A crazed killer has been nursing a grudge… The friendly nurses tending to a wounded Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long give a whole new meaning to working the night shift. But despite the bedside manner of these angels dressed in white, Longarm has serious business to attend to. Rogue lawman Eli Pittman put a slug in Marshal Billy Vail before using Longarm for target practice as well. Now the deranged deputy has lit out for Arizona Territory, and Longarm’s hell-bent on catching the man. But he won’t be making this journey alone—the very lovely Nurse Danby has fled her fiancé to run off with Longarm. And if Pittman is as good with a gun as they say he is, Longarm may just need a nurse at his side…

The other passengers deny any knowledge of her existence and as the train speeds across Europe, Iris spirals deeper and deeper into a strange and dangerous conspiracy.

That Greece Might Still be Free
Author: William St. Clair
Publisher: Open Book Publishers
ISBN: 1906924007
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
When in 1821, the Greeks rose in violent revolution against the rule of the Ottoman Turks, waves of sympathy spread across Western Europe and the United States. More than a thousand volunteers set out to fight for the cause. The Philhellenes, whether they set out to recreate the Athens of Pericles, start a new crusade, or make money out of a war, all felt that Greece had unique claim on the sympathy of the world. As Byron wrote, 'I dreamed that Greece might Still be Free'; and he died at Missolonghi trying to translate that dream into reality. William St Clair's meticulously researched and highly readable account of their aspirations and experiences was hailed as definitive when it was first published. Long out of print, it remains the standard account of the Philhellenic movement and essential reading for any students of the Greek War of Independence, Byron, and European Romanticism. Its relevance to more modern ethnic and religious conflicts is becoming increasingly appreciated by scholars worldwide. This new and revised edition includes a new Introduction by Roderick Beaton, an updated Bibliography and many new illustrations.
