Opening Shots - Volume Two - Lawrence Block - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

Opening Shots - Volume Two - Lawrence Block - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

This second volume of Opening Shots is a collection of twenty-three first stories published by prominent mystery and crime writers. Some of these offerings are remarkably mature, professional work. Others are more obviously early works, before the writers'' skills reached full maturity. But every one of them is a pleasure to read, and in each can be seen the seed of the writer''s craft. "Each writer has included an introduction worth the price of admission all by themselves," observes Block. "Writers, it seems to me, are never more eloquent or more interesting that when they reminisce about their early days, and recalling one''s first success seems a spur of anecdotage for most of us." Following on the heels of the successful first volume of this series, the stories in this stellar field include: "Final Rites" by Doug Allyn • "Don''t Kill a Karate Fighter" by William Chambers • "Entrapped" by Harlan Coben • "Yellow Gal" by Michael Collins • "Together" by Jeffrey Deaver • "The Rough Boys" by Harlan Ellison • "Tole My Cap''n" by Joe Gores • "Layover" by Ed Gorman • "A Bunch of Mumbo-Jumbo" by Jan Grape • "The Cure" by David Handler • "Till Tuesday" by Jeremiah Healy • "Village of the Dead" by Edward D. Hoch • "Chalk" by Evan Hunter • "It''s a Wise Child Who Knows" by Stuart Kaminsky • "Who Killed Cock Robin?" by H. R. F. Keating • "Medford & Son" by Dick Lochte • "Thieves'' Honor" by John Lutz • "Not All Brides Are Beautiful" by Sharyn McCrumb • "Manslaughter" by Joyce Carol Oates • "You Don''t Know What It''s Like" by Bill Pronzini • "The Disappearance of Penny" by Robert J. Randisi • "A Victim Must Be Found" by Henry Slesar • "Blue Rose" by Peter Straub • "A Bad Night For Burglars" by Lawrence Block

Where Shadows Go - Eugenia Price - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

Where Shadows Go - Eugenia Price - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

A new edition of Book 2 in the best selling Georgia Trilogy, presented by Turner Publishing For more than twenty-eight years, Eugenia Price, America’s first lady of storytelling, has enchanted millions of readers worldwide with her gripping and evocative historical sagas. Now, with Where Shadows Go , the sequel to her bestselling novel Bright Captivity , Ms. Price re-creates life on a nineteenth-century plantation for her most dramatic and resonant novel yet. After giving up a career as a British Royal Marine, John Fraser agrees to his wife Anne’s fondest wish: that they return from London to Cannon’s Point, her family’s plantation on St. Simons Island, Georgia. John learns about coastal planting from Anne’s father, Jock Couper, and her brother, James Hamilton, both world-renowned for their agricultural expertise. From day one it’s a struggle for John, for he must not only master the techniques of planting and harvesting, but he must—contrary to his deepest beliefs—become a slave owner. Anne, who grew up surrounded by slaves, comfortably resumes her way of life. As John works hard at settling into his new lifestyle, he and Anne begin to raise a family. Enter the famous English actress Fanny Kemble Butler, who decides to pay a visit. She makes quite a splash on St. Simons, with her sophisticated ways, her outspoken opinions on the evil of slavery, and her stylish riding costumes. With the dynamic and fiercely abolitionist Fanny to influence her, Anne slowly starts to realize how immoral the Southern institution of slavery is. Reluctant to give up her familiar way of life, she is nonetheless forced to begin to rethink her beliefs—especially when it comes to Eve, her personal slave and best friend. For when tragedy strikes the Fraser family, it is Eve who provides Anne with the comfort and spiritual guidance that enable her to live through her life-shattering ordeal. Filled with characters drawn from history, lore, and Ms. Price’s own vivid imagination, Where Shadows Go is a powerful story of love, courage, and friendship that is sure to capture the hearts and minds of new readers and devoted fans alike.
