After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. One of her relatives was shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. Look for David Grann’s latest bestselling book, The Wager!

Download or read book Tex Murphy and the Tesla Effect written by Aaron Conners and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of "Tex Murphy and the Pandora Directive" and "Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon" comes the latest thrilling adventure in the series. Tex Murphy is an old-school P.I. living in the New San Francisco of 2043. He fancies himself hard-boiled, but is more like sunny-side up. He's also been known to get fried, scrambled and poached. He's just solved the biggest case of his life (so far) and actually got paid for it. After a romantic dinner with the lovely and elusive Chelsee Bando, Tex is in love, out of debt and on top of the world. What could possibly go wrong? When Tex wakes up, disoriented and head pounding, on the fire escape outside his office at the Ritz Hotel, he soon discovers that all his memories since that night with Chelsee have been erased. Years have passed and everything in Tex's life has changed. Old friends are hostile. Former enemies are now allies. And Chelsee is gone...maybe forever. Whoever did this could have given Tex a one-way ticket to zombie land by wiping his memory completely...but they didn't. There was something specific they wanted him to forget. But what? And who was behind it? The rival P.I. who was doing surveillance on Tex's office and turns up murdered? One of the mysterious characters racing to find a priceless collection of Nikola Tesla's documents and lost inventions? Or the shadowy organization that's made a fortune in cryonics - freezing (and, rumor has it, reanimating) dead bodies? Tex Murphy, the last of the old-school gumshoes, is on the case for himself this time. Motivated by lost love, revenge and the world's strongest coffee blend, Tex will need every bit of his questionable social skills, relatively quick thinking, blind luck and the ol' Murphy charm. Only by investigating his own past can Tex hope to regain his memory in time to solve the mysteries of the past and present and prevent a devastating future.

Book excerpt: There are no heroes anymore...only villains of varying degrees...From the author of "Tex Murphy and the Tesla Effect", "Tex Murphy and the Pandora Directive" and "Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon" comes the latest exciting adventure in the series.It's November, 2050 and Tex Murphy, P.I. is fresh off a mid-life crisis...but not the fun kind. First, his memory of the past seven years was mysteriously erased. Then he found out his dream girl, Chelsee, was long gone. And now his bank account-which got inexplicably fat during his lost years-is back to skin and bones.Fate has dealt Tex some lousy cards, but he has one ace in the hole. During his just-completed case, he turned up a secret bit of information worth a "king's ransom". Or so he was told by a new player in the game, the enigmatic Count St. Germain, who seemed more than ready to deal.But before Tex can determine what a king's ransom comes to in 2050 dollars, St. Germain raises the stakes: Tex has played a pivotal role in four potentially world-changing events over the past thirteen years (six, depending on your definition of "world-changing") and St. Germain suspects this hasn't happened by accident; a "Man Behind the Curtain" has made Tex an unwitting pawn in an unknown game. And it all seems to have started during Tex's very first case.With St. Germain's unique assistance, Tex travels into the past, recounting the story of his first case, back in 2037. Together, they find new connections between all of Tex's cases and pick up the trail of the unknown puppet master. A shocking discovery awaits about what happened all those years ago...and how those events are about to change Tex's future.

Book excerpt: Private investigator Ross Marshall has a special talent for tracking—a talent that has helped him locate missing persons when the police’s trail has gone cold. Now his current case has led him to a body buried in an isolated rural area—and a serial killer who is looking for a new victim. But while gathering evidence for the police, something goes very wrong… The last thing genetic researcher Megan Sheridan expected was to discover her client shot and unconscious. Ross Marshall had requested her lab to run genetic tests on him, but instead of taking a blood sample, Megan found herself tending his wounds. Although frightened by the secrets she knows he is hiding, Megan is compelled to him by a force she can’t explain—or resist. Ross tries to deny the ancient instincts clamoring for him to take Megan as his mate, for to do so would sentence her to a lifetime of sorrow. But now Ross has an even more urgent reason to stay away from Megan: the killer that he’d been hunting has turned the tables—and is now hunting him…

Download or read book The Horror Sensorium written by Angela Ndalianis and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-10-03 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horror films, books and video games engage their audiences through combinations of storytelling practices, emotional experiences, cognitive responses and physicality that ignite the sensorium--the sensory mechanics of the body and the intellectual and cognitive functions connected to them. Through analyses of various mediums, this volume explores how the horror genre affects the mind and body of the spectator. Works explored include the films 28 Days Later and Death Proof, the video games Resident Evil 4 and Doom 3, the theme park ride The Revenge of the Mummy, transmedia experiences associated with The Dark Knight and True Blood, and paranormal romance novels featuring Anita Blake and Sookie Stackhouse. By examining how these diverse media generate medium-specific corporeal and sensory responses, it reveals how the sensorium interweaves sensory and intellectual encounters to produce powerful systems of perception.

Download or read book Adventure Games written by Aaron A. Reed and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genre of adventure games is frequently overlooked. Lacking the constantly-evolving graphics and graphic violence of their counterparts in first-person and third-person shooters or role-playing games, they are often marketed to and beloved by players outside of mainstream game communities. While often forgotten by both the industry and academia, adventure games have had (and continue to have) a surprisingly wide influence on contemporary games, in categories including walking simulators, hidden object games, visual novels, and bestselling titles from companies like Telltale and Campo Santo. In this examination of heirs to the genre's legacy, the authors examine the genre from multiple perspectives, connecting technical analysis with critical commentary and social context. This will be the first book to consider this important genre from a comprehensive and transdisciplinary perspective. Drawing upon methods from platform studies, software studies, media studies, and literary studies, they reveal the genre's ludic and narrative origins and patterns, where character (and the player's embodiment of a character) is essential to the experience of play and the choices within a game. A deep structural analysis of adventure games also uncovers an unsteady balance between sometimes contradictory elements of story, exploration, and puzzles: with different games and creators employing a multitude of different solutions to resolving this tension.
