Download or read book The Rope written by Alex Tresniowski and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author Alex Tresniowski comes a “compelling” (The Guardian) and “riveting” (The New York Times Book Review) true-crime thriller recounting the 1910 murder of ten-year-old Marie Smith, the dawn of modern criminal detection, and the launch of the NAACP. In the tranquil seaside town of Asbury Park, New Jersey, ten-year-old schoolgirl Marie Smith is brutally murdered. Small town officials, unable to find the culprit, call upon the young manager of a New York detective agency for help. It is the detective’s first murder case, and now, the specifics of the investigation and daring sting operation that caught the killer is captured in all its rich detail for the first time. Occurring exactly halfway between the end of the Civil War in 1865 and the formal beginning of the Civil Rights Movement in 1954, the brutal murder and its highly-covered investigation sits at the historic intersection of sweeping national forces—religious extremism, class struggle, the infancy of criminal forensics, and America’s Jim Crow racial violence. History and true crime collide in this “compelling and timely” (Vanity Fair) murder mystery featuring characters as complex and colorful as those found in the best psychological thrillers—the unconventional truth-seeking detective Ray Schindler; the sinister pedophile Frank Heidemann; the ambitious Asbury Park Sheriff Clarence Hetrick; the mysterious “sting artist,” Carl Neumeister; the indomitable crusader Ida Wells; and the victim, Marie Smith, who represented all the innocent and vulnerable children living in turn-of-the-century America. “Brisk and cinematic” (The Wall Street Journal), The Rope is an important piece of history that gives a voice to the voiceless and resurrects a long-forgotten true crime story that speaks to the very divisions tearing at the nation’s fabric today.

Book excerpt: When nine-year-old Tali Stark from the Bronx stops to give directions to "The Man" in a white limousine, she unwittingly puts herself on a trajectory to emotional and spiritual turmoil that will take her decades to rise above. Blaming herself for the heinous crime that happened because she didn't "go straight to school," Tali is bound by invisible chains of secrecy, shame, and self-imposed isolation.

Book excerpt: The compelling and insightful account of a New York Times reporter's abduction by the Taliban, and his wife's struggle to free him. In November 2008, David Rohde, a Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent for The New York Times, was kidnapped by the Taliban and held captive for seven months in the tribal areas of Pakistan. In the process, Rohde became the first American to witness how Pakistan's powerful military turns a blind eye toward a Taliban ministate thriving inside its borders.

What happens when one lost soul finally makes it to New York City, yet the reminders of his past life are omnipresent?

What happens to those who dare to live their lives outside of the strict confines of the town's traditional and regimented ways?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Xlibris, Kimbra Eberly is thrilled that her first anthology shines the spotlight on a compelling range of pieces that grew out of the group she established, The Writer’s Bloc. Visit www.kimbraeberly.net to learn more. Kimbra Eberly founded "The Writers Bloc" meetup group at Hub17 in February 2023, providing writers with a location to come together, work, share ideas, and enhance their writing skills. Poets, scriptwriters, and storytellers alike were all welcomed. It wasn't long until she realized they all shared a common objective: to overcome creative slowdowns and just do the work. It was then that she thought about setting a goal: Kimbra informed the group that they were going to publish a book so that their works could be seen by a wider audience. This became the heart of this anthology: a collection of short stories, poems, memoirs, & scripts from this group of amazing writers -- some amateur and a few that are award-winning. The stories are powerful, diverse, and beautifully written. They explore love, joy and heartbreak, some with historic references, some cultural, some deeply psychological and horrifying. All are captivating. This collection includes 24 pieces from 11 writers. The book also is filled with original artwork throughout. Kimbra is proud to be presenting this first volume on behalf of “The Writer’s Bloc.”
