Book excerpt: Set against the grime-and-glitter backdrop of mid-20th century Los Angeles, this is the true story of a talented young athlete in the days before special ability in sports was a ticket to riches. Faced with a choice of sure success in the revered but grueling world of major league baseball or the easy money, fast times, and glamour of organized crime, Ralph "Blackie" Schwamb tried to have it all. But the pull of the underworld was inevitably too strong, and Blackie, a rising star pitcher for the St. Louis Browns at 22, was behind bars for a brutal murder at 23. Like a fast-paced novel, this book races breathlessly through Depression-era and World War II L.A. and into the postwar economic boom, plunging into a world of gangsters, nightclubs, girls, guns, gambling, and booze, from Mexico to Canada--and baseball, mostly behind prison walls.--From publisher description.

Book excerpt: In this #1 New York Times bestseller, California's newest private investigator, Detective Harry Bosch, must track down a missing heir while helping a police department connect the dots on a dangerous cold case. Harry Bosch is California's newest private investigator. He doesn't advertise, he doesn't have an office, and he's picky about who he works for, but it doesn't matter. His chops from thirty years with the LAPD speak for themselves. Soon one of Southern California's biggest moguls comes calling. The reclusive billionaire is nearing the end of his life and is haunted by one regret. When he was young, he had a relationship with a Mexican girl, his great love. But soon after becoming pregnant, she disappeared. Did she have the baby? And if so, what happened to it? Desperate to know whether he has an heir, the dying magnate hires Bosch, the only person he can trust. With such a vast fortune at stake, Harry realizes that his mission could be risky not only for himself but for the one he's seeking. But as he begins to uncover the haunting story--and finds uncanny links to his own past--he knows he cannot rest until he finds the truth. At the same time, unable to leave cop work behind completely, he volunteers as an investigator for a tiny cash-strapped police department and finds himself tracking a serial rapist who is one of the most baffling and dangerous foes he has ever faced. Swift, unpredictable, and thrilling, The Wrong Side of Goodbye shows that Michael Connelly "continues to amaze with his consistent skill and sizzle" (Cleveland Plain Dealer).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosalinda tries on the new red velvet dress her grandmother just finished making. When she twirls in front of the large standing mirror and comes to a stop, she does not see herself. The mirror goes dark, and she finds herself standing in some other girl's bedroom. A boy about her age bursts through the door, stops, and demands to know who she is and where his cousin Rose is. Rosalinda tells him she has no idea how she got there and all she wants to do is get back home. The boy introduces himself as Trace, and they decide to work together to figure things out. Once Trace introduces Rosalinda to Rose's grandmother Lilly, it becomes clear that the woman is a strong but good witch and that magic must have been involved in Rosalinda's travel through the mirror. Trace reveals that Rose had been secretly nosing around in Grandma Lilly's library for magic books and stole some of them. He suspects she was experimenting with some spells. To figure out which spell Rose might have tried that made her disappear and brought Rosalinda in her place, Trace and his new friend explored Grandma Lilly's library--the basement packed with furniture, boxes, and a mysterious trunk, the attic full of clothes and other junk, and finally the lighthouse where Rose hung out. Along the way, Trace and Rosalina encounter an evil witch named Marless, along with several monstrous beasts she uses against them. The pair are helped by Hunter, a friendly warlock. In a cave below the lighthouse, Rosalinda and her allies discover that two innocent characters are trapped in cages suspended from the ceiling, along with frightful creatures also cooped up in the same way. Marless appears with a small army of minions and releases the caged savages to defeat Rosalinda, Trace, Hunter, and Grandma Lilly. Brute force and clever spells clash in a violent struggle to triumph over the opponents. But how will this end? Will Rosalinda and her friends ever find the spell that takes her back where she belongs?

And he’s running for U.S. President. Suddenly, Kate’s moving in with a family she never knew she had, joining a campaign in support of a man she hardly knows, and falling for a rebellious boy who may not have the purest motives. This is Kate’s new life. But who is Kate? When what she truly believes flies in the face of the campaign’s talking points, she must decide. Does she turn to the family she barely knows, the boy she knows but doesn’t necessarily trust, or face a third, even scarier option?

Enraged about that, and the fact that his lover refuses to stand by him, Dan moves to Denver, where he becomes Dirk Steele. He finds a job working for the Powells, who are pawnbrokers ... and fences. When he proposes to them that he put together a team to steal on demand for the Powells’ less than legitimate clients, a deal is struck and the team is formed. The team consists of Maverick, a thief; Tripp, a street kid who shoplifts to survive; and Fey, another street kid who is an excellent pickpocket and petty thief. Now the question becomes, will the team succeed? And, equally important, will the attraction between Dirk, who has sworn off love, and Maverick -- whose credo is only down and dirty sex -- grow into something more? Or will they remain just 'friends with benefits'? Time will tell as the team takes on increasingly difficult jobs and a man from Dirk's past shows up who could possibly throw a monkey wrench into the works.
Download or read book Beyond Our Walls written by Anita Rahma and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding True Worth in the Slums With over one billion people living in urban slums today, these communities are arguably one of the largest unreached demographics in the world. The challenge is great, as are the sacrifices of living there, yet the Lord can do much with a willing follower. So, what if choosing to live in a slum is a way to become closer to Jesus? Beyond Our Walls provides a unique window into what ministry in an urban slum setting can look like. The author shares the amazing story of God’s faithfulness in her life, as she follows Jesus into the slums of Jakarta, Indonesia, and still lives there twelve years later with her husband and two young sons. Not only have her Muslim neighbors had an opportunity to get to know a follower of Jesus, but the author herself has been forever changed by her experiences. Readers will be moved and challenged by this book. It provides an intriguing testimony that will appeal to those interested in Muslim/Chrisitan relations. And women already on the mission field will find it especially encouraging as the author reflects on the difficult aspects of mothering on the field and the faithfulness of Jesus through the hard years of parenting small children. While life in the slums is often hard, the joys are many as well.
