Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Playmates of Harvest View is an absorbing story of deception, romance, forbidden desires, murder, and greed. In a small, secluded close-knit community in the state of Missouri, three sisters—Rebecca, Neaverna, and Samantha Palermo—like most, enjoyed the security and tranquility, until that late afternoon in June. Their peaceful lives were splintered when Rebecca went missing, and later found raped and murdered. Her friends and male playmates, Thaddeus Kennedy, Jeremy Browriskyzcoff-Mancina, Joel Earl Baptista, and Joseph Mancina, vowed to avenge her death in later years, at any cost. The suspects, Peter Cruzada and his friends, Timothy Monacelli, Sampson Durgard, and Travis Harvey, were the teenage sons of super rich and powerful parents, who lived the lives of luxury in the suburbs. They were the elites of society and deemed the pillars of their community. At an early age, the little band of boys' child play turned into something far greater than anything one could've ever imagined. Their cruel behaviors landed them in juvenile detention facilities. This was just the beginning of a life that placed the group of boys on the wrong side of the law. In later years, a rash of murders and heavy drug trafficking throughout the United States, Canada, South and Central America, and the Caribbean islands came to the attention of the United States government. Their investigation of these crime sprees led them to the tight closed doors of Peter, and his gang. The gang had grown into a well-organized drug cartel. The world was their playground, and they had become the untouchables. The Central Intelligence Agency Special Task Force was formed, and Thaddeus was the CIA agent who was appointed to oversee the operation. His job was to apprehend Peter and his gang, by any means necessary. He recruited his friends, who were also his childhood playmates, to assist him in apprehending the gang. They never thought that their innocent child play of crooks and robbers would manifest into real-life drama. The relentless manhunt led them to the other side of the world, and back again. Things intensified when they learned that their former classmate, Karen Shaw, was part of the gang. She was dubbed the Gutsy Missouri Bad Girl. Fearless and bold beyond the meaning of the word, she craved bloodshed, which was evidenced in the string of murder victims that she left in every path that she chose to travel. Already faced with unimaginable danger, even death, the Central Intelligence Agency Special Task Force discovered that Peter and his gang had joined forces with a few dirty CIA agents. Driven by greed and the desire to control the underground world, the gang clashed with the mighty playmates of Harvest View. In a bloody showdown in Las Vegas, Nevada, their reign of terror came to an end. Through the years, dating all the way back to their childhood, the playmates of Harvest View's relationships with the sisters of the murdered girl progressed to matrimony, and a lifestyle of class and distinction. Easily said, but not so easily done. This superbly crafted novel has near-perfect balance of action and will attract readers from multiple genres. It's filled with vivid characters whom you would fall in love with, and some you would love to hate. The dramatic actions of these characters pull the readers into incredible sequences of jaw-dropping, spellbinding, and page-turning suspense.

Download or read book Power and Intimacy in the Christian Philippines written by Fenella Cannell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-03-18 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What kind of reciprocity exists between unequal partners? How can a 'culture' which makes no attempt to defend unchanging traditions be understood as such? In the Christian Philippines, inequalities - global and local - are negotiated through idioms of persuasion, reluctance and pity. Fenella Cannell's study suggests that these are the idioms of a culture which does not need to represent itself as immutable. Her account of Philippine spirit-mediumship, Catholicism, transvestite beauty contests, and marriage in Bicol calls for a reassessment of our understanding of South-East Asian modernity. Combining a strong theoretical interest in the anthropology of religion with a broader comparative attention to recent developments in South-East Asian studies, she offers a powerful alternative to existing interpretations of the relationship between culture and tradition in the region and beyond. This book addresses not only South-East Asianists, but all those with an interest in the anthropology of religion and post-colonial cultures. Power and Intimacy in the Christian Phillipines has won the Harry J. Benda prize for 2001.
Download or read book Spinegrinder written by Clive Davies and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2015-03-06 with total page 1100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First came video and more recently high definition home entertainment, through to the internet with its streaming videos and not strictly legal peer-to-peer capabilities. With so many sources available, today’s fan of horror and exploitation movies isn’t necessarily educated on paths well-trodden — Universal classics, 1950s monster movies, Hammer — as once they were. They may not even be born and bred on DAWN OF THE DEAD. In fact, anyone with a bit of technical savvy (quickly becoming second nature for the born-clicking generation) may be viewing MYSTICS IN BALI and S.S. EXPERIMENT CAMP long before ever hearing of Bela Lugosi or watching a movie directed by Dario Argento. In this world, H.G. Lewis, so-called “godfather of gore,” carries the same stripes as Alfred Hitchcock, “master of suspense.” SPINEGRINDER is one man’s ambitious, exhaustive and utterly obsessive attempt to make sense of over a century of exploitation and cult cinema, of a sort that most critics won’t care to write about. One opinion; 8,000 reviews (or thereabouts.

Book excerpt: Cowboy Ethan Wilder tends to keep leftovers in the fridge longer than he keeps the women he dates around. But Poppy Van Clief, the misplaced city girl who literally crashed into town, seems as immune to his charms as she is wary of his family name, which might be exactly why he's not going to rest until he makes her his for the long run. Hamptons socialite Poppy Van Clief sees the small town of Bitter End as her big chance for a fresh start, in spite of the town’s ominously symbolic name and her disastrous arrival there. Away from her family’s wealth and reputation, it’s her chance to be more than what people assume about her—that she's skating through life on her daddy's money and her good looks. She's determined to succeed on her own merits, and make the Wilder Inn a huge success at the same time. There’s one thing standing in her way. Ethan Wilder. Why a cowboy player in charge of the family livestock wants to be involved in the business end of the Wilder enterprise is beyond her, but he does. And his annoying, sexy, ever-present self, and the way her traitorous body reacts to him, is starting to become a problem she needs to solve. So is the event company who appears at the hotel with big ideas and a huge threat to her career there.
