Book Synopsis Justice from Hell aka The Hanging Judge by : J.R. Roberts
Download or read book Justice from Hell aka The Hanging Judge written by J.R. Roberts and published by Speaking Volumes. This book was released on with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JUSTICE FROM HELL aka The Hanging Judge Clint Adams is looking forward to quiet times in Trickle Creek. Instead, he's met with a twitching body, hanging high and left for vultures. But in this town, there's no vulture hungrier than Judge Krueger. The judge's specialty isn't imposing old-fashioned justice on wrongdoers, though. This is outright lynching, and only the latest in a string of strung-ups. What's more, the suckers that Krueger and his Four Horsemen railroad all the way to the noose are innocent. It's time the Gunsmith cuts the ropes on these goons and stops the power-mad judge. And he'd better do it fast—because there's some tight twine and a high branch just waiting to snap the interloper's neck...
Book Synopsis Hanging Judge by : Fred Harvey Harrington
Download or read book Hanging Judge written by Fred Harvey Harrington and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isaac C. Parker, the stern U.S. judge for Indian Territory from 1875 to 1896, brought law and order to a lawless frontier region. He held court in the border city of Fort Smith, Arkansas, but his jurisdiction extended over the Indian tribal lands to the west. Pressing juries for convictions, Parker sent seventy-nine convicted criminals to the gallows - as many as six at a time. More often than not, however, he passed sentences on thousands of liquor dealers, rapists, and cattle and horse thieves - even throwing Belle Starr in the penitentiary for stealing a horse from a crippled boy. Credit is due to this "hanging judge" and the men who rode for Parker and restored order - two hundred deputy marshals, sixty-five of whom died in the line of duty. This new edition includes a foreword by Larry D. Ball, who situates Parker's court within the context of unrest and rising crime in Indian Territory.
Book Synopsis The Hanging Judge by : Michael Ponsor
Download or read book The Hanging Judge written by Michael Ponsor and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of The One-Eyed Judge: A New York Times–bestselling novel about a federal death penalty trial from the perspective of the presiding judge. When a drive-by shooting in Holyoke, Massachusetts, claims the lives of a drug dealer and a hockey mom volunteering at an inner-city clinic, the police arrest a rival gang member. With no death penalty in Massachusetts, the US attorney shifts the double homicide out of state jurisdiction into federal court so he can seek a death sentence. The Honorable David S. Norcross, a federal judge with only two years on the bench, now presides over the first death penalty case in the state in decades. He must referee the clash between an ambitious female prosecutor and a brilliant veteran defense attorney in a high-stress environment of community outrage, media pressure, vengeful gang members, and a romantic entanglement that threatens to capsize his trial—not to mention the most dangerous force of all: the unexpected. Written by judge Michael Ponsor, who presided over Massachusetts’s first capital case in over fifty years, The Hanging Judge explores the controversial issue of capital punishment in a dramatic and thought-provoking way that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is “a crackling court procedural” (Anita Shreve) and “gripping legal thriller” (Booklist) perfect for fans of Scott Turow.

Book Synopsis A Handbook on Hanging by : Charles Duff
Download or read book A Handbook on Hanging written by Charles Duff and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 1999-10-31 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Handbook on Hanging is a Swiftian tribute to that unappreciated mainstay of civilization: the hangman. With barbed insouciance, Charles Duff writes not only of hanging but of electrocution, decapitations, and gassings; of innocent men executed and of executions botched; of the bloodlust of mobs and the shabby excuses of the great. This coruscating and, in contemporary America, very relevant polemic makes clear that whatever else capital punishment may be said to be--justice, vengeance, a deterrent--it is certainly killing.

Recently-reunited childhood friends Charlie, Sam, and Malachi have come to a startling conclusion: whatever the Jabberwock is, it "wants to play" with them -- and it's imprisoned the whole county to make sure the trio won't abandon it. Meanwhile, Viola Tackett has murdered the only law enforcement officer in the county, and she's staging a kangaroo court to solidify her authority as residents vanish, one by one. Can Charlie, Sam, and Malachi survive Viola long enough to defeat The Jabberwock and return their town to the rest of the world? ★★★★★ "If you’ve been reading this amazing series, you probably knew it couldn’t get any more intense or complex. Well, The Hanging Judge reaches down your throat and grips your gut with an iron fist and doesn't let go, even when you reach "The End"." -- Kate Hickey ★★★★★ "Each book that I read in the Jabberwock series leaves me wanting more as every book ends. The suspense has my heart beating faster, the descriptive prose makes me feel as if I’m part of the story and the plight of each character infuses me with an unhealthy dose of angst. But I read on, yearning for more of the story as I wait for the next book." -- Lynn Geth ★★★★★ "This story. Stick a fork in me, 'cause I think I'm 'bout done. This tale isn't so much scary as...creepy. Haunting. The crawl-under-your-skin-and-lay-eggs-there menacing that just won't let loose. Yep. That kind of petrifying." -- Kentucky Bohemian ★★★★★ "The fourth book in Ninie Hammon's Nowhere USA series, hits the ground running, and doesn't slacken the pace until the last page, where it leaves you champing at the bit for the next installment." -- M. Durston The Hanging Judge is the fourth book in Ninie Hammon's new series, Nowhere USA, a riveting psychological thriller about the residents of a forgotten county that inexplicably sinks through reality to find itself in the middle of Nowhere. Fans of Justified, Under The Dome, and LOST will find themselves right at home in Nowhere USA.

Book excerpt: The gripping story of post-Mao China and the harrowing fate of the artist and activist Ai Weiwei In October 2010, Ai Weiwei's Sunflower Seeds appeared in the Turbine Hall in the Tate Modern. In April 2011, he was arrested and held for more than two months in terrible conditions. The most famous living Chinese artist and activist, Weiwei is a figure of extraordinary talent, courage, and integrity. From the beginning of his career, he has spoken out against the world's most powerful totalitarian regime, in part by creating some of the most beautiful and mysterious artworks of our age, works which have touched millions around the world. Just after Ai Weiwei's release from illegal detention, Barnaby Martin flew to Beijing to interview him about his imprisonment and to learn more about what is really going on behind the scenes in the upper echelons of the Chinese Communist Party. Based on these interviews and Martin's own intimate connections with China, Hanging Man is an exploration of Weiwei's life, art, and activism and also a meditation on the creative process, and on the history of art in modern China. It is a rich picture of the man and his milieu, of what he is trying to communicate with his art, and of the growing campaign for democracy and accountability in China. It is a book about courage and hope found in the absence of freedom and justice.
