Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
In one week, at the Battles of the Rosebud and the Little Bighorn, the military genius of Crazy Horse whipped the U.S. Army twice, using primitive weaponry and notoriously undisciplined warriors. Only the horse and maneuver were at his advantage. But Crazy Horse lost his war, was brought down to surrender, and finally, in a web of intrigue and cabal worthy of Shakespeare, murdered and wiped from the face of the earth. Naturally, his life was both glorified and distorted by both sides, red and white, while the truth of his remarkably destiny lay buried and kept secret for 125 years. To the redman, Crazy Horse became the symbol of once greatness. Some so deified him that his resurrection from the dead is foretold. Indeed, his generosity was renown and worthy of Jesus. To the whiteman, he became an embarrassment and an enigma. History says he was a solitary, laconic man, untamed and recalcitrant. yet he taught thousands of Sioux warriors the art of war in terms Frederick the Great and Stonewall Jackson would have understood. Clearly, Crazy Horse was a great communicator, one with deep sympathy with his people. The recorded history of his last days are full of massive contradiction. The eye witness accounts the most divergent of all. What kind of man was Crazy Horse really? Only the literary art of tragedy is left to answer.

The Murder Book
Author: Jonathan Kellerman
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345458648
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
Jonathan Kellerman has distinguished himself as the master of the psychological thriller. Now L.A. psychologist-detective Alex Delaware confronts a long-unsolved murder of unspeakable brutality—an ice-cold case whose resolution threatens his survival, and that of longtime friend, homicide detective, Milo Sturgis. The nightmare begins when Alex receives a strange package in the mail with no return address. Inside is an ornate album filled with gruesome crime scene photos—a homicide scrapbook entitled The Murder Book. Alex can find no reason for anyone to send him this compendium of death, but when Milo views the book, he is immediately shaken by one of the images: a young woman, tortured, strangled, and dumped near a freeway ramp. This was one of Milo’s first cases as a rookie homicide cop: a vicious killing that he failed to solve, because just as he and his training partner began to make headway, the department closed them down. Being forced to abandon the young victim tormented Milo. But his fears prevented him from pursuing the truth, and over the years he managed to forget. Or so he thought. Now, two decades later, someone has chosen to stir up the past. As Alex and Milo set out to uncover what really happened twenty years ago, their every move is followed and their lives are placed in jeopardy. The relentless investigation reaches deep into L.A.’s nerve-centers of power and wealth—past and present. While peeling back layer after layer of ugly secrets, they discover that the murder of one forgotten girl has chilling ramifications that extend far beyond the tragic loss of a single life. A classic story of good and evil, sacrifice and sin, The Murder Book is a gripping page-turner that illuminates the darkest corridors of the human mind. It is a stunning tour de force. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Jonathan Kellerman's Victims.
