Download or read book Win Place and Die written by Lawrence Lariar and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s dead heat at the horse track for a thriller writer determined to solve a real-life murder case. Lawrence Lariar was one the most popular cartoonists of the twentieth century. But from the 1940s through the 1960s, he also crafted a line of lean and mean detective and mystery novels under his own name as well as the pseudonyms Michael Stark, Adam Knight, Michael Lawrence, and Marston La France. Lariar now gets his due as a leading artist in hardboiled crime fiction. Mystery author Dave West is working out the details of a new crime. This one’s personal. His uncle Jack, the best harness racer on the Long Island circuit, was shot dead after his last competition. Tabloid wags claim the lure of dirty money made him throw the race. And a chump in on a fix makes for an easy mark. It’s up to Dave to do what professional dicks can’t: clear his uncle’s name and find the killer. But that means infiltrating the moneyed world of horse-owners and ruthless gangsters. Not to mention the mercenary wives who have a secret or two all their own. Dave thinks he’s found one he can trust. At least he hopes so. Because he’s neck deep in a criminal conspiracy that’s yet to claim its last victim.

Download or read book Into the Fray written by Tom Mascaro and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2012 James W. Tankard Book Award WinnerFrom 1961 to 1989, a committed group of documentary journalists from the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) reported the stories of America s overseas conflicts. Stuart Schulberg supplied film evidence to prosecute Nazi war criminals and established documentary units in postwar Berlin and Paris. NBC newsman David Brinkley created the template for prime-time news in 1961 and bore the scars to prove it. In 1964 Ted Yates and Bob Rogers produced a documentary warning of the pitfalls in Vietnam. Yates was later shot and killed in Jerusalem on the first day of the Six-Day War while producing a documentary for NBC News.In "Into the Fray," Tom Mascaro vividly recounts the characters and experiences that helped create a unique, colorful documentary film crew based at the Washington bureau of NBC News. From the Kennedy era through the Reagan years, the journalists covered wars, rebellions, the Central Intelligence Agency, covert actions, the Pentagon, military preparedness, and world and American cultures. They braved conflicts and crises to tell the stories that Americans needed to see and hear, and in the process they changed the face of journalism. Mascaro also looks at the social changes in and around the unit itself, including the struggles and triumphs of women and African Americans in the field of television documentary."Into the Fray" is the story of adventure, loyalty to reason, and life and death in the service of broadcast journalism."

Book excerpt: Four American mystery writers have contributed new dimensions to the mystery form. Tony Hillerman's Navajos and their customs, Amanda Cross's (Carolyn Heilbrun's) academics and their feminist credentials (or lack thereof), James Lee Burke's Southern Louisiana Cajuns and his own fiercely moral take on Southern gothic fiction, and Walter Mosley's urban blacks and their culture have challenged the conventional mystery's focus. Using feminist and black critical theory, mythic and historical patterns, and literary genre theory, Samuel Coale examines these writers' works and investigates the compromises that each is forced to make when working within a recognizably popular literary form.
