Book excerpt: The Bone Man is the second book in the internationally successful Detective Brenner series. In this latest episode, the hilariously wry and rueful Colombo of Austria, Steve Brenner, looks into a grisly murder at a much-loved chicken restaurant. Some of the bones within don't quite look like they came from chickens, it would be fair to say. Wolf Haas has written another quirky tale that's both funny and dark, rooted in the perversities of modern-day politics. The Bone Man is a timely, edgy story featuring a protagonist it's hard not to love.

Download or read book The Bone Man of Kokoda written by Charles Happell and published by Pan Australia. This book was released on 2008 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kokichi Nishimura was a member of the 2nd battalion, 144th Regiment of the Japanese Imperial Army. In 1942 he fought along every foot of Kokoda as the Japanese attempted to take Port Moresby. He was the only man from his company to survive the campaign. As he was evacuated to safety he made a promise that one day he would return to his comrades and bring them home to Japan for proper burial. After the war, Nishimura prospered. But under the surface, the driving ambition of his life was to fulfil his promise. In 1979, he shocked his family by returning to New Guinea to search for the remains of Japanese soldiers. For the next 25 years, Nishimura lived alone along the Kokoda Track. Armed only with a metal detector, a mattock and a shovel, he searched for his dead comrades. Over the years he found hundreds of them - some he was able to identify and return their bones to their families; others were unknown, and their remains were sent to Japan's official shrine for its war dead in Tokyo. In 2005 Nishimura, now in his mid-eighties and seriously ill, was forced to return to Japan. His story is an incredible adventure that gives us a radically different viewpoint on a battle that has become part of our national myth. Nishimura's life and quest above all offer a poignant reminder of the futility of war.

Book excerpt: His name is Walker Gray. He rebuilds the faces of the slain. The lost, the forgotten, the unnamed. Through his skill and intuition, the missing dead are at last identified, reunited with who they were. Death is his province, but for all he's seen, he has yet to witness the true scope of it. In the burial gallery of a hillside monastery in central France, a Cistercian abbot is summoned to a disturbing discovery. In a hidden chamber rests an ancient coffin of bronze. More disturbing is what stands nearby - a bizarre altar, centuries old, constructed entirely of the dead. In a brick warehouse in Portland, Oregon, Walker Gray and Dr. Jeffery Gray, father and son, renowned specialists in the craniofacial reproduction, have successfully concluded another case. Now, through a mysterious client, a crate containing an ancient bronze coffin has arrived. Walker Gray's all-consuming task will be identifying the tangle of bones and black rags inside it. In the process, his days will become a waking nightmare, linked by a hidden well where dozens of headless women have been dumped over the last century, a shadowy organization known as Terminus, their envoy, Adrienne, perfect, poisonous. As unnerving events escalate, Walker's psyche slowly unravels, and Dr. Katherine O'Neal, working the graveyard emergency room, strives to keep their love alive and keep him together. And homicide veteran and close associate, Detective Doris Shellhart, trying to sort through events, begins to doubt Walker's sanity. For good reason. Those who Walker knows, or loves, will meet violent ends, and the unknown will shape itself into something horrifically recognizable. Walker Gray, on the razor edge of life or death, rebuilder of the dead, must confront the face that emerges from the darkness and into the light.

Download or read book Bone Deep written by Charles Bosworth Jr. and published by Citadel. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE TRUE STORY BEHIND NBC’S MARQUEE MINI-SERIES "THE THING ABOUT PAM" STARRING RENEE ZELLWEGER AS PAM HUPP AND JOSH DUHAMEL AS JOEL SCHWARTZ, PREMIERING FEBRUARY 2022. The explosive, first-ever insider’s account of the case that’s captivated millions – the murder of Betsy Faria and the wrongful conviction of her husband – told by Joel J. Schwartz, the defense attorney who fought for justice on behalf of Russel Faria, and New York Times bestselling author Charles Bosworth Jr. Goodreads Top Nonfiction of 2022 On December 27th, 2011, Russell Faria returned to his Troy, Missouri, home after his weekly game night with friends to an unthinkable, grisly scene: His wife, Betsy, lay dead, a knife still lodged in her neck. She’d been stabbed fifty-five times. First responders concluded that Betsy was dead for hours when Russ discovered her. No blood was found implicating Russ, and surveillance video, receipts, and friends’ testimony all supported his alibi. Yet incredibly, police and the prosecuting attorney ignored the evidence. In their minds, Russ was guilty. But prominent defense attorney Joel J. Schwartz quickly recognized the real killer. The motive was clear. Days before her murder, the terminally ill Betsy replaced her husband with her friend, Pamela Hupp, as her life insurance beneficiary. Still, despite the prosecution’s flimsy case and Hupp’s transparent lies, Russ was convicted—leaving Hupp free to kill again. Bone Deep takes readers through the perfect storm of miscalculations and missteps that led to an innocent man’s conviction—and recounts Schwartz’s successful battle to have that conviction overturned. Written with Russ Faria’s cooperation, and filled with chilling new revelations and previously undisclosed evidence, this is the story of what can happen when police, prosecutor, judge, and jury all fail in their duty to protect the innocent—and let a killer get away with murder. “Fans of Dateline will be interested in this work, which will likely only grow in popularity when the miniseries The Thing About Pam, starring Renée Zellweger, premieres in March 2022.” –Library Journal “Filled with chilling new revelations and previously undisclosed evidence, this is the story of what can happen when police, prosecutor, judge, and jury all fail in their duty to protect the innocent—and let a killer get away with murder. This book is an explosive, insider’s account of a case that continues to fascinate the public. We highly recommend it.” –Mystery Tribune “An engaging true-crime book that exposes failures in the American criminal justice system while putting a human face on those involved and is recommended to those that enjoy well-researched books.” –Mystery and Suspense “If you are interested in justice, in criminal profiling, in trial procedures, the dynamics between the judge, the defense, and the prosecution, this book is for you.” –Defrosting Cold Cases

Download or read book Deepstep Come Shining written by C.D. Wright and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebellious and fiercely lyrical, the poems of C.D. Wright incorporate elements of disjunction and odd juxtaposition in their exploration of unfolding context. "In my book," she writes, "poetry is a necessity of life. It is a function of poetry to locate those zones inside us that would be free, and declare them so." C.D. Wright was born and raised in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. She has received numerous awards for her work, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Guggenheim Foundation, the American Academy and Institute for Arts and Letters, and the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Foundation. She teaches at Brown University in Rhode Island. "Expertly elliptical phrasings, and an uncounterfeitable, generous feel for real people, bodies and places, have lately made Wright one of America's oddest, best and most appealing poets. Her tenth book consists of a single long poem whose sentences, segments and prose-blocks weave loosely around and about, and grow out of, a road trip through the rural South. Clipped twangs, lyrical ‘goblets of magnolialight,’ and recurrent, mysterious, semi-allegorical figures like ‘the snakeman’ and ‘the boneman’ share space with place names, lexicographies, exhortations and wacky graffiti (‘God is Louise’).… cherish Wright's latest ‘once-and-for-all thing, opaque and revelatory, ceaselessly burning.’"—Publishers Weekly "For me, C.D. Wright's poetry is river gold. 'Love whatever flows.' Her language is on the page half pulled out of earth and rivers—still holding onto the truth of the elements. I love her voice and pitch and the long snaky arms of her language that is willing to hold everything—human and angry and beautiful."—Michael Ondaatje "C.D. Wright is entirely her own poet, a true original."—The Gettysburg Review
