- The flight portfolio / by Orringer, Julie,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."The long-awaited new work from the best-selling author of The Invisible Bridge takes us back to occupied Europe in this gripping historical novel based on the true story of Varian Fry's extraordinary attempt to save the work, and the lives, of Jewish artists fleeing the Holocaust. In 1940, Varian Fry--a Harvard educated American journalist--traveled to Marseille carrying three thousand dollars and a list of imperiled artists and writers he hoped to rescue within a few weeks. Instead, he ended up staying in France for thirteen months, working under the veil of a legitimate relief organization to procure false documents, amass emergency funds, and set up an underground railroad that led over the Pyrenees, into Spain, and finally to Lisbon, where the refugees embarked for safer ports. Among his many clients were Hannah Arendt, Franz Werfel, Andre Breton, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, and Marc Chagall. The Flight Portfolio opens at the Chagalls' ancient stone house in Gordes, France, as the novel's hero desperately tries to persuade them of the barbarism and tragedy descending on Europe. Masterfully crafted, exquisitely written, impossible to put down, this is historical fiction of the very first order, and resounding confirmation of Orringer's gifts as a novelist"--- Subjects: Biographical fiction.; Historical fiction.; Fry, Varian, 1907-1967; Jewish refugees; World War, 1939-1945; World War, 1939-1945;

- Flights and falls / by Greenaway, R. M.,author.;
"Late at night in December, along the treacherous Sea-to-Sky highway, a red Chevette crashes into the woods. There is one casualty: a young woman. Then, two passersby who had assisted the victim are ruthlessly attacked. Only one survives, and passes on a bizarre clue that sets in motion an investigation into what appears to be an unspeakable game of thrills. While Leith pores over past incidents along the stretch of highway to zero in on the faceless menace, Dion begins to suspect the team is on the wrong track - and that a crime from his past may hold the key to this deadly mystery."--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Royal Canadian Mounted Police; Murder; Traffic accidents;
