Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Miami homicide detective closes in on a shattering secret in this police procedural from the Pulitzer Prize–winning “queen of crime” (USA Today). Nominated for the Edgar Award for Best First Novel What do a menacing housewife, a kinky bad girl, a shy child, and a cold-blooded killer have in common? Veteran Miami homicide detective Rick Barrish sets out for the answer as he investigates a series of seemingly unrelated murders in his own neighborhood and hunts down an elusive killer in a case that will hit closer to home than he ever expected. From the national bestselling author of The Corpse Had a Familiar Face and the Britt Montero series, Nobody Lives Forever is “[a] hard-hitting police procedural . . . Murders calculated and unprovoked; drug busts; robberies; the tensions between cops and criminals, rich and poor; and matters of love and hate all play out in Miami’s mean, middle-class or manicured neighborhoods . . . Buchanan conjures up a city both ordinary and exotic, and as vivid and colorful as her characters” (Publishers Weekly). “A stunning tour de force . . . Gripping drama.” —Library Journal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOBODY LIVES FOREVER Doc Ganson's career has bottomed out, but he has a plan for the perfect con-a rich widow, ripe for the plucking. All he has to do is convince the big guy, Jim Farrar, to take her on. But Farrar is growing tired of the grifter's life. And he certainly doesn't want to have anything to do with a lowlife like Doc. He misses his life back in Florida, and crazy redhead Tony. But his lawyer, Johnny Doyle, talks him into it. Then Farrar meets the mark, Mrs. Halversen, and old habits take over. He charms her in spite of himself. Meanwhile, Doc is growing impatient. He doesn't trust Farrar. And when Doc doesn't trust someone, there's hell to pay. TOMORROW'S ANOTHER DAY Everyone admires Lonnie and his carefree attitude. He seems to be born lucky, particularly at cards. He even wins Ballard's restaurant in a card game. Which is where he meets Mary. She's with the Greek, the only one of the gamblers who doesn't admire Lonnie. In fact, the Greek resents him. And when Lonnie snatches Mary away from him-and marries her, no less!-his resentment turns to plans of revenge. Lonnie used to be quite a risk-taker, but under Mary's influence, he puts all that behind him. Until the perfect scheme arrives. How could he know that behind this gamble is the Greek's vindictive retribution?

Download or read book Nothing Lasts Forever written by Robert Steiner and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These three novellas each shimmer with exactitudes of falling out of love and falling into death, as existence at critical moments renounces normal life for moments of absolute desire. These are narratives of obsession and calamity. Lovers and wives are at the edge of themselves, saying the unsayable, doing the undoable, challenging us to keep our eyes open to the disintegration and pain. At the core of each tale is an erotic intensity. The prose is urgent. The stories are unforgettable. Into the Green Ocean Deep sees a man's last days with a dying lover as they engage in a final burst of transgressive eroticism. Negative Space recites the anguished thoughts of a man whose wife of twenty years has confessed her love for someone else as she packs to leave. In Inviolate, a wife suffers the imminent death of her husband from a fall that has left him comatose. "Once coma defined the limit of her husband's existence for the rest of it he was as well as he would ever be and so his wife at the foot of the bed observed that this was as good as he was going to look."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Step into a world where the echoes of the past clash with the uncertain future in “The Chains of Orion,” the third volume in Gordon Bonnet’s trilogy, “Arc of the Oracles.” Thurial Keene, the revered Patriarch of Klen, holds the weight of history on his shoulders as the last living Oracle, a lineage stretching back fifteen centuries to the cataclysmic fall of Seattle, a city lost when when revolution, plague, and famine took down modern civilization. During his long life he’s seen technology finally reborn and science rekindled, and watched his own role devolve into mere figurehead, while fervent Zealots strive to resurrect archaic traditions through any means necessary — including violence. As the tension between progress and superstition escalates, astronaut Kallman Dorn emerges, determined to undertake an ambitious and dangerous mission to explore and map the uncharted far-Earth side of the Moon. Standing in Dorn's path is Dain Sarkos, leader of the Zealots, driven by his goal to quash rational science and revert to the dogmas of old. Caught in this clash of ideologies is the Patriarch himself, when a young archaeologist discovers a document written by Julia Lowell, one of the revered first Oracles of the Before Time. Her words, cautioning against the kind of narrow-minded zealotry that Sarkos represents, might hold the key to averting disaster. But can even the wisdom of the Blessed Julia herself dissuade the zealots from their destructive course? Or will humanity once more fall prey to its own self-destructive impulses and repeat its harrowing descent into chaos?
