Book Description
A hidden masterpiece points the way to a treasure lost since the fall of Rome! Before fleeing her Mossad pursuers, the Warden leaves Grant a final gift—or is it a curse? An unknown Caravaggio, coveted by collectors, and hunted by the man who chained Grant to a sinking ship and left him for dead. When the painting goes missing, an ambitious art restorer will do anything to gain access to the lost work—even if it's over Grant's dead body. Renaissance science and the artist's tragic life and untimely death provide the clues, while D.A.'s past rises to haunt the hunters. The last thing Grant wants is to get involved, but if his enemy wins the race, it's literally the beginning of the end: the flame to inspire the Apocalypse.

Roman Candle
Author: David Evanier
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 143843460X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
A performer who rivaled Sinatra, Bobby Darin rose from dire poverty to become one of the biggest stars of his generation. Dogged by chronic illness, he knew that time was not on his side, and so, in a career full of dizzying twists and turns, he did it all, moving from teen idol to Vegas song-and-dance man, from hipster to folkie and back. In Roman Candle, David Evanier offers a multilayered portrait of this brash, gifted artist, including the dark side of his celebrated marriage to America's sweetheart, Sandra Dee, and the incredible family secret that tore him apart at the end. "Compelling and revealing ... Roman Candle gives us the many lives of one of the great entertainers of all time, whose flame was extinguished way too soon." — Kevin Spacey "Informed by scores of interviews with Darin's friends and associates and written in no-nonsense, just-the-facts prose, Evanier's book paints a picture of a ruthlessly ambitious musician.... Sinatra may have had the bragging rights to 'My Way,' but Darin lived out the lyrics." — Publishers Weekly "This biography percolates with cool.... [Evanier has] written a book so charged with intimacy, so heartbreakingly ebullient with life, that you feel that any moment the pages are about to snap their fingers and break into song." — Caroline Leavitt, The Boston Globe "Darin has been the subject of several books; most notable is this new examination of the singer's life and work by David Evanier.... Evanier's portrait, true to its title, is one of a bright talent that soared quickly and erupted in a flash of glory." — David Hajdu, The Atlantic Monthly "Music fans are liable to be surprised by the Bobby Darin mania sparked by Kevin Spacey's sunny new film biography. For the slightly darker look at Darin, hole up for the holidays with Roman Candle, the latest book about Darin's rollercoaster life." — Janet Maslin, "Top Ten list of Books for Gifts" (2004), The New York Times

The Dry Heart
Author: Natalia Ginzburg
Publisher: New Directions Publishing
ISBN: 0811228797
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
Finally back in print, a frighteningly lucid feminist horror story about marriage The Dry Heart begins and ends with the matter-of-fact pronouncement: “I shot him between the eyes.” As the tale—a plunge into the chilly waters of loneliness, desperation, and bitterness—proceeds, the narrator's murder of her flighty husband takes on a certain logical inevitability. Stripped of any preciousness or sentimentality, Natalia Ginzburg's writing here is white-hot, tempered by rage. She transforms the unhappy tale of an ordinary dull marriage into a rich psychological thriller that seems to beg the question: why don't more wives kill their husbands?
