Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stella “Granny” Reid’s youth wasn’t the only thing changed by time in tiny, nondescript McGill, Georgia. Except even back in the 1980s, the Southern town still had a way of attracting downright dubious characters—some with a talent for murder. As quirky as McGill’s residents can be, they usually welcome society’s oddballs and outcasts into the community with open arms. But the three members of the Lone White Wolf Pack are a different story. Townsfolk aren’t feeling the least bit neighborly toward the gang widely believed to have orchestrated several hate crimes in the area. When the group’s leader Billy Ray Sonner is found dead in an abandoned motel, most assume it was the result of an accidental overdose. An unfortunate yet predictable end for a man who lived the way Billy did. Only Stella and the sheriff have witnessed the crime scene in person, and suspect something more disturbing happened in that ramshackle room . . . While Stella wades through a flood of potential culprits, one thing becomes clear—this wasn’t an impulsive act of revenge. There’s a sophisticated killer on the loose, and Stella must expose deep-rooted fears and dark pasts if she wants to crack a carefully planned murder and stop McGill from descending into chaos.

Download or read book The Motel Murder written by Emerson Littlefield and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Motel Murder" is a murder mystery set in the imaginary small town of Seminole Pines, North Florida, a rural farming community surrounded by cornfields, tobacco plantations, and tens of thousands of acres of Southern pines and palmettos. Deputy sheriff Denise "Midge" Sumpter, a young African-American sleuth who has a keen eye for detail and a knack for stitching together the details of a crime, tries to solve a murder that occurred in her grandmother's motel. The victim was both clubbed on the head, strangled, and stabbed. But no murder weapon can be found, and the only man seen earlier at the scene of the crime swears he didn't do it. Among other confusing clues are an unfired snub-nose revolver left in the motel room, a motel safe full of crystal methamphetamine, a torn piece of motel stationery with three mysterious numbers written on it, a bloody footprint belonging to an unidentified man, and a missing girl who checked into the motel with the victim but seems to have vanished into thin air. Among other characters Midge meets or works with are her partner Jake, who is gay, the sheriff of Wassahatchka County, a six-foot seven inch giant she calls Pee-Wee, a barbecue cook who cuts his meat with a machete and keeps a Confederate flag pinned to the wall of his restaurant, a meth-producer who has his works, and a still, out in the woods, and a local addict who proves to be far more articulate and helpful than one would think. A host of other characters you will not easily forget populate the novel. Midge, who loves Cajun food and fast cars, makes do with a ten-year-old Crown Victoria patrol car cast off from the Florida Highway Patrol, while her partner Jake, who usually mans a speed trap and has been in the department several years longer than Midge, drives a brand new Dodge Challenger Hellcat-the department's newest piece of "technology." The Hellcat, which Midge drools over, becomes the nearest mechanical thing to a character in the story, and by the end of the tale, it proves its worth. Adding to the charm of the novel, Midge, who grew up in Seminole Pines and speaks in the local dialect, tells the story in first person. The dialect is very easy to read, but it's authentic spoken English as you would hear it were you to visit Northern Florida. At times, the language gets a little salty, but Midge tells the tale accurately and honestly in the real language of the place. Coming soon is the second novel in the Midge Sumpter series, "The Indian Mound Murder." A professor of anthropology at a nearby university who is an expert in Florida's Paleo-Indians, is found dead in an exploratory trench dug into a local mound that is perhaps twelve to thirteen thousand years old-dating to the earliest era of human habitation. Only, the dead professor was supposed to be at another dig site 250 miles south, and no one can account for how he got where he has been found. None of the people working at the mound, neither the site manager, another local paleontologist, nor any of the four graduate students working with her, know how he got there-or who killed him. The site has some curious features, including cigarette butts stuck filter-end-first into the mound, empty beer cans strewn around, and local legends about spirits that inhabit the place. Once again, Midge, her partner Jake, and Sheriff Pee-Wee Marion, have their hands full trying to figure out who killed the victim. This time, the characters include an ex-Army Ranger Captain who is a woman, two ex-Army Special Ops personnel, a local hermit who lives in a shack entirely made out of abandoned or recycled lumber, a local hardware store clerk who was a schoolmate of Denise, and the dead professor's lover, another anthropologist who was supposed to be with the dead man the night he died. Midge's Crown Vic is back, as is Jake's Challenger Hellcat, and Pee-Wee's Chevy Suburban.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE The #1 New York Times bestselling worldwide sensation with more than 15 million copies sold, “a painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature” (The New York Times Book Review). For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life—until the unthinkable happens. Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Delia Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.

Book excerpt: This haunting true crime tale brings to life the infamous 1953 kidnapping and murder of Bobby Greenlease. The son of a wealthy Kansas City automobile dealer, Bobby was just six years old when a pair of grifters, Carl Austin Hall and Bonnie Heady, snatched him away-and set what was then the country's highest ransom ever paid. Six hundred thousand dollars later, Bobby was killed anyway, setting off a chain of events that would culminate in notorious mobster Joe Costello stealing half the ransom and Hall and Heady's eventual double execution. Told by acclaimed journalist John Heidenry in bone-chilling detail, and featuring a cast of characters ranging from underground crime bosses and hard-boiled detectives to the victim's family and the murderers themselves, this is the story of one of the most complex and least understood crimes in American history.

Download or read book Death of a King written by Tavis Smiley and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing and dramatic chronicle of the twelve months leading up to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination. Martin Luther King, Jr. died in one of the most shocking assassinations the world has known, but little is remembered about the life he led in his final year. New York Times bestselling author and award-winning broadcaster Tavis Smiley recounts the final 365 days of King's life, revealing the minister's trials and tribulations -- denunciations by the press, rejection from the president, dismissal by the country's black middle class and militants, assaults on his character, ideology, and political tactics, to name a few -- all of which he had to rise above in order to lead and address the racism, poverty, and militarism that threatened to destroy our democracy. Smiley's Death of a King paints a portrait of a leader and visionary in a narrative different from all that have come before. Here is an exceptional glimpse into King's life -- one that adds both nuance and gravitas to his legacy as an American hero.

Fields's early years: how, around 1895, he really got started juggling; how met his future wife Hattie; and how he felt about his incessant tours, triumphs, and film career.
