Sinossi

Ivano-Frankivsk region homicide investigator Danila Nimak is not like everyone else.He has little interest in everyday life and family. Work is everything to him.And now he is in the epicenter of the incident on the trail of Dovbush. The execution of the elderly teacher from Lvov is obvious to him. With his instinct of an experienced hunter, Danila finds the killer's business card in the mouth of the corpse. He realizes that this is no ordinary murderer.That same day, for some unknown reason, he is removed from the case. However, Danila doesn't stop there. Enlisting the support of the ubiquitous journalist of the main TV channel of Ukraine, Nadezhda Avdeeva, Nimak continues to investigate.Whoever disturbs Danila, tries to incriminate him in a criminal case against himself. In fact, forcing the investigator and the journalist to hide from law enforcement agencies.At one point, when Danila and Nadezhda have a lead to the perpetrator, they are surrounded by law enforcement officers right in the hotel.But, the dodgy Nimak, taking his boss hostage, escapes the chase. The freedom doesn't last long. The KORD fighters take them in, and as it turns out, not to shut them up.Minister of Internal Affairs Avazov meets the couple in the woods at a hunting lodge. The politician offers to continue the investigation and agrees to cooperate with the Belarusian security forces.The couple travels to Belarus to investigate a series of similar murders that began decades ago.But whoever started this game is playing it dashingly.Nimak is accused of a murder that took place in Belarus on the day they crossed the border exactly where they were.It is obvious that everything done in Belarus is known to the Russian secret service. The couple is secretly transported to Moscow.They start beating Danila, at the last moment he spits in the face of the colonel...Avdeeva is tried for illegal crossing of the Russian border. She faces a prison term.But at the trial she is released. Avdeeva is freed at the trial. A flight from Ukraine is sent for her by Avazov.Danila wakes up in the cell of the most famous prison of the federation - Black Dolphin.He is serving a life sentence. Here the living envy the dead. But! Our hero doesn't give up, even here he plans an escape. And paradoxically, he succeeds.Escaping from pursuit, he crosses the border of Kazakhstan. Local patriots help Danila get to the Ukrainian embassy.Danila is reinstated to duty. Nadezhda and the investigator continue to investigate. Eventually, the couple ends up in the village of Belokorovichi, in the Zhytomyr region. They meet with Kutsepalov, and he tells a story of murders dating back to 1947.It turns out that all this is connected with the red-headed enkahedrons. Kutsepalov, aka Churasov, commander of a special punitive detachment. On whose conscience thousands of mutilated, raped, burned, hanged, thrown off cliffs and buried alive patriots of Ivano-Frankovsk region, who fought against any occupation.At some point, Danila's nerves give out listening to this hellish executioner's confession, and he pulls the trigger.Nadezhda and Danila bury the corpse in the woods. They return to the house, and there is an ambush. The killers are waiting for them.The mother, and her two adopted sons. She is the one who avenges her crippled youth. It was Churasov who first raped her, the girl, and then threw her into the abyss. She survived, left for the rest of her life with a disfigured psyche and appearance.Danila and Nadezhda now know everything up close and personal. Who, and why they killed. Such knowledge does not suit the killers.They take the couple for further elimination without trace

    The true story of James Howard Snook, Theora Hix, and one of the most shocking crimes of the 1920s. 
     
     
      
    In the sweltering summer of 1929, the people of Columbus, Ohio, were enthralled by the story of Dr. James Howard Snook—an Ohio State University veterinary professor and Olympic gold medal-winning pistol shooter who was put on trial for the murder of his twenty-four-year-old lover, a medical student. 
     
     
      
    This riveting account reveals how Snook was captured and interrogated, including his gory confession of Theora Hix's death. During the trial, the details of the illicit love affair were so salacious that newspapers could only hint about what really led to the coed's murder and the professor's ultimate punishment. This is the first full account of this astonishing story, from scandalous beginning to tragic end.

    Fox News war correspondent Trey Yingst shares his gripping, firsthand account of the events of October 7, 2023, and the ensuing war, offering riveting insight and fresh facts that clarify the scope and magnitude of this latest and most dramatic outbreak in one of the bloodiest, most nuanced, and longest-standing conflicts in modern history. 
    On the morning of October 7, 2023, the militant group known as Hamas launched a vicious attack on Israel in the most recent stage of the deeply complicated and decades-long Israel-Palestine conflict. The assault, which took place on Shabbat—the day of rest for the Jewish people—instantly became known among Israelis and the world as “Black Saturday.” 
    On October 7, Fox News Correspondent Trey Yingst was on the ground along the Gaza border and witnessed firsthand the devastation, shock, and deep sorrow that whirled through Israel. A seasoned journalist who has reported from some of the most dangerous hotspots around the world, including the frontlines in Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, Yingst was just one among many people plunged into the terrifying chaos of that horrific event. In this shocking and eye-opening chronicle, he pieces together the story of that tragic day and reveals how he risked his life searching for answers to essential questions in real time--who within Israel had been attacked; what happened to them; who, potentially, was next--while exploring the impact on both Israelis and Palestinians as a full-scale war ramps up and peace grows more elusive. “We have a responsibility now to account for and record these events—and tell the world the truth,” Yingst writes. “We cannot look away.” 
    Committed to reporting the whole truth, on both sides of the Israel-Gaza border, Yingst interviewed a range of exclusive contacts to incorporate multiple perspectives. From conversations with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and high-ranking soldiers, to interviews with Senior Hamas official Dr. Bassem Naim and Gazan journalist Nael Ghaboun, to heartbreaking accounts from civilians placed in the crosshairs of the attack and conflict that followed, Yingst takes us inside the newest phase of an old war in which thousands more people—men, women, and children—are suffering. 
    Combining candor, grit, and veracity, Yingst paints a vivid picture of horrors and violence, matched by acts of courage and humanity that cut through the darkness. A testament to unwavering resilience and tenacity, Black Saturday is the riveting chronicle of one journalist’s experience relentlessly pursuing the truth in the face of terror.

    Thomas Henry Lyon (1869–1953) was an important architect whose work has often been ignored, because he did not take up the Modernist ideas of many of his contemporaries. His work was also almost entirely concentrated in either Cambridge or the edge of Dartmoor. His contribution to the inter-War development of the Colleges of Cambridge was immense and often overlooked: this book seeks to restore his reputation.
    
     
    The book restores to public consciousness the extensive architectural work carried out by Lyon, particularly in Cambridge, and does not gloss over the disaster of a church in Wembley which had to be closed after less than 30 years. It also looks at the important work he carried out in South Australia in the pre-1914 age, as well as his masterly reconstruction and furnishing of Sidney Sussex College chapel, which established his reputation. It has been extensively researched in archives across England, but particularly in those of the Colleges of Cambridge.

    Tyrell and Julia booked to travel on the Titanic with their two sons to introduce them to their American grandfather, but the children were too ill to travel. Julia persisted in going without them. The fatal and tragic decision not only led to the unnecessary loss of her husband, it was to haunt her for the next fifty years. Why was she so determined to go? In a letter written to her sons, as her death approached, she claimed the purpose of the visit was 'to gain her wealthy father's support for his son-in-law's ambition to stand as a Member of Parliament.' Yet Tyrell had shown no enthusiasm for making the journey, as Julia had already made the trip alone, the previous year quite safely. From the Carpathia Julia cabled her father, Henry Siegel, to have clothes from his department stores ready for the Titanic's survivors. In 1992 and 2002 her son and grandson learnt from chance encounters with New Yorkers of Julia's father's shocking fall from grace, the grandfather who owned a famous department store with a 'soda fountain meeting place'. Now can be revealed the true reason for her mission.

    Author : Harbhajan Singh Cheema 
    Historians have provided information in their writings at various times about those diplomats and travelers who came to Punjab during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and shortly thereafter, but this information has often been very brief. Therefore, through this series of articles, the aim is to share the unbiased firsthand accounts of these diplomats and travelers regarding the Sikh states on the other side of the Sutlej, Punjab, Multan, Sindh, the Sindh river, areas of the Sindh region, Peshawar, Jammu and Kashmir, Kabul, and Central Asia, along with details about the Sikh Empire and Maharaja Ranjit Singh. This effort is made so that readers can feel pride in knowing about the great legacy and fame of their Sikh Empire and also uncover some hidden truths that have remained absent from Sikh history books until now.
