When her ex-lover comes to see her, Miranda “Munch” Mancini has mixed feelings. On one hand, he’s a reminder of all she has left behind in order to stay sober and rebuild her life. On the other hand, he’s Sleaze Garillo, the father of the baby girl she is now raising. When Sleaze disappears, Munch can’t help but get involved. The police don’t see foul play, but Munch is the one with the knowledge—and the friends—to get to the truth behind Sleaze’s suspicious disappearance.

Download or read book The Mannequins Ball written by Daniel Gerould and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This play, by Futurist poet Bruno Jasienski, is an outstanding example of the joining of left-wing politics and avant-garde interest in human mechanization that characterized the experimental theatre of Poland in the inter-war years. Stalinism and the purges cut short Jasienski's career and prevented productions of his play for many years - except for a brilliant constructivist staging in Prague in 1933. The Mannequins' Ball can now take its place along with Capek's R.U.R. as one of the major twentieth-century dramas making use of the themes and techniques of human automata. Reproduced in this volume are the eight woodcuts by Moor which accompanied the original Moscow publication in 1931.

Book excerpt: In the dynamic novel The Final Offense, the last sequel of a planned trilogy to A Federal Offense, and A Second Offense, author Harold Edward Poole brings the international terrorist playing field to a whole new level by revealing the intense human anxieties and spells of humor entailed in dealing with the pressures of confronting death on a nonstop timetable. I began to think this might be an exercise in futility. With my advanced age and uncontrollable anxieties becoming even more acute, I didn't know if I would be able to live through another mission. I could tell that my mental and physical quickness was not what it was even a year ago. My sweet wife Julie, who was killed in the Pentagon attack by the al Qaida, didn't even bother to come around to visit my mind much any more. Perhaps it was finally time for me to quit this killing game, and I promised myself that if I lived through this mission, it would be my last. When the government intercepts Internet traffic that indicates a third attack on the nation's capitol, retired FBI Special Agent Jim Marshall is called back to service. Marshall reluctantly agrees to come back and finds himself and his close friends physically threatened by the members of an al-Qaeda cell operating out of Washington DC. Using experience gained by thirty years as a field agent, Marshall is able to discover their plans and attempts to stop them before the attacks aimed at high-ranking political officials can be completed.
