A BombBuilt in Hell is Wesley's story. While doing extended time for killing a fellow prisoner, Wesley meets Carmine Trentoni in a New York state prison. Carmine's life sentence hasn't cut him off from his outside sources, and he sees great potential in Wesley to carry out his revenge, and carry on his lucrative business. Wesley emerges from prison prepared to be the perfect hitman: calculating, deadly, and driven by money. On his release from prison, Wesley follows Carmine's directions to locate a Mr. Petraglia—the Q to his working-class James Bond. Pet and Wesley set up shop in Brooklyn, and execute their assignments, from a rising Chinatown mobster to a visiting Haitian dignitary, with finesse—and, occasionally, more explosives than are strictly called for. But Wesley isn't satisfied with his low-profile lot, and sets out to make a mark on the city that everyone will notice—which he does, in a shocking, dynamite conclusion.

Book Synopsis You Killed Wesley Payne by : Sean Beaudoin
Download or read book You Killed Wesley Payne written by Sean Beaudoin and published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He's come to do a job. A job that involves a body. A body wrapped in duct tape found hanging from the goal posts at the end of the football field. You Killed Wesley Payne is a truly original and darkly hilarious update of classic pulp-noir, in which hard-boiled seventeen year-old Dalton Rev transfers to the mean hallways of Salt River High to take on the toughest case of his life. The question isn't whether Dalton's going to get paid. He always gets paid. Or whether he's gonna get the girl. He always (sometimes) gets the girl. The real question is whether Dalton Rev can outwit crooked cops and killer cliques in time to solve the mystery of "The Body" before it solves him. Sean Beaudoin (Going Nowhere Faster, Fade to Blue) evokes the distinctive voices of legendary crime/noir authors Dashiell Hammett and Jim Thompson with a little bit of Mean Girls and Heathers thrown in for good measure. It'll tease you, please you, and never ever leave you. Actually, that's not true. It's only a book. One that's going to suck you in, spit you out, and make you shake hands with the devil. Probably.
Book Synopsis Hetty Wesley by : Arthur Thomas Quiller-couch
Download or read book Hetty Wesley written by Arthur Thomas Quiller-couch and published by Aegypan. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, who sometimes wrote as Q, was a writer with tremendous range. Some of his work is what you'd expect from someone of Oscar Wilde's social class (though, if he had Wilde's talent, he'd have endured a lot more thoroughly than he has) -- quaintly quietly social stories from a member of the English gentry. Some of it (more successfully, we'd say) seems to ape Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure works, like Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Hetty Wesley is somewhere between those two poles: it's a mystery, the tale of an Englishman who's worked a lifetime in India -- and vanished on the voyage home. We like it, a lot. We think you will, too.
Download or read book The Powell Expedition written by Don Lago and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Powell Expedition is a thought-provoking, nuanced work that reads at times like a detective story, and it should offer much fodder for historians." —The Wall Street Journal John Wesley Powell’s 1869 expedition down the Green and Colorado Rivers and through the Grand Canyon continues to be one of the most celebrated adventures in American history, ranking with the Lewis and Clark expedition and the Apollo landings on the moon. For nearly twenty years Lago has researched the Powell expedition from new angles, traveled to thirteen states, and looked into archives and other sources no one else has searched. He has come up with many important new documents that change and expand our basic understanding of the expedition by looking into Powell’s crewmembers, some of whom have been almost entirely ignored by Powell historians. Historians tended to assume that Powell was the whole story and that his crewmembers were irrelevant. More seriously, because several crew members made critical comments about Powell and his leadership, historians who admired Powell were eager to ignore and discredit them. Lago offers a feast of new and important material about the river trip, and it will significantly rewrite the story of Powell’s famous expedition. This book is not only a major work on the Powell expedition, but on the history of American exploration of the West.
