Nan Holloway, a one-time network TV correspondent, is now barely making it as a PR consultant in small Upstate New York. Enter Alex Rayburn—a silver-haired man-about-town and a matchless detective, at least in his own mind. Life quickly changes for Nan, leaving her both titillated and terrified. In Adventure One: Reappearing Persons, Nan spots an ominous figure from the past and a missing woman reappears—dead. Nan and Alex are brought together in an uneasy partnership that turns out to be more dangerous—and more fun—than either of them anticipated. In Adventure Two: Unrelated Incidents, a cigar store Indian is stolen from Alex’s favorite tobacco emporium, and Nan learns of a threat made to a Native American environmental activist. Can the problematic pair uncover the sinister connection between these seemingly unrelated incidents without falling prey to a ruthless landowner and his murderous minions?

It is difficult to think of two twentieth century books by one author that have had as much influence on American culture when they were published as Alex Haley's monumental bestsellers, The Autobiography of Malcolm X (1965), and Roots (1976). They changed the way white and black America viewed each other and the country's history. This first biography of Haley follows him from his childhood in relative privilege in deeply segregated small town Tennessee to fame and fortune in high powered New York City. It was in the Navy, that Haley discovered himself as a writer, which eventually led his rise as a star journalist in the heyday of magazine personality profiles. At Playboy Magazine, Haley profiled everyone from Martin Luther King and Miles Davis to Johnny Carson and Malcolm X, leading to their collaboration on The Autobiography of Malcolm X. Roots was for Haley a deeper, more personal reach. The subsequent book and miniseries ignited an ongoing craze for family history, and made Haley one of the most famous writers in the country. Roots sold half a million copies in the first two months of publication, and the original television miniseries was viewed by 130 million people. Haley died in 1992. This deeply researched and compelling book by Robert J. Norrell offers the perfect opportunity to revisit his authorship, his career as one of the first African American star journalists, as well as an especially dramatic time of change in American history.
