Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A puzzling note from a troubled woman draws an American expat author into the lawless precincts of Victorian London in this historical mystery. London, 1901. Denton, the notorious American writer, has returned to his adoptive home after several months in one of the less-delightful corners of the Continent. He’s greeted by the usual letters from fans craving more tales of adventure—and one peculiar note: “I believe that someone threatens to harm me, and I do not know quite what to do.” Though it is signed “Mary Thomason,” it was sent by someone else. And it is more than two months old. Much as he’d like to deny it, Denton is a Victorian gentlemen to the marrow. And he cannot deny a damsel in distress. His search for the mysterious Miss Thomason will take him deep into London’s “bohemian” quarters—as well as the darker corners of his own soul. “Other authors have set mysteries in the same period and place, but Cameron stands out by virtue of his fine plotting and distinctive characters.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: "Part historical fiction, part psychological thriller, Cameron's work is all page-turner."—Library Journal, STARRED Review Sherlock has nothing on this woman — in 1890s New York, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's wife hunts down a serial killer... New York, January 1896. Arthur Conan Doyle, the renowned created of Sherlock Holmes, arrives with his wife Louisa at the Britannic Hotel in New York for his first American tour. While Arthur prepares his lectures, Louisa becomes entranced by the vibrant, dangerous metropolis brimming with debauchery and iniquity around every corner. When a woman's mutilated corpse turns up in a Bowery alley, Louisa recognizes the victim as someone she's seen in the hotel. Obsessed with the woman's gruesome death, Louisa starts piecing together clues to reveal a story of murder and depravity—a story that leads back to the hotel itself and a madman who is watching her every move.

This book was released on 2008-04-29 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive program that targets all four of the 4-A epidemics: autism, ADHD, asthma, and allergies “An easy-to-read commonsense guide to beneficial biomedical treatments.”—Temple Grandin Doctors have generally overlooked the connections among the 4-A disorders. For years the medical establishment has considered autism medically untreatable and utterly incurable, and has limited ADHD treatment mainly to symptom suppression. Dr. Kenneth Bock, a leading medical innovator, along with his colleagues, have discovered a solution that goes to the root of the problem. They have found that modern toxins, nutritional deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, genetic vulnerabilities, and assaults on the immune and gastrointestinal systems trigger most of the symptoms of the 4-A disorders, resulting in frequent misdiagnosis and untold mysteries. Dr. Bock’s remarkable Healing Program is an innovative biomedical approach that has changed the lives of more than a thousand children. Drawn from medical research and based on years of clinical success, this program offers a safe, sensible solution that is individualized to each child to help remedy the root causes. Dr. Bock also shares the dramatic true stories of parents and children that will inspire you to change the life of your own child. Hope is at last within reach.

Download or read book America on Film written by Kenneth M. Cameron and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1997 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenge of making the great American historical film has attracted some of our finest talents: D. W. Griffith, John Ford, Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone, Spike Lee. From the earliest flickering images of The Spirit of 76 (1905) through Nixon, America on Film subtly and entertainingly examines Hollywood's filming of American history, including biographies. Among the many films considered, some omissions seem surprising: The Birth of a Nation and Gone with the Wind, for example, since they are based on fiction. But The Iron Horse, The Beginning or the End?, the Jackie Robinson Story, Patton, Quiz Show, Lenny, Malcolm, X, Apollo 13, and literally hundreds of others are all here. Through these many movies, we see the interrelationships between image and substance, illusion and reality, racism and democracy, and cynicism and idealism, which form America's unique national identity.

Denton, the American Civil War veteran turned expat author, knows better than to go around doing people favors. But love will make chumps of us all, and for love of Janet Striker, Denton is making inquiries on behalf of the extremely tedious Mrs Snokes. Her husband, she declares, is innocent of the hideous charges made against him. The newspapers, however, think differently: They have dubbed him the “Barnsbury Butcher.” Then, for the love of an old friend, Denton has taken on a chore for the man’s brattish son, entangled in a shameful liaison with a woman of beauty, spirit, and the ability to wreck his tidy little upper-class future. As Denton juggles these two increasingly precarious cases, he’ll hardly have time to write that new novella—though not for want of material.

Download or read book The Past Master written by Kenneth Cameron and published by FelonyandMayhem+ORM. This book was released on 2022-04-25 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expatriate U.S. Civil War veteran and sheriff turned novelist living in Edwardian London follows a deadly trail in search of a missing box. It’s true that Denton and Henry James are both American writers now living in London, but they have little else in common: James has the gravitas (and perhaps the pomposity) of a living legend, master of the literary kingdom, while Denton . . . well, he’s scruffy and often covered in dog hair. But he does have this knack for sorting out problems, and James has just such a problem. There was a box, you see, and now it’s gone missing, and in the box were certain letters that, if made public, could be most embarrassing. Most embarrassing indeed. Praise for the Denton Mysteries “Cameron . . . paints a striking portrait of London, and Denton is a hero whose unheroic side only makes his character more appealing.” —Kirkus Reviews on The Frightened Man “This is no dry, stuffy, repressed Edwardian depiction of events. There are beautiful, concise and accurate descriptions, comedy scenes and credible characters in this novel, which skillfully combines mystery and history. ”—Historical Novel Society on The Second Woman
