The Conviction of Richard Nixon – James Reston Jr.
The Watergate scandal began with a break-in at the office of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Hotel on June 17, 1971, and ended when President Gerald Ford granted Richard M. Nixon a pardon on September 8, 1974, one month after Nixon resigned from office in disgrace. Effectively removed from the reach of prosecutors, Nixon returned to California, uncontrite and unconvicted, convinced that time would exonerate him of any wrongdoing and certain that history would remember his great accomplishments—the opening of China and the winding down of the Vietnam War—and forget his “mistake,†the “pipsqueak thing†called Watergate. In The Conviction of Richard Nixon, Reston provides a fascinating, fly-on-the-wall account of his involvement in the Nixon interviews as David Frost’s Watergate adviser.

Driven – James Sallis
Driven is the sequel to Drive, now also an award-winning film. As we exit the initial novel, Driver has killed Bernie Rose, ‘the only one he ever mourned,’ ending his campaign against those who double-crossed him. Driven tells how that young man, done with killing, later will become the one who goes down ‘at 3 a.m. on a clear, cool morning in a Tijuana bar.’ Seven years have passed. Driver has left the old life, become Paul West, and founded a successful business back in Phoenix. Walking down the street one day, he and his fiancee are attacked by two men and, while Driver dispatches both, his fiancee is killed. Sinking back into anonymity, aided by his friend Felix, an ex-gang banger and Desert Storm vet, Driver retreats, but finds that his past stalks him and will not stop. He has to turn and face it.
