Book excerpt: After losing his starting position as a college quarterback to a shoulder injury, Nick Gallow has remade himself as a punter. Now in his fifth year in the pros with the Philadelphia Sentinels, Nick spends most of his time on the sidelines. He no longer makes winning plays, and when the team visits a hospital, the sick kids would rather talk to the players they've actually heard of. But Nick is unexpectedly thrust back into the spotlight when he witnesses the murder of the new all-star draft pick on the eve of the team's summer minicamp. Nick has no plans to get involved. Despite the murder, his focus is squarely on an uppity rookie player eyeing his roster spot. But after a second attack hits closer to home and the police go after the wrong man, Nick finds himself driven by the chance to be a hero again. In Hangman's Game, Syken offers a seasoned sportswriter's take on the contemporary culture of football and the will to play on despite the game's toll on the body and mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning author Laura Joh Rowland, a story about the darkness that lurks within and the deadly secrets that beg to be revealed. Intrepid photographer Sarah Bain and her motley crew of friends are back to hunt criminals in the dark, seedy underbelly of Victorian London, but little do they know, the darkness may lurk closer than they first divined. Photographer Sarah Bain and her friends Lord Hugh Staunton and sometime street urchin Mick O’Reilly are private detectives with a new gig—photographing crime scenes for London’s Daily World newspaper. The Daily World is the latest business venture of their sole client, Sir Gerald Mariner, a fabulously wealthy and powerful banker. One cold, snowy January morning, Sarah, Hugh, and Mick are summoned to the goriest crime scene they’ve ever encountered. A pub owner named Harry Warbrick has been found hanged and decapitated amid evidence of foul play. His murder becomes a sensation because he was England’s top hangman and he’s met the same fate that he inflicted on hundreds of criminals. Sir Gerald announces that the Daily World—meaning Sarah and her friends—will investigate and solve Harry Warbrick’s murder before the police do. The contest pits Sarah against the man she loves, Police Constable Barrett. She and her friends discover a connection between Harry Warbrick’s murder and the most notorious criminal he ever executed—Amelia Carlisle, the “Baby-Butcher,” who murdered hundreds of infants placed in her care. Something happened at Amelia’s execution. The Official Secrets Act forbids the seven witnesses present to divulge any information about it. But Harry had a bad habit of leaking tips to the press. Sarah and her friends suspect that one of the other witnesses killed Harry to prevent him from revealing a secret related to the execution. What is the secret, and who hanged the hangman?

Download or read book Kill Them with Kindness written by Timo Publishing and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-24 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hangman Hangman is a classic word game that is played in a similar way to the popular TV show 'Wheel of Fortune.' Instructions: This is a game for two players, a host and a guesser.The host chooses a word or short phrase and the guesser must guess it before the unfortunate character is 'hanged'We give you 24 letter spaces. The host should black out the unneeded spaces, leaving the correct number for their word. If they choose a phrase, they should also black out the spaces between the words of the phrase.The guesser begins to guess letters. For example, they may ask "Is there an A in this word?"If that letter is in the word, the host writes in all the places it appears.If that letter does not appear, the host fills out a dotted line on the hangman diagram.At any point, the guesser may guess the word. If they are incorrect, another line is filled out on the hangman.If the hangman is completed (which takes six missed guesses), the guesser has lost. If the guesser guesses the word correctly before the hangman is completed, they win.Variation - if you're playing with children who might need more guesses, they can also draw a sad face on the hangman.A great way to niche hangman is by adding themed word lists at the back of the book for the host to choose from. For example, animal words, technical jargon or words in a different language. Hangman is a popular game to play in school because it helps kids to practice spelling.Be aware that some people do not enjoy the visual imagery of Hangman. If you enjoy creating your own interiors, you can make other simple diagrams such as snowmen, fruit trees or cars.

Download or read book Gender Genre and Identity in Women s Travel Writing written by Kristi Siegel and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women experience and portray travel differently: Gender matters - irreducibly and complexly. Building on recent scholarship in women's travel writing, these provocative essays not only affirm the impact of gender, but also cast women's journeys against coordinates such as race, class, culture, religion, economics, politics, and history. The book's scope is unique: Women travelers extend in time from Victorian memsahibs to contemporary «road girls», and topics range from Anna Leonowens's slanted portrayal of Siam - later popularized in the movie, The King and I, to current feminist «descripting» of the male-road-buddy genre. The extensive array of writers examined includes Nancy Prince, Frances Trollope, Cameron Tuttle, Lady Mary Montagu, Catherine Oddie, Kate Karko, Frances Calderón de la Barca, Rosamond Lawrence, Zilpha Elaw, Alexandra David-Néel, Amelia Edwards, Erica Lopez, Paule Marshall, Bharati Mukherjee, and Marilynne Robinson.
