Book Description
Detective David Daniels was in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound when his wife was kidnapped. The investigation started when he teamed up with his old friend on the police squad. The prisoners involved were very devious on how they escaped the jail and must have had everything planned for a long time. These convicts were ones that David had testified against at trial. They had received some information from someone that has always been hostile towards the detective. The Boss has lost a lot of money in the past because of all of the digging that David had been doing. He wanted to get his revenge and this was a good place for him to start. This was the first step of many that the Boss had and he hoped that it would be putting the detective in jail. All things went right for a while for the Boss until David turned things around and went after the people that took his wife. He had new information for the three inmates and used it the way he was trained to do.

The Collected Poems of Bertolt Brecht
Author: Bertolt Brecht
Publisher: Liveright Publishing
ISBN: 087140768X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 1606
Book Description
Times Literary Supplement • Books of the Year ("The most generous available English collection of Brecht’s poetry.") A landmark literary event, The Collected Poems of Bertolt Brecht is the most extensive English translation of Brecht’s poetry to date. Widely celebrated as the greatest German playwright of the twentieth century, Bertolt Brecht was also, as George Steiner observed, “that very rare phenomenon, a great poet, for whom poetry is an almost everyday visitation and drawing of breath.” Hugely prolific, Brecht also wrote more than two thousand poems—though fewer than half were published in his lifetime, and early translations were heavily censored. Now, award-winning translators David Constantine and Tom Kuhn have heroically translated more than 1,200 poems in the most comprehensive English collection of Brecht’s poetry to date. Written between 1913 and 1956, these poems celebrate Brecht’s unquenchable “love of life, the desire for better and more of it,” and reflect the technical virtuosity of an artist driven by bitter and violent politics, as well as by the untrammeled forces of love and erotic desire. A monumental achievement and a reclamation, The Collected Poems of Bertolt Brecht is a must-have for any lover of twentieth-century poetry.

Hell's Quest

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 834
Book Description
Exactly how Collingwood had been built, how she had assumed a completely new identity and personality, just what frightening, sinister debts had been incurred in the process I didn't yet know. The final piece of the puzzle was coming whenever I was ready to listen, but I already dearly loved the person incurring the debts and I already understood why they had been incurred. Nancy was fleeing from a first degree murder charge, a case no doubt still open on the books of the Hoboken Police Department. I had followed those Waterfront Commission hearings Warren brought up with some interest back in 1966. When he mentioned them this morning, I vaguely recalled a murdered federal informant by the name of Deluca being mentioned by several witnesses. It may not have been the same guy. I may have remembered the name wrong. But if he was, the case was open with the FBI as well.

Blood on the Siberian Snow
Author: C J Farrington
Publisher: Constable
ISBN: 147213317X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
'Quirky and colourful' Times Crime Club 'An absolute delight' L C Tyler 'This intriguing but charming murder mystery is packed with psychological depth and wonderfully-drawn characters' Eleanor Ray 'A cast of colourful characters decorate this cosy Siberian crime' The Sun Winter has come early to the tiny Siberian village of Roslazny, but for Olga Pushkin, aspiring writer and Railway Engineer (Second Class), it only makes leaving the harder. Olga is being forced overseas by her jealous superior, and now faces two years in exile from her beloved rail-side hut, her white-breasted hedgehog Dmitri, and Vassily Marushkin, sergeant-in-charge at the tiny Roslazny police station. Fate seems to intervene when Olga's train crashes outside Roslazny, shutting the line and killing two on board - local celebrity Danyl Petrovich and his wife, Anoushka. But Vassily Marushkin soon discovers that the Trans-Siberian locomotive was derailed on purpose. As the weather closes in, trapping the villagers - and the suspects - inside, Vassily begins a murder investigation in which Olga and her long-lost friend, Nevena Komarov, soon become closely involved. But murder and extreme weather isn't all Olga has to deal with. Recalcitrant publishers, haunted police stations, and embarrassing online exposés combine to make this early winter a particularly challenging one - with the threat of a forced departure still looming as soon as the weather lifts. Can Olga find out who killed the Petroviches, secure the release of her book, exorcise the ghost, and save her job, all at the same time? 'The whole atmosphere of the village and the two main characters... are evoked with charm and panache A novel to treasure' A. N. Wilson Praise for Death on the Trans-Siberian Express 'The book is an absolute delight, evocative equally of the frozen steppes, bad vodka and worse sausage, and full of larger than life characters. Olga Pushkin is an endearing protagonist, who is hopefully set for a series as long as the Trans Siberian Railway.' L C Tyler 'Written with a warmth that would thaw Siberia, this intriguing but charming murder mystery is packed with psychological depth and wonderfully-drawn characters. It also features the best hedgehog I've met in a novel.' Eleanor Ray

Becoming George Orwell
Author: John Rodden
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691228418
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
The remarkable transformation of Orwell from journeyman writer to towering icon Is George Orwell the most influential writer who ever lived? Yes, according to John Rodden’s provocative book about the transformation of a man into a myth. Rodden does not argue that Orwell was the most distinguished man of letters of the last century, nor even the leading novelist of his generation, let alone the greatest imaginative writer of English prose fiction. Yet his influence since his death at midcentury is incomparable. No other writer has aroused so much controversy or contributed so many incessantly quoted words and phrases to our cultural lexicon, from “Big Brother” and “doublethink” to “thoughtcrime” and “Newspeak.” Becoming George Orwell is a pathbreaking tour de force that charts the astonishing passage of a litterateur into a legend. Rodden presents the author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four in a new light, exploring how the man and writer Orwell, born Eric Arthur Blair, came to be overshadowed by the spectral figure associated with nightmare visions of our possible futures. Rodden opens with a discussion of the life and letters, chronicling Orwell’s eccentricities and emotional struggles, followed by an assessment of his chief literary achievements. The second half of the book examines the legend and legacy of Orwell, whom Rodden calls “England’s Prose Laureate,” looking at everything from cyberwarfare to “fake news.” The closing chapters address both Orwell’s enduring relevance to burning contemporary issues and the multiple ironies of his popular reputation, showing how he and his work have become confused with the very dreads and diseases that he fought against throughout his life.
