Beschreibung

Working undercover, the newest police department recruit in this southern California town is the only cop available to stop a mad bomber hellbent on wrecking a theme park's grand opening. 
All other law enforcement officers in town—and the California Highway Patrol—are outside trying to unsnarl the traffic jamming every road into this spanking new concept in family entertainment. 
The bomber is hiding somewhere inside the 150-acre park. Youthful Secretary-Matron Peggy Murphy has to find him before he blows up twenty-two thousand guests, broadcast live for national TV. 
Can Peggy stop him from turning the happiest kingdom on earth into the saddest? 
A Derringer and Macavity Award finalist acclaimed for "sharp storytelling" (Publishers Weekly), Diana Deverell brings you a thrilling short mystery with a twist. Buy "Opening Day, 1954: A Short Story" today and take a wild ride to the not-so-distant—and not-so-safe—past.

    A Tale of Two Cities is a novel by Charles Dickens. The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events.

    In her first collection since the Pulitzer Prize finalist Love in Infant Monkeys, Lydia Millet presents a web of stories that explore what it means to be home. A real-estate broker is the first character and moral center of a larger narrative about a fractured family reconnecting in unexpected ways. Warm romantic relationships, shocking tragedy, and a satisfying plot are infused, as usual, with Millet's blistering wit, dazzling intellect, and sometimes surreal touch.Fight No More introduces an eclectic cast: strong-minded female narrators beset by hapless male relations, myopic business people contending with unexpected setbacks, and beastly men doing beastly things. Fresh off the critical triumph of Sweet Lamb of Heaven, which was longlisted for the National Book Award, Millet is pioneering a new kind of satire that's hilariously brutal in its depiction of modern American life, while also being compassionate toward those who are caught up in its tidal forces.
