Download or read book Hancock Park written by Katherine V. Forrest and published by Spinsters Ink. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Detective Kate Delafield and her partner, Detective Joe Cameron, get the call to investigate a homicide in the secluded, old-money neighborhood of Hancock Park, Kate has the feeling it’s not going to be murder as usual. Her hunch is correct. A cultured, refined mother of three, Victoria Talbot is the last person you’d expect to die by gunshot, execution-style. At first the finger of guilt seems to point at the victim’s ex-husband Douglas, and everyone involved—from the authorities to his own children—are more than willing to suspect him. But for Kate, the easy way has rarely been proven the right way, and there are too many unanswered questions that suggest not all is at it seems with this dysfunctional family. Now, Douglas Talbot is on trial for his life, Kate’s lover Aimee has disappeared to God-knows-where, and Kate must piece together a deadly puzzle of secrets and lies…

Download or read book Murder by Tradition written by Katherine V. Forrest and published by Spinsters Ink. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young Teddie Crawford is dead from multiple stab wounds in a restaurant kitchen awash with blood. LAPD homicide detective Kate Delafield is relentless in her pursuit and capture of his killer. But bringing that killer to trial imperils Kate’s professional standing and personal privacy—and her belief in the justice system to which she has devoted her life. The suspect claims self-defense—that Teddie Crawford made a homosexual advance and backed it up with a knife. Yet everything Kate learns about Teddie Crawford tells her that his murder was deliberate. And to develop proof of first degree murder, she must find clear answers to mystifying questions for the prosecuting attorney—a woman who has never before prosecuted a homicide case. Kate is increasingly isolated as she tries to shield her young lover from the brutal realities of this case and finds few allies among her LAPD brethren. Even her partner, Ed Taylor, is loathe to aggressively pursue a case involving a dead gay man and his gay associates. As the trial date looms, she discovers she has a personal stake: the defense attorney is a man from her past. A man with the power to expose the private life she has kept rigidly separate from her life as a police officer. Murder by Tradition reaches new heights in the powerful storytelling readers have come to expect from Katherine V. Forrest. Lambda Literary Award Winner.

Download or read book The White Tecumseh written by Stanley P. Hirshson and published by . This book was released on 1997-04-09 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A refreshing new look at one of the Civil War2s most compelling and controversial figures Best remembered as the man who burned Atlanta, and marched his army to the sea, cutting a swath of destruction through Georgia, William Tecumseh Sherman remains one of the most vital figures in Civil War annals. This beautifully crafted new biography offers a fresh perspective on this pivotal personality. It is the first Sherman biography to draw on regimental histories, giving us a fascinating view of how Sherman2s own men regarded him and how they rated him as a general. More sympathetic than other biographers, Hirshson presents Sherman as a brilliant but tormented soul, haunted by the mental instability that plagued his mother2s family. The White Tecumseh also focuses more closely on Sherman2s battles and marches than previous accounts, demonstrating that his lackluster performance on the battlefield was more than compensated for by the effectiveness of his march campaigns. Illustrations include previously unseen photos from the West Point Archives STANLEY P. HIRSHSON (Closter, New Jersey) is a professor of history at Queens College of the City University of New York. He is also the author of Farewell to the Bloody Shirt: Northern Republicans and the Southern Negro, 1877-1983. Reconsidering one of the Civil War2s most compelling and controversial figures. "As psychologically penetrating as it is painstakingly researched . . . sure to become a controversial book on one of America2s great generals."-Publishers Weekly (starred review). "Sympathetic yet excellent . . . insight into how Sherman2s own troops felt about him and his relationships with fellow generals, especially Grant. . . . Highly recommended."-Library Journal. Best remembered as the man who burned Atlanta and marched his army to the sea, cutting a swath of destruction through Georgia, William Tecumseh Sherman is treated to a beautifully crafted study from acclaimed historian Stanley Hirshson. The first to draw on regimental histories, this book presents Sherman as a brilliant but tormented soul, haunted by the mental instability that plagued his mother2s family. Among the illustrations are previously unseen photos from the West Point Archives. Stanley P. Hirshson (New York, NY) is professor of history at Queens College and City University of New York, and author of Farewell to the Bloody Shirt: Northern Republicans and the Southern Negro, 1877-1893.
