Mystery lovers will understand this statement: "Just read a really good book--found it got better and better with each chapter! Then, when I finished the book I read the cover blurb and found out it's the first in a new series!" Author Matt Coyle introduces us to ex-cop  and restaurant manager Rick who has such a history you know when you finish Yesterday's Echo that you want to know more and more about this complicated character.

If you love character-driven stories, you are in for a sweet treat when you start this new series. And, if you live locally you will travel the streets of La Jolla with a fresh look at that area.

Professor Larry Berman, author of four previous works on Vietnam, has written a great book on one of the most important Navy leaders of the 20th century. Admiral Zumwalt believed deeply in a strong Navy worthy of our great nation. As the charismatic chief of naval operations and "the navy's most popular leader since WWII" (Time)  he embodied honor, courage, and commitment. During his career that spanned forty years, he rose to the top echelon of the U.S.Navy as commander of all navy forces in Vietnam. He revitalized the navy by measures regarding respect for the rights of enlisted men and women, and ultimately, created a more egalitarian navy as well as a smaller more modernized fleet better prepared to cope with the changing world.   The book covers the time of scandal and tumults, from Soviet's challenge for naval supremacy and the endgame in Vietnam to Watergate and an admiral's spy ring.  After he retired from the Navy n 1974 he spearheaded the effort to get benefits to thousands of Vietnam veterans who had been exposed to Agent Orange.  Professor Berman has written a compelling portrait of the controversial admiral who is widely regarded as the founder of the modern navy. Fascinating details about this controversial, brilliant man.
