    Months later, “The Man Who Wouldn’t Die” was still there, feeling good, holding court in a nonstop “salon” for his family and dozens of famous friends, and confronting things you usually don’t talk about before you die; he even jokes about them.Here Buchwald shares not only his remarkable experience–as dozens of old pals from Ethel Kennedy to John Glenn to the Queen of Swaziland join the party–but also his whole wonderful life: his first love, an early brush with death in a foxhole on Eniwetok Atoll, his fourteen champagne years in Paris, fame as a columnist syndicated in hundreds of newspapers, and his incarnation as hospice superstar. Buchwald also shares his sorrows: coping with an absent mother, childhood in a foster home, and separation from his wife, Ann. He plans his funeral (with a priest, a rabbi, and Billy Graham, to cover all the bases) and strategizes how to land a big obituary in The New York Times (“Make sure no head of state or Nobel Prize winner dies on the same day”). He describes how he and a few of his famous friends finagled cut-rate burial plots on Martha’s Vineyard and how he acquired a Picasso drawing without really trying.What we have here is a national treasure, the complete Buchwald, uncertain of where the next days or weeks may take him but unfazed by the inevitable, living life to the fullest, with frankness, dignity, and humor. “[Art Buchwald] has given his friends, their families, and his audiences so many laughs and so much joy through the years that that alone would be an enduring legacy. But Art has never been just about the quick laugh. His humor is a road map to essential truths and insights that might otherwise have eluded us.”–Tom Brokaw From the Hardcover edition.

Now she uses that unparalleled experience to reboot Carolyn Weston’s groundbreaking series of books, which were the basis for the hit TV show "The Streets of San Francisco." Sgt. Al Krug and his younger, college-educated partner Casey Kellog are investigating a string of strangulation killings when another victim is found at the Presidio…but a surprising, violent incident at the crime scene makes them wonder if everything is what it seems.

    1939. Young Inga Salzer hardens her heart and prostitutes herself to the Nazi Lebensborn program which drives toward the expansion of the Aryan race. Now pregnant by an SS officer, she proudly anticipates offering her "sacred child of good blood" to the Third Reich.Fifteen year old Max Drexel immerses himself in the brutal sports of the Hitler Youth and absorbs its worship of the Fuehrer and of Nature. To further his career ambitions, Steffin Lindeman drifts toward an embrace of Positive Christianity which mingles the traditional Gospel with an ardor for the ancient gods of Nordic mythology. There is nothing that can bring such wildly different people together...or it there? Two-year-old Anna Drexel comes down with meningitis and is taken by the family doctor to his special clinic. It is there that the agonizing battle for Anna's life expands into a raging war for the hearts and souls of Inga, Max and Steffin. And threatening them all is Karl Zorn, Gestapo Chief in Max's hometown of Heidelberg, who describes himself as "a simple man with simple pleasures." The chilling fact is that foremost of his pleasures is hunting down and killing his favorite game--human beings. So what would happen if a series of frightening events were to drive each of these people, each for his or her own particular purposes, on a five day mad journey into the depths of the Black Forest? Based on years of research into the more bizarre aspects of Nazi Germany, Anna's Bear tells a story of moral conflict and fierce pursuit, with moments of surprising tenderness, high tension, and even hints of laughter in the midst of such darkness, finally leading to a totally unforeseeable ending.
