Pages : 415
Book Description
A mystery writer gets caught up in the perfect crime in this “fresh, entertaining, tough, and sexy” thriller from the #1 bestselling author (The Washington Post). My name is Jannie Shean. I go by many other names (including, heaven help me, Brick Wall), all of them male, and all of them designed to entice the macho readers who read my hard-boiled thrillers. But after my last Big Caper novel, everything changed. My publisher decided I was out of touch and needed to get out in the real world to gain some life experience . . . Even Jannie can’t imagine what will happen when she and her pal Dick Fleming plan a major jewelry heist and getaway, only to have everything go horribly, murderously wrong. Soon Jannie’s running from the cops and the mob. This fight for her life could be the perfect fodder for her next book . . . if she lives to tell the tale.

Ride the High Country
Author: Robert Nott
Publisher: University of New Mexico Press
ISBN: 0826366090
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Director Sam Peckinpah was just starting out when MGM released Ride the High Country in 1962. He was a new kind of director: young, brash, and in a hurry to help the Western "grow up" by treating it with adult themes. Ride the High Country was something new and different, a changing Western to match a changing West. Stars Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea were old hands at this sort of thing. Ride the High Country gave the two veteran actors one last job to do and a chance to go out with some dignity. Ride the High Country helped the genre mature and adapt to turbulent, changing times. It launched Peckinpah's career by invoking the themes of honor, loyalty, and compromised ideals, the destruction of the West and its heroes, and the difficulty of doing right in an unjust world--themes developed to their pinnacle in Peckinpah's later masterpiece, The Wild Bunch.

S.O.S.: A Novel of World War 2
Author: Allan Cole
Publisher: Wildside Press LLC
ISBN: 1479436763
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
This is a fine World War 2-era historical novel (based on Allan Cole's family experiences) set in Florida, on the "Home Front". Nazi submarine attacks off the coast are but the start of the problems for local residents. But human will to overcome obstacles in the face of adversity will surely save the day...won't it? The author writes: "Between February and May of 1942, German U-boats operated with impunity off the Florida coast, sinking nearly two dozen freighters from Cape Canaveral to Key West and killing five thousand people. Residents were horrified witnesses of the attacks—the night skies were aflame and in the morning the beaches were covered with oil and tar, ship parts and charred corpses. The Germans even landed teams of saboteurs charged with disrupting war efforts in the factories of the North. This novel is based on those events. For my own purposes, I set the tale in the fictitious town of Juno Beach on the banks of the equally fictitious Seminole River—all in the very real Palm Beach County, a veritable wilderness in those long ago days. Among the witnesses were my grandfather and grandmother, who operated an orchard and ranch in the area."
