Whirlwind: The Caretaker Trilogy: Book 2
In Firestorm, the first book of the Caretaker Trilogy, seventeen-year-old Jack Danielson saved the world’s oceans, but at great personal cost – his parents were killed and everything he knew and believed in was turned upside down. Now Jack has come home to see P.J., his girlfriend and sole remaining touchstone. But she’s missing, and blame falls on Jack. On the run with Gisco, his crafty canine sidekick, Jack is literally caught up in a whirlwind as he travels to the heart of darkness to rescue P.J. – a journey that will bring him face-to-face with the father of his old nemesis, the colonel, aka the Dark Lord from the future. Jack’s quest becomes all the more complicated as he discovers that the only person who can stop the Dark Lord is another time traveler, the wizard Kidah, who has disappeared in the present. Book 2 of the Caretaker Trilogy mixes heart-racing adventure with an urgent ecological warning about the fragility of the world’s rain forests and the importance of respect for indigenous peoples. Readers will be drawn into the vortex of the quest—whether or not they’re familiar with Book 1. .

The Caretaker and the Dumb Waiter (Pinter, Harold)
Jacket description back: In all of Pinter's plays, seemingly ordinary events become charged with profound, if elusive, meaning, haunting pathos, and wild comedy. In The Caretaker, a tramp finds lodging in the derelict house of two brothers; in The Dumbwaiter, a pair of gunmen wait for the kill in a decayed lodging house. Harold Pinter gradually exposes the inner strains and fear of his characters, alternating hilarity and character to create and almost unbearable edge of tension. .

Amy Archer-Gilligan: Entrepreneur, Caretaker, Serial Killer
I have written two books about serial murderers, Perfect Poison and Every Move You Make. This Short is also about a serial killer, Amy Archer-Gilligan, Joseph Kesselring's inspiration for the smash Broadway hit Arsenic and Old Lace, which later became a Hollywood film. What's interesting about Amy Archer, beyond her method of murder, is that she was, in my opinion, responsible for inventing and developing what we know today as elderly home care by opening the first private sector nursing home (as a business venture) in the early 1900s. This is the story of how that concept came to be—and, more important, how Amy Archer murdered perhaps two dozen men and women who sought refuge from old age in her home..
