Tom D'Agostino Presents
The Ghosts of King Philip's War
Tuesday November 18 at 6pm
King Philip's War was the bloodiest conflict ever fought on American soil. This was not a war of soldiers on a battlefield. Each race was
trying to completely annihilate the other with no mercy. Villages were burned on both sides and many of the casualties were women,
children and the elderly.  It is no wonder many of the places where the brutal killing took place are still haunted by those who fell victim to such cold, merciless killing. Even Metacom (King Philip) is said to haunt several places he knew in life. take a paranormal history lesson back in time and visit the revenants that still remain from the mostly forgotten war.  
Registration is required for planning by calling 397-3873.

Nash falls by David Baldacci
Nash falls
by David Baldacci

"Walter Nash is a sensitive, intelligent and kindhearted man. He has a wife and a daughter and a very high-level position at Sybaritic Investments, where his innate skills and dogged tenacity have carried him to the top of the pyramid in his business career. Despite never going on grand adventures, and always working too many hours, he has a happy and upscale life with his family. However, following his estranged Vietnam-veteran father's funeral, Nash is unexpectedly approached by the FBI in the middle of the night. They have an important request: become their inside man to expose an enterprise that is laundering large sums of money through Sybaritic. At the top of this illegal operation is Victoria Steers, an international criminal mastermind that the FBI has been trying to bring down for years. Nash has little choice but to accept the FBI's demands and try to bring Steers and her partners to justice. But when Steers discovers that Nash is working with the FBI, she turns the tables on him in a way he never could have contemplated. And that forces Nash to take the ultimate step both to survive and to take his revenge: He must become the exact opposite of who he has always been. And even that may not be enough"-- Provided by publisher
