Back in print by popular demand, this spectacular debut, from a writer of “infernal ingenuity” (The New York Times Book Review), includes a new Introduction by bestselling author Michael Connelly. Murder has always been easy for the Butcher’s Boy—it’s what he was raised to do. But when he kills the senior senator from Colorado and arrives in Las Vegas to pick up his fee, he learns that he has become a liability to his shadowy employers. His actions attract the attention of police specialists who watch the world of organized crime, but though everyone knows that something big is going on, only Elizabeth Waring, a bright young analyst in the Justice Department, works her way closer to the truth, and to the frightening man behind it. Praise for The Butcher’s Boy “A stunning debut . . . a brilliantly plotted thriller.”—The Washington Post “A shrewdly planned and executed thriller.”—The New York Times Book Review “Thomas Perry has hit the mark.”—Houston Chronicle “Totally enthralling.”—The New Yorker

Book excerpt: “Alice Adams writes with beautiful economy, an infallible sense of the telling detail—she can reveal more in a few sentences than most writers do in a bulgingly over-fed chapter.” --San Francisco Chronicle Once again, Alice Adams demonstrates her mastery of the family maze, her astonishing perception of the delicate and complex threads that bind us to one another. Caroline Carter, “almost rich and almost old,” has five daughters from three marriages. As she assesses exactly what it means to be a mother to adult daughters, we follow them over the course of a year, in relation to their husbands and lovers. We see their deceptions, pleasures, triumphs, and setbacks. And we watch Caroline, as her own life changes irrevocably.

Book excerpt: When writer Roger Culberson consents to tour Sicily and create a travel guide for a tour company, he believes it is his last opportunity to recover his life. With the tragic death of his wife, he is lost in guilt and remorse. In the ancient mountain village of Amida, Sicily, he encounters Angelina Molintorie, a teacher half his age. A fire is lit that engulfs them but the moment is fleeting since Roger must move on. Fatefully they meet again. He learns she is the daughter of a once powerful Aristocrat and is engaged, through a traditional wedding contract, to Gino Aiellio, the son of the local Mafia leader. In defiance of tradition, her family and Ginos objection, Angelina agrees to assist Roger by doing research on the sites to be included in Rogers travel guide. With that decision the harmonious existence of the village is interrupted, and Ginos ambition to follow in his fathers footsteps and his marriage to Angelina is threatened. As the relationship develops, their families attempt to dissuade them and Ginos jealousy turns into vengeance to recover his honor. At the same time Gino begins a plan to obtain control of his fathers Mafia Family, and to also fight the Mafia Commission in Palermo. Rogers intrusion into their lives results in betrayal, violence and murder. Gino threatens Angelina with Rogers death if she does not honor their marriage arrangement. Fearful for Rogers life Angelina ends the relationship without any explanation to Roger and a wedding date is set to marry Gino. Roger, back in America, recovers his career. And though time passes, he doesnt give up hope of hearing from Angelina. His patience is rewarded. In a daring undertaking he attempts to rescue Angelina from the Mafias grasp and, in so doing, initiates the final confrontation with Gino.

Download or read book Destiny written by Tim Parks and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Burton, the protagonist of this masterful novel, is one of Britain’s foremost foreign correspondents, the acknowledged world expert on Italian affairs. Three months after returning to London with his Italian wife for an extended stay, Burton receives a phone call at the reception desk of his hotel informing him that his teenage son has committed suicide. Why, upon receiving this terrible news, does he immediately conclude that his marriage of almost thirty years is over? And why is grief so slow in coming? Burton feels his pious, mercurial wife may have given him his life in Italy—even his prestigious career—but she has also made it impossible. Was their troubled son somehow the victim of their long, explosive love-hate relationship? Looking back, Burton sees in his life a web of contradictions, unanswered questions, and confusions. And yet, it has been his destiny. Intensely dramatic, dark, and yet often hilariously funny, Destiny is a seamless, beautifully plotted story and a profound meditation on marriage and identity. Parks offers us a searing account of what it means to tread the narrow line between sanity and psychosis.

I've known Dave for over 30 years, and have appreciated his heart for evangelism, for service, and his diligence in pursuing a call that would leave a legacy. He's been intentional and looked at ministry through the lens of multiplying the Message. From evangelistic meetings, to mentoring, to pursuing advanced studies and now through a passion that Asian theologians and leaders would write and influence their church and the next generations, Dave has passionately pursued the call. He and Debbie are pursuing a life that is invested in Kingdom purposes. As in most stories, you may find links to your own life. I think you will be encouraged to see how God worked in the life of one man, walking with him through times of joy and times of struggle. From this story, we can reaffirm how God will work in each of our lives. Dave has provided detail, not glossed over times of searching, and in that has provided an encouraging word that affirms our God who does all things well." Rev. William Snider Former Area Director, Southeast Asia, Assemblies of God (USA) World Missions From the Foreword "Let me make something clear from the beginning. Writing my memoirs does not mean that we are retiring. Far from it. We intend to be in missions for as long as God wants us here. This book is about leaving a legacy, hopefully a good one, and doing what we can to get it into the hands of those for whom it is intended." Dave Johnson Adapted from the Introduction

Download or read book A Lie Will Suffice written by Jay Wilkinson and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1893 Western Sicily, Gaetano DiGiovanni, twenty-five years old, foresees a day when he abandons his turbulent, hard-scrabble life in the Palermo Province hinterlands for the promise of America. His fourteen-and-a-half-year-old wife, Angelina Bucaro DiGiovanni, is at his side. Gaetano becomes an old-style Mafiosi "man of respect," called Don Tano Baiocco in Sicily and New Orleans. For the next half century, "Tano Baiocco" guides his burgeoning family through Atlantic Ocean crossings, murder, extortion, vendetta, bootlegging, hostage-taking Fascists cracking down on Sicilian Mafiosi, labor influence on the New Orleans banana docks, two criminal trials, a secret interment in the family burial vault, the Great Depression and World War II. Employing a culture-based nineteenth-century Sicilian mindset, including omerta and deception, Gaetano "Baiocco" DiGiovanni, his wife, children, and son-in-law, Natale Guinta, largely conceal the dark aspects of the family history from their offspring and following generations, who by the early twenty-first century have established themselves as pillars of their American communities. Then one day in 2009, one of Gaetano's many upright American granddaughters, distraught over her discovery of the truth about the 1921 Mafia assassination of Gaetano's oldest son, her Uncle Domenico, presents a few old newspaper articles to her own stunned son, the author of this book. She obliquely challenges him to dig out the whole truth of the family history. "One day, you're gonna write a book about my family," she says, "and it won't be so pretty. Why all the secrets? Why all the lies?" A Lie Will Suffice is the result of twelve years of research, cited in detailed endnotes and an extensive bibliography, that attempts to answer a mother's questions, to unravel and explain the sometimes difficult-to-discern, complex, but ultimately triumphant DiGiovanni-Guinta family history. It ends with the opaque revelation to the author by his Godfather, ten months before his Godfather's death, of the most closely held family secret.
