Luke, Stone, AB, Johnny, Fat Hands, Mak and the rest of the crew are back for another foray into the seedy underworld of the Famiglia Fabrasia. Mak, the ex-FBI agent, blackmails Luke Fabrasia, the head of the famed Fabrasia crime family. Luke, whose unknown, until recently, half brother and FBI agent Joe Stone turned family informant, is put between a rock and a hard place by his ex-officemate Mak. The counterfeiting scheme devised by the two now-dead MIT students has run its course; and Mak needs more money, that is, real money, not counterfeit money. Luke has come up with an intricate plan to satisfy Mak, protect his newly found brother, and save his number 1 captain, AB, from prison as well as eliminate an old family foe, Gino Campanelli. The plan has many twists and turns but not how Luke and the boys designed it. If you were surprised by the ending of the first installment, then brace yourself. This story has an unpredictable ending you won't see coming.

Download or read book An Amateur s Guide to the Night written by Mary Robison and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mary Robison's short stories are short, subtle, and substantial . . . Her ironic sense of detail bursts from every sentence." —Vogue An Amateur's Guide to the Night stands as a perfect example of Mary Robison's beloved narrative style: purposeful, clipped, and devastating in its restraint. Reflecting on the life of disaffected youth, these stories speculate on how they often manage to remain deferent towards the rest of society—and document how spectacularly they often fail. "These thirteen stories are glimpses from a moving train into lit parlors, dinettes, bedrooms and dens . . . Think of Robison as the engineer, blowing the whistle, calling the stops and starts; invisible when you want to ask her why we're stalled here in the middle of nowhere, between stations, jobs, relationships and decisions." —Los Angeles Times

Download or read book Mission to Novgorod written by Don L Clark and published by Don L Clark. This book was released on 2004-04 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mission to Novgorod begins in Moscow at the height of the Cold War when, due to the confluence of unusual circumstances, an expert at the sophisticated art of electronic snooping is asked to kill a fellow American in the name of national security. Reluctantly agreeing, a hastily trained USAF Major Tom Collins (yes, it's his real name; his dad was an alcoholic) survives a dangerous underwater journey down the Volkhov River and arrives at the Kremlin in the ancient city of Novgord. There he finds his prey in the act of being raped by one of her Soviet guards. Tom places the sight of his sniper weapon on the victim's chest and.the proverbial the rest of the story begins. Mission peels back the thin veneer of honor and respect with which the spy game cloaks itself and reveals the underside of that dubious venture: the lies, the perfidy, and the misdirection that can so readily turn good souls into bad. It also is a story of courage, forbearance and sacrifice as our two heroes match wits and perseverance with the guys who should be on their side but are not because of what they consider a greater calling.

Book excerpt: Carl Mosley awakens from a very realistic and bothersome dream, which he shares immediately with his older brother, Roy. Due to the detailed, emotional nature of the dream, though, Carl begins to wonder if somehow his memory has been altered. Is it possible the dream he had was his real life and he now lives a waking lie? Soon, the brothers cross the path of a time traveler. He is hell bent on manipulating the past to further his self-righteous agenda, but to do so he requires the help of Carl and Roy. The brothers agree to travel into the recent past, where they meet strange and zany characters with much to offer in the realm of self-reflection. For the Mosley brothers, their lives become unrecognizable overnight, due to alterations in the past. Their fellow time traveler just might be a madman. Still, the fault is not all his. Messing with the past in order to change the future has the potential for good, but for Carl and Roy, they must learn the hard way: the past is better left alone.

Download or read book The Practical Sanskrit English Dictionary written by Vaman Shivaram Apte and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publishe. This book was released on 1998 with total page 1808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Dictionary has been undertaken to supply a want long felt by the student, f a complete and at the same time cheap Sanskrit-English Dictionary. Very little need, I think, be said with regard to the necessity of bringing out a work like this, when the study of Sanskrit has received such a strong impetus during the last twenty five years. There have been four or five Sanskrit-English Dictionaries published till now; but very few of them fulfil the two essential conditions of the popularity and usefulness of such works: satisfying all the requirements of students and at the same time being within their easy reach. The Dictionaries of Professors Wilson and Monier Williams are very useful and valuable works, but their prices-particularly of the latter-are prohibitively high, and they do not also meet many of the most ordinary wants of Sanskrit readers. A student, while reading Sanskrit at School or College, generally expects that the Dictionary which he uses will give will give appropriate equivalents for such words and compound expressions as may have peculiar meanings or shades of meaning in particular passages.

Download or read book Find a Way written by Diana Nyad and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW THE NETFLIX FILM NYAD, STARRING ANNETTE BENING AND JODIE FOSTER Hillary Clinton said that Find a Way would stay with her through the general election: “When you’re facing big challenges in your life, you can think about Diana Nyad getting attacked by the lethal sting of box jellyfishes. And nearly anything else seems doable in comparison.” When Diana Nyad arrived on the shore of Key West after fifty-three hours of grueling swimming across an epic ocean, she not only set a world record—becoming the first person to swim the shark-infested waters between Cuba and Florida with no cage for protection—she also succeeded in fulfilling a dream she first chased at age twenty-eight and at long last achieved when she was sixty-four. Now, in a riveting memoir, Diana shares a spirited account of what it takes to face one’s fears, engage one’s passions, and never ever give up. For no matter what life may throw at you, or how many times you may have experienced defeat, it is always possible—as long as you commit to living life to the nth degree, no regrets—to “find a way."

Download or read book Clark and Division written by Naomi Hirahara and published by Soho Press. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Best Mystery Novel of 2021 Set in 1944 Chicago, Edgar Award-winner Naomi Hirahara’s eye-opening and poignant new mystery, the story of a young woman searching for the truth about her revered older sister's death, brings to focus the struggles of one Japanese American family released from mass incarceration at Manzanar during World War II. Chicago, 1944: Twenty-year-old Aki Ito and her parents have just been released from Manzanar, where they have been detained by the US government since the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, together with thousands of other Japanese Americans. The life in California the Itos were forced to leave behind is gone; instead, they are being resettled two thousand miles away in Chicago, where Aki’s older sister, Rose, was sent months earlier and moved to the new Japanese American neighborhood near Clark and Division streets. But on the eve of the Ito family’s reunion, Rose is killed by a subway train. Aki, who worshipped her sister, is stunned. Officials are ruling Rose’s death a suicide. Aki cannot believe her perfect, polished, and optimistic sister would end her life. Her instinct tells her there is much more to the story, and she knows she is the only person who could ever learn the truth. Inspired by historical events, Clark and Division infuses an atmospheric and heartbreakingly real crime with rich period details and delicately wrought personal stories Naomi Hirahara has gleaned from thirty years of research and archival work in Japanese American history.
