Download or read book Rizzo s War written by Lou Manfredo and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2009-09-23 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rizzo's War, Lou Manfredo's stunningly authentic debut, partners a rookie detective with a seasoned veteran on his way to retirement in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. "There's no wrong, there's no right, there just is." This is the refrain of Joe Rizzo, a decades-long veteran of the NYPD, as he passes on the knowledge of his years of experience to his ambitious new partner, Mike McQueen, over a year of riding together as detectives in the Sixty-second Precinct in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. McQueen is fresh from the beat in Manhattan, and Bensonhurst might as well be China for how different it is. They work on several cases, some big, some small, but the lesson is always the same. Whether it's a simple robbery or an attempted assault, Rizzo's saying always seems to bear out. When the two detectives are given the delicate task of finding and returning the runaway daughter of a city councilman, who may or may not be more interested in something his daughter has taken with her than in her safety, the situation is much more complex. By the end of Rizzo and McQueen's year together, however, McQueen is not surprised to discover that even in those more complicated cases, Rizzo is still right—there's no wrong, there's no right, there just is. Rizzo's War is an introduction to a wonderful new voice in crime fiction in the Big Apple, ringing with authenticity, full of personality, and taut with the suspense of real, everyday life in the big city.

Download or read book Pan Michael written by Henryk Sienkiewicz and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-06-27 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third and final book of Henryk Sienkiewicz’s Trilogy takes a closer and more intimate look at one of the series’ protagonists: Pan Michael Volodyovski. The Polish Commonwealth has been through intense periods of war, and the peace that follows leaves one of its greatest heroes, Pan Michael, finally free to marry his beloved Panna Anusia. But in a twist of fate, she falls ill and dies, leaving Michael despairing of life—to the point of him joining a monastery. His friends, shocked at the loss of the great knight which has now left the Commonwealth unprotected, hatch a plan to bring him back to his true calling. As with many of the characters in the Trilogy, Michael is fictional but based heavily on historical record: his character’s exploits and circumstances owe a lot to the real Polish knight Jerzy Wołodyjowski, who was also in Jan Sobieski’s cavalry. Pan Michael was, like the other books in the Trilogy, initially serialized in Sienkiewicz’s newspaper Słowo, before being collected into a novel five years later in 1893. The book, and the Trilogy as a whole, was very well received, and allowed Sienkiewicz to resign his editorial post to focus on his novels. The novel was the first of the Trilogy to be filmed (as 1969’s Colonel Wolodyjowski), and it was also later converted into a successful television series in Poland. This edition is based on the 1893 translation by Jeremiah Curtin.

This action by drunk drivers resulted in an explosion. It was time to set right some of the wrongs caused by a legal system that just doesn't work anymore.

Download or read book The Art of Overcoming written by Tim Timberlake and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2023-05-16 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is full of everyday setbacks. In The Art of Overcoming, you will learn how to process these moments and triumphantly move beyond them. The Art of Overcoming explores how we deal with loss, grief, and hurt, and challenges readers to keep what looks like endings from discouraging or derailing us. The pain we experience is real—but there's a difference between acknowledging it and giving into it. Rather than seeking a fake hope that pretends loss doesn't exist or doesn't matter, author and pastor Tim Timberlake encourages us to pursue hope rooted in God and gives this reminder: don't quit! The process of overcoming is not about understanding everything or living without pain, but about finding healthy ways to process the scary, strange, and sometimes devastating circumstances we face. The Art of Overcoming is divided into four parts, using the imagery of a traditional funeral ceremony as a framework to process the "death experiences" we face regularly in this crazy journey called life: A Matter of Life and Death explores five foundational perspectives about grief and loss The Processional encourages us to face head-on the reality of our experiences The Eulogy helps us memorialize and honor what has been lost and how to process grief in a healthy way The Recessional is about closure as we discover life after death and move forward No matter what you've gone through or are in the middle of right now, better days are ahead. Let God heal your heart in His timing, take time to grieve what needs to be grieved, and then celebrate the new life God lays out before you.

Download or read book Inside Lamp Confidential written by C. Lamp and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who hasn't questioned, "Who were my great-grandparents?" "Where did they live?" "What did they do?" My daughters asked these questions and more. At their requests I began to write a family history, including successes and failures. No pirates were found lurking, but I located two murders. Families do not live in a vacuum. I included in-laws, friends, neighbors and strangers who touched our lives. As stories and traditions molded the family, so did the times in which we lived. The story of our family is part of the history of our town, state and nation. This saga is a microcosm of the nation, rising out of Depression, wining a global war, in a unity of spirit, soaring to the happy heights of togetherness. A zenith, alas, that this nation probably will never achieve again. Inescapably, this book is also the story of my life.
