Book excerpt: It was 1862 and the town of Sickville had many Gold Mines that thrived in an overabundance of wealth until greed took over and friends and neighbors became enemies. There was always someone standing guard by their mines, but there were too many people not in on the cut. So, that's when things got ugly and people that used to be friends started dying just to get their hands on the gold. The sound of gunfire could be heard daily, but many of the greedy townspeople who were killed to get in on a piece of the action had no mining skills so the town of Sickville went belly up in just a year. The only place where business was thriving was the cemetery. A town that had a population of a thousand was now in the hundreds. Many of the survivors that survived the bloodshed left town out of fear of not knowing when their day was up to be buried in the cemetery that was quickly running out of space for their dead. Finally, the fifty people left standing afraid, hungry and broke decided there was nothing left in the town of Sickville to warrant their stay. So, the people got all their valuables and got on their horses in search of a town to call their new home. After a few months, the town of Sickville was nothing, but a ghost town with tumbleweeds rolling around. All the life that this town once had was sucked out of it through a precious metal that only caused death and destruction.

Book excerpt: “You swing just as high for killing one as you do three.” Called on to perform an autopsy for a murder case, Doctor Rebekah LaRoche and Just Jimmy find themselves as unlikely detectives in a town with too many secrets. One of the bandits who held the old mission—and Rebekah—hostage is accused of murdering Ruby Palmer, a young woman who took some of those secrets with her in death. When Rebekah discovers the truth about Ruby’s death during the autopsy, she realizes her former captor is innocent. But when she tries to bring the evidence to light, she soon learns truth isn’t something this town welcomes. There isn’t one straight shooter in the lot—the corrupt sheriff, judge, and leading townsmen are ready to lynch the bandit with barely a trial. The only man Rebekah can put any trust in is Deputy Thad Biggins. But what hidden agenda is driving him? With the whole town against her, Rebekah finds herself facing an impossible choice: let a bandit guilty of many crimes hang for one he didn’t commit; or make one last stand for justice by robbing Ruby Palmer’s grave. *** About the Doc Beck Westerns series: Of Omaha Indian and French descent, 34-year-old Doctor Rebekah LaRoche goes by Doc Beck, which gets her foot in doors before her patients and patrons realize she’s a woman.

Traveling the West in the 1890s to lend aid and cure the sick, Doc Beck finds herself solving problems and setting straight more than just broken bones.

Book excerpt: A necromage and a graverobber hunt down a magic-resistant zombie they accidentally set loose before their crimes are discovered. In 1880 Charleston, disguising herself as a man is only the start of what Wilhelmina Ashton must do to succeed in the Medical and Magical College of South Carolina. As a necromage, she needs something truly exceptional to satisfy her ambitions—such as a corpse that’s rumored to reanimate by itself. With the hired help of Dirty Henry, a gruff graverobber, she sneaks into the cemetery to steal this unique cadaver. The lynch pin of their plan is Ashton’s magic, but at the crucial moment it has no effect on the revenant.

Now stuck within twenty feet of each other at all times as a result of the spell, the unlikely allies are forced to work together.

Book Synopsis Gifts from Decorah Laurah by : Dennis Glawe
Download or read book Gifts from Decorah Laurah written by Dennis Glawe and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-04 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gold coin found in the time capsule of East Side School was a real coin. Gus Klemetson, editor of the Decorah Docket and amateur coin collector, knew that, but he couldn't find any reference to it. The name of the donor, Decorah Laurah, also had no history. With persistence, luck, and help, he uncovered a most amazing story. Abraham Lincoln had commissioned a secret mint in 1861, the coins destined to buy Sioux Indian peacefulness during the impending Civil War. Stolen before delivery, Gus tracked their circuitous journey to the person of Decorah Laurah. Unfortunately, his quest soon struck very close to home, almost costing Gus his life and everything dear to him.
Book Synopsis Controversial Bodies by : John D. Lantos
Download or read book Controversial Bodies written by John D. Lantos and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-09-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controversial, fascinating, disturbing, and often beautiful, plastinated human bodies -- such as those found at Body Worlds exhibitions throughout the world -- have gripped the public's imagination. These displays have been lauded as educational, sparked protests, and drawn millions of visitors. This book looks at the powerful sway these corpses hold over their living audiences everywhere. Plastination was invented in the 1970s by German anatomist Gunther von Hagens. The process transforms living tissues into moldable plastic that can then be hardened into a permanent shape. Von Hagens first exhibited his expertly dissected, artfully posed plastinated bodies in Japan in 1995. Since then, his shows have continuously attracted so many paying customers that they have inspired imitators, brought accusations of unethical or even illegal behavior, and ignited vigorous debates among scientists, educators, religious leaders, and law enforcement officials. These lively, thought-provoking, and sometimes personal essays reflect on such public displays from ethical, legal, cultural, religious, pedagogical, and aesthetic perspectives. They examine what lies behind the exhibitions' popularity and explore the ramifications of turning corpses into a spectacle of amusement. Contributions from bioethicists, historians, physicians, anatomists, theologians, and novelists dig deeply into issues that compel, upset, and unsettle us all.
