dead body on his boat, Patrick must solve the case—and clear his name—before he’s given a lifetime of leisure behind bars. “Courvoisier is a dashing, sophisticated hero, and with an action-packed plot, filled with violence and shocking twists, this page-turner will more than satisfy fans of jet-setting suspense.” —Booklist

Take a moon’s passing to get yeer nose clear. Dumb things, eat bongly moss. Makes their dung stink so high the clouds cry. Protects ‘em though. Nothin’ goes near.”Zac saw several more piles as they walked. “So not something to spread on your morning toast.” Everyone chuckled, especially Garlock. Then, he was suddenly silenced.Without warning a giant brown lizard flashed from the left and plunged its mouth over Garlock’s head. It jerked him off the road and into the forest. It had come on its hind legs, but now ran on all fours. Garlock, with head and shoulders smothered inside the beast’s huge mouth, flailed about furiously. His arms and legs stuck out like a bug being eaten by a lizard. As quick as it had come it vanished into the forest of green.Nusa sprang. As the lizard scurried over the moss, she leapt high, claws extended. With a chilling growl she landed on the slimy beast. It could not run under her weight and thrashed about, jerking Garlock side-to-side. At first, no one moved. Then Eryn dashed off into the spongy moss. Like a football player running through tires, she lifted her legs high, fighting to run. The teens stood frozen, peering through the trees, watching the battle. The giant salamander, its skin brown and smooth, covered in a film of slime to which moss and twigs stuck, lashed about as Nusa, riding its back, kept trying to bite into the neck but would shake her jowls and snarl. She kept the beast from running, but not from smothering Garlock, his head still inside the monster’s mouth. He kept reaching for his knife but the creature’s writhing tossed him like a dog with a rag doll. Eryn ran with sword drawn. Nusa finally sunk fangs deep into the neck. The slimy beast opened its mouth and shrieked a piercing scream. With a cough, it spit Garlock out onto the moss. He jumped to his feet gasping for air. He shook his head. Foamy slime flung out in all directions. Eryn finally arrived but did not know where to strike. Nusa held her bite. Garlock drew his sword from over his shoulder. Holding it high with point down, he thrust it into the monster’s head. The point sunk, going through into the spongy ground. The beast shrieked and squealed like a tortured pig. It jerked about with Nusa riding rodeo, claws and jaw set deep. Garlock put one knee over its mouth and gave his sword a violent twist. The tail thrashed about then twitched and quivered to a stop. Eryn stood, still holding her sword high, eyes wide.
