Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residing in the north Georgia town of Hiawassee, former detective Wade Tillman receives ominous news. A killer by the name of Mary Kate Turner has escaped from prison, vowing to exact revenge for his causing her incarceration. Accompanied by a second psychopathic woman, Turner sets out on a bloody trail from Minnesota, headed for a confrontation with her hated enemy. The sexually starved Mary Kate nearly causes her own end at the hands of her partner when her lust for the kill is overcome by her desire for physical satisfaction. A local murder adds to Tillman's problem, as does a romantic involvement with a female acquaintance. With the help of three motorcycling friends, his bulldog Maynard and the local sheriff, he sets up a defense only to discover that one of the things he was depending on was not what it seemed to be.
Download or read book Revenge of the Saguaro written by Tom Miller and published by Cinco Puntos Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tom Miller's Southwest is a vortex of cockfights and cantinas, of black velvet paintings and tacky bolo ties, of eco-militants, border-crossers, and eccentric characters whose outlook is as spare and elemental as the desert that surrounds them. This is Miller's turf. With wit and insight, he reveals how the clichés of romanticism and capitalism have run amuck in his homeland. When a saguaro cactus outside Phoenix kills its own assassin, it becomes clear that no other guide to the Southwest manifests such a clear moral vision while reveling in the joy of this magnificent land and its people. Originally published by National Geographic as Jack Ruby's Kitchen Sink, it received the Gold Award for Best Travel Book in 2000 from the Society of American Travel Writers. Tom Miller has been writing about the American Southwest and Latin America for more than three decades. His ten books include The Panama Hat Trail, which follows the making and marketing of one Panama hat, and Trading with the Enemy, which Lonely Planet says "may be the best travel book about Cuba ever written." Miller began his journalism career in the underground press of the late '60s and early '70s, and has written articles for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, Smithsonian Magazine, Natural History, and Rolling Stone. He lives in Tucson, Arizona, with his wife, Regla.

Download or read book Confederate Cavalryman vs Union Cavalryman written by Ron Field and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-20 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the intense, sprawling conflict that was the American Civil War, both Union and Confederate forces fielded substantial numbers of cavalry, which carried out the crucial tasks of reconnaissance, raiding, and conveying messages. The perception was that cavalry's effectiveness on the battlefield would be drastically reduced in this age of improved infantry firearms. This title, however, demonstrates how cavalry's lethal combination of mobility and dismounted firepower meant it was still very much a force to be reckoned with in battle, and charts the swing in the qualitative difference of the cavalry forces fielded by the two sides as the war progressed. In this book, three fierce cavalry actions of the American Civil War are assessed, including the battles of Second Bull Run/Manassas (1862), Buckland Mills (1863) and Tom's Brook (1864).
