Cuba — where it all began. Getting captured and shot by Cuban intelligence in Nicaragua isn’t slowing John Carpenter down. The black operative and his partner Marcela have been in more close calls than they can count, but this time is different. This time they are striking back. They have finally met their handler, Mike Morrandon, who has emerged from the shadows and they’re ready to settle the score. Mike Morrandon is on the run from his own employers at the CIA after uncovering insidious information from a questionable source, suggesting a Cuban mole in the CIA. But no one will listen, or they’re covering it up. Either way, Mike isn’t sure he can trust his own agents. But he needs them to go after Antonio Romero: the mysterious man who seems to be behind manipulations in American politics. A man with friends in high places. His only mistake? He made an enemy of John Carpenter. John is after the root cause of it all, and only one place has the answers: Cuba. But is the island willing to give up its secrets? With old enemies and new allies, everything has led up to this moment. It ends now. Third book in the John Carpenter Trilogy!Ver livro
A collection of sometimes biting, always clever commentaries on some of life's foibles -- as apt today as when Ms. Repplier wrote them in 1912. Though less know to modern readers, Repplier was in her prime ranked among the likes of Willa Cather. Note: Section 13 contains the word niggards. I put it in print here so that it will not be mistaken for a racial epithet when heard. (written by Mary Schneider)Ver livro
Anty travels to the Riviera to finally have that awkward ‘did you murder my father’ conversation with his mother, but instead finds himself in the ticklish position of defending her and an innocent elephant against charges of a murder that no one could have committed. Like all Anty Boisjoly mysteries, Reckoning at the Riviera Royale is a stand-alone stumper populated with eccentric characters and composed of impossible murder and improbable intrigues, delivered with signature Boisjoly banter, and it’s best enjoyed by those who like a little humour in their whodunnit. Anty Boisjoly is a serious experiment in a whimsical line — Christie-esque locked-room mysteries written in the style of PG Wodehouse. The reviews are in and the experiment is a success. Readers emphasise in particular the witty and whimsical first-person voice of Anty Boisjoly narrating the nevertheless twisty mysteries.Ver livro
