Innocence has never been so sweet, and I want a bite of the damn apple. My Prez sent me to be part of a security detail on Bellamy Mason, his wife’s little half-sister. I’ll admit, I wasn’t exactly liking the idea at first. I felt like I was being sent on a fools errand. There were much more important things I could’ve been doing back at the club. Joke was on me, cause little by little she weaseled herself into my pants, and then my heart. Turns out Bellamy isn’t so innocent after all. We can’t keep it a secret forever…or can we?

The Roots of Romanticism
Author: Isaiah Berlin
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400846692
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
A brilliant brief account of romanticism and its influence from one of the most important philosophers and intellectual historians of the twentieth century In The Roots of Romanticism, one of the twentieth century's most influential philosophers dissects and assesses a movement that changed the course of history. Brilliant, fresh, immediate, and eloquent, these celebrated Mellon Lectures are a bravura intellectual performance. Isaiah Berlin surveys the many attempts to define romanticism, distills its essence, traces its developments from its first stirrings to its apotheosis, and shows how it still permeates our outlook. He ranges over a cast of some of the greatest thinkers and artists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, including Kant, Rousseau, Diderot, Schiller, the Schlegels, Novalis, Goethe, Blake, Byron, and Beethoven. The ideas and attitudes of these and other figures, Berlin argues, helped to shape twentieth-century nationalism, existentialism, democracy, totalitarianism, and our ideas about heroic individuals, self-fulfillment, and the exalted place of art. This new edition, illustrated for the first time, also features a new foreword by philosopher John Gray, in which he discusses Berlin's belief that the influence of romanticism has been unpredictable and contradictory in the extreme, fuelling anti-liberal political movements but also reinvigorating liberalism; a revised text; and a new appendix that includes some of Berlin's correspondence about the lectures and the reactions to them.

The Death Watcher
Author: Chris Carter
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1471197638
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
Pre-order the 13th chilling and adrenaline-packed Robert Hunter thriller, from the #1 Sunday Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author, Chris Carter. When a routine autopsy on what looked like a straightforward hit-and-run leads the LA Chief Medical Examiner, Dr Carolyn Hove, to discover some puzzling inconsistencies, she calls in Detective Robert Hunter of the LAPD Ultra Violent Crimes Unit. Not only did Dr Hove discover that the death wasn’t caused by a hit-and-run, but she also found indications that the victim had been severely tortured prior to death. What no one realises is that what Dr Hove has stumbled upon is just the tip of the iceberg and it will lead Hunter and his partner, Carlos Garcia, on the trail of a twisted and clever killer who hides in plain sight. A serial killer no one even knew existed – a killer who has always operated under the radar, expertly disguising every gruesome murder as an accidental death. But with no leads as to why the victim was targeted, the investigation comes to a standstill, until another body is discovered with an alternative cause of death. What becomes clear is that this serial killer isn’t going to stop – unless Hunter and Garcia can get to him. But how do you investigate a murder when you have no victims? How do you catch a killer who leaves behind no crime scene? How do you stop a ghost who no one can prove even exists? PRAISE FOR CHRIS CARTER: ‘This is a chilling, compulsive portrait of a psychopath, and proves that Carter is now in the Jeffery Deaver class’ Daily Mail ‘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’ Crimesquad ‘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 psychological thriller’ Breakaway ‘Punchy and fast paced’ Sunday Mirror
