New York Dead by Stuart Woods, ISBN 1587881489

It Was Just Luck
Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he's too smart to be a cop, but it's pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside out.
Suddenly he is on the front page of every New York newspaper, and his life is hopelessly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the country's hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman.
No matter where he turns, the case is waiting for him, haunting his nights and turning his days into a living hell. Stone finds himself caught in a perilous web of unspeakable crimes, dangerous friends, and sexual depravity that has throughout it one common thread: Sasha.

Secular Steeples: Popular Culture and the Religious Imagination by Ostwalt, Conrad, Jr., ISBN 1563383616

In Secular Steeples, Conrad Ostwalt challenges long-held assumptions about the relationship between religion and culture and about the impact of secularization. This book tries to move away from the idea that religion will diminish as secularization continues. Instead, Ostwalt guides us along a busy two-way street, where religions and secular views interact and enrich each other.
