This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When beautiful but tormented juvenile probation officer Christian Vargas discovers that babies are disappearing all over her rural Southeastern Washington State community of the Tri-Cities, she is determined to prove an illegal adoption ring is at work. Her partner, Daniel, has recently been emotionally distant, so instead she woos case information from the notorious playboy and prosecutor, Oz Rellim. A second victim brings back horrifying memories of her own baby’s death. Through Rellim, the intrepid young woman gets clues, as she begins to track the nefarious man responsible for this underworld game of life and death, money, and misogyny. Using the supernatural skills taught her by her Mexican shaman, Christian attempts to stop the kidnapper by posing as a woman wanting to adopt, in this high-stakes game of cat and mouse. “In this energetic third book in the Astrology Mystery series, the story centers on missing children and an illegal adoption ring. The latest installment reunites ambitious, dedicated, motorcycle-riding probation officer Christian Vargas with her ‘charismatic Chicano’ partner, Daniel O’Callahan, both hard on the trail of nefarious human traffickers responsible for three separate child abduction cases. Vargas, ignoring the warnings of the department head who vouched for her on a former tricky case, jumps (secretly) at the chance to participate in yet another investigation … More cleverly plotted suspense reliably anchored by a dogged heroine with verve to spare.” – Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book The Locked Door The Secret Room Behind the Kidnap Thriller written by Madeleine Watson and published by Madeleine Watson. This book was released on with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about my kidnap thriller, The Locked Door. It is my second of four novels and none are really novels at all but something far more sinister. The idea was confinement. Why, I didn’t know; I just felt a need to express it. Naturally, I made it into a kidnap thriller. During my writing, I connected with this ‘strand’. This strand grew addictive, compulsive, shameful, deathly and creepy. Little did I realize the source of this strand. Not until the age of 51 when I learned something truly terrible about myself. The précis to The Locked Door reads: “This hostage has a secret. “Gemma would appear to have everything: money, a devoted husband, a lively son, and a fulfilling career. But her life takes a nasty turn when she is kidnapped and trapped in an upstairs room by three thugs demanding a huge ransom from her rich father. “In a bid to escape, she cuts a hole in the bedroom floor. From there, Gemma spies on her kidnappers below. That's when their hostage starts playing games with them. That’s when her spying pulls her into a treacherous psychological game that endangers her sanity.” As the story progressed, the captive’s life began to feel as real as mine. She became like an avatar that I would enter when I craved escapism from my otherwise mundane life. With the terrible truth now known, I have analysed The Locked Door. I am appalled at what I have found. This novel appears to possess a shadow novel beneath the apparent one. During the writing, I was completely oblivious to it. In order to convey the intensity of my other world, I have included illustrations and diary excerpts within this account.

Download or read book The World of Shaft written by Steve Aldous and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mention Shaft and most people think of Gordon Parks' seminal 1971 film starring Richard Roundtree in a leather coat, walking the streets of Manhattan to Isaac Hayes' iconic theme music. But the black private dick who inspired the blaxploitation film genre actually made his debut on the printed page as the creation of a white novelist. Ernest Tidyman was a seasoned journalist down on his luck when he decided to try his hand at fiction. Shaft was the result, giving Tidyman the break he was looking for. He went on to become an Academy Award winning screenwriter and respected film producer. Based on extensive research of Tidyman's personal papers, this book tells the story of Shaft from the perspective of his creator. The author provides new insight and analysis of the writing of the Shaft novels, as well as the production of the films and TV series. First-ever coverage of the forgotten Shaft newspaper comic strip includes previously unseen artwork. Also included is Shaft's recent reappearance on the printed page, in both comic book and prose form.

I’m Helena and my high-powered lady-lawyer life has always been enough for me…until I found my one-night stand dead in my bed. Now, I’m suspected of murder, and the horns that have sprouted from my head have marked me as a supe, even though I'm not one. My career is in shambles and my reputation ruined—all because of a billionaire tech genius who wants the magical artifact that's landed in my lap—even though I never wanted it in the first place. The suppressants I've been taking have kept my horns hidden and my magical powers at bay, but the sexy time pills I took with my now deceased one-hit lover have messed with my system. And my abilities are surfacing. Not only are my powers unpredictable, but they cause me extreme physical pain. So does my attraction to Ford, the hot incubus professor. I can banter with him all day, but I won't allow things to go any further than a battle of wits. I don’t need anyone else, and I’m not going to succumb to his charms. Except he smells like gingerbread and makes me think all kinds of sexy thoughts. Then there's Crystal and Maddie, fellow wives of my ex-husband. I want to hate them, but they’re growing on me—practically insisting on a friendship. Now, I'm on a mission to prove myself a worthy protector of my artifact, hoping that the gods will bestow powers on me that I can use against the man who is determined to ruin my life, wreck Maddie's wedding, and make Crystal his next victim. My blood is up, my horns are hard, and I'll head butt anyone who tries to stop me. This is book 2 in the Powers of the Zodiac series.
