<\/a>He’s Robert Ellis. And today his debut novel, Access to Power<\/em>, is at the top of the Buffet. This intriguing tale of murderous mayhem and dirty politics is just as relevant today as when it hit the bestseller lists 12 years ago. Like the four blockbusters he’s produced since, Access to Power<\/em> is typical Robert Ellis: a readable story with a solid plot and strong characters.<\/p>\nWhile growing up in Philadelphia, Robert played rhythm guitar in numerous garage bands. While still a youngster, he was shaken by the\u00a0murder of a young woman near his home. His interest in crime fiction began to evolve with the films of Alfred Hitchcock and books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, John Buchan, and especially Dashiell Hammett, the American dean of hard-boiled detective novels. Soon Robert gave up music to focus on writing and filmmaking. He began skipping school to attend murder trials, and those experiences fueled the short stories he wrote during his teens.<\/p>\n
A few years later, Robert’s life was changed forever when he was asked to gather surveillance video of a mobster running for political office in New Jersey. While he hid on the third floor of a parking garage with a long-range camera, the subject emerged from a nearby building. The mobster looked directly up to Robert’s lens, and froze in wide-eyed terror.<\/p>\n
“He thought the camera was a rifle,” Robert recalled in a 2009 interview on NPR. “For a split second, he thought he was dead. And in a single instant, I realized that the horrific world Dashiell Hammett described so perfectly was alive and well, and always would be.”<\/p>\n

Police are quick to call it a case of robbery gone bad, but Frank Miles suspects something far more sinister behind the murder of his business partner.<\/p>\n Washington’s most feared image maker, Frank’s ruthless media manipulation has earned him countless admirers…and just as many enemies. Now, for the first time in his life, Frank’s met his match in a shadowy schemer as clever as himself–but far more lethal.<\/p>\n As the body count rises, Frank becomes the U.S. Attorney’s chief suspect–and a cunning killer’s next target. From the underground tunnels networking Capitol Hill to the dome high above, his race for the truth–and his life–will bring him face-to-face with power at its deadliest extremes–where winning isn’t everything…it’s the only thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Mystery & Thrillers<\/p>\n When EDGE operative Dillon Caldwell was given a mission to infiltrate the Sanchez Drug Cartel and bring down its head, Rafael Sanchez, Dillon figured it would be a long, grueling year that he might not survive. He had no idea it would be three horrific, gut-churning years, or that the price paid for his efforts would be a nightmare worse than abject failure.<\/p>\n Then, after his cover was blown, he watched in horror as his wife was slain in front of him. His parents were next. And his sister, who died, broken and burning, in his arms.<\/p>\n Dillon, wracked by loss and guilt, is nearly rabid in his hunt for Sanchez, intent on ending his reign of terror. What he finds along the way, though, will change everything Dillon thought he knew to be true.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Drama<\/p>\n Lisa Kaamp operates a small childcare business out of her home in Nogeksum, Michigan.
