1944. Nazi Germany. The war is in its final, desperate hours. Three high-ranking Nazi officers, using secret orders from the desk of Herman Goering, plan to purloin a fortune in confiscated diamonds. Sixty years later, Moe Green, a retired octogenarian seeks to determine the value of a German postage stamp, given to him in the war, by a grateful young Holocaust survivor. But when the stamp’s existence appears on the Internet, killings begin. The Hitler Error is a fast-paced yarn, filled with twists and turns. The action moves rapidly from New York, Florida, London, Israel and France, as Jake Green, the old man’s son, is sucked into an international scheme to locate the diamonds, involving an elusive and ruthless assassin, an ex-Nazi general whose real identity has long ago been erased, and a beautiful Israeli spy. The vivid characters and stomach-churning plot will keep you awake, and just when you think the mystery’s been solved, you’ll be off on another path of intrigue.

A Guide For Growing Old With Style Got a computer Can't use it yet, but it looks Good on the table Occasionally a rare book comes along that approaches the matter of aging with sympathy, understanding, and sobriety. This book is not one of them. On the contrary, Pimp My Walker: The Official Book of Old Age Haiku by Mike Slosberg accepts aging with the solemnity of slipping on a banana peel. As the subtitle indicates, the author has taken the age-old art form of haiku and turned it into an art form for old age - or at least aging. Each of the 73 poems is a gem of wit, wisdom, and cantankerousness. Witness his take on life's little pleasures: I can remember When sex was better than food Now vice is versa Mike maintains that old age really sucks, and one has to be philosophical and poetic to survive. Humor is the only defense - with the exception, perhaps, of copious amounts of surgery. Humor is the alchemy that can magically turn tragedy into comedy. Pimp My Walker is a celebration of the cardinal aspects of growing old, softened only with Mike's hilariously appropriate illustrations. Think of it as an owner's manual for aging with humor, whether you are this or that side of 40 or are simply slipping to the far side of 80. It will keep you youthful. It is good for the digestion and low in cholesterol. Mike Slosberg is a self-described OLD novelist, playwright, and cartoonist. His previous books include the novels The August Strangers and The Hitler Error. Mike writes haiku instead of doing crosswords, putting boats in bottles, and lamenting his age.
