Book excerpt: A wickedly funny private eye novel set in the dark underbelly of New York City, where the worlds of Broadway and organized crime meet When it comes to tracking down teen runaways, there is no private investigator in New York City better than streetwise Benji Golden. But his newest client is Morrie Frankel, the last of the great Broadway showmen. Morrie's current extravaganza, a lavish $65 million musical adaptation of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, is the biggest unfolding disaster the Great White Way has ever seen. Rumor has it, if he doesn't find a deep-pocketed "angel," or investor, soon, he might go down and take the production with him. Morrie thought he had found such an investor in hedge fund billionaire R.J. Farnell, who promised to keep the teetering production afloat. But Farnell and his $12 million have vanished. Benji tracks Farnell to his girlfriend, Jonquil Beausoleil, who turns the investigation on its head. When Morrie is found gunned down on 42nd Street, Benji finds himself smack in the middle of a high-profile murder investigation, and he'll have to pierce through a lot of Broadway gossip before he can find the killer. Phantom Angel is the next entertaining installment in David Handler's newest mystery series, sure to delight both old and new fans of this award--winning, unique voice in crime fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French author Gaston Leroux unknowingly created a timeless and powerful character in his Erik, the Phantom of the Opera. Movies, books and musicals have retold the original tale, enhancing it with a sparse tease of detail that we may glimpse the tortured life of Erik. As outstanding as these renditions prove to be, there seems to be so many unanswered questions. The Angel of Music is an account of the very private adventures of Erik in his quest to love and be loved. As brilliant and gifted as he is, he cannot convey his feelings to Christine properly. Frustrated to the point of violence, his fantasy of a beautiful life with her is shattered and he despairs into his last breath. The nightingale that rescues him and loves him back to life is rewarded with a romantic adventure of epic proportions. Herein lies the testament of the Angel of Music and his beloved Christine.

Download or read book How to Live Forever written by Maurice S. Rawlings and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barring devastating accidents and disseminated cancer, man usually dies because of the failure of just one organ. Theoretically, through progressive replacement of failing organs, man could live forever and veritably spout the fountain of youth for the first time in history. However, a critical four-hour survival time between organ donor and recipient is a limiting factor for making organ replacement feasible. To start the fountain flowing, to offer transplantation on demand, and to anticipate over-flowing demands, would require one of the greatest discoveries of the decade-a simple means for organ preservation. Through meticulous research and happenstance, Dr. Frederick Middleton does indeed discover a unique freeze-dry formula to preserve organs without fracturing the cell walls, so invariably typical of any freezing or thawing process. But, as with all things good, a profiteering underworld soon corrupts the organ exchange business, garnering fortunes from trusting recipients who hopefully would give most anything they own for one just more fling at life. Within this milieu, this struggle for life, lies a stream of patients whose heart-rending stories question traditional concepts for dealing with the dying. UPDATED BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Maurice S.

Download or read book Ghost Stories by British and American Women written by Lynette Carpenter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1998 and covering a tradition ignored by most critics, this bibliography assembles and documents a large body of supernatural fiction written by women in English from the end of the 18th century to the present. These stories, the work of women whose literary reputations, personal histories, and bodies of work vary widely, challenge the narrow way in which supernatural literature has traditionally been regarded: they indicate a much richer and more complex set of literary responses to the supernatural than has been hitherto acknowledged. The writers included range from Ann Radcliffe and the Gothic novelists to Louisa May Alcott, Charlotte Gilman, and Edith Wharton to such modern writers as Elizabeth Bowen, Jean Rhys, Muriel Spark, and A.S. Byatt. The volume will be of interest to literary and cultural historians and of particular importance to women's studies scholars.

Book excerpt: We all have challenges, sorrows, and troubles, but it's possible to turn any adverse situation around when you're teaming up with the Lord. In this guide, a career pastor and prophet explores some of the doubts, fears, and perplexities he has experienced throughout life--and reveals how he has relied on the power of the Holy Spirit to find answers, comfort, strength, and guidance. In GodStrong, he explains how you can use doubt to strengthen your faith, profit from life's traumatic experiences, and partner with God to build momentum and achieve your goals. You won't get anywhere in life by relying on a church-made, miracle-manic "god" that loathes the self-dependent and rationally spiritual. By understanding that success is dependent on the powers of self-reliance rather than on naive expectations of divine miracles, you can discover how to be a true champion of God. Cherish the independence and freedom inherent in direct guidance from the creator, and then do the hard work that's necessary to achieve your objectives. Turn your pains into personal gains by being GodStrong.

Download or read book Where Tigers are at Home written by Jean-Marie Blas de Robles and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 831 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Prix Médicis, this multifaceted literary novel follows the Jesuit scholar Athanasius Kircher across 17th century Europe and Eleazard von Wogau, a retired French correspondent, through modern Brazil. When Eleazard begins editing a strange, unpublished biography of Kircher, the rest of his life seems to begin unraveling—his ex-wife goes on a dangerous geological expedition to Mato Grosso; his daughter abandons school to travel with her young professor and her lesbian lover to an indigenous beach town, where the trio use drugs and form interdependent sexual relationships; and Eleazard himself starts losing his sanity, escalated by loneliness, and his work on the biography. Patterns begin to emerge from these interwoven narratives, which develop toward a mesmerizing climax. Shortlisted for the Goncourt Prize and the European Book Award, and already translated into 14 languages, Where Tigers Are At Home is large-scale epic, at once literary and entertaining, that belongs in the company of Umberto Eco and Haruki Murakami.
