Book excerpt: Five years ago, the world found themselves conflicted as they cheered for a serial killer. -John Deegan, ex-special ops, and a master of disguise with his appearance and voice, was the most hunted man on the planet for murdering pedophiles by stabbing them in their necks with sharpened-to-a-point crucifixes, and that included the priest who molested him when he was a little boy. Unfortunately, the Catholic Church still never made any changes to protect children. It is now 2016, and Pope Francis, leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics, is retiring due to ill health. All the world's cardinals will descend upon the Sistine Chapel for the conclave to elect a new pope. -When a string of gruesome murders take place in and around the catacombs, historic churches, and homosexual hot spots of Rome, some fear the worst is yet to come, and the prophesy of St. Malachy may be taking place that Pope Francis, the 212th pope, will be the Church's last pope, as clearly, a madman is on the loose. -Fearing a disaster and trying to avoid yet another media frenzy, the Vatican secretly calls on Detective Vic Gonnella to track Deegan down before any leaks take place and their reputation tainted. Vic uncovers, however, that Deegan is also in ill health. Is John Deegan planning one final gift to the world? Does he go incognito as a cardinal? A Swiss Guardsman? And more importantly has he recruited and trained more people to continue his plan for JUSTICE after he dies?

Download or read book Born in the Life Gene Borrello written by Louis Romano and published by Vecchia Publishing. This book was released on with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly edited and revamped edition of this True Crime Story: What does a real-life Mafia enforcer actually do on a day-to-day basis? Born in the Life illustrates Gene Borrello's profound treachery in the Bonanno crime family and the penalties he was forced to live with. Gene Borrello's story is not something that everyone has already heard or read about or has seen on various documentaries and dramatic cable shows on the history of the Mafia. Borrello's story is current day, not something from the days of Bugsy Siegel, Albert Anastasia, and Mayer Lansky or a Mario Puzzo compilation of the old days. The Borrello saga is about a thirty-six-year-old mob enforcer who was born into the life with the true nitty gritty, unglamorous street life that led to his being locked up for a third of his life until he finally said... enough.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXVII Francesco was no more able to understand Concetta's conduct than Ippolito himself. He had expected a very different termination to the affair, for he knew well enough that if the four peasants had caught him as Ippolito had, they would very probably have torn him limb from limb, in the most literal and barbarous sense of the word, in spite of any sympathy they might have felt for his family until then. He vaguely understood that Concetta had saved him for his dead brother's sake, and out of hatred for the Saracinesca; but there was a sort of reckless self-sacrifice in her act which it was beyond his cowardice and selfishness to comprehend. He rarely addressed the saints, but he inwardly thanked them for his safety as he rode round the outskirts of the village and the back of Taddeo's house. He was still in a tremor of fear, but he knew that he could easily twist and exaggerate the story of the ignominious beating he had received, and thereby account for his pallor and his nervousness. He knew that anything would be believed against the Saracinesca. It would be hard to give a single reason for his having chosen to come up to Santa Vittoria to find a lodging, when he had left Rome in order to see Aliandra in Randazzo. His timidity might have had something to do with his decision, making him prefer the village where he was sure of finding friends, whatever he might do, to the large town where there was no one upon whom he could count. He had also told Basili, when he had been to see him, that he had business in Santa Vittoria. Vaguely, too, he guessed that Tebaldo might know where he was and follow him. But he had not the slightest intention of doing any harm to the Saracinesca, of whom, in his heart, he had always been...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Corleone: A Tale of Sicily I mean to find something to do. Provided it is respect able, I do not care what it is. If I had talent, like you, I would be a musician, but I would not be an amateur, or I would be an artist, or a literary man. But I have no talent for anything except building tenement houses, and I shall not try that again. I would even be an actor, if I had the gift. Perhaps I should make a good farmer, but our father will not trust me now, for he is afraid that I should make ruinous experiments if he gave me the management of an estate. This is certainly not the time for experiments. Half the people we know are ruined, and the country is almost bank rupt. I do not wish to try experiments. I would work, and they tell me to marry. You cannot understand. You are only an amateur yourself, after all, Ippolito.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Italy and Sicily and the Rulers of the South From her Springs the lovely fable-allegory of the seed hidden in the earth, dead half the year and half the year alive again. For Of Demeter, by Zeus, was born Kore, the 'maiden, ' the girl Persephone, who played in Sicilian fields with maiden Athene and maiden -artemis, and each Chose a playground of her own. 'athene took Himera, on the north, for hers, and on the east Artemis Chose Ortygia in the sea; but Kore loved best the fruitful land of Enna in the island's heart, where violets grew so close and sweet that the Huntress's own hounds could follow no scent there, and the Chase ended among the flowers. There Kore wandered, gathering the violets to make a dark blue mantle for her father Zeus, the Sky-king; but though the meadows were SO fair, the gate of Hades was Close at hand, among the trees at the foot Of Enna's hill, and thence dark Pluton, master of hell, watched her with glowing eyes, and sprang forward at last and took her in his arms to bear her away. But when he was hard by Syracuse, the nymph Kyane, Kore's playmate, leapt lightly from the woods and stood in the way as he rushed along, and she prayed with all her heart for her friend's freedom, but could not move the raging god to mercy; so she sank to earth and was lost in her own tears, which made a deep translucent well, the most beautiful of all springs in the world to this day. After that Demeter went out to seek for her lost daughter, and lighted ietna's fires for a torch, but could not find her, for Kore had eaten the seed of the pomegranate in Pluton's house, and was wedded, and could only come back for half the year. Therefore Zeus gave her Sicily for a wed ding gift. By this is fabled the hiding of the seed in the earth, and its return to the upper world in leaf and flower.
