Book Synopsis Poems for My FBI Agent by : Charlotte Geater
Download or read book Poems for My FBI Agent written by Charlotte Geater and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlotte Geater's poems for my FBI agent takes us down a Lynchian rabbit hole in which a sad and shadowy agent follows the poet's every move. This book's true surrealism lies in the fidelity with which it depicts how we now live--in a world where we are each the warm applause at the end of our own nightly show, and the rabid dogs ever-ready to devour one of our own. These poems are propelled forward by a pulsing investigative energy and filmic story arc.

Book excerpt: If Marlowe lived in Minnesota . . . If Spade spouted poetry . . . If the Big Lebowski were a small-time private eye . . . Meet Augie Boyer, private detective “Once upon a time, Sam Spade, Miles Roby, and Bill Maher all went to Bart Schneider’s laboratory. There was an accident—a spill, a flash of lightning—and only one character came out. Schneider named him Augie Boyer. You’ll love the big lug.” —Sean Doolittle, author of The Cleanup Private eye Augie Boyer is out of sorts. He’s been smoking too much Pontchartrain Pootie, his favorite varietal herb, and scarfing down an excess of fried food. He can’t stop thinking of his therapist wife, who left him for another therapist, and despite his new girlfriend’s best efforts, Augie’s testosterone levels have sunk lower than the winter temperatures of Minneapolis. On the eve of the Republican National Convention, a beautiful, blond violinist with multiple personalities walks into Augie’s office. She draws him into a complex case that involves neo-Nazi violin collectors, mind-control specialists, and thousands of antiabortion activists who’ve come to the Twin Cities for a rally that will bring new meaning to Labor Day. But when Augie uncovers an assassination plot, he must scramble to prevent a deranged act of political violence that strikes dangerously close to home. With wit, compassion, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, Bart Schneider creates a lovable yet flawed character and delivers a thrilling contemporary tale.

This book was released on 2024-10-11 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it that touches your soul, warms your heart or enlightens your mind? Do you dream and do you wonder? What do you seek and what comes of your thoughts? The Greeks sought, according to Aeschylus, to ‘tame the savageness of man, and make quiet the life of the world.’ The Earth itself is a Being, radiating outwards a consciousness that, no matter the vineyard in which you toil, each of us can reconnect with, refresh and renew ourselves, and perhaps even remake the world around us. In an Age of Absurdity, the soul’s longing has an uncommon degree of strength in the beauty of expression. Your thoughts and words change the world.

Book Synopsis The FBI Encyclopedia by : Michael Newton
Download or read book The FBI Encyclopedia written by Michael Newton and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Bureau of Investigation, America's most famous law enforcement agency, was established in 1908 and ever since has been the subject of countless books, articles, essays, congressional investigations, television programs and motion pictures--but even so it remains an enigma to many, deliberately shrouded in mystery on the basis of privacy or national security concerns. This encyclopedia has entries on a broad range of topics related to the FBI, including biographical sketches of directors, agents, attorneys general, notorious fugitives, and people (well known and unknown) targeted by the FBI; events, cases and investigations such as ILLWIND, ABSCAM and Amerasia; FBI terminology and programs such as COINTELPRO and VICAP; organizations marked for disruption including the KGB and the Ku Klux Klan; and various general topics such as psychological profiling, fingerprinting and electronic surveillance. It begins with a brief overview of the FBI's origins and history.

She has been on the front lines of some of the FBIs most gripping and memorable cases, including being chosen as one of the three agents to carry out the manhunt for the Unabomber in Lincoln, Montana. She has tailed terrorists, gone undercover as a gangsters moll, and posed as the madam for a call-girl ring. Now for the first time she reveals the dangers and rewards of being a woman on the front lines of the worlds most powerful law enforcement agency. She traces the unusual career path that led her to crime fighting, and recounts the incredible obstacles she faced as a woman and as a fledgling agent. She takes readers step by step through the profiling process and shows how she helped solve a number of incredible cases. The story of her role as a lead investigator on the notorious Tylenol Murderer case is particularly compelling. Finally, she gives the true, insiders story behind the investigation that led to the arrest of the Unabomber including information that the media cant or wont reveal. A remarkable portrait of courage and grace under fire, Special Agent offers a missing chapter to the annals of law enforcement and a dramatic and often funny portrait of an extraordinary woman who has dedicated her heart and soul to the crusade against crime.
Book Synopsis Johnny the Eternal by : A. Rodriguez
Download or read book Johnny the Eternal written by A. Rodriguez and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johnny is an impetuous young man who has died and been recruited by a Heavenly Order as an Earth Angel on the upcoming apocalypse. When he suffers an ostensibly fatal accident, causing him amnesia, he will have to find out who he really is again, and with the help of a beautiful chosen one he will do so; at the same time, he will find out his real purpose in life. He will have to battle unknown forces and rescue New York from its impending doom. Thus, accompanied by his growing Celestial powers and the help of the FBI, Johnny discovers a world outside his own (outside his lonely life) and a higher calling; indeed, a higher calling he's been trying to deny for years, such runs deep in his blood. It's a world that forces all his relationships to shatter. Johnny can't trust anyone with his secret, and for so long he felt burdened by it, until someone comes along and teaches him love and trust and to accept himself. He's forced to figure out how to reclaim his place instead of just taking up space.
Book Synopsis An American Requiem by : James Carroll
Download or read book An American Requiem written by James Carroll and published by HMH. This book was released on 1997-04-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award winner: This story of a family torn apart by the Vietnam era is “a magnificent portrayal of two noble men who broke each other’s hearts” (Booklist). James Carroll grew up in a Catholic family that seemed blessed. His father, who had once dreamed of becoming a priest, instead began a career in J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI, rising through the ranks and eventually becoming one of the most powerful men in the Pentagon, the founder of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Young Jim lived a privileged life, dating the daughter of a vice president and meeting the pope—all in the shadow of nuclear war, waiting for the red telephone to ring in his parents’ house. James fulfilled the goal his father had abandoned, becoming a priest himself. His feelings toward his father leaned toward worship as well—until the tumult of the 1960s came between them. Their disagreements, over Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights movement; turmoil in the Church; and finally, Vietnam—where the elder Carroll chose targets for US bombs—began to outweigh the bond between them. While one of James’s brothers fled to Canada, another was in law enforcement ferreting out draft dodgers. James, meanwhile, served as a chaplain at Boston University, protesting the war in the streets but ducking news cameras to avoid discovery. Their relationship would never be the same again. Only after Carroll left the priesthood to become a writer, and a husband with children of his own, did he begin to understand fully the struggles his father had faced. In An American Requiem, the New York Times bestselling author of Constantine’s Sword and Christ Actually offers a benediction, in “a moving memoir of the effect of the Vietnam War on his family that is at once personal and the story of a generation . . . at once heartbreaking and heroic, this is autobiography at its best” (Publishers Weekly).
Download or read book A Bit Much written by Lyndsay Rush and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER The debut poetry collection from Lyndsay Rush (aka @maryoliversdrunkcousin) is a humorous and joyful celebration of big feelings, tender truths, and hard-won wisdom, for fans of Maggie Smith, Kate Baer, and Kate Kennedy. At long last, a book of poetry for people who didn’t even know they liked poetry. And they’re in good company: author Lyndsay Rush didn’t know she liked it either. That is, until she embarked on an internet experiment under the Instagram username @MaryOliversDrunkCousin that turned into a body of work that struck a chord with women across the country; thanks to her signature wordplay, witticisms, and—against all odds—wisdom. With titles like "Shedonism", "Someone to Eat Chips With", "It’s Called Maximalism, Babe", and "Breaking News: Local Woman Gets Out of Bed", Rush’s debut collection of poetry uses humor to grapple with the female experience—from questioning whether or not to have children, to roasting the patriarchy, to challenging what it means to "age gracefully"—and each piece delivers gut-punching truths alongside gratifying punchlines. Readers walk away from Lyndsay’s work feeling seen, celebrated, and wholly convinced that joy is an urgent, worthwhile pursuit. With over 140 convention-bending poems—most of which are never-before-seen—this book is quite literally A Bit Much.

Book Synopsis Life Expressed in Poems and Short Stories by : Ronald B. Hall
Download or read book Life Expressed in Poems and Short Stories written by Ronald B. Hall and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great book that reflects a personal expression of life through poetry and short stories. The poems are not a series of love sonnets, although there are moments, but geared more toward images and opinions formed in living life here and abroad. I love history and desire it be told by those who lived it rather than those who wish it differently. The writings add small details to the lives of prominent figures, e.g., Bobby Kennedy, Muhammad Ali, and Linda Carter (Wonder Woman), where history has touched me. There are also wonderful personal stories of growing up in Kentucky.This is the author's second book that follows the fictional thriller The Russian, a book that develops the lives of CIA operative Sam Mountain and his nemesis Nikolai Baskov, an assassin working to influence world policy on behalf of the President of Russia.
Download or read book Beyond These Walls written by Tony Platt and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You should definitely read this book... What really struck me in reading Beyond These Walls was that Tony Platt had very seriously and carefully considered the contributions of social movements—feminist, queer, disability, and labor.” —Angela Davis Beyond These Walls is an ambitious and far-ranging exploration that tracks the legacy of crime and imprisonment in the United States, from the historical roots of the American criminal justice system to our modern state of over-incarceration, and offers a bold vision for a new future. Author Tony Platt, a recognized authority in the field of criminal justice, challenges the way we think about how and why millions of people are tracked, arrested, incarcerated, catalogued, and regulated in the United States. Beyond These Walls traces the disturbing history of punishment and social control, revealing how the criminal justice system attempts to enforce and justify inequalities associated with class, race, gender, and sexuality. Prisons and police departments are central to this process, but other institutions – from immigration and welfare to educational and public health agencies – are equally complicit. Platt argues that international and national politics shape perceptions of danger and determine the policies of local criminal justice agencies, while private policing and global corporations are deeply and undemocratically involved in the business of homeland security. Finally, Beyond These Walls demonstrates why efforts to reform criminal justice agencies have often expanded rather than contracted the net of social control. Drawing upon a long tradition of popular resistance, Platt concludes with a strategic vision of what it will take to achieve justice for all in this era of authoritarian disorder.
