In the predominantly mormon city of Draper, Utah, some seemingly perfect families have deadly secrets. Linda Wallheim is a devout Mormon, mother of five boys and wife of a bishop. But Linda’s daily routine of church-going, Relief Society meetings, and visiting church ward members is turned upside down as a disturbing situation takes shape in her seemingly idyllic neighborhood.

As she snoops, trying to learn more about the Helms’ circumstances, Linda becomes convinced Jared murdered his wife and painted himself as a wronged husband.

The Bishop's Pawn
Author: Steve Berry
Publisher: Minotaur Books
ISBN: 1250140234
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
The Bishop’s Pawn continues renowned New York Times top 5 bestseller Steve Berry’s Cotton Malone series with another riveting, history-based thriller. History notes that the ugly feud between J. Edgar Hoover and Martin Luther King, Jr., marked by years of illegal surveillance and the accumulation of secret files, ended on April 4, 1968 when King was assassinated by James Earl Ray. But that may not have been the case. Now, fifty years later, former Justice Department agent, Cotton Malone, must reckon with the truth of what really happened that fateful day in Memphis. It all turns on an incident from eighteen years ago, when Malone, as a young Navy lawyer, is trying hard not to live up to his burgeoning reputation as a maverick. When Stephanie Nelle, a high-level Justice Department lawyer, enlists him to help with an investigation, he jumps at the opportunity. But he soon discovers that two opposing forces—the Justice Department and the FBI—are at war over a rare coin and a cadre of secret files containing explosive revelations about the King assassination, information that could ruin innocent lives and threaten the legacy of the civil rights movement’s greatest martyr. Malone’s decision to see it through to the end--from the raucous bars of Mexico, to the clear waters of the Dry Tortugas, and ultimately into the halls of power within Washington D.C. itself--not only changes his own life, but the course of history. Steve Berry always mines the lost riches of history--in The Bishop's Pawn he imagines a gripping, provocative thriller about an American icon.

Cary Grant, the Making of a Hollywood Legend
Author: Mark Glancy
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190053143
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
A definitive new account of the professional and personal life of one of Hollywood's most unforgettable, influential stars. Archie Leach was a poorly educated, working-class boy from a troubled family living in the backstreets of Bristol. Cary Grant was Hollywood's most debonair film star--the embodiment of worldly sophistication. Cary Grant: The Making of a Hollywood Legend tells the incredible story of how a sad, neglected boy became the suave, glamorous star many know and idolize. The first biography to be based on Grant's own personal papers, this book takes us on a fascinating journey from the actor's difficult childhood through years of struggle in music halls and vaudeville, a hit-and-miss career in Broadway musicals, and three decades of film stardom during Hollywood's golden age. Leaving no stone unturned, Cary Grant delves into all aspects of Grant's life, from the bitter realities of his impoverished childhood to his trailblazing role in Hollywood as a film star who defied the studio system and took control of his own career. Highlighting Grant's genius as an actor and a filmmaker, author Mark Glancy examines the crucial contributions Grant made to such classic films as Bringing Up Baby (1938), The Philadelphia Story (1940), Notorious (1946), An Affair to Remember (1957), North by Northwest (1959), Charade (1963) and Father Goose (1964). Glancy also explores Grant's private life with new candor and insight throughout the book's nine sections, illuminating how Grant's search for happiness and fulfillment lead him to having his first child at the age of 62 and embarking on his fifth marriage at the age of 77. With this biography--complete with a chronological filmography of the actor's work--Glancy provides a definitive account of the professional and personal life of one of Hollywood's most unforgettable, influential stars.

The Bishops Wife will keep you on edge page by page as you unravel the story of persons from the highest order of the Anglican church. Dont ever believe that those in the church are exempt from the grasps of Satan. Even those persons who seek the highest seating with God, can find themselves in the middle of unholy circumstances. Tricia, a born Christian, was never taught about the pleasures and responsibility of sexual relationships. She therefore had to depend on friends and the Internet to educate her. Luckily, she made it to marriage in one piece; a virgin. Unfortunately, the lack of intimacy in her marriage sent her on the most unholy journey; nothing expected of the wife of a Bishop! Elias Dessington, the Bishop of Calvary Isle, has always led a peaceful and Godly life. When he caught the fancy of Tricia Callendar, he knew he had found the woman of his dreams; the woman sent by God. Roger Duncan has loved Tricia his entire life. He wants to give her the loving that she craves, the loving she deserves. But Tricias love for God has molded her into the woman that she is today. Rogers reputation is far from what is expected of the average Christian. Tricia cannot risk falling into his grasp. Dive into the complications of the Christian life as Roger tries to steal Tricia away from her husband. Can the man of God let Roger take the love of his life from him yet again? See how Elias manages the fight for his soul; a fight between the devil and his God.
