The Great Crown Jewels Robbery of 1303
Author: Paul Doherty
Publisher: Headline
ISBN: 0755395824
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
An insight into one of history's most cunning, yet overlooked, events... Medieval London comes to life in Paul Doherty's gripping retelling of this early attempt to steal the Crown Jewels, the first great bank raid in history. 'Doherty tells the tale with verve incorporating much fascinating historical detail' - Historical Novels Review In the reign of King Charles II (1660 - 1685), there was a famous attempt to steal the crown jewels by the memorably named Colonel Blood. However, Blood's conspiracy was not the first such plot, and it was certainly not the most successful... Three centuries earlier, in 1303, Edward I of England (of Braveheart fame) was north of the Scottish border attempting to crush William Wallace, secure in the knowledge that he had stashed his royal treasures safely behind iron-bound doors in Westminster Abbey - a place of sanctity reputed to house Christ's body, and inhabited by pious Benedictine monks. Enter Richard Puddlicott: a former merchant and a charming, dissolute, rogue with a grudge against the king. He infiltrated the Abbey's inner circle (entertaining them on the proceeds of their own silver) and, before long, had managed to help himself to a good part of the treasure. The King's fury knew no bounds, but Puddlicott ran the King's men a merry dance before eventually being captured and sent - along with forty monks - to his death in Westminster. This exhilarating tale of cunning, deceit, lechery, monks, pimps and prostitutes is also the story of the first great bank raid in history. Until now - with most of the evidence still in manuscripts, in Latin or Norman French - very little has been written about it. With his usual verve, blending vivid narrative and historical analysis, Paul Doherty takes the lid off both the medieval underworld and the 'holy' monastic community. The result is historically enlightening and a gripping read. What readers are saying about Paul Doherty: 'I was totally gripped. I have read a lot of history books and this is amongst the best I have read' 'An interesting book, historically accurate and very well researched' 'Doherty proves that he is a scholar as well as a writer of novels'

Publisher: Green Nebula Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 535
Book Description
It is the far future. The artificial intelligences created by humanity are now gods, and mankind mere ants who scrabble in their shadows across a million worlds. The Lords of the Great Houses on the ever-night Moon of Hexator are suspected of the murder of one of their own. And merchant William Roxley, once a magistrate-priest, is unwillingly coopted to uncover the truth behind the killings. With only the help of his naive young assistant and a brutish robot bodyguard, the man they call 'Sweet William' digs into the Moon's eerie existence. A collapsing society where many strange, terrible things are happening under night's unsettling cover. Hexator is a place where nothing is what it seems, perhaps not even William Roxley himself! ABOUT THE AUTHOR Stephen Hunt is the creator of the much-loved 'Far-called' series (Gollancz/Hachette), as well as the 'Jackelian' series, published across the world via HarperCollins alongside their other science fiction authors, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Philip K. Dick and Ray Bradbury. REVIEWS Praise for Stephen Hunt's novels: ‘Mr. Hunt takes off at racing speed.’ — THE WALL STREET JOURNAL ‘Hunt's imagination is probably visible from space. He scatters concepts that other writers would mine for a trilogy like chocolate-bar wrappers.’ - TOM HOLT ‘All manner of bizarre and fantastical extravagance.’ - DAILY MAIL ‘Compulsive reading for all ages.’ - GUARDIAN ‘An inventive, ambitious work, full of wonders and marvels.’ - THE TIMES ‘Studded with invention.’ -THE INDEPENDENT ‘To say this book is action packed is almost an understatement… a wonderful escapist yarn!’ - INTERZONE ‘Hunt has packed the story full of intriguing gimmicks… affecting and original.’ - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ‘A rip-roaring Indiana Jones-style adventure.’ —RT BOOK REVIEWS ‘A curious part-future blend.’ - KIRKUS REVIEWS ‘Hunt knows what his audience like and gives it to them with a sardonic wit and carefully developed tension.’ - TIME OUT ‘A ripping yarn … the story pounds along… constant inventiveness keeps the reader hooked… the finale is a cracking succession of cliffhangers and surprise comebacks. Great fun.’ - SFX MAGAZINE

Book Description
A violent and explosive crime novel set in New York City’s criminal underworld following the bloody aftermath of Martin Luther King’s assassination. Mayhem. Murder. Mafia. New York City, 1968: Martin Luther King Jr is dead.The fires of the subsequent riots have been put out. In the midst of civil unrest and turmoil stands Russ King, disgraced ex-cop turned Private Investigator to the criminal underworld of East Harlem. Cloaked by his biraciality and the ability to pass as white, Russ navigates a murky world filled with local hoods, loan sharks, pimps, slum landlords and shady businessmen. Troy King is a gambler, dopefiend and B&E specialist and Russ’ wayward younger brother. When Troy is released from prison he goes on the run leaving Russ with unpaid debts and a Mafia contract on his head. In an endless bid to pay off his brother’s debts and keep him alive, Russ reluctantly takes a job offered by an imprisoned Mafia don to investigate the brutal slaying of mob-connected financier, Joe ‘the Fox’ Azria and his mistress, Maggie Nelson. Before too long, Russ is thrown into a violent world of organised crime, cold-blooded jewel heists, police corruption and arcane cults. Junior Rhone’s debut novel is a blistering epic story of crime, greed, corruption, religious extremism and race, a searing portrayal of a city on the verge of racial and political anarchy. Blending labyrinthine plotting, shocking twists and dark humour in an uncompromising and complex rumination on life, death and violence that conjures up the very best work of varied storytellers such as James Ellroy, Don Winslow, Walter Mosley and Raymond Chandler.

My Adventures with Your Money
Author: T. D. Thornton
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466886978
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Today, we talk about Bernard Madoff, but in the early 20th century, they talked about George Graham Rice. Born Jacob Simon Herzig in 1870, he later changed his name - just as he would frequently change his swindles to make himself into one of the most colorfully successful villains in American history. T.D. Thornton now tells the story of Rice's life as it unfolded against the dark rise of American greed in the early 20th century. In the early 1900s, Rice made market-manipulation killings valued at billions in today's dollars by inventing fictitious boom towns in Death Valley and flagrantly exaggerating worthless mining claims throughout the West. As a shameless racetrack tipster, Rice cultivated a national following of 100,000 daily subscribers who paid for the privilege of being tipped to bet on hopeless nags. Vilified by securities regulators as the "Jackal of Wall Street," Rice sparked riots in Manhattan's financial district by perfecting the art of "bucket shop" trading with the sole purpose of bilking the public blind. He was capable of pulling off everything from street corner rip-offs for pocket change to elaborately scripted gambling hoaxes, all while being vilified by old-guard profiteers like J.P. Morgan and befriended by gangsters like Arnold Rothstein. In My Adventures With Your Money, T.D. Thornton has given us a real-life version of The Sting with one of America's most colorful con men at it's center.
