Download or read book Blind Switch written by Claude P. Williams and published by Page Publishing, Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BLIND SWITCH--When a horse and rider are caught in a trap behind or between horses in such a way that keeps them from pursuing a free path forward. However, ordinary people can be caught in a Blind Switch, too. What does the murder of a small-town police chief, a long-forgotten prize fight, and a jockey suspended for race fixing have in common? Clarke Campbell, Blind Switch protagonist, finds the answer, but not until he becomes the prime suspect in one murder and the intended victim in another. After losing his beloved wife and best friend, Clarke has decided to walk away from his old, safe life and pursue a dream he has kept on the proverbial back shelf for years. So, along with gregarious pal and passionate gambler, Lex Nuckols, Clarke sets out to establish a small stable of racehorses of their own, while George Bernard Shaw, whom most folks know as Rabbit, is the stable's lovable seventy-five year old black groom. Responding to Rabbit's tender touch, the horses dazzle clockers one morning, and people take notice, especially Benjamin J. Shapiro, a vindictive federal appeals judge. And when the horses start to win, things begin to happen, but not always for the best. Blind Switch takes readers on a roller-coaster ride behind the gates of two of America's premier racetracks, but the story begins aboard a four-engine aircraft high above the Pacific Ocean with a loose stallion on board. Based on a lifetime of personal experience Blind Switch will be enjoyed by everyone who loves a good mystery, as well as the millions who clamor to their T.V. Sets on the first Saturday of each May to watch the next running of the Kentucky Derby.

Download or read book ORPHANED LEAVES written by Christopher Holt and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Visually horrifying and yet strangely affecting...An original way of looking at things, reminiscent of The Reader and is certainly just as harrowing.” Broo Doherty (Literary Critic) Otto Brandt is not Otto Brandt. He is Ernst Frick, a former Nazi War Criminal. With his stolen identity, he flees Europe in search of a new life in Australia, where he secures highly paid engineering work on the Snowy Mountains scheme and buys a run-down farm. He soon meets the locals who welcome him into their community.But their trusting friendship makes Brandt’s deception unbearable. Worse is to come when, to his horror, he finds that his new Shangri La is haunted by terrifying spectres and images from his Nazi past. He is at breaking point when he receives a desperate plea for help from Alan Gilbert, a vulnerable boy he had taught to swim on the long sea voyage to Australia. Alan is a victim of the infamous scheme to relocate homeless British children to Australia. Brandt drives to a remote Catholic mission and is outraged to find that a brutalised, starving Alan has been sexually abused. After a violent altercation with Alan’s tormentor, he brings the boy back to live with him on the farm.His legal adoption of Alan, aided by his friends, Peggy and Milo, give Brandt a raison d’etre. Before the war, Peggy had worked at the London Library, collecting ‘orphaned leaves’, the lost pages from rare books and restoring them to their rightful volumes. When she compares these orphaned leaves with the gaps and secrets in people’s lives, Brandt retreats into a darkening void of guilt and shame. He accepts that remorse for his crimes will never be enough. How could “owning up” be reconciled with his new responsibilities to Alan, and a community which has come to accept him as one of its own?
