    Epiphanius Tighe and the Dragon of East South Water Street
    • Epiphanius Tighe, the intrepid draconic taxonomist from A DIVERSITY OF DRAGONS, is on the trail again, hotly pursuing a Libyan specimen hell-bent on revenge in Chicago after the theft of its trove. Eppy is quickly drawn into a dangerous web of crime, graft, and deadly violence as he tracks the dragon into the abandoned freight tunnels under the Windy City, aided by his great grand-nephew Ciaran Tighe, a Jewish detective named Rasa Rapetsky, and Brennan Kirwin, a skeptical police investigator. Caught in the crossfire between police thugs, a mad professor, and the ire of a fire-breathing dragon, can Eppy save both the dragon and his new friends before disaster strikes?

      Through its history, Oceanside has been a community packed with personalities, including the first Eagle Scout, first female Jewish cantor, two Freedom Riders, noteworthy scientists, and caring citizens. It is where War of 1812 general Daniel Bedell shot his musket, Ziegfeld's Gilda Gray practiced her shimmy, basketball great Art Heyman dribbled, and NFL quarterback Jay Fiedler threw his first football. Academy Award nominee David Paymer studied acting, Disney chief executive officer Robert Iger watched the Mouseketeers, and New York Yankees president Randy Levine played Little League baseball. This is the neighborhood where Jeanne Marion Doane orated for women's suffrage, Secretary of the Navy Donald Winter navigated canals, and Goldman-Sachs chief executive officer Stephen Friedman filled his piggy bank. Its foundation is the people in its religious institutions, fire department, and school district. The area's business people are unified, hard working, and charitable.
