Book excerpt: "Seventeen years ago, three young women were killed, their bodies dumped in the wasteland of the L.A. River. The killer was never found, and the case was mysteriously closed. Now, all these years later, as memories from her past threaten her present, Detective Alex Delillo reopens the River Killer case." "After a chaotic year, homicide detective Alex Delillo's life if finally back to normal - her daughter is in college and she is experiencing the first pangs of an empty nest - until she receives a phone call about a death outside her Pasadena jurisdiction. The body of an unidentified man is found next to the river near Griffith Park with a single gunshot wound to the head - apparent suicide - and Alex was the last person he tried to contact before he died. When she goes to identify him, Alex comes face to face with the spitting image of her father." "Now, a half brother she never knew she had is dead under more than mysterious circumstances. LAPD thinks it's an open-and-shut case; Alex isn't so sure. When she reconstructs her brother's final hours, she discovers he had investigated on an old LAPD serial killer case from the '70s - the River Killings. He may have come across something buried deep within the case files, something that could have gotten him killed." "As Alex gets closer to the truth of her brother's murder, her father's past comes into alarming focus, and disturbing flashbacks from her childhood start to plague her. A journeyman actor who disappeared when she was child, her father had a history of violence against women, but was he capable of murder? And is he the one in the shadows, stalking Alex's every move and leaving a body count? In a chilling turn, Alex finds that the truth is as murky and as empty as the L.A. River itself."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: Showcasing one of the nation's finest collections of American art, this remarkable two-volume set features 267 exceptional paintings reproduced in full color and illuminated with never-before-published research findings.

Scenes and portraits by artists including John Steuart Curry, Robert Henri, Peter Hurd, Maurice Prendergast, and John Sloan provide honest, enduring assessments of early 20th-century American life. A stunning sample of early Modernism is seen in important canvasses by Albert Bloch, Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, and Marsen Hartley, to name a few. Volume 1 includes 140 extended essays on the most important canvases in the collection, which are represented in full-page color reproductions. Volume 2 reproduces in color all the works in the collection and is accompanied by thorough technical notes based on recent object examination, complete provenance, listings of directly related works, and exhaustive exhibition and publication histories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mobil Travel Guide star ratings are a 45-year-old consumer advocacy concept originally developed following the introduction of the interstate highway system. The goal of the Guide is not to identify and rate every property in the country, but to recommend only the best in each category, ones that we would send our customers to. We look at the stars from a consumer's point of view, rating lodgings and restaurants across North America from the perspective of the average traveler.The Guides feature new enhanced descriptions for 2004. Listings include lodgings, restaurants, attractions, and events in established travel destinations, as well as cities and towns on the way to established travel destinations. Our new easy-to-use format makes the Guides even more indispensable to travelers. Each regional guide is organized alphabetically by state, with introductory information about the state followed by city listings in alphabetical order. For each city, the guide lists sites and attractions, lodgings, and then restaurants. One of the features that sets the Mobil Travel Guide apart from its competitors is its proprietary Mobil star rating system. Forty-five plus years of publishing experience and the oldest non-biased rating system in North America make the Mobil Travel Guide series a must-have for travelers wanting up-to-date ratings of hotels and restaurants.
