Books with title The Road to Jericho

Ronny Gentry, no stranger to trouble, is in trouble for real this time. After finding himself in the clutches of "Bank-Nappers", he's in danger of not only losing his life, but also his way, on the Road to Jericho. Aided by his trusty "best dog", Lionel, Ronny is brought into a web of menace and corruption that hadn't ever been seen, this side of the Mississippi. The Road to Jericho is about his travels to Jericho, AR, a hubbub of wanton and reckless living, in the summer of 1949. It's a book about charity, and gratitude, and greed, and the choices that lead us there.

Jericho Road is the story of 17-year-old Austin Pierce, his girlfriend, Veronica, and his best friend, Rico. The teens were recruited by their handler, a CIA agent named Konstantine, to infiltrate a murderous Mexican street gang. As a result, Rico is missing and presumed dead. Austin knows in his heart that his friend is still alive, and he's willing to do anything to find him. That's where our story begins. Doing "anything" proves quite the challenge for Austin since he's a born rule follower. If that weren't enough of a test of character, the rules get muddied when Austin can't be sure who is on his side, doubts that extend even to Veronica. The story is set in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Washington's suburbs. As the teens get chased from city to city, they have to decide in whom to place their trust. Sometimes the consequences are disastrous.

Very slowly their lips approached each other, and like a flower coming slowly into bloom in the summer night, their kiss was given deeply each to each. Then, arms around each other, they walked down the path to the sea. They found their favourite comfortable rock, and settled into a hollow of it, too much in accord to need speech. The silver radiance stretched before them with a sense of infinite rest. Night laid her brooding wings of tenderness over the tired earth, and all the cares of day, all temporary concerns, seemed to slip along the glimmering ripples, and vanish over the far horizon, into some other world. The splendour of the mystical hour tranquillized their souls to an intimacy deeper than passion. They leaned softly together, full, to the hearts' brim, of passive joy. Some distant clock impressively struck two. "The perfect number," said Delayne gathering her a little closer. "It is so seldom anything really is perfect," Sheelah answered dreamily, "but this hour is. We must always remember that we were perfectly happy in it." "Perfectly happy--" he lingered over the syllables. "But don't you have a great feeling of its transiency?--as if it were a sort of mirage of the desert--and if you stretch toward it, it will vanish, and you'll wake with the old consuming thirst?" "What is that thirst, Brian?" "I think it's nothing less than the attainment of everything," he answered after a moment. "Success, after effort, fame, after failure, work, achievement, love, home; all, all, all the good things of life. We can't be content with any part of it."
