Download or read book A Fifth of Bruen written by Ken Bruen and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of novellas and stories from Shamus Award winner Ken Bruen, author of the Jack Taylor series and the “godfather of the modern Irish crime novel” (The Irish Times). An Irishman with an ebullient love of life draws inspiration from the literature and poetry of death. A born loser with an “ex-wife, an ex-child, and no excuses” accompanies his alcoholic brother on a startling plunge into liberating despair. A self-styled vigilante avenges the death of his wife and child by waging a one-man war against the London underworld. A whiskey-sotted cleric sets out to battle his sexual demons with a resolve that borders on the malevolent. “Nobody writes like Ken Bruen,” says the New York Times Book Review, and here, the author of The Emerald Lie and The Guards offers a taste of his wide-ranging skills. With his acrid barstool wit, literary allusions, and gut-punching twists, Bruen captures the Irish state of mind with bracing authenticity. Now, enthusiasts of his long-running series featuring Irish PI Jack Taylor—seven of which have been adapted for the screen—and new fans alike can discover Bruen’s early works in an omnibus shaded with the crazy, violent, and melancholy poetry that has become his trademark. Hailed by the Los Angeles Book Review as one of “the most original and innovative noir voices of the last two decades,” Bruen is a two-time Shamus Award winner, an Edgar Award finalist, and a recipient of the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière. A Fifth of Bruen includes: Funeral: Tales of Irish Morbidities, Martyrs, Shades of Grace, Sherry and Other Stories, All the Old Songs and Nothing to Lose, and The Time of Serena May &Upon the Third Cross.
Download or read book 47th Street Black written by Bayo Ojikutu and published by Crown. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prize-winning debut of an incendiary new voice in contemporary American fiction, 47th Street Black is the story of JC and Mookie, whose rise in the gangster-driven ghettos of Chicago is as swift as it is brutal. In the early sixties, 47th street is the heart of black Chicago, where recent migrants from the South come to move up in the world. JC and Mookie are high school dropouts, playing stickball in the street when they stumble upon the dead body of the area's black liaison to the mafia. Where others would run, Mookie sees opportunity, and in no time he and JC are working for Salvie, the local boss. Within a year, they are the most infamous figures on 47th Street, best friends and partners with flashy cars, clothes, and women. As they alternate telling their stories, the balance of power shifts: smooth, charismatic Mookie becomes the de facto leader and small, violent JC the enforcer—roles that send JC to jail for a murder they commit together. In the 15 years he's away, JC gains an education and a resentment he can't control, while Mookie gains power over the entire South Side. By the time JC is paroled, both the neighborhood and the two men's lives are on an inexorable path to an explosive confrontation with simmering injustice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From USA Today Bestselling Author, Morgan Jane Mitchell comes the next installment in her Royal Bastards MC: Nashville, TN, Lovin Opry. I'm Leo, just nineteen. I ain't got nobody or nothin', except for the skin I'm in and the moves I make on the pole at the Royal Bastards MC clubhouse, Royal Road. My life's all about neon lights, body glitter, and dreams that spin 'round fast. But everything gets twisted when I start catchin' feelings for Opry, my boss - the tatted up, cowboy-hat-wearing biker twice my age. Me and Opry? We ain't your typical couple. It's a "situationship", like twerking to a steel guitar- seems all wrong but feels so right. A dom with a taste for a world of kink, the biker's as tough and tantalizing as an unsolved mystery. And boy, has he got commitment issues. Lovin’ Opry’s a tough ride, but this gal right here is all about the thrill. The catch? He doesn't vibe with me outside our shared bedroom. Our convos are like tryna blend country twang with a hip-hop beat. When he starts acting all distant, like he's losin' interest, I hit the road. I thought I could just peace out, leave the cowboy in my rearview. Thought I could ghost the biker who's little bark and all bite. I should have known better. Name's Opry. Got this young firecracker, Leo, lightin' up our stage, movin' like a wild storm under the club lights. The little filly gets under my skin, makes a home there, and just when I think I got a handle on things, it all goes to hell. I've been around, seen things that'd make most men quake, and it's hardened me. I've ridden with the reaper, stared down danger more times than I can count, but the depth of my feelings for Leo? Terrifying. She senses me pullin' away, and just like that, she's gone. Thought I could let her go, let her become a memory, drowned out by the rumble of this fast life. But once her laughter stops echoing through my clubhouse, I’m punched with a hurt worse than a busted rib - I miss the hell out of my little dancer. Come New Year's Eve, I know I gotta get her back. Don't matter what it takes, I gotta make it right, bring her back into my world, our world. Whether she likes it or not.
