Book Description
"Dead Ringer is the true story of the discovery and thwarting of the Italian Mafia's recent effort to join forces with the cocaine cartels of Colombia, as related by three of the case's vital players. Joe Cuffaro is a Sicilian-born member of the Mafia, go-between for Colombian drug lords and the Corleone family in Italy. Leo Fraley became one of Pablo Escobar's top ten smugglers, earning between one and five million dollars per shipment to the United States. Bill Gately, a top U.S. Customs Special Agent, brought the two to justice in spite of federal foot-dragging and inter-agency jealousies. Joe Cuffaro's and Leo Fraley's combined testimony eventually led to the downfall of such as John Gotti of the Gambino crime family in New York, and Pablo Escobar of the Medellin cartel, along with twelve of the highest-ranking mafiosi in Sicily." "Written with the full cooperation of each of the three principals, Dead Ringer is an insider's account of one of the most important and well-publicized drug cases in the history of the United States. Joe Cuffaro and Leo Fraley are currently in the Federal Witness Protection Program."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

A trio of Western stories by Louis L’Amour In “Black Rock,” Jim Gatlin, a Texas trail driver, arrives in the town of Tucker where he finds himself quickly drawn into the middle of an all-out battle for the XY Ranch when, due to a case of mistaken identity, he kills the segundo of Wing Cary’s Flying C Ranch.

Louis L’Amour is the most decorated author in the history of American letters, and his stories are loved the world over.

Book Description
New York Times bestseller M. C. Beaton's cranky, crafty Agatha Raisin—now the star of a hit T.V. show—is back on the case again in The Dead Ringer. The idyllic Cotswolds village of Thirk Magna is best known for the medieval church of St. Ethelred and its bells, which are the pride and glory of the whole community. As the bell-ringers get ready for the visit of the dashing Bishop Peter Salver-Hinkley, the whole village is thrown into a frenzy. Meanwhile, Agatha convinces one of the bell-ringers, the charming lawyer Julian Brody, to hire her to investigate the mystery of the Bishop’s ex-fiancée: a local heiress, Jennifer Toynby, who went missing years ago and whose body was never found... Meanwhile, the bodies in the village just keep on piling up: the corpse of Larry Jensen, a local policeman, is discovered in the crypt. Millicent Dupin, one of a pair of bell-ringing identical twins, is murdered near the church. And Terry Fletcher, a journalist and (briefly) Agatha’s lover, is found dead in her sitting room! Agatha widens her investigation and very soon her main suspect is the handsome Bishop himself. But could he really be behind this series of violent killings, or is it someone who wants to bring him—and his reputation—down?

She was hiding from her past... When a local woman goes missing and Sheriff Blake Jenkins delivers her blood sample to DNA expert Emory Steele for analysis, Blake discovers Emory is a dead ringer for the missing woman.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
While the popular press has criticized movie remakes as signs of Hollywood's collective lack of imagination, the essays in Dead Ringers reveal the centrality and staying power of remakes as a formative genre in filmmaking. The contributors show that the practice of remaking films dates back to the origins of cinema and the evolution of film markets. In fact, remakes were never so prevalent as during the Classic Hollywood period, when filmmaking had achieved its greatest degree of industrialization, and they continue to play a crucial role in the development of film genres generally. Offering a variety of historical, commercial, theoretical, and cultural perspectives on the remake, Dead Ringers is a valuable resource for students of film history and theory, as well as those interested in the cultural politics of the late twentieth century.
