Список книг автора William MalteseAmen's Boy
Ripped from today's headlines, and based on the scandalously true story, Amen's Boy tells the tale of a young man who decides to become a Catholic priest. But before he can graduate from the seminary, he must preserve his youthful innocence from the physical, mental, and sexual abuse of…a sadistic father, a violent brother, a molesting classmate, and a secret cabal of priests hiding within the very framework of Mother Church herself. In the end, Jacob Campbell can only maintain his core self through what may be an actual epiphany, including visitations by angels and heavenly hosts–or possibly drug-induced self-delusions conjured up by exposure to hallucinogens and prescription pills. A riveting, terrifying, moving, and ultimately redeeming visit to seminary hell–and back again!
Matador, Mi Amor
Did Lalo Montego commit suicide in the bullring–and if so, why? And why did he leave his ranchero, hacienda, and bulls to his once-upon-a-time stepdaughter, Alyssa Dunlap, rather than to his only son, Adriano? Alyssa is left wondering if Adriano’s sudden romantic interest in her is the result of true love, or just a maneuver to reclaim an inheritance he believes is rightfully his. The popular matador Funuco de Galena also warns her about Adriano's intentions, but he has his own reasons to disrespect Adriano, since the handsome young bullfighter threatens to surpass Funuco’s renown in the ring. And someone is shooting Montego bulls before they even reach the corrida. A heart-felt story that will thrill all lovers of romantic suspense!

Or the legend that has Marie’s husband becoming a victim of Mont d'Esnembuc’s next fiery eruption?
