Book Description
Murder and mystery in the mountains! With the wealthy, Machiavellian, feuding family dynamics of Game of Thrones, the wintry sense of entrapment of Murder on the Orient Express, and the suspenseful implications of technology gone awry of Jurassic Park, The Murders in the Endicott Hotel is a suspenseful thriller that will keep you turning pages. Thanks to a scientific advance, Daniel Larch's company, Pioneer Medical Technologies, has ostensibly reformed five serial killers. The courts release the reformed citizens into Larch's custody, and he takes them to a private hotel in the Alaskan mountains. Larch believes that his fortunes are improving. But when Larch gets caught having an extramarital affair with the company lawyer, and his wife asks for a divorce, he finds himself in trouble. Larch's problems snowball when the company's competitors, led by the vendetta-driven Grishuk family, appear unexpectedly. A blizzard hits the Endicott, and the guests and hotel staff are cut off from the outside world. The lodgers find themselves trapped with five serial killers-all of whom are only supposedly reformed. Then Daniel Larch drops dead, and suddenly the valuable inheritance of his multibillion dollar medtech company goes up for grabs. More guests are killed, and at the scene of each crime, Detective Walter Churchfield finds a poetic note that he believes will lead him to the killer. Readers are saying: --Twist: The plot twist at the end is very exciting and worth the wait. --I enjoyed the detective throughout this book. So many fun suspects and possibilities it had your gears going the whole time. --It’s a locked room mystery, but definitely a hell of a locked room. So many great suspects and possibilities for the killer... --The Murders in the Endicott Hotel is built on an interesting and unique premise, many many murders, and a sharp but believable detective. I really like the thought put into this, and the eventual reveal of the murderer was very smart... --This was an interesting and fun read. I enjoyed the writing style and the mystery.

With Her Fist Raised
Author: Laura L. Lovett
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807008974
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
The first biography of Dorothy Pitman Hughes, a trailblazing Black feminist activist whose work made children, race, and welfare rights central to the women’s movement. Dorothy Pitman Hughes was a transformative community organizer in New York City in the 1970s who shared the stage with Gloria Steinem for 5 years, captivating audiences around the country. After leaving rural Georgia in the 1950s, she moved to New York, determined to fight for civil rights and equality. Historian Laura L. Lovett traces Hughes’s journey as she became a powerhouse activist, responding to the needs of her community and building a platform for its empowerment. She created lasting change by revitalizing her West Side neighborhood, which was subjected to racial discrimination, with nonexistent childcare and substandard housing, where poverty, drug use, a lack of job training, and the effects of the Vietnam War were evident. Hughes created a high-quality childcare center that also offered job training, adult education classes, a Youth Action corps, housing assistance, and food resources. Hughes’s realization that her neighborhood could be revitalized by actively engaging and including the community was prescient and is startlingly relevant. As her stature grew to a national level, Hughes spent several years traversing the country with Steinem and educating people about feminism, childcare, and race. She moved to Harlem in the 1970s to counter gentrification and bought the franchise to the Miss Greater New York City pageant to demonstrate that Black was beautiful. She also opened an office supply store and became a powerful voice for Black women entrepreneurs and Black-owned businesses. Throughout every phase of her life, Hughes understood the transformative power of activism for Black communities. With expert research, which includes Hughes’s own accounts of her life, With Her Fist Raised is the necessary biography of a pivotal figure in women’s history and Black feminism whose story will finally be told.
