Book excerpt: Als in een bouwput in Londen een eeuwenoud skelet wordt opgegraven, komt er onverwacht een vijfhonderd jaar oud complot om de koningin van Engeland te vermoorden aan het licht. Een bijzondere ring aan de rechterwijsvinger van het skelet is de eerste aanwijzing dat er veel meer aan de hand is dan alleen vertraging bij de bouw van een nieuw flatgebouw. Inspecteur Jack Pendragon wordt met de zaak belast. Hij is net overgeplaatst uit Oxford naar het politiebureau aan Brick Lane. Dan worden er in de dagen na de vondst van het skelet twee moorden gepleegd. Pendragon en zijn team moeten gissen naar het motief, maar het is duidelijk dat de moorden iets met het skelet en de ring te maken hebben. Pendragon zal zijn jarenlange ervaring moeten inzetten om een moordenaar te stoppen die van zijn zieke obsessie een dodelijk spel heeft gemaakt.

When builders dig up an ancient skeleton in the City of London, they have no idea of the poisonous legacy they have just unleashed. For on the skeleton's finger is a beautiful emerald ring that once belonged to Lucrezia Borgia, the most powerful - and most evil - woman of the Renaissance. Hours later the skeleton has vanished and one man is dead. For DCI Jack Pendragon - newly transferred from Oxford to Brick Lane - it's a first case he could have done without. And with two more gruesome deaths in quick succession, it's clear there's a killer out there with a deadly compulsion. A killer drawing his murderous inspiration from a 15th-century family whose cruelty and depravity knew no limits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All five books in 'Triple Threat Mysteries', a series of cozy mystery novels by Tyler Colins, now in one volume! The Connecticut Corpse Caper: A week-long stay in a creepy oversize Connecticut mansion is replete with hidden passageways, disappearing and reappearing corpses, and seven quirky inheritance recipients. Soon, people start dropping like flies. Donning amateur sleuth caps, Jill and her associates, Rey and Linda, attempt to solve the mystifying murders. Soon, others jump in, and the bumbling, stumbling and mayhem begin. Can You Hula Like Hilo Hattie?: The novice sleuths accept their first official detecting assignment: uncovering the “secret" of an elderly millionaire’s pretty young wife. If they succeed, their newly founded business, The Triple Threat Investigation Agency, will prove a viable venture. But after the wife is found murdered along the sapphire shores of Oahu, the sleuths discover that the deceased woman was not the only one keeping secrets. But who is the murderer? Coco's Nuts: The Triple Threat Investigation Agency private eyes undertake their second major assignment: proving their client, once-socialite-Vassar-grad-turned-trucker Buddy Feuer, isn’t responsible for two murders. She had no motive to kill her boss, infamous entrepreneur Jimmy Picolo, nor did she murder her best friend, Eb Stretta. As the rookie P.I.s strive to uncover a killer amid yet another cast of curious and unconventional characters, they meet up with old acquaintances who may or may not have their best interests at heart. Forever Poi: The ever-proud owners of the Triple Threat Investigation Agency—JJ, Rey, and Linda—have a new case. Who set ablaze two happening Chinatown art galleries, leaving a couple of charcoal-broiled corpses in the rubble? Any number of curious characters in the local art world could be responsible, including a haughty gallery owner with a questionable past and an art consultant living on the edge. If only the gals can figure out the "why", they'll have their "who". Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha: The pretty P.I.s from the Triple Threat Investigation Agency have a new case, thanks to a serial killer who has taken a serious interest in them. The GrimReaperPeeper has challenged them to “play the game”, by his rules. Rules are made to be broken, however... or, at the very least, changed. As the trio attempts to determine who he killer might be, they also need to tackle a couple of other cases, including verifying whether a hubby has a roving eye and ascertaining who is stalking a young, beautiful woman. But can the cases be somehow intertwined?

Download or read book Cosmology Calendars and Horizon Based Astronomy in Ancient Mesoamerica written by Anne S. Dowd and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cosmology, Calendars, and Horizon-Based Astronomy in Ancient Mesoamerica is an interdisciplinary tour de force that establishes the critical role astronomy played in the religious and civic lives of the ancient peoples of Mesoamerica. Providing extraordinary examples of how Precolumbian peoples merged ideas about the cosmos with those concerning calendar and astronomy, the volume showcases the value of detailed examinations of astronomical data for understanding ancient cultures. The volume is divided into three sections: investigations into Mesoamerican horizon-based astronomy, the cosmological principles expressed in Mesoamerican religious imagery and rituals related to astronomy, and the aspects of Mesoamerican calendars related to archaeoastronomy. It also provides cutting-edge research on diverse topics such as records of calendar and horizon-based astronomical observation (like the Dresden and Borgia codices), iconography of burial assemblages, architectural alignment studies, urban planning, and counting or measuring devices. Contributors—who are among the most respected in their fields— explore new dimensions in Mesoamerican timekeeping and skywatching in the Olmec, Maya, Teotihuacano, Zapotec, and Aztec cultures. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of anthropology, archaeology, art history, and astronomy.
Download or read book The Los Angeles Sugar Ring written by Michael Niotta and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this intimate true crime biography, the author recounts his great grandfather’s journey from local grocer to Prohibition-era crime boss. Sicilian immigrant “Big George” Niotta did exceptionally well for a grocery wholesaler. That’s because his biggest clients were bootleggers. He delivered hundreds of pounds of sugar to illegal liquor operations across California, supplying an essential ingredient and making sweet profits. But his criminal operations didn’t end there. Niotta rose to prominence thanks to his magnetic charm, collaborating with infamous bootlegger Frank Borgia and influential gambling baron Jack Dragna. Dogged by the IRS, Niotta expanded his enterprise into ringer horses, a multimillion-dollar lottery, and a notorious gambling parlor. Through extensive research and interviews with family members, J. Michael Niotta explores three decades of L.A. crime, including a rare insider's look at the Eagle Brewing Company and other survivors of Prohibition.
