Book Synopsis One More River by : Nicolas Freeling
Download or read book One More River written by Nicolas Freeling and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From an Edgar award–winning author, a crime novel about an English ex-pat on the run from danger is “a wondrous, strange trip through a very fine mind” (The New York Times). From the critically acclaimed author of the Van der Valk and the Henri Castang mystery series comes a stand-alone crime novel about a man startled out of his placid life in the South of France by a violent attempt on his life. An aging British crime writer living out his golden years in the south of France, John Charles is reaping the benefits of his successful career. But the moment a single gunshot shocks him out of this quiet existence, his life is forever altered. Fleeing his attackers, Charles finds adventure and excitement as he travels through Europe, staying one step ahead as he tries to uncover the identity of his pursuers. His journey becomes one of self-discovery, until the moment he falls into the hands of his enemies. . . . Praise for Nicolas Freeling: “In depth of characterization, command of language and breadth of thought, Mr. Freeling has few peers when it comes to the international policier.” —The New York Times “Nicolas Freeling . . . liberated the detective story from page-turning puzzler into a critique of society and an investigation of character.” —The Daily Telegraph “Freeling rewards with his oblique, subtly comic style.” —Publishers Weekly “Freeling writes like no one. . . . He is one of the most literate and idiosyncratic of crime writers.” —Los Angeles Times

Download or read book Shrink written by david wolgroch and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2011-03-27 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1969, a Jewish honor student in the Bronx is a school newspaper editor, the son of Holocaust survivors and the newest member of a Puerto Rican extortion gang. A strong inciting sequence puts a sixteen-year-old boy in a dilemma of possible violence. After angering the gang's leader Dave, at a neighborhood pizzeria, he reduces the bruise-planting consequences by sharp thinking and more importantly, by appearing to assimilate. It's a short leap from a call-out challenge to an affinity for Carlos Santana records, but the inward identity isn't altered. After the immediate crisis is managed, the cleanly demarcated goal is to quit the gang without repercussions. This is best done by brainwashing its tough but insecure leader. As a memoirist, Wolgroch is interested in phenomena of deception and manipulation. Situational ethics on the individual level get a look. "The distinction between caring for someone and exploiting them is precariously fragile." Having found in himself an ability to influence the actions and ideas of others, Wolgroch sets wheels to turning which will eventually lead to his vocation as a psychologist. The introduction demonstrates social discomfort comes with being introduced as a "shrink" at gatherings. There are unwanted mind-reading tests, cheesy jibes, a whole truckload of assumptions. There is not a fitting opportunity to mention the good old days of terrorizing shop owners out of "protection" money. This memoir of about novella length uses well-considered pacing decisions to help hold dramatic interest. The setting, an urban neighborhood in ethnic transition, and the reversed dynamic of an isolated white person operating within a minority group are partly leveraged, though readers may wish to have learned more about them from the memoirist's inside vantage. Shrink is fleshed out with brief passages which the reader may initially identify as digressions to irrelevant though interesting historical topics, but then find they tie back to the narrative, illustrating a principle in an original way. For example, the Vietnam War's birthdate-based draft shows the effects of arbitrary reallocation of life-chances on the psyches of military-age males. Teen readers are a natural target for this story of formation, but the writing offers grist for adult minds also. The world is brimming with armchair psychoanalysts. "Indeed we are all amateur scientists when faced with the challenge of understanding the curious behavior of others..."

Book Synopsis Television Fright Films of the 1970s by : David Deal
Download or read book Television Fright Films of the 1970s written by David Deal and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the made-for-television movie has long been regarded as a poor stepchild of the film industry, then telefilm horror has been the most uncelebrated offspring of all. Considered unworthy of critical attention, scary movies made for television have received little notice over the years. Yet millions of fans grew up watching them--especially during the 1970s--and remember them fondly. This exhaustive survey addresses the lack of critical attention by evaluating such films on their own merits. Covering nearly 150 made-for-TV fright movies from the 1970s, the book includes credits, a plot synopsis, and critical commentary for each. From the well-remembered Don't Be Afraid of the Dark to the better-forgotten Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby, it's a trustworthy and entertaining guide to the golden age of the televised horror movie.
Book Synopsis Sherlock Holmes and the Apocalypse Murders by : Barry Day
Download or read book Sherlock Holmes and the Apocalypse Murders written by Barry Day and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gruesome new murder puts London’s greatest detective on the trail of Jack the Ripper—again. “[Day] always captures the flavor of Conan Doyle” (The Sherlockian E-Times). Croxley Mews is a typical London street: narrow, winding, and dark. Sherlock Holmes has never trod its cobblestones—until the day a woman is found lying dead on them. It is a murder gruesome enough to shock even the battle-hardened Dr. Watson, who has never before seen a woman disemboweled. It looks unmistakably like the handiwork of that notorious murderer who stalked the alleys of Whitechapel a decade before. Holmes is not fazed. He caught Jack the Ripper once—and he will do so again. At the height of the Ripper murders, Holmes was called in by his brother Mycroft to catch the killer, whose social position made him impossible to arrest. The killer was exiled, but now he may have returned—bringing all the terrors of the apocalypse in his wake.
