Download or read book No Room at the Morgue written by Jean-Patrick Manchette and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by the works of Dashiell Hammett, No Room at the Morgue is Jean-Patrick Manchette's unparalleled take on the private eye novel — fierce, politically inflected, and finely rendered by the haunting, pitch-black prose for which the author is famed. No Room at the Morgue came out after Jean-Patrick Manchette had transformed French crime fiction with such brilliantly plotted, politically charged, unrelentingly violent tales as Nada and The Mad and the Bad. Here, inspired by his love of Dashiell Hammett, Manchette introduces Eugene Tarpon, private eye, a sometime cop who has set up shop after being kicked off the force for accidentally killing a political demonstrator. Months have passed, and Tarpon desultorily tries to keep in shape while drinking all the time. No one has shown up at the door of his office in the midst of the market district of Les Halles. Then the bell rings and a beautiful woman bursts in, her hands dripping blood. It’s Memphis Charles, her roommate’s throat has been cut, and Memphis can’t go to the police because they’ll only suspect her. Can Tarpon help? Well, somehow he can’t help trying. Soon bodies mount, and the craziness only grows.

But when she and Nick get inside the supposedly empty house, they find two men in bed together, literally joined at the hip, one dead with a screwdriver sticking out of his eye.

Book excerpt: When last we saw Tony Valentine -- former cop, lifelong misanthrope, and legendary catcher of casino cheats -- he was just coming up for air after a close brush with the afterlife in his first outing, the acclaimed Grift Sense. This time around, it's personal. Tony Valentine's ex-partner Doyle Flanagan has been blown to pieces by a car bomb. Shortly before his death, Doyle had been filling Valentine in on the details of his latest, most baffling case -- an impressive $6 million blackjack scam at Atlantic City's legendary Bombay casino. Valentine determines that the only way to bring his friend's killers to justice is to crack the Bombay heist himself. But standing between Valentine and his goal is a head-spinning assortment of ruthless gangsters, crooked croupiers, eccentric millionaires, and Croatians with bad haircuts. His only ally: an irresistibly enigmatic female wrestler. With diamond-hard prose, triple-crossing plot twists, and a deliciously noir-inflected atmosphere, Funny Money finds James Swain more than living up to his promise as a razor-sharp storyteller with unlimited surprises up his sleeve.

Download or read book Funny in Parts written by John J. Eddy and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the U.S. Foreign Service, there are few days free from excitement or danger. Through the medium of his personal diaries, the author describes a parlous life with his family in distant lands, including trouble spots such as Venezuela, El Salvador, Colombia, Kenya, Grenada, Saudi Arabia, and India. The book shows how the career U.S. Foreign Service contributes to the nations well-being every day despite the miscalculations and interference of politicians. The author argues that an independent career Service must be preserved at all costs from partisan anxieties and political influence. He highlights the humanity, humor, and sacrifice of the Foreign Service and scoffs at the Hollywood version of the lazy bureaucrat sitting comfortably behind a desk all day denying visas. This book should go far toward persuading U.S. citizens that a career Foreign Service is their first line of defense abroad and that it continues to advance their interests resolutely every day without fear or favor.

Download or read book Delete Hyperianism The New Face of Cults In the Twenty First Century written by Dave Sinclair and published by Magus Books. This book was released on with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Articles by investigative journalist David G. McAfee, an expert on cults, have revealed what many people have been saying for years, that the New Age group known as "Hyperianism", with several hundred fanatical followers and two millionaire backers, is a dangerous cult. The leader of this cult calls himself "Morgue", a suitably cult-like appellation. Other names he uses are Morgen Night, the Night Bringer (89) and the Terror of Men. Hyperianism preaches a highly disturbing ideology revolving around Woke extremism, and it could easily be considered a hate group, encouraging people to say "No" to normality and to normal people. Hyperianism detests mainstream society. The leader of the cult is a gender radical preaching a message that androgyny constitutes a higher state, and he says that his cult is for people who are "higher than human", and "beyond human". He even says that he does not identify as human! His misogyny is self evident in this comment: "I can not count how many times some 'spray on tan' slut has inquired in disbelief why I dress the way I do, or do the things I do. 'It's not sexy', she informs me. Such stupidity makes me want to strangle the bitch. Why should I be concerned if other people find me attractive in any way? Should I change my identity, for a waste producing organ between the legs? ... Morbidly Yours, Morgue" This toxic leader constantly asks for financial support from people who are clearly highly vulnerable and being groomed by him. The sheer number of brainwashing techniques in evidence is astonishing. All his life, as a street performer and expert in NLP, Morgue has perfected the art of getting the weak-minded to pay him for "putting on a show". It's essential for whistleblowers to expose these sinister cults and their even more sinister leaders, who do enormous damage to susceptible individuals who are easily psychologically manipulated and exploited by those on the Dark Triad spectrum of narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. This book is all about blowing the whistle on this dangerous cult and ensuring that people are warned about what they are dealing with should they ever encounter members of this cult or its sinister leader. Judge for yourselves whether Hyperianism is harmless, or a sick, twisted cult that people must be warned about to stop more falling into its trap.

The one thing she does care about? Her hard-working twin brother. Then she interrupts his induction ceremony into a secret supernatural society, accidentally torches his life-long ambition, and steals his destiny. Wait—whaaaat? She expects to be chastised, not thrown into a trial by fire, battling demons to keep humanity safe while she’s learning to master her powers. She’s facing her worst nightmare: a purpose. To add insult to literal injury, it turns out that evil fiends are a delight compared to the all-male hunters, who shockingly, are not cool with a woman in their ranks. They assign her to their most ruthless slayer: Rohan, a man whose inner demons earn nods of respect from actual ones. He’s pursuing his own high-stakes mission, with no interest in babysitting some chick that everyone expects to die soon. But Nava excels in defying people’s expectations, and besides, spite is a powerful motivator. So, she hatches a plan to bring her brother into the fold alongside her. Sure, it involves defeating a vengeful demon out for blood, but you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few bones. The Brotherhood wants her gone. The demons want her dead.
