Book Description
Bounty hunter Gracie Boswell knows three things: the vampires want your blood, the fae want your flesh…and worst of all, the demons want your soul. Traveling through the outlaw-infested west is never an easy prospect, and it’s even harder when Gracie realizes she might be half in love with one of the men in her posse. It’s harder still when a demon starts slaughtering entire towns, and nobody else has the guts—or the lack of self-preservation—necessary to go after the demon behind the violence. As Gracie, Boone, and Carson scour the territory for the soulless menace, the local folk show them only distrust and prejudice. Turns out in this region, anyone who wields magic is suspect, and Gracie’s posse has to be just as careful of the demon as they do of the intolerant locals. Because who’s going to save those ungrateful cowherds if Gracie’s dangling from the end of a hangman’s noose? Blood Ballad is the third thrilling installment in USA Today bestselling author Liza Street’s western gothic series.

The Madam and the Spymaster
Author: Urs Brunner
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1639364307
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
This extraordinary story of a high-class Berlin brothel—taken over by the Nazi secret service—is one of the last untold tales of World War II. There is no book in English about the wartime Berlin ‘salon’ run by Kitty Schmidt under the secret control of Reinhard Heydrich, one of the architects of the Final Solution. "Salon Kitty" was the most notorious brothel in the decadent Berlin of the Weimar Republic - the city of "Cabaret." But after the Nazis took power, it became something more dangerous: a spying center with every room wired for sound, staffed by female agents specially selected by the SS to coax secrets from their VIP clients. Masterminded by Reinhard Heydrich, the spymaster whom Hitler himself called "the man with the iron heart," the exclusive establishment turned listening post was patronized by the Nazi leaders themselves, not knowing that hidden ears were listening. The Madam and the Spymaster reveals the sensational true story of this forgotten part of espionage history. The deep research undertaken by Nigel Jones, Urs Brunner and Dr Julia Schrammel sheds new light on Nazi methods of control and coercion, and the way sex was abused for their own perverse purposes.

Sandakan Brothel No. 8
Author: Tomoko Yamazaki
Publisher: M.E. Sharpe
ISBN: 9780765637833
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
This is a pioneer work on karayuki-san, poor rural Japanese women sold into overseas prostitution between the 1860s and 1930s. Sandakan Brothel No. 8 presents the life story of a former karayuki-san, Osaki, as related to the author. Persuaded as a child of ten to accept cleaning work in Sandakan, North Bornea, Osaki is soon forced into prostitution. Thousands of other young Japanese women shared a similar fate in the brothels that were established throughout Asia in conjunction with the expansion of Japanese business interests. In spite of her anger and revulsion, Osaki sends all her earnings home to improve the lot of her older brother, only to be rejected by him and his family upon her return to Japan. She is later rejected by her son, as well, who does not want his mother's social stigma to interfere with his prospects for marriage and work. Yamazaki views Osaki, as the embodiment of the suffering experienced by all Japanese women, who have long been oppressed under the dual yoke of class and gender. This sad tale could not be more relevant for present times. The translator's introduction provides a socio-historic context for understanding the sexual exploitation of Asian women before and during the Pacific War and for the growing flesh trade in Southeast Asia and Japan today. Young women are being brought to Japan with the same false promises which enticed Osaki to Borneo eighty years ago. Yamazaki Tomoko has devoted her life to documenting the history of the exchange of women between Japan and other Asian countries since 1868. She has worked directly with karayuki-san, military comfort women, war orphans, repatriates, women sent as picture brides to China and Manchuria, Asian women who have married into Japanese farming communities, and Japanese women married to other Asians in Japan. Now in its 24th printing in Japan, Sandakan hachiban shokan received the Oya Soichi Prize for Non-Fiction Literature in 1973, and was made into a movie by producer Kumai Kei in 1974. It has been translated into Korean and Chinese.
