The Quarry
Author: Iain M. Banks
Publisher: Hachette+ORM
ISBN: 0316281840
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Eighteen-year-old Kit is weird: big, strange, odd, socially disabled, on a spectrum that stretches from "highly gifted" at one end, to "nutter" at the other. At least Kit knows who his father is; he and Guy live together in a decaying country house on the unstable brink of a vast quarry. His mother's identity is another matter. Now, though, his father's dying, and old friends are gathering for one last time. "Uncle" Paul's a media lawyer now; Rob and Ali are upwardly mobile corporate bunnies; pretty, hopeful Pris is a single mother; Haze is still living up to his drug-inspired name twenty years on; and fierce, protective Hol is a gifted if acerbic critic. As young film students they lived at Willoughtree House with Guy, and they've all come back because they want something. Kit, too, has his own ulterior motives. Before his father dies he wants to know who his mother is, and what's on the mysterious tape they're all looking for. But most of all he wants to stop time and keep his father alive. Fast-paced, gripping and savagely funny, The Quarry is a virtuoso performance whose soaring riffs on the inexhaustible marvel of human perception and rage against the dying of the light will stand among Iain Banks' greatest work.

A Real Nightmare
Author: David H. Swendsen
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1465345108
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
A popular and strong advocate of protecting our environment, Boston Mayor, Richard Bronsky is shot and killed while he rides with the just victorious NBA champion Boston Celtics in their Duck Boat parade. The Boston police, with cooperation from other Massachusetts and New Hampshire police departments, suddenly find themselves deep into an investigation as to who and why this former State Senator, who only recently left his job as head of the Washington D.C. EPA, and was just elected Boston's Mayor, would unbelievably be shot and killed in front of the Taj Hotel on Tremont Street in downtown Boston. Sergeant Eric Smothers expertly coordinates this exhaustive investigation, which also involves a traumatic related house torching of a Falmouth, Ma., very active woman, who loudly supports the progression of the Cape Cod Wind Farm project. Three anti-environmental groups and their outspoken leaders are investigated and they, and some of their hired involved followers do not rule out arson or murder or the bombing of a police patrol car, to stand in the way of their anti-environmental goals and their economic windfalls. Smothers and stunningly attractive Boston Police Lieutenant Sandra Graham somehow find their off duty attraction to each other becomes much more than, off with his tie, and off with her high heels, as the moonlight floods Sandra's harbor side apartment. The sergeant finds the lieutenant striking beautiful and irresistible, both in and out of uniform. This a story of well financed bad guy's and their goals, going up against a coordinated effort by determined law enforcement officers to bring the evasive law breakers to court and prosecution. The trail of the bad guys leads all over Massachusetts, parts of New Hampshire and into other parts of the United States, and even into an island in the Bahamas.

The Search
Author: John Henry Phillips
Publisher: Robinson
ISBN: 1472146166
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
When archaeologist John Henry Phillips volunteered with a charity that took D-Day veterans back to Normandy, due to an administrative error he found himself without a hotel room and reliant on the generosity of one of the veterans who had a spare bed. That veteran was Patrick Thomas - and it was an encounter that would change both their lives forever. Patrick's landing craft, LCH 185, had led the first wave into Sword Beach on D-Day, and stayed off Normandy until the 25th June when an acoustic mine sent it to the seabed along with most of the crew. His story transfixed John, and the resulting search for the shipwreck was to consume him. Jumping back and forwards in time, between vivid descriptions of the final days on board LCH 185 and John's thrilling search to find the shipwreck, The Search is an emotional story of a devastating time in history, an unlikely, life-changing friendship and a quest to honour a wartime home and family lost over seventy-five years ago.
