Description:

From the acclaimed author of The Last Super Chef and Dan Unmasked comes a heartfelt standalone novel about community, justice, and redemption, perfect for fans of Take Back the Block and Brave Like That.
Mortimer Bray is not okay.
It seems like everything in his life is changing for the worse. After his own much-loved dog dies, he can't bring himself to carry on with his dog-walking business; there's a strange new girl who's moved into the house next door; and suddenly there's a buzzing feeling of anxiety in his head and heart when he's faced with something new.
His neighborhood, Townsend Heights, used to feel like the most comfortable place in the world. But lately, it seems like everyone is arguing, and there's uncertainty around every corner.
The neighborhood's only vacant lot is somehow behind it all, Mortimer is sure of that much. If he can unearth the lot's secret history, he just might stop the Heights from unraveling completely.
Mortimer can't save Townsend Heights on his own. But when it comes to community, you're never truly on your own-not as long as you're willing to learn from the past, in order to do better in the future.

Description:

" The Dorothy Parker of detective fiction" (William Ruehlmann) ghostwrites for silver-screen sleuth George Sanders in this "thriller with laughs on the side" (New York Herald-Tribune).

The snarky and debonair actor George Sanders (who would go on to win an Academy Award for his performance in All About Eve) has had enough of playing a B-movie detective in the Falcon film series. He's thrilled to land a role against type in an epic historical adventure opposite the hottest bombshell in Hollywood. Then, as the shooting begins . . . the shooting begins. During an all-too-authentic action scene, a background sap in a glue-on beard takes a real bullet. A tragic accident, or something more sinister?

Everyone now expects the big-screen sleuth to draw on his detection skills. But those murders were scripted. Being a pro, he's tempted to improvise-especially when he learns the victim was much more than some hapless extra. Unfortunately, the slug is traced back to Sanders's gun, a key reel of evidence disappears, and the gentleman rogue himself becomes the star suspect. For Sanders, finding the real culprit in a world of illusion is going to be the most exacting performance of his life-right up until the killer fadeout.

Having written two films in the Falcon series- The Falcon's Brother and The Falcon in Danger-Craig Rice was a natural ghostwriter for capturing George Sanders's trademark tone, a stiff dry cocktail of snark and sophistication. The result? "Lots of fun" ( The New York Times).

Description:

One day in the spring of 1941, Kay Bryant walked along a bombed London street in which she had rented a room before the war. She had come to see what the blitz had done to Little Carberry Street, and now that No. 10 had vanished completely, there was a chance she might be able to forget some of the horror associated with the house, and at last blot out its grim memories of murder. It all began when a gun was found hidden under the floorboards - a gun which had been used in the murder of the room's previous occupant. The police were convinced that the murderer would be found among the inhabitants of No. 10, yet to Kay this seemed impossible, for all of them were her friends. At the time, each of them appeared to think it was someone else, and there was a case for any of them to have done it. But one of them knew too much, and a further death took place. In present day, reunited with Inspector Cory among the ruins, Kay vividly relived those days of suspicion. For she knew one thing the other tenants didn't. Did Inspector Cory know it too?

Description:

The best carnival barker in the business couldn't have drawn a crowd like the one now gathered around the Ferris wheel on the pier. In one of the cabs, still rocking with the ocean breeze, is a dead man-a bloody knife protruding from his back. Why the notorious gambling boss Jerry McGurn was killed is no mystery. Who did it is. And there's only one probable witness to the crime. As bystanders go, Ellen Haven comes across as innocent: pretty enough, plus her blue eyes well up with tears at the mere mention of something as awful as murder. Homicide detective Art Smith wants to believe she didn't see a thing. Why would she lie? Then again, why else would she suddenly vanish? And Smith isn't the only one looking for her; so is a brutal ex-con, fresh out of San Quentin, with a score to settle. Smith knows he'd better find her first, but Ellen is leading both men into a hall of mirrors where illusions of guilt and innocence can shatter with a single gunshot. A former crime reporter, Craig Rice was "the first writer of detective fiction to make the cover of Time magazine. Her hardcover sales figures matched those of her bestselling contemporaries Rex Stout, Ellery Queen, Erle Stanley Gardner, and Raymond Chandler. She's worth remembering" (Jon L. Breen, Edgar Award-winning author).

Description:

A moving and uproarious portrait of a modern American loser from the award-winning author of the Albert Samson Mysteries

Small-time hustler and ex-jailbird Jan Moro is trying hard to make an honest living for a change. Never at a loss for a story or a moneymaking idea, he discovers that finding a backer, or even a place to sleep, in the alleys and bars of Indianapolis can lead a guy into worlds of trouble.

Reminiscent of the works of Elmore Leonard, with its loquacious, larger-than-life protagonist and singular cast, Underdog is a comedy about life, death, and cashing in.

epub | 3.07 MB | English | | Author: Pablo Neruda | Year: 1924

Description:

Veinte poemas de amor y una canci?n desesperada (Twenty Love Poems and A Song of Despair) es una de las m?s c?lebres obras del poeta chileno Pablo Neruda (1904-1973). Publicado en 1924, el poemario lanz? a su autor a la fama con apenas 19 a?os de edad, y es una de las obras literarias de mayor renombre del siglo XX en la lengua castellana.
El libro pertenece a la ?poca de juventud del poeta, ya que fue escrito y publicado cuando no contaba a?n con veinte a?os. Su origen se suele explicar como una evoluci?n consciente de su po?tica que trata de salirse de los moldes del modernismo que dominaban sus primeras composiciones y su primer libro, Crepusculario.
La obra est? compuesta por veinte poemas de tem?tica amorosa, m?s un poema final titulado La canci?n desesperada. A excepci?n de este ?ltimo, los poemas no tienen t?tulo.
Aunque el poemario est? basado en experiencias amorosas reales del joven Neruda, es un libro de amor que no se dirige a una sola amante. El poeta ha mezclado en sus versos las caracter?sticas f?sicas de varias mujeres reales de su primera juventud para crear una imagen de la amada irreal que no corresponde a ninguna de ellas en concreto, sino que representa una idea puramente po?tica de su objeto amoroso.

Description:

An ex-actress, her son, and his boyfriend flee the scorched California landscape in this "wonderfully engaging tale of both family and the underside of fame." -Natalie Jenner, international-bestselling author of The Jane Austen Society

Iris Flynn is an acerbic, self-sufficient seventy-three-year-old widow with a minor past as a B-list actress and a streamlined kitchen inspired by Marie Kondo. But her composed and simplified existence is disrupted when her son Frank lands on her doorstep after his rental home is destroyed in a wildfire, the latest in a string of personal setbacks for Frank. He arrives with Logan, his young and handsome boyfriend, a featured extra on a teen soap opera with a loyal Instagram following.

Soon, news from Iris's estranged family in Maine forces everyone out of their comfort zone. Iris convinces Frank and Logan to travel with her to the potato farm from which she made a quick getaway fifty years earlier, unleashing a funny and poignant family saga about secrets, forgiveness, and the shifting map of the human heart. Underburn is an extraordinary story about family resilience, missed connections, and second chances that assures us it's sometimes okay to create our own Hollywood endings.

"Gaythwaite's debut novel Underburn mirrors the deceptive richness of the very generational ties it so charmingly explores: the long memories, conflicts big and small, surprisingly pivotal moments, and rediscovered bonds. One rarely encounters characters drawn with such candor, warmth, and humanity: you will gladly cheer and care for everyone as they seek to make peace with the past, while risking it all for a brand-new future." -Natalie Jenner
