Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a beloved master of crime fiction, A Tan and Sandy Silence is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat. Travis McGee is unnerved when he receives an unexpected guest—real estate developer Harry Broll, who is convinced that McGee is hiding his missing wife. Angry and jealous, Harry gets off a shot before McGee can wrestle his gun away. The thing is, McGee hasn’t seen or heard from Mary Broll in three years, and it isn’t like her to keep troubles to herself—if she’s alive to tell them. “As a young writer, all I ever wanted was to touch readers as powerfully as John D. MacDonald touched me.”—Dean Koontz McGee is a heartbeat away from crisis. He’s getting older, Lady Jillian Brent-Archer is trying to make him settle down, and he’s just been shot without fair warning. Nervous that he’s losing his touch, McGee decides to get Harry off his case and prove he’s still in top form all in one fell swoop. McGee’s search for Mary takes him to Grenada, where he’s soon tangling with con artists and terrifying French killers, not to mention a slew of mixed motives. No longer wallowing in self-pity, McGee has more pressing concerns—like saving his own skin. Features a new Introduction by Lee Child

The caretaker investigates only to be terrified by childish laughter from the woods that bordered the cemetery. In his terror, ran for his life ending up in the custody of the local police station.The case fell upon the lap of Senior Inspector Manny Panganiban who was puzzled by the case and suspected that the man in custody may both be the witness and the culprit. The only thing that troubled him, was the absence of blood. Thus, ordered PO1 Eunice Salve to research the same MO or anything that can shed light upon the unique nature of the case. She came upon an article by a certain Dr. Javier that she assumed can help in the investigation. A meeting with Javier revealed certain aspects about the community that was not common knowledge. About similar mutilations in the past, all unsolved and about a house that everyone seems to have forgotten. Then people began to disappear. Ghostly manifestations occurred. And there is the deaf-mute that grew up in the fringes of society, distrusting people and their good intentions until he met Jennifer. The illusory feelings he had for her was shattered and he withdrew from society. Alone and close to death he was saved by a malevolent creature that offered him life only to find out that not all second chances are worth taking. With things getting out of hand and with the approach of a typhoon, Panganiban, Salve and Javier along with others banded together to solve the mystery, find the abductees and put the case to rest. Unaware that they were about to clash with dark forces that had roamed the land for centuries and to a showdown beneath the bowels of an old house that nobody knew existed. Some will die, some will survive, others will find redemption and renewal.

A burst of laughter from a baby, the aroma of a home-cooked meal, the delicate touch of a loved one’s hand, the comforting hug of a friend—these moments, though seemingly trivial, hold within them the essence of the universe. She also highlights how happiness is found in our struggles, as well as in the resilience we must show to overcome challenges. The author also delves into her Ph.D. work on Bhutan’s unique happiness ethos, offering profound insights.

With diagrams, illustrations, and full-color photographs throughout, this is a completely revised and updated version of Pistorius's popular Country Journal Book of Birding and Bird Attraction.

Pistorius's style is lighthearted and humorous, and he's never averse to directing a little gentle humor at the foibles of fellow devotees when they begin to take themselves and their hobby too seriously.

Download or read book What Remains written by Tracey Lee and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-12-19 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The OHara family has lived on Lake Road for generationssince 1825, in fact. Their fates have been as varied as the lakes depths, but 1975 was a pivotal time in the life of the family. It was the year that Lily OHara was born and her mother, Moya, and brother, Brannen, disappeared. It was assumed that the two had drowned, but the bodies were never recovered. Her father, Cillian, could offer no explanation for the disappearance of his wife and son. The police and locals believed he was guilty of murder, but without bodies no charges could be laid. The young father attempted to raise his baby daughter with the help of his unmarried brother and sister, Darcy and Billie. The weight of loss and presumed guilt drove Cillian to take his own life when Lily was only nine months old. The novel commences with twenty-six-year-old Lily watching the now diminishing lake and thinking about her life. She tries to avoid dwelling on her familys demise. Billie and Darcy are now dead, and she knows little about the events from 1975. But the past can never be truly silenced, and the noise of those terrible losses roars back to life when bones are discovered in the drying mud of the now-empty lake. Lily is an archivist and curator. In her working life she makes sense of the past lives of other people by assigning meaning to the artefacts they leave behind. It becomes her mission to make sense of her fathers actions by examining what evidence remains. She will also come to accept that she, like all of us, has been shaped by the past. She must decide if she will be consumed or strengthened by what she finds out.
