The Girl and the Bill
Author: Bannister Merwin
Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
'The Girl and the Bill' is a romance-adventure novel written by Bannister Merwin. In the beginning of the novel, we are first introduced to the character of Robert Orme who liked Chicago, but felt towards the Western city something more than the tolerant, patronizing interest which so often characterizes the Eastern man. To him it was the hub of genuine Americanism—young, aggressive, perhaps a bit too cocksure, but ever bounding along with eyes toward the future. Here was the city of great beginnings, the city of experiment—experiment with life; hence its incompleteness—an incompleteness not dissimilar to that of life itself. Chicago lived; it was the pulse of the great Middle West. Orme watched the procession with clear eyes. He had been strolling southward from the Masonic Temple, into the shopping district. The clangor, the smoke and dust, the hurrying crowds, all worked into his mood. The expectation of adventure was far from him. Nor was he a man 2who sought impressions for amusement; whatever came to him he weighed, and accepted or rejected according as it was valueless or useful. Wholesome he was; anyone might infer that from his face. Doubtless, his fault lay in his overemphasis on the purely practical; but that, after all, was a lawyer's fault, and it was counterbalanced by a sweet kindliness toward all the world—a loveableness which made for him a friend of every chance acquaintance.

The Girl of the Lake
Author: Bill Roorbach
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1616203323
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Nine richly varied, often funny, always moving stories that reveal the complex workings of the human heart. Bill Roorbach conjures vivid characters whose layered interior worlds feel at once familiar and extraordinary. He first made his mark as the winner of an O. Henry Prize for the title story of Big Bend, his first collection, which won the Flannery O’Connor Award. His new collection, The Girl of the Lake, captures a virtuoso in his prime. Roorbach’s characters are unforgettable: among them an adventurous boy who learns what courage really is when an aging nobleman recounts history to him; a couple hiking through the mountains whose vacation and relationship ends catastrophically; a teenager being pursued by three sisters all at once; a tech genius who exacts revenge on his wife and best friend over a stolen kiss from years past. These moving and funny stories are as rich in scope, emotional, and memorable as Bill Roorbach’s novels. He has been called “a kinder, gentler John Irving...a humane and entertaining storyteller with a smooth, graceful style” (the Washington Post), and his work has been described as “hilarious and heartbreaking, wild and wise” (Parade magazine), all of which is evident in spades (and also hearts, clubs, and diamonds) in every story in this arresting new collection.

Pages : 506
Book Description
The Hill Country Killer's reign of terror has ended. When FBI detectives Dwight Hesting and Valerie Marshall enter the home of their main suspect, David Inkling, they're surprised to find him already dead, served up for them on a bloody platter of vinyl flooring. They also find a twelve-year-old girl, strapped down to a bed-still alive. The young girl doesn't remember anything except her name. Hope. That, and Inkling's psychopathic ranting. Ranting of worse things to come. Despite this, Hesting and Marshall feel like they're on the precipice of ending this case, at least until they're ordered to spearhead a different investigation, involving a new killer. A worse one. It becomes quickly evident that this new killer is one unlike any they've ever seen-a killer that the media has come to call The Girl Eater, a killer that spawns new copycats daily. Little does the FBI, and the city itself, know that they are up against an enemy so evil, relentless, and powerful that it cannot possibly be of this world. Now, as hopes fade, we all discover that whether you're fleeing in fear or confronting with courage, in Hell, the only thing that matters is hope.
