He hopes he can continue to recover with the help of an amnesia support group and that the damage from his past isn’t permanent. It isn’t until fellow group member Sean Conner approaches him after a meeting that Doug realizes the trouble is just beginning. Sean has discovered in his attic what can only be called a scrapbook of a murder victim, but he has no recollection of the girl’s identity or why he might have gathered this information. Doug agrees to help and convinces his captain to open what had been a cold case. When he discovers that he had a personal connection to this case, suddenly he’s questioning everything he thought he knew about the case, about Sean, and about his own past.

Book Synopsis Screens Fade to Black by : David J. Leonard
Download or read book Screens Fade to Black written by David J. Leonard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-06-30 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The triple crown of Oscars awarded to Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, and Sidney Poitier on a single evening in 2002 seemed to mark a turning point for African Americans in cinema. Certainly it was hyped as such by the media, eager to overlook the nuances of this sudden embrace. In this new study, author David Leonard uses this event as a jumping-off point from which to discuss the current state of African-American cinema and the various genres that currently compose it. Looking at such recent films as Love and Basketball, Antwone Fisher, Training Day, and the two Barbershop films—all of which were directed by black artists, and most of which starred and were written by blacks as well—Leonard examines the issues of representation and opportunity in contemporary cinema. In many cases, these films-which walk a line between confronting racial stereotypes and trafficking in them-made a great deal of money while hardly playing to white audiences at all. By examining the ways in which they address the American Dream, racial progress, racial difference, blackness, whiteness, class, capitalism and a host of other issues, Leonard shows that while certainly there are differences between the grotesque images of years past and those that define today's era, the consistency of images across genre and time reflects the lasting power of racism, as well as the black community's response to it.

Book excerpt: A soda war explodes into murder for Nero Wolfe, “one of the two or three most beloved detectives in fiction” (Publishers Weekly). For the men of Madison Avenue, the battle between soft-drink giants Cherr-o-key and AmeriCherry seems heaven sent. For years now, the firm of Mills/Lake/Ryman has fought to help Cherr-o-key become the nation’s favorite fizzy cherry soda, but each time they come up with a new slogan, mascot, or jingle, AmeriCherry somehow beats them to it. There's a mole inside the agency, and only Nero Wolfe can ferret him out. Although he's as round as a cherry himself, Wolfe has no taste for soft drinks. But the question of industrial espionage is too sweet for him to resist, and so with assistant Archie Goodwin at his side, he sets out to end this vicious corporate feud. Only when the first adman dies does he realize that a marketing war can be just as dangerous as the real thing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clever, introverted Joan struggled to come to terms with her mother's death by plunging herself into a dark, colorless, emotionless world. At home, she played lacrosse with her older brother; the best therapy for two kids who had lost the solar power on which their lives had run. Away from home, she haunted the hallways of high school like an invisible ghost. Until one summer day when a golden boy moved in next door, which caused her humorous, awkward, often embarrassing inner conversations to tumble out to complicate and light her path back to living once more, out loud and in color. Reviews by Readers Windmark 5.0 out of 5 stars Great read for a High School Youth Reader I loved how this innocent high school "love story" takes you from when the pair meet, through the senior year together, through the eyes of a girl who is grieving the loss of her Mom. Seen through her eyes and emotions, it is a great journey to take with her, to learn how others cope with tragedy at such a tender age. Great character formation. You feel like you know these kids. The LaCrosse games and jargon are an added bonus for kids who are considering which sports to rake up. I read it first, and highly recommend it to young girls entering, or already in, high school. I'm giving it to a sweet 13 year old girl for Christmas! MH 5.0 out of 5 stars I highly recommend this book! This "young adult" book is a wonderful read for any age. Kris Abel-Helwig is a very talented writer whose characters are well-crafted and engaging. I highly recommend stepping into Joan's world and enjoying the experiences this book has to offer. Swan 5.0 out of 5 stars A story that you won't forget Great story and I loved the healthy (and entertaining) relating in it so much I read it twice. There's nothing formulaic about it. Let's point Hollywood to this! It's so much better than the Ladybird movie which was nice but had no fresh aha moments like this writer so deftly crafted. FTBW is brilliant! Shelby parmenter 5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read I love this book. I was so intrigued I read it in one weekend. This book keeps you on your toes with all the witty banter. Also very informational on lacrosse. Haha. I'm waiting for the next installment of this series as I know it will be just as great as the first one! Westleigh 5.0 out of 5 stars Great characters; great read! As a mother of teen readers, I sincerely appreciate well-written, young, female characters. While having to cope with stressful realities of high school life, Joan was blind-sided by tragedy, yet manages to be strong, intelligent, independent, and able to find her own path through it all. I found Joan to be a great example to young women, the characters to be distinct, realistic, and funny, and the story to be a welcome one! Glad to have read it - now, where's the next one?;-) One person found this helpful B. Suidikas 5.0 out of 5 stars f2b&w is a fantastic read. It is relatable f2b&w is a fantastic read. It is relatable, honest, emotional, and fun in it's storyline and it's characters. As a cancer survivor I was captivated in reading about how it takes a toll on more than just the patients. Definitely a finish in one sitting kind of book, and great for any and all readers. Enjoy! One person found this helpful Jim H. 5.0 out of 5 stars Smart, funny Smart, funny, riveting read, that once picked up cannot be put down. Loved Joan Jett, who stayed true to character throughout. I'd say, "hit me with your best shot," but you already did. 2 people found this helpful

Book Synopsis Slow Fade to Black by : Richard B. Jewell
Download or read book Slow Fade to Black written by Richard B. Jewell and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slow Fade to Black completes Richard B. Jewell’s richly detailed two-part history of the RKO film studio, which began with RKO Radio Pictures: A Titan Is Born, published in 2012. This second volume charts the studio’s fortunes, which peaked during World War II, declined in the postwar period, and finally collapsed in the 1950s. Drawing on hard-to-access archival materials, Jewell chronicles the period from 1942 to the company’s demise in 1957. Towering figures associated with the studio included Howard Hughes, Orson Welles, Charles Koerner, Val Lewton, Jane Russell, and Robert Mitchum. In addition to featuring an extraordinary cast of characters, the RKO story describes key aspects of entertainment history: Hollywood’s collaboration with Washington, film noir, censorship, HUAC, the rise of independent film production, and the impact of television on film. Taken as a whole, Jewell’s two-volume study represents the most substantial and insightful exploration of the Hollywood studio system to date.

Book excerpt: Where dreams go to die… Starring in a cult TV show was a blessing for Marnie Davante, especially now that her former fame could support her future dream of starting a children’s theater. So she’ll work the convention circuit. But then a costar is brazenly murdered in front of her. With a killer who vanishes into thin air with seemingly inhuman skill, and strange events plaguing Marnie, she feels she can’t even trust her own senses. Although his dear departed parents were famous actors, PI Bryan McFadden is about as far from Hollywood as you can get. The former military man is reluctant to get involved in such a bizarre case, but it quickly becomes obvious that Marnie is in grave danger, and he is compelled to help. It’s unclear if the killer is an obsessed fan or something more sinister. Could the show’s cast be cursed? How can Bryan keep Marnie safe when it becomes apparent there’s a force determined to make this her final curtain call?

Book excerpt: Book 1 of 5 in the epic paranormal suspense series. Book 1 of 5 in the epic paranormal suspense series. Any minute now a hooded man will come barreling out of nowhere and kill me. So that sucks. I know this because it has happened six times before. I wake up in this alley, hung from a post by a piece of rope lashed to one ankle, tied in a hangman's knot. After several minutes of work, I pry my bonds free, and about thirty seconds after I hit the ground, this guy in a black hooded robe gives me a pretty bad case of death. His hands are cold on my neck. And dry. I try to fight him, to claw at his eyes, but I can't reach, to scratch at his arms, but he's too strong. He's silent. I try to yell at him, but I manage more of a gurgle and some clicky noises. I don't even know what I'd say, I guess, but I can assure you that he seems like a real dick. Everything goes all fuzzy and fades to gray, then black. I die, and then I go... someplace else, I guess. I don't know. I can't remember that part just now. So it begins. One second JEFF GROBNAGGER is standing in line at the grocery store, and the next he's in an alley where a hooded figure strangles him to death. Sucks. This happens over and over again, every time Grobnagger has a seizure. Alley. Choking. Death. Repeat. What for? Why would anyone want to kill him repeatedly? Is it just a seizure dream? When a sniper's bullet shatters his apartment window, he realizes two things: he's in serious danger, and there's no way he's getting his security deposit back. Scroll up, click the cover to Look Inside and read the first chapter. Live. Die. Repeat.

Download or read book Fade to Black written by Philippe Parreno and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fade to Black is the series title for a group of projects organized or "triggered" by conceptual artist Philippe Parreno over the last 10 years. Parreno is the initiator, but has sometimes pursued his work in collaboration with colleagues such as Rirkrit Tiravanija (with whom he animated ventriloquist's dummies) or Liam Gillick (with whom he hung a fictional commercial banner along the highway in Bangkok). Fade to Black gathers 11 titled images of those projects, each photograph testimony to an action or ephemeral installation, and offers the images in glow-in-the-dark ink that must be exposed to light before it can be seen--and allowed to fade away again--in the dark. Fade to Black therefore exists without being visible until the viewer makes it so, and then only for a brief predetermined window: an ideal product for an artist who enjoys using time as a material. Each ghostly image in this unique, large-format, limited-edition artist's book is bound as a detachable print.
