Book Description
Nothing stays dead in New Orleans. Not for long, anyway… No one knows this better than ex-district attorney Danny Chaisson—the dead show up in his bathroom mirror every morning, staring right back at him with hollow eyes. Chaisson is the legman for Jimmy Boudrieux, speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives, for whom dirty dealing is more than just a way of life. So when Danny makes his regular pick-up of a briefcase full of handguns at a downtown Vietnamese restaurant, leaves the room for a moment, and returns to find a bloodbath, he knows the next bullet has his name on it. And nobody—least of all Boudrieux or the crooked cops who control the NOPD—is going to lift a finger to help him. From the bestselling author of Bait: “A scorcher . . . clever, tough and terrific enough to make you comb publishers’ lists for his next.”—Time Out

The Captain's Doll
Author: D. H. Lawrence
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
The novella "The Captain's Doll" is a romance story set in both Germany and England. It revolves around the illicit romance of a fallen German aristocrat Countess Johanna 'Hannele' zu Rassentlow as she dates an English naval officer with an unusual philosophy, Captain Alexander Hepburn. The intimate relationship between the two is however intruded upon when the captain's wife Evangeline travels to Germany suspicious of foul play. Heavily metaphorical, the book vividly depicts the dehumanizing effects of war on Hepburn – an English gentleman who had been part of the war machine and in the aftermath has come to believe that "we are worth so very little".
