Book excerpt: Police Constable Ernie Shavers is murdered while trying to save the life of a suicidal teenager and everyone wants a piece of the killer. Some are happy to play it by the book, others don’t give a damn whether the rules are smashed to pieces. Whether they’re playing straight or crooked, they may not have long before the killer strikes again. Unfortunately it’s a big city and the current crime wave has thrown them a couple of curve balls to pile on the pressure. At the zoo, a rhino is killed for its horn. With no evidence trail and a broken heart, DS Sue Nolan turns to an old flame, a man who always has his ear to the ground. Gangland boss Johnny Yen is only too happy to help, but only if he can get a little something in return. In the centre of town, the biggest store in the city is robbed by a mannequin. It’s the perfect inside job and the owners of the store know exactly which officer they want on the case, only the officer doesn’t feel quite the same way. If that wasn’t bad enough, record snowfall has created chaos within the police department. It’s going to be one hell of a Christmas.

Download or read book Sleigh Rides Jingle Bells and Silent Nights written by Ronald D. Lankford and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Bing Crosby’s "White Christmas" debuted in 1942, no one imagined that a holiday song would top the charts year after year. One of the best-selling singles ever released, it remains on rotation at tree lighting ceremonies across the country, in crowded shopping malls on Black Friday, and at warm diners on lonely Christmas Eve nights. Over the years, other favorites have been added to America’s annual playlist, including Elvis Presley’s "Blue Christmas," the King Cole Trio’s "The Christmas Song," Gene Autry’s "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," Willie Nelson’s "Pretty Paper," and, of course, Elmo & Patsy’s "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer." Viewing American holiday values through the filter of familiar Christmas songs, Ronald Lankford examines popular culture, consumerism, and the dynamics of the traditional American family. He surveys more than seventy-five years of songs and reveals that the “modern American Christmas” has carried a complex and sometimes contradictory set of meanings. Interpreting tunes against the backdrop of the eras in which they were first released, he identifies the repeated themes of nostalgia, commerce, holiday blues, carnival, and travesty that underscore so much beloved music. This first full-length analysis of the lyrics, images, and commercial forces inextricably linked to Yuletide music hits the heart of what many Americans think Christmas is--or should be.

Download or read book David Golder The Ball Snow in Autumn The Courilof Affair written by Irene Nemirovsky and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers everywhere were introduced to the work of Irène Némirovsky through the publication of her long-lost masterpiece, Suite Française. But Suite Française was only the coda to the brief yet remarkably prolific career of this nearly forgotten, magnificent novelist. Here in one volume are four of Némirovsky’s other novels–all of them newly translated by the award-winning Sandra Smith, and all, except DAVID GOLDER, available in English for the first time. DAVID GOLDER is the novel that established Néirovsky’s reputation in France in 1929 when she was twenty-six. It is a novel about greed and lonliness, the story of a self-made business man, once wealthy, now suffering a breakdown as he nears the lonely end of his life. THE COURILOF AFFAIR tells the story of a Russian revolutionary living out his last days–and his recollections of his first infamous assassination. Also included are two short, gemlike novels: THE BALL, a pointed exploration of adolescence and the obsession with status among the bourgeoisie; and SNOW IN AUTUMN, an evocative tale of White Russian émigrés in Paris after the Russian Revolution. Introduced by celebrated novelist Claire Messud, this collection of four spellbinding novels offers the same storytelling mastery, powerful clarity of language, and empathic grasp of human behavior that would give shape to Suite Française.

Download or read book The Legend of Snow and Little Rose written by D.C. Townsend and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-09-14 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a legend of a time long ago, retold many times to many generations. It is of love and adventure and of good versus evil. Growing up, Snow was a shy boy, and Little Rose was a skinny, pesky girl. They lived in a village next to a river that flowed through the beautiful, peaceful valley that was their world. Their valley had all that their people needed and wanted: fish to catch in the river, game in the woods to hunt, and berries, roots, grain, and herbs to be gathered. All in their village worked together, making life good. Their peace and harmony are shattered. Challenges are forced on Snow, Little Rose, and their people. Courageous deeds define a hero. Legends are created by people that are much more than heroes. Legends are created by those that inspire their people with great virtues. Snow and Little Rose are thrust into many situations not of their making or desires. With a good heart, determination, and a lot of good luck, they become much more than they thought they could be. The great spirits created men and women to bond together to become more than the sum of them as individuals.
