In a 33-year career with the New York City Fire Department, Tom Dunne fought hundreds of fires, survived near death incidents, crawled down burning hallways, met unforgettable characters, and witnessed the 9/11 terrorist attack. From working in glittering mid-Manhattan high-rises to squalid ghetto tenements, he saw how people in crisis lived and survived and how the firefighters who served them worked and bonded. Exploring both the positive and controversial aspects of being a firefighter, this no-holds barred memoir provides an honest account of an unusual occupation that outsiders seldom get to see. - Häftad, Engelska, 2026

Jim is a New York City firefighter wrestling with the challenges of urban living and the stresses of a dangerous occupation. But he is also battling demons within himself. Is something from the past actually lurking deep inside him or are the vague memories of indistinct people and intense flashbacks of unfamiliar objects mere illusions? Can he share such thoughts with Laura, the woman in his life, whose affluent background contrasts sharply with his working-class roots? In A Moment in Time, you will crawl down burning hallways and experience the hidden side of New York City. It explores the underbelly of urban existence and portrays an intimate view of the world of firefighting. But it also examines what it means to share and to love and addresses a broader existential question. Is it possible that our current lives are merely extensions of previous incarnations? - Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

"Smart, fast, fun, and wildly original! You won't put it down."-Kitty Kelley, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Jackie Oh! and Oprah: A Biography
From acclaimed publisher Thomas Dunne, Murders and Acquisitions is a gripping story of family, greed, rivalry, and revenge. Perfect for fans of Succession.
Randy Littlewood is taking full advantage of his position as the newly minted husband of Greta Meyer. After the death of her grandfather, Werther Maybach Meyer, Greta became the largest shareholder of the family business, Omnium International, a multi-million-dollar media conglomerate. But Randy has managed to take control of Greta's voting rights in the corporation, and now his ascent to the upper crust of Manhattan is hampered only by poor cousin Betty back at home.
Betty Maybach, Greta's cousin, fell on hard times after her father's death and eventually moved into her uncle Werther's Upper East Side mansion to become his personal secretary. Left adrift after her uncle's death, she has little to do but waste time in the house now also occupied by the newlywed Greta and Randy.
When Betty discovers Randy's machinations, including a plan to push her out of the house, she does some digging, using her extensive knowledge of the family business. What she discovers is more than she bargained for: not only has Randy sketched out a plan to oust her, but he has also undergone a vasectomy, denying her cousin Greta the right to carry on the Maybach family lineage.
As Betty digs deeper and plans her own escape from Randy's oppression, she learns more than she ever wanted about Werther Maybach Meyer and his business dealings. Soon, Betty is not only fighting for her freedom, but her life ...
