Sinopse

In "The Phantom Treasure," Harriet Pyne Grove crafts an enthralling narrative that deftly intertwines elements of mystery, adventure, and historical fiction. Set against the backdrop of a crumbling estate in the English countryside, the novel follows a group of young treasure hunters as they unravel clues that lead to a long-buried family secret. Grove employs a rich, descriptive prose style that evokes a hauntingly atmospheric landscape, drawing readers into the intricate tapestry of familial bonds and the weight of history. The novel's exploration of themes such as loss, loyalty, and the passage of time resonates with the echoes of Victorian literature while remaining vibrant and accessible to contemporary audiences. Harriet Pyne Grove, an author known for her passion for history and storytelling, draws inspiration from her own experiences of exploring her ancestors' estates as a child. Grove'Äôs academic background in literature and history informs her narrative, as she meticulously intertwines fact with fiction, resulting in a poignant reflection on how legacies shape identities. Her previous works reveal a recurring interest in the past and its influence on present-day relationships, making "The Phantom Treasure" a compelling addition to her oeuvre. I highly recommend "The Phantom Treasure" to readers who enjoy a multifaceted adventure that challenges the boundaries between myth and reality. Grove'Äôs skillful character development invites readers to engage with the protagonists emotionally, while the suspenseful plot keeps them on the edge of their seats. This novel promises not only to entertain but to inspire a deeper contemplation of one'Äôs own heritage and the mysteries that lie within.

    Fresh from the cutting room floor, The Silver Scream exposes the bloodiest behind-the-scenes details of the most gruesome, shocking, true-crime tragedy of our time. Part autopsy, part grisly director’s “cut,” this is the only book with a comprehensive exploration inside the mind of America’s notorious, celluloid-obsessed, rock star turned cinema-copycat murderer, Spencer Charnas. Bayonet Award–winning television reporter Roy Merkin is the only storyteller in possession of the journals scrawled by disgraced psychotherapist Dr. Ian Black. The Silver Scream reconstructs, with unflinching detail, how fiction became fact, art imitated death, and the most horrific movie murders by the likes of Jason, Leatherface, Freddy, Michael, and the rest became real. Merkin courageously slashes open the ghoulish mind and tortured nightmares of Spencer himself, probing deeply, with razor-sharp precision. Learn how the box office created so many oblong boxes.  
     
    Understand why this rock n’ roll heartthrob chose to stop so many human hearts.

    "It's dark tonight I hope we aren't seen," a man said to his partner in crime. 
    "It's like the old days we climb in a window and pray not to get caught," said the thief who was known as the Chameleon to his partner the Cat as they stealthily walked through the garden of their mark. 
    "The room is the third window on the second story," said the Cat examining the building. The Chameleon tested the strength of a lattice leading to it going up the wall. 
    This should work I'm surprised people are so careless with security," the Chameleon said laughing. They climbed up the lattice trying not to be pricked by the thorns of the rose that climbed up it as well. 
    "The alarm is off or it should be, but I'll disable it," said the Chameleon. 
    He cut the alarm wire and jimmied the window till it opened. 
    They climbed in the room and looked about it. 
    "The safe is behind that painting," said the Chameleon pointing at the only picture in the room. 
    "Ok who will do the work you or me?" asked the Cat who was as skilled a cracksman as the Chameleon. 
    "It's my turn you did the last job," said the Chameleon who walked over to the picture removing it handing it to the Cat to put down. 
    The Chameleon put his ear to the safe and cracked the lock and opened the door removing the contents out of the safe putting it in a backpack on the Cat's back. 
    "Got it! Let's go." said the Chameleon.These Thieves Are Dead!How can the dead commit robbery?
