Download or read book Goya Lane written by Rich Jackson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When detective Hidaka investigates the murder of a young, Tokyo student, he recognizes it as the handiwork of Misaki Okano, the Saitama Murderer. Okano first came under police scrutiny as a member of Aum Shinrikiyo, the urban terrorist group that released Sarin gas in the Tokyo subway system. He was one of four who escaped through the labyrinthine, complex subway beneath the city. Goya Lane was inspired by the bombing of Japan in 1945 and the clear and present reality of a looming nuclear winter. In a growing climate of jihadist terrorism, ethnic fascism and geopolitical aggression, the world is in a race to acquire and stockpile nukes. The flashpoint will occur when radical extremists finally come into possession of a three-phase, stratospheric missile. That will be the last jihad. In Goya Lane, that reality is addressed. While in pursuit of Tokyos infamous Saitama Murderer and child abductor Misaki Okano, detective Hidaka and Captain Saito come up against Ryodan, a radical terrorist group dedicated to avenging Japans loss of imperial glory in the wake of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In the extensive, underground railway systems of Tokyo, the largest in the world, the two men discover a society of third-generation bomb survivors, governed by the strict, jihadist-like control of Ryodan. The capture of Okano becomes all the more critical when it is discovered that he and his Ryodan counterparts have come into possession of a nuclear warhead. With forty-eight hours to locate the device, the detectives embark on a harrowing, underground odyssey. The time frame for detective Hidaka becomes all the more critical when he learns that his own daughter has just gone missing and the evidence points to Misaki Okano, the Saitama Murderer.

Book excerpt: While investigating a homicide in an upscale section of Portland, Detective Ramos finds an envelope that connects the murder to his home town of Portillo, Mexico. Two days later, he and his partner, Mai Hidaka, are called to a car bombing in an equally exclusive part of the city. When a connection is made between the two murders, they find themselves embroiled in a dangerous war between rival drug cartels. As the mystery intensifies and the body count mounts, the two detectives follow clues to the border town of Portillo, a town that has special significance for Ramos and hides a dark secret from his past. It is the town of his birth and the place where, as an eleven-year-old boy, he found his mother and sister brutally murdered by cartel members. The story opens with eleven-year-old Armando tracking the two murderers through the Chihuahua Desert and executing them with a single shot of a .22-caliber rifle. He crosses the border with an older woman who, likewise, was the victim of cartel violence and takes him north to Portland, Oregon.

Download or read book Art Books written by Wolfgang M. Freitag and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997. For this second edition of Art Books: A Basic Bibliography of Monographs on Artists, the vast number of new books published since 1985 was surveyed and evaluated. This has resulted in the selection of 3,395 additional titles. These selections, reflective of the increase in the monographic literature on artists during the last ten years, are evidence of the activities of a larger number of art historians in more countries worldwide, of the increasingly diverse and ambitious exhibition programs of museums whose number has also increased dramatically, and also of a lively international art market and the attendant gallery activities. The selections of the first edition have been reviewed, errors have been corrected and important new editions and reprints have been noted. The second edition contains 278 names of artists not represented in the first edition.
Download or read book The Art of Frenzy written by Jane Kromm and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of Frenzy presents a masterful analysis of public madness from the Renaissance to the Industrial Age. Frenzy--the most flagrant and political form of madness--is the madness of warrior-heroes, kings, scolds, and the possessed. Its representation incorporates a range of traditional characters and figures, from Hercules and Orlando to Medea and Britannia. Understood as abusive power and belligerence out of control, and described in terms drawn equally from definitions of tyranny and liberty, frenzy has always been articulated with a significant degree of political meaning. Integrating art history with cultural studies, political history, and the history of medicine, Jane Kromm draws on a wide range of mediums and contexts--from asylum sculpture to political broadsheets, medical texts, the imagery of revolution, caricature and medical illustrations--to clarify the importance of this interpretative pattern.
