Shining a light on who pirates really were, and how the well-known 'skull and crossbones' Hollywood stereotype evolved

In January 2017, Chimene Suleyman was on her way to an abortion clinic in Queens, New York with her boyfriend, the father of her nascent child. It was the last day they would spend together. In an extraordinary sequence of events, Chimene was to discover the truth of her boyfriend's life: that she and many other women had been subtly, patiently and painfully betrayed.In this spellbinding memoir, she exposes one man's control over many women and the trauma he left behind, and celebrates the sisterhood that formed in his wake despite - and in spite of - him. Exploring how women are duped every day by individuals, she interrogates how society itself continually allows this to happen. She demonstrates that, no matter how intelligent, educated or self-aware they might be, over time a woman can be played into performing the age-old role of giver and nurturer: self-sacrificing and subordinate. Both a devastating personal testimony and a searing indictment of persistent misogyny, The Chain is a book for any woman who has questioned her relationship and buried her doubts, for any woman who can't quite identify the source of her unease and for any woman who has been sheltered by the fierce protection of her female friends.

From #1 bestselling author, J.R. Rain comes the heart-pounding, heart-breaking thrill ride of the year. Five years ago, Lee Jordan was nearly killed on the job. Now deaf, blind, and mute, he's recovered enough to live a routine but silent life. However, now, the LAPD needs him back... When the cases of many missing persons are tied together with the same M.O., Lee Jordan is called in to help locate people who seemingly walked away from their everyday lives. But did they? Lee's only assets are his guide dog, fourteen years of experience as a homicide detective-and an intriguing American Sign Language translator named Rachel. Just as Lee begins to discover something remarkable about himself, he must engage in a battle of wits with a murderer he can't see or hear. With no weapons but his own mind-and a guide dog with a heart of gold-he sets off alone in Los Angeles to investigate the disappearances. It's only a matter of time before more people may die under nefarious circumstances. And the manner of death could put the entire city at risk from...something even more dangerous. Lee Jordan knows there is more to fighting crime than meets the eye, or ear, or voice. But will he survive his courageous solo pursuit of a twisted killer on the mean streets of L.A.? And can he really stop a madman by himself? Winter Wind is a standalone crime thriller by bestselling author J.R. Rain, whose repertoire includes novels and stories in many genres. Winter Wind continues to establish Rain's standard for unique mysteries and thrillers, richly-layered characters, exciting plots, big questions and even bigger answers-answers that keep readers thinking long after the final page. ★★★★★ "Wow! I am absolutely blown away! This book is an emotional hard hitter. Rain really doesn't pull any punches, he puts you right in there in the middle of it with Lee. Which is an amazing roller coaster ride. You would think that a blind, deaf, and mute main character would scream 'boring', but it's anything but! The searing emotional loss, the gingerly putting himself back together again, the relentless search for meaning, his absolute devotion to his guide dog Betsie." ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ "This form of storytelling is very intimate. It feels like the protagonist is speaking directly to you. Sharing their most private thoughts. Lee's story is beautiful. I thought it would be an awkward read given his condition. Not at all. He is coming out of his cocoon in this story. I hope he speaks to J.R. again so we can revisit him." ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ "What an amazing storyline! Completely blew me away. I was pulled in from the beginning and couldn't put this book down. The storyline was well written and well thought out. It was full of mystery, hope and humor. Lee had such a humorous outlook. I loved his sarcasm. His journey was quite astounding. I laughed, teared up and laughed again." ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ "I'm not one to usually leave a review for a book, but WOW this one was great. Loved the whole premise and you really got to know the main character." ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ "A supernatural story that was a treat for all my emotions. I found this book to be more emotional than I had anticipated. The mystery was almost secondary. It is an achingly moving story of a severely disabled ex cop, hurt on the job, his beloved canine companion, the earthly people in his life and the other worldly angels who make his life worth living. That he solves a disturbingly sick crime is a testament to the angels around him. I carried my Kindle into a public place but had to put it away as my tears flowed freely as I turned the pages. Unlike anything I have ever read and I have been around for a long time. Be prepared, be open and enjoy! ―Amazon reviewer

Welcome back, former federal agent Alexis Parker. Alex always said it'd be a cold day in hell before she'd step foot inside the OIO again, and the blizzard conditions outside prove her declaration true. But clipping on the badge doesn't mean taking a seat behind a desk or investigating a crime scene. It means infiltrating a local drug ring led by the city's most ruthless gang, the KXDs. Alex's main goal is to determine the international source of the drugs, but as usual, nothing can ever be that simple. While working undercover as a junkie stripper, Alex has to defend herself against gangbangers and perverts while convincing Steele, a KXD lieutenant, that she's just a girl willing to do anything to feed her addiction. Steele's demands start out simple, requiring Alex to use her position at the club to pass along product, but soon he wants her to branch out. The situation goes from bad to worse when she hears whispers that a gang war is brewing, and getting in deep enough to uncover the evidence might mean not being able to get out alive.

Former Detective Tom Newberry was finding retirement a difficult adjustment. His old NYPD partner Barry Noonan scoffed when Newberry told him he was getting closer to identifying the madman who had gunned down six unsuspecting women on the streets of Northern Queens.

We're not the city's watchdogs anymore."Newberry soon clashed with Sergeant Ray Wheeler, the man Chief of Detectives Frank Armstrong appointed to spearhead the special task force he set up to catch the killer. Wheeler called Newberry a nuisance and threatened to arrest the former sleuth for interfering with an official police investigation. But, in time, Wheeler realized Newberry was onto something...
