Book Synopsis The Demosthenes Club by : Joseph A. McCaffrey
Download or read book The Demosthenes Club written by Joseph A. McCaffrey and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cynthia Power is found dead in her garage. The cops declare it a clear case of suicide over the objection of her psychiatrist who asks P.I. Bertrand McAbee to investigate. As he does he becomes aware of a high school group called the Demosthenes Club that was formed in 1967. Cynthia was a member, along with seven other students. They were extremely gifted and went on to great success with the exception of one who drowned just before graduation in 1968. McAbee discovers the eight students had strained relations with each other. Cynthia became aware of information that unsettled her as she was putting together a book about the club, so much so that it becomes apparent to McAbee that her work and speculations would make her dangerous. In the course of his investigation he is inexorably drawn to Cynthias time in Sarajevo and the murder of her lover Toma. Eventually, he sees the need to visit Sarajevo and Belgrade to finally get a hold on this extraordinary case. Through the process of his work he will utilize his associates who have figured heavily through all of his cases. Augusta Satin, his best friend and purported lover; Pat Trump, his can-do secretary; Jack Scholz, his dangerous right-hand man; and the troubled Barry Fisk, his computer wizard. As the investigation proceeds, McAbee will deal with the five remaining members of the club. Now in their late sixties, all of them are tough, battle-hardened, and compulsively protective of the reputations and legacies. And yet, at least one of them is probably a murderer with ruthless instincts.

Book Synopsis Demosthenes and His Time by : Raphael Sealey
Download or read book Demosthenes and His Time written by Raphael Sealey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1993-03-18 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws on a wide range of evidence to study the history of Athens from 386 to 322 B.C. Taking a sympathetic view of the Second Athenian League, Sealey focuses on the career of Demosthenes to provide important insights into Athenian politics and policies. Demosthenes experienced repeated setbacks in his early attempts at public activity, but found his mission as a statesman in the conflict with Macedon and subsequently became the leading man in Athens. Sealey rejects theories that assume programmatic divisions among Athenian statesmen into pro- and anti-Macedonians, and argues that all Athenians active in politics resented Macedonian ascendancy but recognized the necessity of accommodation to superior power. His account concludes with the defeat of Athens and its allies and the suicide of Demosthenes, presenting new insights not only into the life of Demosthenes and the turbulent years of his political career, but also the social and international factors bearing on Athenian political activity in general.
Book Synopsis The P.G. Wodehouse Miscellany by : N.T.P Murphy
Download or read book The P.G. Wodehouse Miscellany written by N.T.P Murphy and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: P.G. Wodehouse saw his first article published when still at school, and went on to become the leading humour writer of the twentieth century. He created characters famous across the English-speaking world, such as Rupert Psmith, Stanley Ukridge, Uncle Fred, the inhabitants of the Drones Club, Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, and Lord Emsworth and his beloved Empress, all of whom remain as popular today as they were when they first appeared all those years ago. But behind all the brilliant metaphors that make us laugh out loud, there is a surprising background of reality. Wodehouse didn't create his stories from scratch; he used real settings and exaggerated the characteristics of people he knew. With examples of Wodehouse's unique imagery, the P.G. Wodehouse Miscellany follows the development and progress of his legendary characters, tells us where Wodehouse got his ideas from and demonstrates why his admirers included Bertrand Russell, Berthold Brecht, George Orwell, Rudyard Kipling and the Kaiser. This informative little miscellany will be a must for all fans of P.G. Wodehouse.

Book Synopsis The Case of the Bear by : Joseph A. McCaffrey
Download or read book The Case of the Bear written by Joseph A. McCaffrey and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grigori Rasputin was assassinated in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1916. By some accounts this Orthodox monk had extraordinary gifts. He was a healer, a psychic, and some said a warlock. The Czar, Nicholas II, and his wife Tsarina Alexandra (Alix), advanced his career due to their belief in these gifts. According to the show trials held by the Bolsheviks after the Communist revolution, Rasputin was lecherous and morally corrupt. To this day Rasputin is an extremely controversial figure. The Kremlin, up to Vladimir Putin himself, has become obsessed with Rasputin. A top priority concerns any known progeny of his because a renowned Russian scientist has validated a research study from India dealing with inherited characteristics. From these distant considerations a beleaguered wife, Joanna Goodkind, seeks consolation from a psychic and healer, Alexandra Speranskya, who resides in Davenport, Iowa, a city along the Mississippi River. That desperate meeting between the two women will precipitate a series of events that will bring P.I. Bertrand McAbee into what he will ultimately declare as the strangest case he has ever encountered. The psychic Alexandra Speranskya has sought obscurity for good reason. She knows her heritage and she knows her gifts. Her plan to be hidden runs afoul as she begins to sense the Bear, Russia. Again P.I. Bertrand McAbee and his cadre at ACJ Investigations will soon find themselves dealing with the unseen forces of the Russian State as they close in on the mysterious enigma of Alexandra Speranskya and the unscrupulous FSB, and one particular agent, Lena Dzik.
