Book excerpt: A deadly game. A secret society. A detective clinging to her badge. For the past month, Darby Shaw, detective for the Kansas City Bendex Police Department, has been working with whoever in her department needs her while her partner has been on medical leave. Hours before he's to return and her life—hopefully—will return to some semblance of normal, she gets called in on a possible homicide. The victim is frozen stiff, but it hasn't yet been cold enough in early November for that to happen. Even more mystifying: the fingerprints of the young man have been removed, making identifying him nearly impossible. Darby's partner, Mark Herman, has more on his plate than just the victim of the case he walks into coming off of medical leave. The fact that Darby not only revived him from death just a few short weeks ago, and that their relationship has become deeper than simply partners and friends weighs heavily on not just him, but the department shrink. Initially, he thinks working with his girlfriend, whom he also has a mental communication link to, will be good. But as the days move on, he realizes how much of a distraction it is to be working side by side with the woman he loves. Is it really for the best that they continue working together? As they try to balance work, love, and their unusual superhuman psychic connection, Darby and Mark peel back the layers of a case that only leaves them with more questions as they dig through the dark underbelly of Kansas City and a secretive superhuman group. And if they're not careful, one or both of them may lose their careers over it. Escalation is the fifth book in the Darby Shaw Chronicles.

Download or read book Ruin A Novel of Flyfishing in Bankruptcy written by Leigh Seippel and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vivid story opens with every couple’s nightmare—the disappearance of their comfortable known world. Ruin’s adventure explores the unpredictable progression of character and chance for Francy and Frank Campbell, newly destitute in their early thirties, along with their lovers and foes. And a murder investigator . . . . Frank is another dreamer whose life is suddenly burned to the ground. More a disillusioned literature Ph.D. than an experienced financier, he had naively agreed to join his wife’s inheritance with his own personal guarantee of a college friend’s private equity partnership debt. ­The business implosion and subsequent bankruptcy took all their assets. Francy, an orphaned European heiress, now finds herself homeless, still married to pleasant, witty Frank—who had failed to protect them from disaster. ­The couple flees Manhattan to live at a desolate non-working Hudson Valley farm. Frank starts an artisanal brewery with a charismatic new eccentric friend. And, central to the heart of the story, he takes up fly fishing. A local doctor, perceiving Frank’s depression, prescribes that he gain some confidence through self-taught fishing. Frank’s perceptions on the water are fresh and acute, sometimes colored by his memory of the words of famous writers, now painfully ironic in his life’s new context. ­ The novel weaves together fly fishing and life experiences that ultimately turn shockingly deadly. And throughout, there is Francy’s story. Now in exile, she re-approaches painting with new and darkly complex emotional energy. Painting in reclusive concentration, she cuts Frank off, tacitly becoming her own woman. Her work’s enigmatic intensity attracts a wealthy neighbor who offers Francy a show in his Manhattan gallery and that attracts a great deal of trouble indeed.

Download or read book The Witness Wore Red written by Rebecca Musser and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've watched Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey, the top 5 true-crime docuseries on Netflix. Now discover the revealing memoir of one woman featured in the series who was forced into polygamous marriage and her brave struggle to protect others from the same fate. Rebecca Musser grew up in fear, concealing her family's polygamous lifestyle from the "dangerous" outside world. Covered head-to-toe in strict, modest clothing, she received a rigorous education at Alta Academy, the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' school headed by Warren Jeffs. Always seeking to be an obedient Priesthood girl, in her teens she became the nineteenth wife of her people's prophet: 85-year-old Rulon Jeffs, Warren's father. Finally sickened by the abuse she suffered and saw around her, she pulled off a daring escape and sought to build a new life and family. The church, however, had a way of pulling her back in-and by 2007, Rebecca had no choice but to take the witness stand against the new prophet of the FLDS in order to protect her little sisters and other young girls from being forced to marry at shockingly young ages. The following year, Rebecca and the rest of the world watched as a team of Texas Rangers raided the Yearning for Zion Ranch, a stronghold of the FLDS. Rebecca's subsequent testimony would reveal the horrific secrets taking place behind closed doors of the temple, sending their leaders to prison for years, and Warren Jeffs for life. The Witness Wore Red is a gripping account of one woman's struggle to escape the perverse embrace of religious fanaticism and sexual slavery, and a courageous story of hope and transformation.
