The Bookseller-C. Robert Cales

The Bookseller 

A bookstore across from Boston Common operated by a lovable rare book dealer and his wife becomes the acquisition target of a violent South American drug cartel with a new, high tech smuggling process.

George Saunders married Elizabeth Stratton and The Bookseller, a bookstore, coffee parlor and residence across from Boston Common was a wedding present from her father thirty years before the story begins.

Frank Richter, Funeral Director, former high school basketball star and Best Man is reunited with his best friends by a rare book. Frank spends a week with George and Elizabeth on their sailboat and comes to the realization that the joys of life have been slipping away, unnoticed.

John Stoner, lead man for one of the largest construction companies in the country is in Freetown, MA where a woods is to be clears to make way for a mall. The crumbling old house within the woods has been the source of local legends for hundreds of years.

Carlos Ramirez, drug lord, child molester, murderer and that's just the tip of the iceberg...

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I was intrigued and had to read this book. I'm glad that I did. It was a roller coaster of a read and I love that. I really enjoyed it. It does have some things that are hard to read because of the context but if you keep in mind that it is fiction and just a book then you can get through it with no problems. Great job.
