Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 1930s murder mystery in the July heat of Atlanta's summer. A drunk and disgraced Detective William Barronson wishes only to die and join his deceased wife and son. Disgusted that his last drunk attempt failed, he heads to work for another day of ridicule. Knowing his captain will probably put him out giving parking tickets, Barronson swings by the old Aragon Hotel. He spots a familiar old work truck parked next to the hotel. Feeling something is not right, Barronson decides to investigate. Why? Because in his eleven years with the force, this is the first time anyone has ever parked here. The hotel is owned by the richest family in Atlanta, the McCallums. In its day, the hotel was the bell of the ball until a triple murder had closed it. Some say it's haunted, some say it's cursed. Either way, he had to check it out, being a cop. Once entering the hotel, William Barronson finds himself embroiled in theft, murder, love, betrayal, treason, and lost treasure--treasure that disappeared during the Battle of Atlanta in 1864.

Enter Tom Aragon, the droll Mexican-American lawyer turned private investigator, who finds himself navigating a viper’s nest of California elites in his quest for the truth. Miranda Shaw and Grady Keaton should have made for a run-of-the-mill scandal at the prestigious Penguin Beach Club.

Book Murder in the Central Committee

Download or read book Murder in the Central Committee written by Manuel Vazquez Montalban and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a meeting of the central committee of Spain's Communist Party, in a room both locked and guarded, general secretary Fernando Garrido is stabbed to death. But the Party refuses to believe it was an inside job. They turn to former member Pepe Carvalho. But he’s soon out of his depth in unfamiliar Madrid, where he spends nearly as much time investigating the chorizo, lamb-kidneys, and tripe, and the uninspiring selection of wine on offer, as he does murder. With time out for his signature book burning (Engels’s The Housing Question), cooking (shellfish risotto), and an ill-advised bajativo (cognac, crème de menthe) inspired romp with Gladys, Pepe Carvalho leads a wry and cynical tour through the labyrinth of post-Fascist Spanish politics amid violent jostling for power.

Book Bruno Schulz  An Artist  a Murder  and the Hijacking of History

Download or read book Bruno Schulz An Artist a Murder and the Hijacking of History written by Benjamin Balint and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh portrait of the Polish-Jewish writer and artist, and a gripping account of the secret operation to rescue his last artworks. The twentieth-century artist Bruno Schulz was born an Austrian, lived as a Pole, and died a Jew. First a citizen of the Habsburg monarchy, he would, without moving, become the subject of the West Ukrainian People’s Republic, the Second Polish Republic, the USSR, and, finally, the Third Reich. Yet to use his own metaphor, Schulz remained throughout a citizen of the Republic of Dreams. He was a master of twentieth-century imaginative fiction who mapped the anxious perplexities of his time; Isaac Bashevis Singer called him “one of the most remarkable writers who ever lived.” Schulz was also a talented illustrator and graphic artist whose masochistic drawings would catch the eye of a sadistic Nazi officer. Schulz’s art became the currency in which he bought life. Drawing on extensive new reporting and archival research, Benjamin Balint chases the inventive murals Schulz painted on the walls of an SS villa—the last traces of his vanished world—into multiple dimensions of the artist’s life and afterlife. Sixty years after Schulz was murdered, those murals were miraculously rediscovered, only to be secretly smuggled by Israeli agents to Jerusalem. The ensuing international furor summoned broader perplexities, not just about who has the right to curate orphaned artworks and to construe their meanings, but about who can claim to stand guard over the legacy of Jews killed in the Nazi slaughter. By re-creating the artist’s milieu at a crossroads not just of Jewish and Polish culture but of art, sex, and violence, Bruno Schulz itself stands as an act of belated restitution, offering a kaleidoscopic portrait of a life with all its paradoxes and curtailed possibilities.

  • Publisher : University of Georgia Press
  • Release : 2011-03-01
  • ISBN : 0820339059
  • Pages : 1084 pages

Download or read book Atlanta and Environs written by Franklin M. Garrett and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 1084 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atlanta and Environs is, in every way, an exhaustive history of the Atlanta Area from the time of its settlement in the 1820s through the 1970s. Volumes I and II, together more than two thousand pages in length, represent a quarter century of research by their author, Franklin M. Garrett—a man called “a walking encyclopedia on Atlanta history” by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. With the publication of Volume III, by Harold H. Martin, this chronicle of the South’s most vibrant city incorporates the spectacular growth and enterprise that have characterized Atlanta in recent decades. The work is arranged chronologically, with a section devoted to each decade, a chapter to each year. Volume I covers the history of Atlanta and its people up to 1880—ranging from the city’s founding as “Terminus” through its Civil War destruction and subsequent phoenixlike rebirth. Volume II details Atlanta’s development from 1880 through the 1930s—including occurrences of such diversity as the development of the Coca-Cola Company and the Atlanta premiere of Gone with the Wind. Taking up the city’s fortunes in the 1940s, Volume III spans the years of Atlanta’s greatest growth. Tracing the rise of new building on the downtown skyline and the construction of Hartsfield International Airport on the city’s perimeter, covering the politics at City Hall and the box scores of Atlanta’s new baseball team, recounting the changing terms of race relations and the city’s growing support of the arts, the last volume of Atlanta and Environs documents the maturation of the South’s preeminent city.
