Book Description
The world cradling humankind is yet to be understood. Much of its archaic beginnings linger within the mind upon a plane of postulates, mystery and uncertain truth, the voice of myth from times long past. In these legends are glimmers of truths dismissed as lore. This is such a story: the origin of a legend that spans from distant past to the present day, the origin of the vampire. Alluring and suspenseful, it is the dark, epic chronicle of a man changed in nature and body. Once a sentinal of a prosperous settlement, he is forced into a nocturnal existence, and instinctually compelled in ways that he fears will cost him his very humanity. He gained an unnatural longevity, and while the ages pass, the modern world develops around him. His existence is discovered by an old organization whose siege even he shall be hard pressed to survive.

Jack Ruby's Girls
Author: Diana Hunter
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Stripper, B-girls and naive bus station broads knew Jack Ruby best. Two of the girls who worked for him--felt the sting of his insults and the childlike gentleness of his compassion for all living things--have given a fascinating account about the life in Ruby's Carousel Club in Dallas. And in doing it, they have also told a compelling story about Jack Ruby himself. Diana Hunter and Alice Anderson have put together their stories and the stories of the other Jack Ruby Girls with straightforward honesty. They are sometimes funny. Sometimes tearfully pathetic. And sometimes $exy. More effectively than other writers and reporters who thought they understood Ruby and why he shot the man who killed President Kennedy, these girls give their own penetrating insight into Jack Ruby's character. They offer the most believable explanation yet for his undoing--a compulsion for what he thought of as "class." Ruby died (and the Carousel Club with him) while legal minds were studying what should be done about the death sentence placed on him for a deed he thought should have made him a hero. And even the Dallas "establishment" gets another blast from these tart-tongued girls, when one of their characters sums up the multiple tragedies that happened in Dallas in 1963 by saying: "This goddam town will never know how to embrace the dead in the right way, or how to kiss a ghost goodbye."--From jacket flap

Book Description
THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER A killing like no other. A killer more twisted than he's ever seen before. A case that will test him to the limit. Has Robert Hunter finally met his match? 'Do you believe the Devil exists, Detective?' the officer at the end of the line asks. 'Because if you don't . . . I'm sure you will once you get here.' Robert Hunter is called to the most vicious crime scene he has ever attended. It is made even more disturbing when the autopsy reveals a poem, left by the killer, inside the body of their victim. Soon, another body is found. The methods and signature of the murder differs, but the level of violence used suggests that the same person is behind both crimes. Hunter's fears are confirmed when a second part of the poem is found. But this discovery does more than just link the two killings - it suggests that this is the work of a serial murderer. With no forensic evidence to go on, Robert Hunter must catch the most disciplined and systematic killer that he has ever encountered, someone who thrives on the victims' fear, and to whom death is a lesson that needs to be taught. From #1 Sunday Times and multi-million copy bestselling author, Chris Carter, comes the most compelling and ruthless Robert Hunter thriller yet. PRAISE FOR CHRIS CARTER 'Wonderful storytelling, with a superbly drawn killer, it underlines exactly how good Carter has become' Daily Mail 'Former criminal psychologist Carter knows what he's talking about when it comes to creating bone-chilling serial killers, so be prepared for a terror ride' Heat 'Carter has a background in criminal psychology and the killers at the centre of his novels are all the more terrifying for it' Mail on Sunday 'Carter is one of those authors who makes writing look effortless ... I couldn't put it down' Crime Squad 'An insanely good crime series. Extraordinarily well written, high quality and high drama all the way' Liz Loves Books 'An intriguing and scary thriller' Better Reading 'A gripping feast of thrills' Shots 'A gripping psychological thriller' Breakaway 'This is a chilling, compulsive portrait of a psychopath, and proves that Carter is now in the Jeffery Deaver class' Daily Mail 'Punchy and fast paced' Sunday Mirror

Book Description
THE VIGILANTE IS BACK . . . ...in this long-awaited sequel to HUNTER -- the #1 Kindle bestseller in "Mysteries & Thrillers" and "Romantic Suspense" He sought peace in the tranquility of nature. But can he tame the violence in his own nature? At a cabin in the Allegheny National Forest, Dylan Hunter and Annie Woods seek to heal the wounds from their ordeal at the hands of a twisted psychopath. And to build a life together, Dylan promises Annie that he'll abandon his violent ways.

These victims have no protector against the bad deeds of the powerful and privileged... ...except for one man. A man as ruthless and violent as they. A man committed to absolute justice. Because Dylan Hunter cannot walk away --not even if it costs him the woman he loves... Praise for Robert Bidinotto'sprevious bestselling thriller... HUNTER "One of the best vigilante thrillers since Clancy's Without Remorse... HUNTER delivers in a way few thrillers do. From the opening kill shot to the climactic showdown, HUNTER strikes home with the power and pinpoint accuracy of a Barrett M99... A fantastic debut thriller... A solid five stars." --Stephen England, author, Pandora's Grave and Day of Reckoning "A terrifically paced suspense novel with a killer premise... If you're a fan of Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, I suspect you'll like HUNTER." --Randy Ingermanson, "America's Mad Professor of Fiction Writing" and author, Writing Fiction for Dummies "Please order a copy of Robert's new thriller HUNTER if you want something that will keep you up at night turning pages." --Neil Russell, author, City of War, Wildcase, and Beverly Hills Is Burning "A joy... one of the great romances... To say that HUNTER is a well-structured novel is an understatement... Even the lesser characters are vividly realized [and] memorably etched with a few deft strokes. Bidinotto seems incapable of creating a cardboard figure... I demand a sequel. I want to return to the exhilarating moral atmosphere of Bidinotto's story." --Roger Donway, reviewer, "The Atlasphere" "...pulse-pounding action, kick-ass characters, and a touch of romance... Bidinotto's technique is near flawless... [O]n the same level as authors Tom Clancy, John Grisham, and James Patterson." --Allizabeth Collins, reviewer, "The Paperback Pursuer" "I read the whole thing yesterday, to the exclusion of pretty much anything else... I LOVED the book." --Rose Robbins, author, In From the Cold, Continue As Jenyfer?, and Deep Blue Ocean "...all the elements of an exciting thriller--strong conflicts, romance, action, and characters you care about. I especially loved the concluding paragraph, and you will too. Buy it." --Larry Abrams, author, The Philosophical Practitioner
