"A wildly kaleidoscopic look at the scandals and political life of Washington D.C."

-Los Angeles Times on Death of a Washington Madame

"Both the public and the private story in Adler's second book about intrepid sergeant Fitzgerald make good reading, capturing the political scene and the passionate duplicity of those who would wield power."

-Publishers Weekly on Immaculate Deception

To my three sons,

David, Jonathan and Michael

    The Storyteller

    Anna and Abel couldn't be more different. They are both seventeen and in their last year of school, but while Anna lives in a nice old town house and comes from a well-to-do family, Abel, the school drug dealer, lives in a big, prisonlike tower block at the edge of town. Anna is afraid of him until she realizes that he is caring for his six-year-old sister on his own. Fascinated, Anna follows the two and listens as Abel tells little Micha the story of a tiny queen assailed by dark forces. It's a beautiful fairy tale that Anna comes to see has a basis in reality. Abel is in real danger of losing Micha to their abusive father and to his own inability to make ends meet.

    新兴女性:女性未来人格与修养的10大全新展现

    女性是强者,当然主要是指那些非凡女性。就世界以及我国整个女性而言,相对于男性,女性整体实力还依然不够强大,仍然是比较脆弱的,还不能真正成为“半边天”。特别是随着社会竞争更加激烈,有人认为女性应该回归家庭,成为全职太太、家庭主妇,这就有可能使女性再次坠入为男性和社会的附属品。事实上也有一些女性自认为是弱者,自甘掉队,滑入到温暖的小屋和被窝,充当花瓶和豆芽,这就严重影响到女性的团队精神,非常不利于女性的生存和发展,是与时代发展背道而弛的。成功的女性身上自有许多美好的精神和思想,完全可以借鉴和发扬,脆弱的女性身上自有许多糟粕和枷锁,完全可以克服和打破。
