Book excerpt: In June of 1940, when Paris fell to the Nazis, Hitler spent a total of three hours in the City of Light—abruptly leaving, never to return. To this day, no one knows why. Kate Rees, a young American markswoman, has been recruited by British intelligence to drop into Paris with a dangerous assignment: assassinate the Führer. Wrecked by grief after a Luftwaffe bombing killed her husband and infant daughter, she is armed with a rifle, a vendetta, and a fierce resolve. But other than rushed and rudimentary instruction, she has no formal spy training. Thrust into the red-hot center of the war, a country girl from rural Oregon finds herself holding the fate of the world in her hands. When Kate misses her mark and the plan unravels, Kate is on the run for her life—all the time wrestling with the suspicion that the whole operation was a set-up. New York Times bestselling author Cara Black is at her best as she brings Occupation-era France to vivid life in this masterful, pulse-pounding story about one young woman with the temerity—and drive—to take on Hitler himself. *Features an illustrated map of 1940s Paris as full color endpapers.

Download or read book Furious Hours written by Casey Cep and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “superbly written true-crime story” (Michael Lewis, The New York Times Book Review) masterfully brings together the tales of a serial killer in 1970s Alabama and of Harper Lee, the beloved author of To Kill a Mockingbird, who tried to write his story. Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family members, but with the help of a savvy lawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative assassinated him at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell’s murderer was acquitted—thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the reverend himself. Sitting in the audience during the vigilante’s trial was Harper Lee, who spent a year in town reporting on the Maxwell case and many more trying to finish the book she called The Reverend. Cep brings this remarkable story to life, from the horrifying murders to the courtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South, while offering a deeply moving portrait of one of our most revered writers.

Masterfully composed and written, the story leaves absolutely nothing unturned and is intriguing throughout in every sense. Andrew, a steadfast atheist, has defied his parent's attempts to raise him to be a Christian for over thirty years. However, his life and the lives of his family have been turned upside down by Islamic Jihadist terrorists who are out to kill them as well as detonate a series of nuclear weapons in an effort to destroy America. And, if that weren't enough, one nuclear device rests in a location in the United States so unique, so ingenious, its distinct placement alone can render the entire world uninhabitable. As Andrew and his family cope with the terrorists and the pending apocalypse, their beliefs and lives are put to the ultimate test. Is this the end of time predicted in the Book of Revelation? The story and its ending explore some possibilities that will be hard to ignore and some eye-opening revelations. As the tale culminates in an unexpected and most surprising conclusion that in itself becomes an absolute and decisive anecdote, the reader will realize that it intends to deliver several messages.

Although the story is intense with substance, it is also irresistibly alluring and enchanting in an ingenious way and will appeal to anyone looking for a story that is rich with riveting suspense and mysteries in a setting that may be relevant to today's world.
