Описание: A long-ago kidnaping case all but abandoned resurfaces, yet its memory of lives put aside almost screens itself with a population of new life. Neighborhoods of New York, of Brooklyn Heights, a larger uncertain and disturbing America of the 1960s, this fable of a man's obsession revisits people as clues while at the center, with deceptive scope, his temporarily estranged wife's voice gathers and regathers what it is that he and she and their child have curiously going for them. All these unfolding circles of understanding in a mixed language distinctly American, by turns satirical, lyrical, eccentric, even a solvent at times simplifying the prevailingly urban as bucolic.
A city pastoral Joseph McElroy called his second novel when it first appeared in 1969; now, a half century later, we may experience in Hind's Kidnap a society reaching outward almost like a planet at risk, persons who would be dekidnaped to become ends in themselves, fiction as prophecy.
A chilling true crime book that chronicles the wave of abductions that terrorized the U.S. during the Great Depression, including the most infamous kidnapping case in American history.
A thrilling account that puts the 1932 Lindbergh baby kidnapping case, billed as the crime of the century, in the context of the thousands of other kidnappings that occurred in the U.S. during the Prohibition and Depression eras...will enthrall true crime fans.--Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
The Great Depression was a time of desperation in America--parents struggled to feed their children and unemployment was at a record high. Adding to the lawlessness of the decade, thugs with submachine guns and corrupt law-enforcement officers ran rampant. But amidst this panic, there was one sure-fire way to make money, one used by criminals and resourceful civilians alike: kidnapping.
Jump into this forgotten history with Edgar Award-winning author David Stout as he explores the reports of missing people that inundated newspapers at the time. Learn the horrifying details of these abduction cases, from the methods used and the investigative processes to the personal histories of the culprits and victims. All of this culminates with the most infamous kidnapping in American history, the one that targeted an international celebrity and changed legislation forever: the Lindbergh kidnapping.
The Kidnap Years is a gritty, visceral, thoughtfully reported page-turner that chronicles the sweep of abductions that afflicted all corners of the country as desperate people were pushed to do the unthinkable.
A fascinating crime book like no other.--David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist

Описание:
This time we join C leste and her colony of honey bees at Lavender Farm where they have been re-located due to the torrential rain and flooding at the bend in the river.
They are all in good cheer because the rain has stopped and the sun is shining brightly. But, one honey bee is not happy at all; Hive 5's Honey Brewster. Each colony has a brewster who is in charge of making honey cocktails and baking the bee bread for one and all. This particular brewster in Hive 5 makes the best honey cocktails and bee bread this side of the river and has been featured in the biznews at the honey bar. A foursome of Asian hornets get to hear of this brewster and plan to capture him and take him back to their nest. They lie in wait for the honey brewster as he returns from a failed attempt to mate with the princess of Hive 3. He is dejected and easily impressed by the hornets who take him back over the river to meet their queen and to brew some honey cocktails for their colony. Aurora, Hive 5's queen, noticing that their Brewster is not in his laboratory, sends C leste and two companions to find out where he has gone and ultimately, to bring him back. The trusty band of three foragers pick up his scent and follow it down to the river. They have to brave the windy conditions for the crossing and are in time to see Brewster being taken up into the hornets' nest. Things don't go Brewster's way and after concocting a disgusting batch of honey cocktails, he is ejected unceremoniously. C leste and crew take charge and bring Brewster home.
C leste is rewarded by gaining an award and will start as a Scout on the next foraging trip out.

Описание:
Jasper felt the plane drop at stomach-wrenching speed. A flash of lightning rippled across the windshield and briefly lit up the flight deck. He could hear the fuselage creaking as it was tortured by the high-velocity winds. They were losing altitude fast.
Jack Owen is the pilot of a floatplane that's perfect for island-hopping, but this time he's carrying a secret cargo that transforms his flight into a nightmare.
It propels him on to the greatest adventure of his life, and deep into a treacherous plot that involves a high-stakes kidnapping.
Tension turns to catastrophe when Jack meets Zelda, a woman with a gritty attitude, and sass to match. Together, they must face a psychotic killer and a ruthless tycoon who seem determined to snuff out their existence.
The flight takes them to a spectacular Pacific-island paradise, where death lurks on the beach, in the ocean, and in the air.
Strap yourself in. 'Kidnap' is an electrifying action-adventure story with an undercurrent of sexual desire.

Описание: "Philo Vance: Man of Action," said nobody never. And yet Kidnap shows real signs of Van Dine's responding both to the changing times--friends, it's not the Jazz Age any more--and to the public's changing tastes, as Philo does much less sitting around pontificating and much more running around chasing bad guys. To accommodate this new, Action Philo, the plot is somewhat simplistic, featuring not only a purloined playboy but also a demand that the ransom be left at midnight in a hollow tree. However, Philo's newfound skills with a pistol are additions to his bag of tricks, rather than replacements for the tricks we know and love; rest assured that he retains every ounce of his customary implausible charm.

Описание: It was like thick darkness during the day; not an eclipse that is predicted months and days ahead, but an unexpected event, very unexpected. The fact that one serves God Almighty does not exempt him from problems, suffering etc. Job in the Bible was a righteous man, yet, he had his own share of tribulations. It is in such situations that God demonstrates His power. Such situations can lead one to an extreme: either to adhere more closely to God, or to have doubts about God and His ability to perform. Archbishop Kattey slept on bare, wet ground for nine days and nine nights, under rains and sun surrounded by unknown and dangerous people, but in all these, he held steadfastly to his faith in God. Reptiles and wild animals seemed to avoid him. The world was praying for him. Archbishop Kattey summarises everything as "It's all about God".
