Film Adaptation of Lee Child's One Shot Now Titled Jack Reacher

Purchase/Rental Option(s)

This second season of the reimagining of the popular Doyle characters in contemporary London may be superior to the hard to top first season. Though the episodes are different in scope and content, they do share outstanding performances by the principal actors, most particularly this season, Andrew Scott as James Moriarty.

Please Welcome Crime Novelist Mark Gilleo

We are delighted to feature crime novelist Mark Gilleo as our guest blogger today, with an excerpt from, and commentary on, his new thriller Love Thy Neighbor (The Story Plant, March 2012 trade paperback and ebook editions). Mark is visiting with us courtesy of Partners in Crime Tours. We encourage you to take a look at the other participating sites; you can see his complete tour schedule here.

Author's note … this part is true: In late 1999 a woman from Vienna, Virginia, a suburb ten miles from the White House as the crow flies, called the CIA. The woman, a fifty-something mother of three, phoned to report what she referred to as potential terrorists living across the street from her middle-class home. She went on to explain what she had been seeing in her otherwise quiet neighborhood: Strange men of seemingly Middle-Eastern descent using their cell phones in the yard. Meetings in the middle of the night with bumper-to-bumper curbside parking, expensive cars rubbing ends with vans and common Japanese imports. A constant flow of young men, some who seemed to stay for long periods of time without introducing themselves to anyone in the neighborhood. The construction of a six-foot wooden fence to hide the backyard from the street only made the property more suspicious.

Upon hearing a layperson’s description of suspicious behavior, the CIA promptly dismissed the woman and her phone call. (Ironically, the woman lived less than a quarter of a mile from a CIA installation, though it was not CIA headquarters as was later reported.)

In the days and weeks following 9/11, the intelligence community in the U.S. began to learn the identities of the nineteen hijackers who had flown the planes into the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon. In the process of their investigation they discovered that two of the hijackers, one on each of the planes that hit the World Trade Towers, had listed a particular house in Vienna, Virginia as a place of residence.

The FBI and various other agencies swooped in on the unassuming neighborhood and began knocking on doors. When they reached the house of a certain mother of three, she stopped them dead in their tracks. She was purported to have said, “I called the CIA two years ago to report that terrorists were living across the street and no one did anything.”

The CIA claimed to have no record of a phone call.

The news networks set up cameras and began broadcasting from the residential street. ABC, NBC, FOX. The FBI followed up with further inquiries. The woman’s story was later bounced around the various post 9/11 committees and intelligence hearings on Capitol Hill. (Incidentally, after 9/11, the CIA closed its multi-story facility in the neighborhood where the terrorist reportedly lived. In 2006 the empty building was finally torn down and, as of early 2011, was being replaced with another office building).

There has been much speculation about what the government should have or could have known prior to 9/11. The answer is not simple. There have been anecdotal stories of people in Florida and elsewhere who claimed to have reported similar “terrorist” type activities by suspicious people prior to 9/11. None of these stories have been proven.

What we do know is that with the exception of the flight school instructor in Minnesota who questioned the motive of a student who was interested in flying an aircraft without learning how to land, and an unheeded warning from actor James Woods who was on a plane from Boston with several of the purported terrorists while they were doing a trial run, the woman from Vienna, Virginia was the country’s best chance to prevent 9/11. To date, there has been no verification of any other pre-9/11 warnings from the general public so far in advance of that fateful day in September.

For me, there is no doubt as to the validity of the claims of the woman in Vienna.

She lived in the house where I grew up. She is my mother. (Mark Gilleo, October 2011, Washington DC.)

  Ariana turned on the nightlight and closed the door to her daughter's room. She walked down the carpeted hall towards the light stretching out from the plastic chandelier over the dining room table. Her husband's chair was empty and she quietly called out his name. No response. As Ariana turned the corner to the kitchen and reached for the knob on the cabinet over the counter, eight hundred pages of advertising crashed into her rib cage, sucking the wind from her lungs. As his wife doubled over, Nazim raised the thick Yellow Book with both hands and hit her on her back, driving her body to the floor.
  "Don't you ever disobey me in front of others again."
  Ariana coughed. There was no blood. This time. She tried to speak but her lips only quivered. Her thick-framed glasses rested on the floor, out of reach. Her brain fought to make sense of what happened, what had set her husband off. It could have been anything. But every curse had its blessing, and for Ariana the blessing was the fact that Nazim didn't hit her in front of Liana. A blessing that the child didn't see her mother being punched. The reason was simple. Nazim was afraid of his daughter. Afraid of what she could say now that she could speak.
  The curse was that Ariana never knew when she had crossed the line. She never knew when the next blow was coming. She merely had to wait until they were alone to learn her fate for past indiscretions.
  Ariana gasped slowly for air. She didn't cry. The pain she felt in her side wasn't bad enough to give her husband the satisfaction.
  "When I say it is time to leave, it is time to leave. There is no room for negotiation in this marriage."
  Ariana panted as her mind flashed back to the Christmas party. She immediately realized her faux pas. "I didn't want to be rude to Maria. She spent days making dessert. She is old. Do we not respect our elders anymore?"
  Nazim pushed his wife onto the floor with his knee, a reaction Ariana fully expected. "You are my wife. This is about you and me. Our neighbor has nothing to do with it." Nazim looked down at Ariana sprawled on the linoleum and spit on her with more mock than saliva.
  "Maria is my friend."
  "Well, her son is coming home and she doesn't need you."
  Nazim dropped the yellow book on the counter with a thud and went to the basement. Ariana gathered herself, pushing her body onto all fours and then pulling herself up by the front of the oven. She looked at the Yellow Book and her blood boiled. It was like getting hit by a cinderblock with soft edges. When it hit flush, it left very little bruising. As her husband intended. For a man of slight build, Nazim could generate power when a beating was needed.
  Ariana took inventory of herself, one hand propping herself up on the counter. She had been beaten worse. Far worse. By other men before she met her husband. Her eyes moved beyond the Yellow Pages and settled on the knife set on the counter, the shiny German steel resting in its wooden block holder. She grabbed the fillet knife, caressed the blade with her eyes, and then pushed the thought from her mind.
  Her husband called her from the basement and she snapped out of her momentary daze. "Coming," she answered, putting the knife back in its designated slot in the wood. She knew what was coming next. It was always the same. A physical assault followed by a sexual one. She reached up her skirt and removed her panties. There was no sense in having another pair ripped, even if robbing Nazim of the joy would cost her a punch or two.
  Christmas, the season of giving, she thought as she made her way down the stairs into the chilly basement.

About Love Thy Neighbor:

Clark Hayden is a graduate student trying to help his mother navigate through the loss of his father while she continues to live in their house near Washington DC. With his mother's diminishing mental capacity becoming the norm, Clark expects a certain amount of craziness as he heads home for the holidays. What he couldn't possibly anticipate, though, is that he would find himself catapulted into the middle of the terrorist operation.

As the holiday festivities reach a crescendo, a terrorist cell — which happens to be across the street — is activated. Suddenly Clark is discovering things he never knew about deadly chemicals, secret government operations, suspiciously missing neighbors, and the intentions of a gorgeous IRS auditor. Clark's quiet suburban neighborhood is about to become one of the most deadly places on the planet, and it's up to Clark to prevent the loss of hundreds of thousands of innocent lives in the nation's capital.

A Feast of Ice & Fire: The Official Cookbook of Game of Thrones

Fans of the HBO series Game of Thrones will not want to miss this new companion book, published Tuesday, May 29th, by Bantam: A Feast of Ice & Fire, the official cookbook of the series.

Ever wonder what it's like to attend a feast at Winterfell? Wish you could split a lemon cake with Sansa Stark, scarf down a pork pie with the Night's Watch, or indulge in honeyfingers with Daenerys Targaryen? George R. R. Martin's bestselling saga "A Song of Ice and Fire" and the its adaptation on HBO are renowned for bringing Westeros's sights and sounds to vivid life. But one important ingredient has always been missing: the mouthwatering dishes that form the backdrop of this extraordinary world. Now, fresh out of the series that redefined fantasy, comes the cookbook that may just redefine dinner … and lunch, and breakfast.

A Feast of Ice & Fire lovingly replicates a stunning range of cuisines from across the Seven Kingdoms and beyond. From the sumptuous delicacies enjoyed in the halls of power at King's Landing, to the warm and smoky comfort foods of the frozen North, to the rich, exotic fare of the mysterious lands east of Westeros, there's a flavor for every palate, and a treat for every chef.

These easy-to-follow recipes have been refined for modern cooking techniques, but adventurous eaters can also attempt the authentic medieval meals that inspired them. The authors have suggested substitutions for some of the more fantastical ingredients, so you won't have to stock your kitchen with camel, live doves, or dragon eggs to create meals fit for a king (or a khaleesi).

Consider these kingdom favorites:

• The Wall: Rack of Lamb and Herbs; Pork Pie; Mutton in Onion-Ale Broth; Mulled Wine; Pease Porridge.

• The North: Beef and Bacon Pie; Honeyed Chicken; Aurochs with Roasted Leeks; Baked Apples.

• The South: Cream Swans; Trout Wrapped in Bacon; Stewed Rabbit; Sister’s Stew; Blueberry Tarts.

• King’s Landing: Lemon Cakes; Quails Drowned in Butter; Almond Crusted Trout; Bowls of Brown; Iced Milk with Honey.

• Dorne: Stuffed Grape Leaves; Duck with Lemons; Chickpea Paste.

• Across the Narrow Sea: Biscuits and Bacon; Tyroshi Honeyfingers; Wintercakes; Honey-Spiced Locusts.

There's even a guide to dining and entertaining in the style of the Seven Kingdoms. Exhaustively researched and reverently detailed, accompanied by passages from all five books in the series and full-color photographs guaranteed to whet your appetite, this is the companion to the blockbuster phenomenon that millions of stomachs have been growling for. And remember, winter is coming — so don't be afraid to put on a few pounds.

Henning Mankell's Wallander Series Two, New on DVD

The second series of the Swedish-language crime drama Wallander is released on DVD tomorrow, Tuesday May 29th, 2012. The 13 feature film length episodes were originally broadcast on Sweden's TV4 through 2009 and the first six months of 2010. (It aired in the UK during the summer of 2011 though to our knowledge none of these episodes have previously aired in the US.)

Krister Henriksson reprises his role as Inspector Kurt Wallander, based on a character created by crime novelist Henning Mankell.

As series opens, Wallander is growing increasingly disillusioned with his work, often wondering whether he should have become a police officer at all. Still living with the fallout and memories of some of his past actions, coupled with a failing state of health, Wallander hopes to put himself at ease in a new home by the sea. But any thought of peace and quiet is quickly shattered when he is pulled into a murder investigation...and then another … until he comes to understand that applying his brilliant detective's mind in the pursuit of truth and justice is indeed his destiny.

Wallander is in Swedish with English subtitles. Watch a promo for the series below.

This television series of original stories should not be confused with the nine Swedish-language theatrical film adaptations of the novels by Mankell — Rolf Lassgård played the character in these — nor the English-language versions produced by BBC starring Kenneth Branagh as Wallander.

Lifetime Developing Series based on Clarice Starling from The Silence of the Lambs

NBC is developing a crime drama based on characters in Thomas Harris's 1981 novel Red Dragon, and now we're learning that Lifetime Television is taking a similar route, developing a series around FBI profiler Clarice Starling, introduced in the author's second "Hannibal Lecter" thriller, the 1988 novel The Silence of the Lambs, and played so memorably by Jodie Foster in the film adaptation. (She won an Academy Award for her performance.)

Clarice — the tentative name for the Lifetime series — would follow the character soon after she graduates from the FBI academy.

No casting or further production details are known at this time.
