Описание: An American Crime and the Birth of the FBI. From the bestselling author of `The Lost City of Z`, now a major film starring Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller and Robert Pattison, comes a true-life murder story which became one of the newly-created FBI`s first major homicide investigations. In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. As the death toll climbed, the FBI took up the case...

Описание: THE TWENTY ETUDES FOR PIANO were composed during the years from 1991 to 2012. Their final configuration into Book 1 and Book 2 was determined by the music itself in the course of its composition.
Book 1 (Etudes 1-10) had a twin objective - to explore a variety of tempi, textures and piano techniques. At the same time it was meant to serve as a pedagogical tool by which I would improve my piano playing. In these two ways, Book 1 succeeded very well. I learned a great deal about the piano and in the course of learning the music, I became a better player.
New projects came along and interrupted the work on the Etudes for several years. Perhaps for that reason, when I took up work with the Etudes again I found the music was following a new path. Though I had settled questions of piano technique for myself in Book 1, the music in Book 2 quickly began to suggest a series of new adventures in harmony and structure.
In this way, Books 1 and 2, taken together, suggest a real trajectory that includes a broad range of music and technical ideas.
In the end, the Etudes are meant to be appreciated not only by the general listener, but especially by those who have the ability and patience to learn, play and perform the music themselves.

Описание: "Dating Dead Men, Harley Jane Kozak's hilarious debut novel, proves that the search for love can be as funny as it is deadly."--Kris Neri, author of the Agatha, Anthony and Macavity Award-nominated Tracy Eaton mysteries
Los Angeles greeting-card artist Wollie Shelley is dating forty men in sixty days as research for a radio talk show host's upcoming book, How to Avoid Getting Dumped All the Time. Wollie is meeting plenty of eligible bachelors but not falling in love, not until she stumbles over a dead body en route to Rio Pescado--a state-run mental hospital--and is momentarily taken hostage by a charismatic doctor who is on the run from the Mob. Wollie fears that her beloved brother, a paranoid schizophrenic living at Rio Pescado, is involved in the murder, so rather than go to the authorities, she decides to solve the crime on her own. As she meets up with an array of small-time crooks and swaggering mobsters only slightly more sinister than the men she's been dating, Wollie realizes that getting dumped is the least of her problems. Finding true love, she discovers, sometimes means learning how to avoid getting killed . . . Dating Dead Men will keep readers guessing until the final bullet is shot--and cheering for the irresistible Wollie as she makes her way out of confusion and into the welcoming embrace of Mr. Right.

Описание:
The year is 2192. Much of the world that we once knew is now left to a declining decay of hopelessness and resentment. Meaningless wars over power have ravaged and divided colonies, while people struggle for an explanation as to why. For thirty-two-year-old Gretan Hutchen, one particular war is about to meet him head-on. A war so personal for Gretan, he begins to travel down a road of self-discovery, love, adversity, and his obligation to protect what is right in his world.
Born into severe sickness and left abandoned in a park bathroom, Gretan fights for his life to survive and later becomes adopted into a grieving family who has suffered traumatic losses-much as he has. Enduring a somewhat difficult life riddled with tragedy and disappointment, Gretan later discovers, through his grandmother, that he was born with an uncanny ability that many are unaware of-the ability to see and communicate with the Sleepless dead.
Harnessing his newfound ability, Gretan comes across a young Sleepless lady that continues to pique his interest. After much research and mysterious clues, he discovers that this world is nothing as he once imagined it. Evil forces, known as the Ancients, now lurk about with a diabolical agenda-kidnap the Sleepless dead and convert them to their ranks.
Feeling determined, Gretan knows deep down inside, failure is not an option for him-for he is ready to protect, fight, and sacrifice for what is right in this world.
