Download or read book Blood Rites written by Jim Butcher and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-08-03 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files, Chicago's only professional wizard takes on a case for a vampire and becomes the prime suspect in a series of ghastly murders. Harry Dresden has had worse assignments than going undercover on the set of an adult film. Like fleeing a burning building full of enraged demon-monkeys, for instance. Or going toe-to-leaf with a walking plant monster. Still, there’s something more troubling than usual about his newest case. The film’s producer believes he’s the target of a sinister curse—but it’s the women around him who are dying, in increasingly spectacular ways. Harry’s doubly frustrated because he only got involved with this bizarre mystery as a favor to Thomas—his flirtatious, self-absorbed vampire acquaintance of dubious integrity. Thomas has a personal stake in the case Harry can’t quite figure out, until his investigation leads him straight to the vampire’s oversexed, bite-happy family. Now, Harry’s about to discover that Thomas’ family tree has been hiding a shocking secret: a revelation that will change Harry’s life forever.
Download or read book The Truth Beneath a Scarlet Sky written by Natasha Tristan and published by UB Tech. This book was released on with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The action-packed life of a hero Pino Lella with dispelling doubts Pino Lella was an Italian boy who challenged his age, overcame the crisis he faced, and went down to the rescue at the age of seventeen. He was very familiar with the Alps and its surroundings from his childhood and even defeated the weather to save the Jews from the war. With this book, you will come to know more clearly about a personality who is a hidden segment of Italian history who fought bravely till the end. That’s Pino Lella that got to be known by everyone through Mark T. Sullivan’s Beyond a Scarlet Sky. Some confusion arose with that version, but also here are the findings of Sullivan’s search for the reality about it. When taken back to the mirror of another aspect, this looks like a guide to see Pino Lella as a mere representation of that period and to understand many of the things of that time. Pino Lella was also instrumental in diverting the direction of the war by transforming himself into the role of loyal to the aid of Hitler in Italy. It was done because all are aware that Hitler was the main strategist of World War II. What helped him to change into that disguise was his experience in driving and knowledge of various languages. It was his mental strength that held him in all this. He was a witness to many tragic events. Through his eventful life, an era and his experiences like a thriller are discussed here. It is possible to trace that period and that brave hero through some of the missing strings of the war.
