In the spring of 1886, a locomotive disappears from a siding near Marshall, Texas.

Pierce is accompanied on the journey to East Texas by his new friend, Dr. Jarvis Weston, setting the stage for a tangled investigation that eventually stretches from the financial centers of New York City and Philadelphia to the casinos of western Louisiana. Along the way, Weston proves his worth by uncovering some key evidence concerning a conspiracy to establish a rail monopoly in Texas.

Book Description
Danny Parker, a pilot wounded in the Great War, returns home to Long Beach, California, in 1919 hoping to reconcile with his former girlfriend, Joyce Villareal, who is now a silent movie star. But Joyce has disappeared. Danny and Joyce were best friends since first grade. As juniors in high school their friendship became romantic. But just before graduation, Danny surprised Joyce by announcing he planned to study for the priesthood. Angry and hurt, she broke up with him and moved to Hollywood to become an actress at Paramount. Three years later, he left the seminary and enlisted in the Marines, eventually becoming one of the first Marine aviators. He crashes in France and barely survives a horrendous battle. Finally home in Long Beach, he has no desire to return to the seminary or the service. His physical wounds have healed but not the emotional trauma of death and destruction from so many months of combat. His only plan is to resume a relationship with Joyce, if she’ll have him. Bu first he has to find her. Danny searches her bungalow near Griffith Park, finding a hidden diary which mentions dates with three men, whom she refers to as the Comedian, the Daredevil, and the Producer. He visits Paramount Pictures in Hollywood, where Joyce has been filming Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with John Barrymore. Paramount assigns a detective to the case. The Los Angeles Police Department is strangely unconcerned. The search for Joyce has given Danny’s life meaning again. He enlists the help of the stunt pilot who taught him to fly, an old priest scarred by the Indian Wars, a police chief who prefers justice to politics, and a big tent evangelist who preaches women’s rights. Clues lead to a former Barnum & Bailey showman who owns hundreds of Nickelodeon theaters and is now running for mayor of Los Angeles.

THE ASTONISHING & TRUE TALE OF THE MISSING AMERICAN CULTURE

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
“What? Puccini isn't a green vegetable?” Dumb the populace down and one can sell anything. Who needs Chopin and Mozart when there are Britney Spears, Michael Bolton and Kenny G? Why dine on penne con fungi when Hamburger Helper and Hungry Man frozen dinners are available? Got white merlot to sell, no problem! Got a war to sell, no problem! Fill the local news broadcasts with the latest celebrity gossip, NASCAR results and fear of foreigners, all the while repeating "Shut up and shop!" the preferred subliminal command. Provide Mammoth-sized shopping carts to transport the oversized haul to the gargantuan SUV, the only thing large enough to deliver the inflated modern-day shopper and its truckload of heavily processed food-- "Obey and consume!" As with the relationship between the Morlocks and the Eloi, keep the populace placated, well fed, and most importantly, dumbed-down and supreme power is at hand, at least that's the view of master detective Nigel Strange's latest villain. But is it too late? Can the horror be stopped? Is the Red State plague (RSP) the great pestilence that will finally erode the American fabric? Is recruiting Nigel Strange, with his stunning powers of deduction, the answer? Can Strange find the culprit, a ruthless culture-thief, and rescue the US? In Kenneth Frawley's new book, The Astonishing & True Tale of the Missing American Culture revel in the fascinating, side-splitting story of America's cultural distress and how Victorian detective Nigel Strange is recruited to rescue a distraught nation. Inventive and satirical, Kenneth Frawley's The Astonishing & True Tale of the Missing American Culture is the fascinating, side-splitting story of America's cultural distress and how Victorian detective Nigel Strange is recruited to rescue a distraught nation. It's an influential work of modern fiction that compels readers to put in the open their own values and ponder American culture, and the roles corporate and political entities have had upon it. With a ridiculously clever spin on the classic detective novel, as device, the book is a literary tour de force that humorously expresses Frawley's perceptive and relevant assessment of American culture.
