Download or read book The Jimmy Quinn Mysteries written by Michael Mayo and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prohibition-era crime scene comes alive in three novels “sure to appeal to fans of Max Allan Collins’s gangster historicals” (Publishers Weekly). Novelist and film critic Michal Mayo “persuasively portrays such real-life mobsters as Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano” in this crime fiction series set in the 1930s featuring Jimmy Quinn, aka Jimmy the Stick (Publishers Weekly). Jimmy was a gunman, bootlegger, and bagman—until a bullet in the leg and the murder of gangster boss Arnold Rothstein ended his career. Now Quinn runs a speakeasy in downtown Manhattan, but he just can’t seem to stay out of trouble . . . Jimmy the Stick: In Mayo’s “gritty first novel,” Jimmy’s old friend and partner Walter Spencer has left his criminal past behind, marrying into the Pennyweight family—of Pennyweight Petroleum—and settling into a legitimate lifestyle in rural New Jersey (Publishers Weekly). But with the Lindbergh kidnapping in the news, Spence wants Quinn to protect his family while he takes care of business out of state. Unfortunately, Quinn quickly finds that the Garden State can be even more dangerous than the mean streets of New York City. Everybody Goes to Jimmy’s: When a bomb blast rocks the alley outside Quinn’s quiet little Manhattan speakeasy, his memory flashes back twelve years to when he was delivering a bribe for racketeer Arnold Rothstein and a bomb went off on Wall Street, killing thirty people. It seems like the motive behind this bombing may be the same as that previous explosion: money. Soon Quinn’s on a mad race to stay out of the line of fire, taking him from the heights of the Chrysler Building to the depths of New York’s underworld. Jimmy and Fay: In March 1933, King Kong is premiering at Radio City Music Hall, and Fay Wray is about to become a star. One problem: a blackmailer has pictures of a Fay Wray look-alike engaging in conduct that would make even the giant ape blush, and the movie studio—with the cooperation of a slightly corrupt NYPD detective—wants Jimmy Quinn to settle the matter quietly. But stopping the extortion will cut just as deeply as Fay’s famous scream, ringing from Broadway all the way to Chinatown.

Download or read book The Cases That Haunt Us written by Mark Olshaker and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-01-23 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did Lizzie Borden murder her own father and stepmother? Was Jack the Ripper actually the Duke of Clarence? Who killed JonBenet Ramsey? #1 New York Times bestselling author and legendary FBI criminal profiler John Douglas, along with author and filmmaker Mark Olshaker—the team behind the famous Mindhunter series—explore those tantalizing questions and more in this mesmerizing work of detection. Violent. Provocative. Shocking. Call them what you will…but don't call them open and shut. In The Cases That Haunt Us, Douglas and Olshaker explore the mysteries that both their legions of fans and law enforcement professionals ask about most. With uniquely gripping analysis, the authors reexamine and reinterpret the accepted facts, evidence, and victimology of the most notorious murder cases in the history of crime, including the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, The Zodiac Killer, and the Whitechapel murders. The cases touch a nerve deep within us because of the personalities involved, their senseless depravity, the nagging doubts about whether justice was done, or because, in some instances, no suspect has ever been identified or caught. Taking a fresh and penetrating look at each case, the authors reexamine and reinterpret accepted facts and victimology using modern profiling and the techniques of criminal analysis developed by Douglas within the FBI. The Cases That Haunt Us not only offers convincing and controversial conclusions, it deconstructs the evidence and widely held beliefs surrounding each case and rebuilds them—with fascinating, surprising, and haunting results.

Download or read book The Mysteries of Udolpho written by Ann Radcliffe and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2020-11-22 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The first poetess of romantic fiction.”-Sir Walter Scott ““Mrs. Radcliffe is a mistress of hints, suggestions, minute details, breathless pauses, and the hush of suspense.” —The New York Times “Compared to Udolpho, Montoni’s mountain hideaway, Castle Dracula is a country day school.” —Barbara Walker Ann Radcliff’s Mysteries of Udolpho, one of the most famous English gothic novels ever published, was a significant influence on later authors including Mary Shelley, Edgar Allen Poe, and Jane Austen. In combining the supernatural elements of the gothic genre with a deep sensitivity of emotion, this work reveals the height of Radcliffe’s powers as a writer. Living a picturesque life in rural Late-16th Century France, Emily St. Aubert, the novel’s beautiful and sensitive protagonist becomes an orphan when both of her parents die. Adopted by her unaffectionate aunt Madame Cheron, Emily is ultimately imprisoned by Cheron and her cruel husband, the Italian nobleman Signor Montoni. The natural beauty of her life as a young girl in France is contrasted with the seclusion in the eponymous castle where Montoni’s controlling manipulations spin her life into a state of unknowable terror. The hair-raising and strange events that occur within the confines of the dreadful fortress are among the most bone-chilling in all of literature. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Mysteries of Udolpho is both modern and readable.
