A Door Behind A Door
Author: Yelena Moskovich
Publisher: Two Dollar Radio
ISBN: 1953387039
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
"A Door Behind a Door is loose, dreamy, and symbol-packed... The resurfacing of characters from Olga’s past in her new city speaks to the theme of immigration in the novel, of new homes and the passage from old to new—a passage that is perhaps not ever fully complete in the sense that the past cannot be shaken." —Marta Balcewicz, Ploughshares In Yelena Moskovich's spellbinding new novel, A Door Behind A Door, we meet Olga, who immigrates as part of the Soviet diaspora of ’91 to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There she grows up and meets a girl and falls in love, beginning to believe that she can settle down. But a phone call from a bad man from her past brings to life a haunted childhood in an apartment building in the Soviet Union: an unexplained murder in her block, a supernatural stray dog, and the mystery of her beloved brother Moshe, who lost an eye and later vanished. We get pulled into Olga’s past as she puzzles her way through an underground Midwestern Russian mafia, in pursuit of a string of mathematical stabbings.

Naked and Alone
Author: Lawrence Lariar
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 150405749X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
Johnny Amsterdam, Manhattan’s toughest private dick, takes it hard when his favorite nightclub chanteuse books a playdate with murder. When popular cartoonist Lawrence Lariar decided to moonlight as a mystery writer, creating comic book artist turned amateur sleuth Homer Bull was a natural. From the 1940s through the 1960s, Lariar continued to switch from sketching caricatures to sketchy characters, writing hardboiled crime fiction under his own name as well as the pseudonyms Michael Stark, Adam Knight, Michael Lawrence, and Marston La France, and creating a series of memorable gumshoes. Now his classic whodunits are available as ebooks. Working out of Times Square, PI Johnny Amsterdam has met a lot of endangered hard-luck souls. Warbler Kay Randall wasn’t one of them. With the looks and voice of an angel, she didn’t deserve a knife in the heart as a swan song. Only when Amsterdam sets out to find her killer, does he realize the sweet recording star might have had a flip side. How else can he explain such a bevy of gal-pals? Like Jordice, a swinging hat check girl who could be bringing out the worst in any number of men; Serena, a kinky, hopped-up, trigger-happy nightmare in black lace who likes to play rough; and Norma—freaky, painted like a doll, perpetually pickled, and dancing with death, she digs morticians. From grungy Greenwich Village pads to the dicey Brooklyn piers, lone wolf Johnny Amsterdam is on the prowl. But this is New York after dark. He’s also the prey. Naked and Alone is the 1st book in the PI Johnny Amsterdam Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Pages : 164
Book Description
OVER THIRTY YEARS AFTER its publication, Fort Apache: New Yorks Most Violent Precinct remains the definitive account of the vicious cycle of violence that has griped urban America over the past century. A swollen head floating down the Bronx River, a junkie murdered for stealing a womans wig, a French Connection-style chase through blind alleys, police barricaded inside their precinct as a wild mob lays siege to the station and, above all, mindless violence that seemed to erupt in profusion for no apparent reason against the cops who faithfully served and cared deeply about the neighborhood that was rapidly imploding.
