Synopsis Boss of the Pool by : Robin Klein

Shelley is angry about having to tag along with her mum, who works in a hostel for children with intellectual disabilities. Why can't she stay home or with one of her girlfriends? Even the promise of the indoor pool is ruined by the presence of Ben, who watches from a safe distance and can't even say her name properly. Gradually Shelley moves from self-absorption to helping Ben overcome his terrible fear of water and teaching him to swim. An engaging story about trust, overcoming prejudice and seeing beyond yourself. This re-jacketed edition brings to a new audience Robin Klein's classic novel about an unlikely friendship between a young girl and a boy with an intellectual disability.

Synopsis The Reflecting Pool by : Otho Eskin

Murder leads to the White House Marko Zorn, a Washington, D.C. homicide detective with expensive tastes in art, classic cars, and women, must take on extra work—not always strictly legal, often unorthodox and usually dangerous—to supplement his income—work which requires his special combination of skill and steel nerves. Although he's adept at navigating the corridors of law enforcement and the world of criminal gangs, he'd prefer to stay home and watch old movies, enjoy his art collection, and listen to cool jazz. When Zorn discovers the body of a Secret Service agent—a supposed drowning victim—it leads him to a domestic terrorist group with tentacles in the White House—a White House that does not want this death investigated. As the demands of his professional life escalate, Zorn's alternate career heats up, placing him in the middle of competing D.C. crime bosses feuding over a shipment of illegal arms—making Zorn the hunted and the hunter. He needs to avoid becoming the victim as he navigates the twin forces of evil closing in on him from his legitimate job—facing down political power—and his secret side job. Perfect for Grisham and Patterson fans Head Shot, the next Marko Zorn novel, coming December 2021

Synopsis The Pool Boy by : Nikki Sloane

Nothing says happy birthday like catching your husband in a compromising position with his boss. His male boss. Why, hello, midlife crisis. I'm starting over, but this time I'm doing it right. Or at least I'm doing what I want. Taking the day off from work to hang out poolside? Yup. Do I leave the swimsuit in my house? Sure. Does my very hot, twenty-something pool boy happen to catch me naked? Oh, yeah, he does. And he likes what he sees... a lot. My best friend keeps telling me to have a fling and get back out there. But I'm not so sure she meant for me to do it with her son.

Synopsis Swimming in the Steno Pool: A Retro Guide to Making It in the Office by : Lynn Peril

Feed your boss’s ego. Dress for success. And don’t let your heels trip you up on the corporate ladder. Millions of women have held the position of secretary, alternately lauded as a breakthrough opportunity and excoriated as dead-end busy work. From the female pioneers who infiltrated Capitol Hill offices during the Civil War to today’s tech-savvy administrative assistants, secretaries have withstood criticism for abandoning their rightful sphere (the home), weathered the dubious advice of secretarial guide-books, taken hits from feminists and antifeminists alike, and demanded the right to resist making coffee—all while making their bosses look good. In Swimming in the Steno Pool, author-secretary Lynn Peril profiles the various incarnations of the secretary, from pliable, sexy mate of the "office husband" to postfeminist executive-in-training, drawing inspiration from a wide range of "femorabilia" and secretarial guidebooks of yesteryear. Featuring an array of fabulous illustrations promoting office equipment and office girls alike, Peril delivers a feisty, witty celebration of the women who’ve been running the show for decades.
