A fugitive New York City cop is on the run from both the law and the mafia after killing a local thug. Trying to make his escape in a boat he stole from his uncle, castaway Fred Freiman, a German American, comes ashore on the islands and stumbles upon the body of a beautiful, enigmatic German baroness with a hatchet in her head. The next day the baroness’s two strange companions are also found murdered. Freiman soon finds himself trapped into tracking down the murderer, or murderers, by a corrupt local official. International politics, local intrigues, and personal passions swirl around Fred as he learns more about the murdered woman, who is described by some as a monster and by others as a lost soul. Early in his investigation Freiman meets Ana de Guzmán, a young, wealthy Ecuadorian woman who teams up with him to unravel the tangled mysteries. As he struggles to solve the murders, Freiman puzzles over the baroness’s shady past and begins to wonder: Do sirens sing intentionally to trap sailors, or do they sing because it is their nature to sing? “A deftly crafted and compelling read from beginning to end.” —Midwest Book Review “A well-paced detective story set in the pre-World War II Galapagos.” —Historical Novel Society

So when a corpse floats up into an ice hole one morning, the intense shock is enough to shake her out of it. Soon, Sheriff Matt Gabriel’s team confirm the body to be a mob-connected New York ex-con, who could have been in the area to carry out a hit – and Blackwater’s quiet streets threaten to be submerged by a ravenous media circus. Then, as a girl from the local high school goes missing, the puzzle deepens. She was one of Jess's pupils, and her disappearance is inexplicable. Though – she was recently cautioned for drug use. Could this be a factor? As the community prepares for its annual Ice Festival, Matt and Jess work to unravel these mysterious events. Could the two cases be connected? Who did the ex-con want to kill? And will Jess sort her life out in time for the wife-sliding competition?

Now, when evening shadows fall, the picturesque little lanes seem filled with menace and golden Cotswold stones are stained with blood in the first of Paula Gosling’s Luke Abbott series, The Wychford Murders. Detective Chief Inspector Luke Abbott is sent to find the killer. He was born and brought up in Wychford – but he hardly recognizes it. The young girl he loved has become the local doctor. The boy who once bullied him is now a respected local Squire. And in all the small homes and cottages the people of Wychford hide – wondering who next will fall victim to the killer’s bloody knife. Abbott’s investigation exposes the private lives behind the postcard prettiness: secret loves and hates, perversion, envy, jealousy, greed, and – eventually – a ruthless murderer.

Book Synopsis All Men Must Die by : Carolyne Larrington
Download or read book All Men Must Die written by Carolyne Larrington and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'All men must die': or 'Valar Morghulis', as the traditional Essos greeting is rendered in High Valyrian. And die they do – in prodigious numbers; in imaginatively varied and gruesome ways; and often in terror within the viciously unpredictable world that is HBO's sensational evocation of Game of Thrones. Epic in scope and in imaginative breadth, the stories that are brought to life tell of the dramatic rise and fall of nations, the brutal sweeping away of old orders and the advent of new autarchs in the eternal quest for dominion. Yet, as this book reveals, many potent and intimate narratives of love and passion can be found within these grand landscapes of heroism, honour and death. They focus on strong relationships between women and family, as well as among the anti-heroes, the 'cripples, bastards and broken things'. In this vital follow-up to Winter Is Coming (2015), acclaimed medievalist Carolyne Larrington explores themes of power, blood-kin, lust and sex in order to draw entirely fresh meanings out of the show of the century.
