Book excerpt: A great read. Back Road To Murder is one of those rare, well written, hard to put down mysteries that are punctuated by flashes of insight and stimulating social massage. Nestled among the glass skyscrapers in downtown Portland, Oregon, is Pierre’s 5-Star Restaurant. There, on Tuesdays, a cabal of wealthy old-boys met to parade their show-and-don’t-tell young women. Inside Pierre’s, for those few hours every Tuesday, the elegant restaurant becomes “1920s-POSH.” William Bartlet, Esq., head of a prestigious Portland law firm and Senior old boy, is blackmailed. An escalating damage control follows with the skillful set-up of redheaded Leyland Sowers, a small town logger, for the murder of Bartlet’s mistress. Detective Martin “Red” Goodloe believes the overwhelming evidence against Sowers is “too convenient.” As Goodloe—exotic latte in hand—does the legwork to find the real killer, he gives an insider’s tour of Portland and Sultan, the isolated and quirky hometown where Sowers has lived his whole life. Candid glimpses of big-city-Portland and small-town-Sultan reveal parallel abuse of power, exploitation of women, and, most terrible of all, the reason the Sheriff’s daughter can only trust redheaded men.

Download or read book Behind Closed Doors written by Seth Alexander Thévoz and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2022-07-28 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a keen eye for the juicy anecdote, Thévoz tells the fascinating and entertaining story of the rise, decline and resurgence of London's private members' clubs, from the late-eighteenth century to the present day. In doing so he looks at cultural and political developments beyond the clubs, revealing how while the clubs may have been products of their city and country, they also exerted significant influence on London, Britain and places far beyond. This is a chronicle, as informative as it is entertaining, of the ups and downs of London clubland, and how it had an impact on parts of the world far from London. It is packed with amusing anecdotes and illustrative examples of the growth of this quirky, unique institution, which grew to spread around the world. London, though, with its four hundred clubs, was always at its heart. Thévoz reveals how everything we might have thought we knew about these clubs is wrong. They may have started out as white, male, aristocratic watering holes - but that's only part of the story. All sections of society built their own clubs and lived their lives there: highbrow and lowbrow; women and men; working-class, middle-class and upper-class; international and British. The club has been central to a distinctively British form of leisure over more than three centuries. Behind Closed Doors is a distillation of a decade of research and writing on London clubs, based on exclusive behind-the-scenes access to archives and proceedings, as well as a love of gossip and scandal.

Book excerpt: Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone meets The Goonies in The Treasure Hunters Club—a rollicking murder mystery set in a seaside town filled with pirate lore, family secrets, unforgiveable grudges, secret societies, and of course, a treasure lost to time. WELCOME TO MAPLE BAY, NOVA SCOTIA For nearly a century, people have ventured to the idyllic seaside town of Maple Bay in search of a legendary lost pirate treasure, but locals know there’s more than just gold buried in the sand. As the paths of three strangers converge in Maple Bay, the truth is about to be blown wide open. But not before the bodies start to pile up. Peter Barnett is rapidly approaching 40 with little to show for it when a mysterious letter invites him to Maple Bay and the mansion his estranged family has called home for generations. Seventeen-year-old Dandy Feltzen is isolated and adrift following the death of her beloved grandfather, until his final request and a tantalizing clue sets her on a mission to solve the mystery he spent his entire life chasing. Cass Jones has given up on her dream of being a successful author when an unexpected opportunity lands in her lap: a housesitting gig in remote Maple Bay, where she stumbles on the perfect subject matter for her breakout book—and the handsome sailor who might be just the person to help her research it. Peter, Dandy and Cass have never met, but they’re on a collision course with each other and the mystery that has defined Maple Bay for two centuries, and none of them are prepared for the shocking truths that may or may not still be buried there.

Download or read book The Lucid View written by Aeolus Kephas and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2011-03-09 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first acceptance of paranoid awareness is that nothing is as it seems. This is the key to understanding the conspiracy of nature, the "matrix" that constitutes the foundation of paranoid awareness, and the forerunner to the lucid view. Paranoid awareness asks the question: Supposing the Truth happens to more or less coincide with what has been hitherto designated as impossible? Supposing what we call Reason has been a plot to systematically cut off all phenomena and thoughts that refuse to submit to its own arbitrary model of reality? Supposing ninety five percent of what is really going on in the world has been suppressed and damned, in order to maintain the current illusion of Consensus "Reality"? Supposing, in a word, that REALITY IS ELSEWHERE? This is the premise of The Lucid View. Consensus Reality is the ultimate secret society. It is so secret that even its members are unaware of its existence. Consensus Reality is a conspiracy to uphold the world. It is the means by which we communicate and agree upon the way things are, and the way they must be. So far as it is a functioning model, such a Consensus is valid. Insofar as it is not a functioning model, and is, as in our present case, on the verge of total breakdown, then such a Consensus is by definition invalid. At this point, it therefore becomes the right and responsibility of every thinking member of society to cancel his membership, and to option a new, higher or broader concept of "reality." This is The Lucid View. The Lucid View: Investigations in Eschatology and Paranoid Awareness An unorthodox analysis of conspiracy theory, ufology, extraterrestrialism, and occultism, The Lucid View takes us on an impartial journey through secret history, from the Gnostics and Templars, Crowley and Hitler1s occult alliance, the sorcery wars of Freemasonry and the Illuminati, "Alternative Three" covert space colonization, the JFK assassination, the Manson murders, Jonestown, 9/11, into Ufos and alien abductions, their relations to mind control technology and sorcery practices, with reference to inorganic beings and Kundalini energy. The book offers a balanced overview on religious, magical and paranoid beliefs as pertaining to the 21st century, and their social, psychological, and spiritual implications for humanity, the leading game player in the grand mythic drama of Armageddon.
