Download or read book Murder by the Book written by Mitzi Pool Bridges and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-02-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tess Neeley knew at an early age that not everyone could tell when a person had lied or was walking into danger and not everyone could see events after and sometimes before they happened. She learned to keep her thoughts to herself. Bold headlines one morning read that Doctor Spence, world-renowned heart surgeon, had murdered his wife. Tess knew different. She'd seen the killer's heartless brown eyes in a vision, seen him raise the knife and slash. But who would believe her? Certainly not Leo Lakowski, Harris County's assistant DA and prosecutor of the case. Leo didn't know what to make of the journalist who hounds him relentlessly about the doctor's innocence. Even when his nephew is accused of murder, Leo doesn't believe that Tess saw what had really happened, unconvinced that she has the rare gift of sight. It isn't until they join forces on the dangerous journey to find his nephew's killer, not until Tess's life is on the line, do they realize that the murders are more diabolical than they imagined. When Tess's predictions prove true, he comes to believe in them and in her. With her rare insight and their mutual attraction, how could they help but fall in love? Will they share a future? Or will the killer succeed in his plan to kill anyone who stands in his way?

Download or read book Touch Sexuality and Hands in British Literature 1740 1901 written by Kimberly Cox and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-05 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Robert Lovelace’s uninvited hand-grasps in Samuel Richardson’s Clarissa to to Basil Hallward’s first encounter with Dorian Gray, literary depictions of touching hands in British literature from the 1740s to the 1890s communicate emotional dimensions of sexual experience that reflect shifting cultural norms associated with gender roles, sexuality, and sexual expression. But what is the relationship between hands, tactility, and sexuality in Victorian literature? And how do we best interpret what those touches communicate between characters? This volume addresses these questions by asserting a connection between the prevalence of violent, sexually charged touches in eighteenth-century novels such as those by Eliza Haywood, Samuel Richardson, and Frances Burney and growing public concern over handshake etiquette in the nineteenth century evident in works by Jane Austen, the Brontës, George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell, Thomas Hardy, Oscar Wilde, and Flora Annie Steel. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach that combines literary analysis with close analyses of paintings, musical compositions, and nonfictional texts, such as etiquette books and scientific treatises, to make a case for the significance of tactility to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century perceptions of selfhood and sexuality. In doing so, it draws attention to the communicative nature of skin-to-skin contact as represented in literature and traces a trajectory of meaning from the forceful grips that violate female characters in eighteenth-century novels to the consensual embraces common in Victorian and neo-Victorian literature.
