Book Description
Wisecracking reporter Dixie Flynn thinks fast and talks even faster—it’s the only way to survive the San Francisco crime beat. When she’s assigned to look into the death of her former lover, artist Diego Chino, Dixie’s instincts tell her there’s more behind the apparent suicide than the police are letting on. Dixie’s canvassing of the Bay Area art district reveals it to be a perfect picture of corruption, with a handsome art dealer and a reclusive patron in the foreground. After a romantic evening in Chinatown ends in a brush with death, Dixie is more determined than ever to expose the truth. But when a fire in her vicinity turns out to be more than just performance art, it’s clear the perpetrators would rather see Dixie dead than let her destroy their criminal masterpiece. Praise: "Under a sort-of-pseudonym, thriller writer Grant McKenzie offers the first of a planned series featuring wisecracking Dixie, with a fast-paced combination of violence and sex and a game-changing twist at the end."—Kirkus Reviews "With lots of action, colorful characters, and a surprising plot twist, this is an endearing series debut that will have readers eager for Dixie to solve more cases."—Booklist "The book is a fun murder-mystery filled with action, humour and intrigue—written in first-person-female perspective, which is something unexpected from a male author."—Victoria News (Canada) "Angel with a Bullet is part gritty detective novel, part chick lit with a fast paced and a wise-cracking reporter."—The Mystery Reader "If you have a taste for vintage crime fiction, screwball comedies, and the lighter side of noir, Angel With a Bullet might be right up your alley."—Victoria Janssen for Criminal Element “A terrific novelist!” —Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Girl “Grant McKenzie (aka M. C. Grant) really knows how to make a story move.”—Linwood Barclay, international bestselling author of No Time for Goodbye

Pages : 366
Book Description
A shifter sliced her wings away…and now an angel is trapped in hell. Or, trapped in the mortal realm. Same thing. Because to former angel Marna, living with the humans and the other paranormal beings is hell. A savage attack took her wings away, and all she wants to do is get revenge. Angels aren’t supposed to want revenge. They aren’t supposed to hate. They aren’t supposed to feel any emotion. But without her wings, Marna is powerless against the onslaught of human emotions that are bombarding her. She’s losing her control. She’s terrified. She’s desperate and… He wants to protect her. Panther shifter Tanner Chance wants to protect Marna. He found her in the woods after his own brother sliced away her beautiful wings. Tanner knows that Marna hates him, and all he wants to do is help her to heal. Unfortunately, Marna is being framed for a series of attacks and, as a cop, his job is to arrest her. But how the hell do you throw a fallen angel into jail? Simple. You don’t. You do team up with the angel and start trying to find the real killer. And that’s Tanner’s plan. Find the real killer. Clear Marna. But as they rush through the night and dodge the danger that chases them, Tanner’s inner beast recognizes Marna for what she really is…his mate. He craves her, he needs her…and he will do anything to claim her as his. He’d claw his way to heaven and rip his way through hell in order to possess her. Marna shouldn’t want Tanner. She shouldn’t feel the needs and lusts raging through her body. But when Tanner teaches her just how intense pleasure can feel, she starts to realize that maybe there is more to the man guarding her than just the beast he carries. And maybe…maybe there’s more to her than just being a lost angel. AVENGING ANGEL was originally released by Kensington Publishing in June of 2013. The book features an innocent angel who is about to be taught all about the virtues of sin by one very determined panther shifter. Hope you enjoy the paranormal ride.

The Better Angel
Author: Roy Morris
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019802889X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
For nearly three years, Walt Whitman immersed himself in the devastation of the Civil War, tending to thousands of wounded soldiers and recording his experiences with an immediacy and compassion unequaled in wartime literature anywhere in the world. In The Better Angel, acclaimed biographer Roy Morris, Jr. gives us the fullest account of Whitman's profoundly transformative Civil War years and an historically invaluable examination of the Union's treatment of its sick and wounded. Whitman was mired in depression as the war began, subsisting on journalistic hackwork, his "great career" as a poet apparently stalled. But when news came that his brother George had been wounded at Fredericksburg, Whitman rushed south to find him. Deeply affected by his first view of the war's casualties, he began visiting the camp's wounded and found his calling for the duration of the war. Three years later, he emerged as the war's "most unlikely hero," a living symbol of American democratic ideals of sharing and brotherhood. Brilliantly researched and beautifully written, The Better Angel explores a side of Whitman not fully examined before, one that greatly enriches our understanding of his later poetry. Moreover, it gives us a vivid and unforgettable portrait of the "other army"--the legions of sick and wounded soldiers who are usually left in the shadowy background of Civil War history--seen here through the unflinching eyes of America's greatest poet.

Angel of Vengeance
Author: Ana Siljak
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429960841
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 605
Book Description
In the Russian winter of 1878 a shy, aristocratic young woman named Vera Zasulich walked into the office of the governor of St. Petersburg, pulled a revolver from underneath her shawl, and shot General Fedor Trepov point blank. "Revenge!," she cried, for the governor's brutal treatment of a political prisoner. Her trial for murder later that year became Russia's "trial of the century," closely followed by people all across Europe and America. On the day of the trial, huge crowds packed the courtroom. The cream of Russian society, attired in the finery of the day, arrived to witness the theatrical testimony and deliberations in the case of the young angel of vengeance. After the trial, Vera became a celebrated martyr for all social classes in Russia and became the public face of a burgeoning revolutionary fervor. Dostoyevsky (who attended the trial), Turgenev, Engels, and even Oscar Wilde all wrote about her extraordinary case. Her astonishing acquittal was celebrated across Europe, crowds filled the streets and the decision marked the changing face of Russia. After fleeing to Switzerland, Vera Zasulich became Russia's most famous "terroristka," inspiring a whole generation of Russian and European revolutionaries to embrace violence and martyrdom. Her influence led to a series of acts that collectively became part of "the age of assassinations." In the now-forgotten story of Russia's most notorious terrorist, Ana Siljak captures Vera's extraordinary life story--from privileged child of nobility to revolutionary conspirator, from assassin to martyr to socialist icon and saint-- while colorfully evoking the drama of one of the world's most closely watched trials and a Russia where political celebrities held sway.
