Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
The New York Times Best Seller "[Hope Never Dies is] an escapist fantasy that will likely appeal to liberals pining for the previous administration, longing for the Obama-Biden team to emerge from political retirement as action heroes."—Alexandra Alter, New York Times Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama team up in this high-stakes thriller that combines a mystery worthy of Watson and Holmes with the laugh-out-loud bromantic chemistry of Lethal Weapon’s Murtaugh and Riggs. Vice President Joe Biden is fresh out of the Obama White House and feeling adrift when his favorite railroad conductor dies in a suspicious accident, leaving behind an ailing wife and a trail of clues. To unravel the mystery, “Amtrak Joe” re-teams with the only man he’s ever fully trusted: the 44th president of the United States. Together they’ll plumb the darkest corners of Delaware, traveling from cheap motels to biker bars and beyond, as they uncover the sinister forces advancing America’s opioid epidemic. Part noir thriller and part bromance, Hope Never Dies is essentially the first published work of Obama/Biden fiction—and a cathartic read for anyone distressed by the current state of affairs.

The Devil That Never Dies

Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316250309
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 557
Book Description
A groundbreaking — and terrifying — examination of the widespread resurgence of antisemitism in the 21st century, by the prize-winning and #1 internationally bestselling author of Hitler's Willing Executioners. Antisemitism never went away, but since the turn of the century it has multiplied beyond what anyone would have predicted. It is openly spread by intellectuals, politicians and religious leaders in Europe, Asia, the Arab world, America and Africa and supported by hundreds of millions more. Indeed, today antisemitism is stronger than any time since the Holocaust. In The Devil that Never Dies, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen reveals the unprecedented, global form of this age-old hatred; its strategic use by states; its powerful appeal to individuals and groups; and how technology has fueled the flames that had been smoldering prior to the millennium. A remarkable work of intellectual brilliance, moral stature, and urgent alarm, The Devil that Never Dies is destined to be one of the most provocative and talked-about books of the year. "No other writer has held mass murderers, deniers of truth, and propagators of hate to a higher standard of moral accountability than Daniel Jonah Goldhagen...The Devil That Never Dies doubtlessly will shatter the way people think about antisemitism." —Huffington Post

Book Description
"The German ambassador, madam," said Sherlock Holmes, "is reputed to be brilliant and very difficult." "My dear, Mr. Holmes," she said. "He is a man. Like all men when they are drunk and in the throes of ecstasy, he will be easy." "I must warn you, he has a reputation amongst men who have encountered him of being dangerous." "And a reputation amongst women of falling asleep immediately after, if you know what I mean." Sherlock Holmes blushed ever so slightly. "Very well then, I shall expect your return with the document in forty-eight hours." He slid a small stack of gold coins over to her. Without inspecting them, she placed them in her purse. "Oh, you do know how to make a lady happy, don't you?" She stood up from her chair in the bar at the Ritz Hotel in Paris. "I do believe I shall enjoy working with you, Mr. Holmes." Without warning, she bent down and planted a kiss on the cheek of Sherlock Holmes and then stood back up and gave him an odd look. "Mon dieu, why is I feel nothing from you? Were you neutered as a schoolboy?" "Madam, a man must choose between being susceptible to the wiles of a woman, or being a good detective. He cannot have both. Allow me to wish you Godspeed." The woman known to the world as Mata Hari, turned and glided her way out of the bar. The eyes of every man in the room followed her. This story is a tribute to His Last Bow. Once again, at the outbreak of the Great War, Sherlock Holmes must engage in dangerous espionage. He will be assisted by the most glamorous and tragic of spies, Mata Hari.
