Oath of Office by Michael Palmer: What if a well respected doctor
inexplicably goes on a murderous rampage? When Dr. John Meacham goes on a
shooting spree the office, his business partner, staff, and two patients are
killed in the bloodbath. Then Meacham turns the gun on himself. The blame falls
on Dr. Lou Welcome. Welcome worked with Meacham years before as a counselor
after John's medical license had been revoked for drug addiction. Lou knew that
John was an excellent doctor and deserved to be practicing medicine and fought
hard for his license to be restored. After hearing the news of the violent
outburst, Lou is in shock like everyone else, but mostly he's incredulous. And
when he begins to look into it further, the terrifying evidence he finds takes
him down a path to an unspeakable conspiracy that seems to lead directly to the
White House and those in the highest positions of power.

Take Shelter (DVD): Curtis LaForche lives in a small town in
Ohio with his wife, Samantha, and daughter, Hannah, a six-year-old deaf girl.
When Curtis begins to have terrifying dreams, he keeps the visions to himself,

backyard. His inexplicable behavior concerns those closest to him, but the

with Curtis's privately held fear of what his dreams may truly signify.Check http://www.baldwinlib.org/ for availability.
