Copan Books

 A tenth anniversary edition of the 2015 hedge fund mystery classic, lauded as “a terrific debut” by NY Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen, and which made newspaper headlines in Bermuda.

 J. E. Rexroth, a Manhattan private detective whose business isn’t exactly thriving, knows next to nothing about the three trillion dollar hedge fund industry.  But when Samantha Little, wife of a hedge fund manager, comes to his office worried about threatening phone calls and refusing to tell him who referred her, he has his doubts but takes the case.  He soon finds embezzlement and murder, but that's just for starters.  

 Summer 1944. D-Day. The Allies land on the Normandy beaches. War rages in Europe. Adam, a fifteen-year-old Yugoslavian teenager, has found safety with his mother and sister in an upstate New York refugee shelter. Christine lives near the shelter, sees Adam behind the fence that surrounds it, and manages to sneak in. So begins a love story between a Jewish boy and a Catholic girl who have much to learn from each other. A historical fiction about the power of first love, TWO SUNS uses information from government documents, personal interviews from the Emergency Refugee Shelter residents, and newspaper articles. Adam and Christine are not real people, but they reflect life in and around the shelter. The Denver Post called this Scott O’Dell Award winner and an ALA Best Book for Young Adult “remarkably evocative.” The Horn Book aptly referred to it as “most timely, reflecting not only what is happening now in many places around the world but also America’s attitude toward immigrants and refugees.” While the review was written for the book’s first printing, timeliness prevails.
