Discovering Wounded Justice: Cruel Menace
by Belinda D'Alessandro
Alyssa Giordano, a first generation American, never thought being a woman in this day and age would be a disadvantage until she met her first boss. The young lawyer couldn’t believe that Duncan Kennedy would accuse her of a double cross and sack her after she’d rebuffed his advances and Alyssa, pride wounded, loses faith in the one thing she’d grown up believing in: justice. Giordano finally hits the big time and finds that roles are reversed. Kennedy is labeled a swindler and a leading journalist, a woman no less, holds his fate in her hands. But he vanishes in a cloud of lies and creditors and, on his death, Giordano is rid of him... Until he walks back into her life and tries to take it...

Voices Under Berlin: The Tale of a Monterey Mary
by T.H.E. Hill
Voices Under Berlin: The Tale of a Monterey Mary is set against the backdrop of the Berlin Spy Tunnel. The yarn is told from both ends of the tunnel. One end is the story of the Americans who worked the tunnel, and how they fought for a sense of purpose against boredom and the enemy both within and without. This side of the story is told with a pace and a black humor reminiscent of that used by Joseph Heller (Catch-22) and Richard Hooker (M*A*S*H*). The other end of the tunnel is the story of the Russians whose telephone calls the Americans are intercepting. They are the voices under Berlin.
About the author: T.H.E. Hill served at Field Station Berlin in the mid-1970s, after at tour at Herzo Base in the early 1970s. He is a three-time graduate of The Defense Language Institute (DLIWC) in Monterey, California, the alumni of which are called "Monterey Marys".
