As candles flickered, she pulled out a small stool then sat, resting her palms gently on the surface of the smooth wood. Then, again reaching into her robe pocket, she pulled out a small, sepia-colored photograph, resting it against a plain, black urn.With candle flames mirrored in her eyes, Amelia lit the cigar with one of the candles, blowing its thick, acrid smoke at the photo-and, it was then she spoke, her words unintelligible. Chanting her desires, she gently picked up the photograph, raising it to her God.And, there she stayed until it was done . . . Once again, author Faith Wood transports her readers into a world of intrigue and the unexpected. When The Social Hour's Decklin Kilgarry pulls up stakes to embark on a new life in Miami, he never considered changes to his heart. His soul.

Forming an unanticipated allegiance, mysteries unlock one-by-one, revealing an insidious truth. One, when illuminated, reveals a malevolent, treasonous intent-and, murder.

The Railroad Photography of Donald W. Furler showcases the black-and-white imagery of a master of the craft. Furler (1917-1994) grew up in New Jersey and helped pioneer the "action shot" to show trains at speed. He faithfully and dramatically documented the final decade of steam operations in the northeastern United States with technically-superior and often creative images portraying the trains in their environments. While his work appeared frequently in early issues of Trains magazine in the 1940s and 1950s, it has rarely been seen since. As someone who helped write the rules for railroad action photography, an examination of Furler's photography is long overdue.

In Railroads and the Art of Place: An Anthology, a team of thirty contemporary and historical photographers--whose work is displayed across eighteen portfolios--visually contemplate the visible and philosophical imprint of the railroad on the American landscape. Combined with lucid, literary essays by Kevin P. Keefe, former editor of Trains magazine, noted transportation historian Alexander B. Craghead, industrial historian Matt Kierstead, and the late Michael Flanagan (author of Stations: An Imaginary Journey) the book, conceived by David Kahler, is sure to set a new benchmark in the field of railroad photography and transportation studies. Produced to the highest standards and featuring 230 color and black-and-white photographs, this deluxe 372-page book printed on heavy stock portrays a storied industrial culture in an entirely new context. Produced by the Center for Railroad Photography & Art and generously funded by the Kahler Family Charitable Fund.
