Epstein
Author: Dylan Howard
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1510758232
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This is—for the first time—the full and unedited story behind the sick life and mysterious death of Jeffrey Epstein that is being called one of the most significant scandals in American history He was the billionaire financier and close confidant of presidents, prime ministers, movie stars and British royalty, the mysterious self-made man who rose from blue-collar Brooklyn to the heights of luxury. But while he was flying around the world on his private jet and hosting lavish parties at his private island in the Caribbean, he also was secretly masterminding an international child sex ring—one that may have involved the richest and most influential men in the world. The conspiracy of corruption was an open secret for decades. And then this summer, it all came crashing down. After his arrest on sex trafficking charges in July, it seemed Epstein’s darkest secrets would finally see the light. But hopes for true justice were shattered on August 10 this year, when he was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, New York. The verdict: suicide. The timing: convenient, to say the least. Now, Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales delivers bombshell new revelations, uncovers how the man President Trump once described as a “terrific guy” abused hundreds of underage girls at his mansions in Palm Beach and Manhattan… all while entertaining the world’s most powerful men—including President Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Donald Trump himself. How much did they know about his perversions? And did they take part? How might they have helped him to continue his abuse, and to escape justice for it? What responsibility might they have for his sudden, shocking death? And is there a shocking spy and blackmail story at the heart of the scandal? The answers to these questions and more will be explored in Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales with groundbreaking new reporting, never-before-seen court files, and interviews with new witnesses and confidants. Combining the very best investigative reporting from investigative journalists Dylan Howard, Melissa Cronin and James Robertson—who have been covering the case for close to a decade—will send shockwaves through the highest levels of the establishment.

Book Description
The International Bestseller from the author The New York Times called "blisteringly funny" — it's the wild and wooly crew from Trainspotting back for one last adventure You don't need to have seen the blockbuster movie—nor read the earlier mega-bestselling books—to get what's going on in Dead Men's Trousers: Four no-longer-young men who constantly think back to their bawdy, drug-filled youth together on the streets of Edinburgh, decide they want to join forces for one last caper. Careful what you wish for... "Manages a sort of ragged glory, a life-affirming comic energy . . . A whooping last hurrah for the Trainspotting gang." —The Guardian "Crackles with idiomatic energy and brio." —Publishers Weekly Mark Renton is finally a success. He now makes significant money managing DJs, but the constant travel, airport lounges, soulless hotel rooms, and broken relationships have left him dissatisfied with life. Then he runs into his old partner in crime, Frank Begbie, from whom he'd been hiding for years. But the psychotic Begbie appears to have reinvented himself as a celebrated artist in Los Angeles, and doesn't seem interested in revenge. Meanwhile, back in Edinburgh, Sick Boy and Spud are intrigued to learn that their old friends are back in town, and concoct a new scheme for them all . . . Which is when things start to go horribly wrong. The four men, driven by their personal histories and addictions, circle each other, confused, angry, and desperate. One of these four will not survive . . . Which one is wearing Dead Men's Trousers? Fast and furious, scabrously funny, and weirdly moving, this is a spectacular return of the crew from Trainspotting.

Pages : 8
Book Description
"Wildside Press is proud to present the second of Fletcher Flora’s series featuring police detective Lt. Joseph Marcus, as part of our ongoing effort to make Flora’s collected work available again to the public. We plan to release the entire series. While Flora had a long career writing much crime, mystery, and detective fiction, Marcus seems to be his only attempt to create a series character. Marcus, as a character, is marked by his dogged rationality, as he attempts to solve various “inexplicable” murders and crimes, much to the annoyance of his compatriot Bobo Fuller. We have been able to identify nine stories featuring the character—although as always we ask fans and aficionados to inform us of any we have missed. Note: while many online sources list the Fletcher Flora story “The Capsule” (from Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine, December 1964) as being part of the Marcus series, it does not actually feature the character. “The Capsule” can be read in Wildside Press’s The Second Fletcher Flora Mystery MEGAPACK®. We hope you enjoy this classic 1964 detective story."

Book Description
Sequel Alert: Dead Men Don’t Eat Quiche, is the sequel to the hilarious Dead Men Don’t Chew Gum. It’s highly recommended that you read “Gum” first. - What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Hungrier… Rika’s father, Chef Diego Martín, has finally been able to return to Los Angeles after 15 years, brought over to work in the VIP Center restaurant of the Temple of Microtology by its founders. But, a month later, his sous chef is found dead, Diego, missing. Rika is panicked at the thought of losing her one living parent permanently. All she knows is that she has to find her father, and she needs Nick Owen by her side. Not one night passed in the last six months that Nick hasn’t lain awake thinking of Rika, even though he’s given up hope she’ll contact him. It’s for the best, anyway. They weren’t right for each other. But when she calls and asks him to fly to L.A., nothing can stop him from racing to her side. And when he sees her again, she’s even more beautiful than she was last summer. However, he may not be prepared for what he discovers in her hometown, like Rika’s formidable grandmother who treats him like molester, the fact that L.A. men find him really, really attractive, or the weird Hollywood cult members who are spying on him and Rika. Oh, and maybe worst of all—LeeAnne. Nick never wants to see tears in Paprika’s beautiful eyes again. But is there really a chance of finding her father alive and solving the murder before the Microtologists get them, too? - More about this series: Is this series humorous? Yes, most readers find it laugh-out-loud funny. Is this series romantic? Yes, while each funny mystery is solved at the end of each book, the romance between the geek girl heroine and the "cowboy" lawyer grows throughout the series. Is there action? Yes, it's full of original, often wild and quirky, action scenes. Will this series have warm, touching, uplifting moments like the Nina Cordoba romantic comedies? Yes, Nina is all about creating unique, unforgettable characters you can feel with. Does it matter which order I read them in? Due to the many revelations about recurring characters as you get to know them as well as the humor "call backs" to earlier books, this series is best read in order.
