Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is Peter Swanson’s electrifying tale of romantic noir, with shades of Hitchcock and reminiscent of the classic movie Body Heat. It is the story of a man swept into a vortex of irresistible passion and murder when an old love mysteriously reappears. On an ordinary Friday evening at his favorite Boston tavern, George Foss’s comfortable, predictable life is shattered when a beautiful woman sits down at the bar, a woman who vanished without a trace twenty years ago. Liana Dector isn’t just an ex-girlfriend, the first love George couldn’t quite forget. She’s also a dangerous enigma and quite possibly a cold-blooded killer wanted by the police. Suddenly, she’s back—and she needs George’s help. Ruthless men believe she stole some money . . . and they will do whatever it takes to get it back. George knows Liana is trouble. But he can’t say no—he never could—so he makes a choice that will plunge him into a terrifying whirlpool of lies, secrets, betrayal, and murder from which there is no sure escape. Bold and masterful, full of malicious foreboding and subtle surprises, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is an addictive, nonstop thriller—an ever-tightening coil of suspense that grips you right up to its electrifying end.
Book Synopsis Clock Face of Ills by : Paige Elizabeth Turner
Download or read book Clock Face of Ills written by Paige Elizabeth Turner and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘When planning a murder, many variables must be considered...Preparation is akin to a screenwriter stitching together plots and scenes, establishing timelines, and illuminating the manner by which the killer will escape prosecution.’ Paige Elizabeth Turner is back with Clock Face of Ills, the third instalment of the Watts Happening? Investigations series. In the book, Olivia Watts, former police sergeant and now proprietor of ‘Watts Happening? Investigations’ is commissioned to assist a covert operation investigating allegations against DI Philip McMaster. McMaster is embroiled in a boundary dispute with his neighbour Giuseppe Caruso. When an untapped vein of a historic gold belt is discovered beneath the properties, McMaster offers to purchase the Caruso property. Days later, Caruso is found dead in his home. The routine ‘tail and report’ investigation uncovers McMaster’s association with a gangland killer and a crooked solicitor. Olivia ties McMaster to fraud, deception and murder, only to find her evidence against the long-serving officer rejected by the police brotherhood. Within days Olivia’s life is threatened. Will she uncover enough evidence in time to protect herself and find Caruso’s killer? Clock Face of Ills is a gripping crime novel that keeps readers hooked until the very end. Comparable to the work of Sue Grafton, the book will appeal to fans of crime novels, especially readers who have enjoyed Paige’s previous two novels, Beyond All Doubt (Matador, 2017) and Whisper of Death (Matador, 2017).

Book Synopsis Woman on the Edge of Time by : Marge Piercy
Download or read book Woman on the Edge of Time written by Marge Piercy and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 1997-06-23 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as a classic of speculative fiction, Marge Piercy’s landmark novel is a transformative vision of two futures—and what it takes to will one or the other into reality. Harrowing and prescient, Woman on the Edge of Time speaks to a new generation on whom these choices weigh more heavily than ever before. Connie Ramos is a Mexican American woman living on the streets of New York. Once ambitious and proud, she has lost her child, her husband, her dignity—and now they want to take her sanity. After being unjustly committed to a mental institution, Connie is contacted by an envoy from the year 2137, who shows her a time of sexual and racial equality, environmental purity, and unprecedented self-actualization. But Connie also bears witness to another potential outcome: a society of grotesque exploitation in which the barrier between person and commodity has finally been eroded. One will become our world. And Connie herself may strike the decisive blow. Praise for Woman on the Edge of Time “This is one of those rare novels that leave us different people at the end than we were at the beginning. Whether you are reading Marge Piercy’s great work again or for the first time, it will remind you that we are creating the future with every choice we make.”—Gloria Steinem “An ambitious, unusual novel about the possibilities for moral courage in contemporary society.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer “A stunning, even astonishing novel . . . marvelous and compelling.”—Publishers Weekly “Connie Ramos’s world is cuttingly real.”—Newsweek “Absorbing and exciting.”—The New York Times Book Review
