Book Synopsis The Prettiest Feathers by : John Philpin
Download or read book The Prettiest Feathers written by John Philpin and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2009-08-19 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah Sinclair was the perfect victim--she wanted to die. When a darkly enigmatic man approaches her in the small antiquarian book store where she works, Sarah is drawn into a slow dance toward death. A death she couldn't stop even if she wanted to. She is stalked, yet blindly charmed. And when he kills her, seductively, silently, she smiles. Sarah's ex-husband, police officer Robert Sinclair, is the first to find her body and he calls it in to the one officer who will understand: his ex-mistress Detective Lane Frank. As Lane struggles to follow the increasingly elusive trail of clues, another macabre trail emerges--of bodies, coldly, tauntingly abandoned. As the FBI becomes involved, Lane must fight to retain her hold on the case and her grip on Robert Sinclair, whose grief sinks him further into an alcoholic haze of despair and desperation. As a calculating last resort, Lane calls on the one man who can help her stop the killing, a forensic psychiatrist who had stepped too close to the edge, crawled too deeply into the mind of evil. She calls a profiler who has dropped out of society, living simply in a cabin in the woods far away from the madness that called to him, threatened him. Lane calls her father. As they work together, Lane and her father slowly craft an image of a killer so brilliant he has murdered perhaps hundreds and never been caught, so cold that he cannot relinquish his power. With a tortuous trail of names and faces, the killer has insulated himself from those who would repress him and his need to kill, a need rooted in a disturbing, horrifying childhood. And as Lane and her father grow closer to finding the killer, the game becomes personal between two men on opposing sides of evil, men on the edge of an abyss of madness, from which there is only one escape--death.

Download or read book Primacy written by Barry D. Wade and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A commiserating and provocative tale, Primacy is an all-important lesson of love, tragedy and inspiration as told from an urban perspective. Propagated in the latter portion of the turbulent 60's, on the outskirts of the gritty streets of Philadelphia, it is the story of a young male born in a 'dysfunctional' household and living in a less than opulent neighborhood. With an adolescent's cognizant awareness of the times and personal events, the prognosticator's life starts out on an anger-laced, emotionally charged tumultuous journey that eventually transcends both the time and the streets of the "City of Brotherly Love". Later in the story as the prognosticator becomes of age you are escorted further into his moral decadence as he takes the reader descriptively fitting into the twenty-first century, meeting with consequences and humility. Eloquently written with appropriate vernacular and speech of the situational characters, this story brings into stark visualization a vivid visitation for the reader. Primacy is an empathetic journey for the many whom have felt that they have been through trying situations and that no other soul could possibly empathize.
Book Synopsis The Thing on the Shore by : Tom Fletcher
Download or read book The Thing on the Shore written by Tom Fletcher and published by Arcadia. This book was released on 2011-03-31 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A terrifying tale set in a malevolent call-centre that just might be alive - affirming Tom Fletcher as the dark master for the zero-hours generation. When Artemis Black is assigned to manage a call-centre on behalf of a mysterious multinational corporation called Interext, the isolation and remoteness of the place encourage him to implement a decidedly unhinged personal project, installing what purports to be cutting-edge AI technology, with a real, 'human' voice, on the automated answering systems. As a result of Artemis' actions, one of his employees, Arthur, becomes aware of an intangible landscape inside the labyrinthine systems of the call-centre - a landscape in which he can feel some kind of otherworldly consciousness stirring and in which, perhaps as a result of his father's increasingly alarming eccentricities, he feels that he could find his recently deceased mother. Arthur takes refuge in this belief as his father, his job, and his house slowly deteriorate around him. He begins to conflate the mysterious, interstitial region that exists down the phonelines with the sea, as that was where his mother drowned. In a way he is right - Artemis' meddlings have attracted something, it is just not as benevolent as he thinks . . .
Book Synopsis A Daunting Journey by : Kiereini, Jeremiah Gitau
Download or read book A Daunting Journey written by Kiereini, Jeremiah Gitau and published by East African Educational Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He is described as a Mau Mau oath-taker, seemingly of two minds ñ both for and against, loyal and disloyal. In A Daunting Journey, Jeremiah Gitau Kiereini, lets us into his life spanning three generations. He reveals insights into the influences and intrigues surrounding the early civil service and the powerful individuals who held Kenya's future in their hands. Kiereini also exposes the dichotomy that irreconcilably split the communities involved in the struggle for independence and the personal contradictions and challenges he encountered as he sought to find pride and loyalty in service to a newly independent Kenya. This is truly a fascinating chronicle that takes us from the humble and difficult years of childhood, through the Mau Mau years, the Kenyatta administration, the Moi regime, and on to the present in the life of Jeremiah Kiereini. Most captivating is the narrative on the infamous 1969 oath-taking commonly referred to as, ëCaai wa Gatunduí and the 1982 coup.

This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newsweek proclaimed 2009 as the Year of the Cougar. Hollywood was showcasing its leading ladies, who just happened to be over forty, with some leading men under forty. The article raised a question. It asked, Are Cougars what women really want to be? The answer is yes for some, and no way, for others. The term Cougar is often used to describe women over forty who pursue, prey, prowl and pounce on younger men. In M.A.R.E.S.- Mature, Attractive, Respectable, Even-Tempered, Single, Professional, Extraordinary, Ladies Over Forty, author Sherry Lynne demonstrates that M.A.R.E.S. are confident, attractive, fun-loving, and financially secure ladies who magnetize a man searching for those qualities. Married for twenty-four years and now divorced, Sherry Lynne shares knowledge and insights gleaned from her own personal experiences and those of others. She discusses the acronym she coined to represent this group of ladies who aspire to a higher level of femininity and professionalism. She tells how M.A.R.E.S. are the millennial version of what a noble, Victorian lady of the past would be. M.A.R.E.S. are the handkerchief-dropping, manner-filled, yet fun and exciting ladies the foremothers would be proud of.

Book Synopsis The Story Of A Sunday's Child by : Stevie Mills
Download or read book The Story Of A Sunday's Child written by Stevie Mills and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a genetic condition meets an addiction, life becomes difficult for a middle class mid-western girl. The Story Of A Sunday's Child is the true story of such an encounter.

When Stevie tells her fiancée about her problems she expects to be rejected but instead he is sympathetic. Unfortunately he turns out to be a high functioning alcoholic. Stevie watches helplessly as her marriage and her appearance become increasingly influenced by these two factors. It's the story of learning to live with something that cannot be changed; then finding the courage to leave a marriage gone aground on alcoholism. Nothing is sugar coated. Stevie's story is bluntly honest. It is not a "how I learned to live with" type of book. Many questions remain unresolved at the end of the narrative.
