Download or read book Murder at Sea (Classic Reprint) written by Archibald Hurd and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Murder at Sea It was a large hall in a great seaport town At the sides and up and down the middle lay rows of shrouded objects with narrow passages opening between them. The blinds of the long windows had been drawn; the light was dim. From time to time men appeared at one or other of the doors, bearing other objects, which they laid reverently on the floor. No word was spoken, but now and again whispers suggested that orders were being given as to where the objects should be placed. Along the aisles running up and down the hall two old seamen, bent with years, moved without noise; here and there were little groups of people, men and women in the distress of overwhelming sorrow. A shroud would be raised and a hasty, furtive, shrinking glance taken at the features of a man or woman, wax-like and immobile.

Book Synopsis Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by : John Berendt
Download or read book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil written by John Berendt and published by Random House. This book was released on 1994-01-13 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic of true crime, set in a most beguiling Southern city—now in a 30th anniversary edition with a new afterword by the author “Elegant and wicked . . . might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime.”—The New York Times Book Review Shots rang out in Savannah’s grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. In this sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative, John Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman’s Card Club; the turbulent young gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the “soul of pampered self-absorption”; the uproariously funny drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young people dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Idols by the Sea: And Other Sermons They succeeded very well: they filled the earth with cries and curses, with bloodshed and maledictions. This wholesale homicide they called war. It was murder, to be sure, just like any other murder, but the word war seemed to this family to mention something justifiable. Even in time of peace the members of this family were in constant discord. Face to face they spoke sweetly enough, but each behind the other's back they lied and slandered without mercy. Dis honesty, profanity, impunity, and injustice reigned supreme; brother strove against brother, while father hated both son and daughter. Outwardly, full Often, all looked white and pure, but inwardly it was full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sea Hawk Buoys were bobbing gently in the outrunning tide; the endless straggle of shoredrift was lazing down the creek; round, water-washed cocoa husks twinkled and darkled in the stream, like the heads of so many swimmers; here was a sea-worn piece of planking, there a splintered spar, and, floating amid it all, was a cedar canoe in which a bareheaded young man, with an easy, self-confident look in his frank, likeable face, steadily and neatly plied the paddle, his glinting blue-gray eyes glancing sharply from right to left to mark what heartless tug captain might be aiming to run him down. For at times there were many towing masters speeding their stout boats about in Oakland Creek and the blue San Francisco bay beyond, and from the viewpoint of a man in a fourteen-foot canoe they were all desperate murderers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints on Shooting and Fishing: Both on Sea and Land So many excellent works have been written on shooting and all that relates to it, that it might at first sight appear unnecessary to introduce to the public another work on so beaten a subject. But if much has been communicated, much also has been passed over, either as unworthy of notice, or accidentally omitted, by those excellent, zealous, and intelligent sportsmen, who have already written on the subject; and, as time goes on, each day's experience may be productive of something new attracting our observation, and, at the same time, perhaps, not altogether unworthy of attention. This work is written principally, but not exclusively, for young sportsmen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Great Hotel Murder by : Vincent Starrett
Download or read book The Great Hotel Murder written by Vincent Starrett and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2020-09-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a grand Chicago hotel, a mysterious death sets a puzzling whodunnit in motion When a New York banker is discovered dead from an apparent morphine overdose in a Chicago hotel, the circumstances surrounding his untimely end are suspicious to say the least. The dead man had switched rooms the night before with a stranger he met and drank with in the hotel bar. And before that, he’d registered under a fake name at the hotel, told his drinking companion a fake story about his visit to the Windy City, and seemingly made no effort to contact the actress, performing in a local show, to whom he was married. All of which is more than enough to raise eyebrows among those who discovered the body. Enter theatre critic and amateur sleuth Riley Blackwood, a friend of the hotel’s owner, who endeavors to untangle this puzzling tale as discreetly as possible. But when another detective working the case, whose patron is unknown, is thrown from a yacht deck during a party by an equally unknown assailant, the investigation makes a splash among Chicago society. And then several of the possible suspects skip town, leaving Blackwood struggling to determine their guilt or innocence—and their whereabouts. Reissued for the first time in over eighty years, The Great Hotel Murder is a devilishly complex whodunnit with a classical aristocratic setting, sure to please Golden Age mystery fans of all stripes. In 1935, the story was adapted for a film of the same name.
Download or read book Three Bags Full written by Leonie Swann and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2010-10-29 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A witty philosophical murder mystery with a charming twist: the crack detectives are sheep determined to discover who killed their beloved shepherd. On a hillside near the cozy Irish village of Glennkill, a flock of sheep gathers around their shepherd, George, whose body lies pinned to the ground with a spade. George has cared devotedly for the flock, even reading them books every night. Led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly the world), they set out to find George’s killer. The A-team of investigators includes Othello, the “bad-boy” black ram; Mopple the Whale, a Merino who eats a lot and remembers everything; and Zora, a pensive black-faced ewe with a weakness for abysses. Joined by other members of the richly talented flock, they engage in nightlong discussions about the crime, wild metaphysical speculations, and embark on reconnaissance missions into the village, where they encounter some likely suspects. Along the way, the sheep confront their own all-too-human struggles with guilt, misdeeds, and unrequited love. Funny, fresh, and endearing, it introduces a wonderful new breed of detectives to Canadian readers.
Book Synopsis Greek Prose Composition (Classic Reprint) by : Henry Carr Pearson
Download or read book Greek Prose Composition (Classic Reprint) written by Henry Carr Pearson and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Book Synopsis The Best of Simple by : Langston Hughes
Download or read book The Best of Simple written by Langston Hughes and published by Hill & Wang. This book was released on 1961 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Langston Hughes's stories about Jesse B. Semple--first composed for a weekly column in the Chicago Defender and then collected in Simple Speaks His Mind, Simple Takes a Wife, and Simple Stakes a Claim--have been read and loved by hundreds of thousands of readers. In The Best of Simple, the author picked his favorites from these earlier volumes, stories that not only have proved popular but are now part of a great and growing literary tradition. Simple might be considered an Everyman for black Americans. Hughes himself wrote: "...these tales are about a great many people--although they are stories about no specific persons as such. But it is impossible to live in Harlem and not know at least a hundred Simples, fifty Joyces, twenty-five Zaritas, and several Cousin Minnies--or reasonable facsimiles thereof." As Arnold Rampersad has written, Simple is "one of the most memorable and winning characters in the annals of American literature, justly regarded as one of Hughes's most inspired creations." Langston Hughes was born in Joplin, Missouri, went to Cleveland, Ohio, lived for a number of years in Chicago, and long resided in New York City's Harlem. He graduated form Lincoln University in 1929 and was awarded an honorary Litt. D. in 1943. He was perhaps best known as a poet and the creator of Simple, but he also wrote novels, biography, history, plays (several of them Broadway hits), and children's books, and he edited several anthologies. Mr. Hughes died in 1967.
