Whitcoulls Recommends: All In and The Steps

All In by David Baldacci: the latest in the Travis Devine series – Travis works for the Department of Homeland Security and is called in to help when a journalist is shot and left for dead on a NYC street and the intelligence analyst she was working with disappears without a trace. Travis’s search for answers takes him to Sydney where he discovers that Australia’s richest family appears to be involved, up to its neck, but how and why is unclear and he teams up with a local detective to figure out what’s going on; and how to stop it. Pacy, clever, with lots of twists and turns.

The Steps by Sylvester Stallone. Sly looks back over his life and career, with insights into the young man who made his breakthrough with Rocky and became one of the most unlikely heroes of Hollywood. Along the way he talks about his violent and impoverished childhood, his determination to make something of himself and how he went about it, the success which eventually came and his refusal to make compromises for an easy life. It’s a terrific retelling of a fascinating life about someone who overcame the odds and has managed to remain true to himself along the way.
