Book Description
Rina Lazarus has some shocking news for her husband, LAPD Lieutenant Peter Decker. A horrible murder has occurred in the family of his half-brother, Rabbi Jonathan Levin. The rabbi's brother-in-law was found slain in a seedy hotel room in upper Manhattan, and the victim's 15-year-old niece, with whom he was spending the day, is missing. Decker, with Rina at his side, immediately heads out to New York to assist in the investigation. But what starts out as simple inquiries soon evolves into a twisted and perilous journey -- from the darkened slums of New Jersey and the deserted industrial streets of New York to the recesses of sexual perversity and the hidden meeting places of Hasidic outcasts. Thrust into a deadly maze of deceit, lies, and danger, the couple can no longer trust anyone -- friend or family. And when salvation is finally within Decker's grasp, it can only be delivered by a depraved lone wolf, hell-bent on his own personal vengeance.

I'm going to make good on my promise to protect my best friend’s daughter from everyone… except me. Stone My years enforcing the law, both within and beyond its limits, have left me with scars—scars that I wear like armor, shielding me from the world. I found peace protecting Mustang Mountain, a place as rugged and unwelcoming as my own heart. Then everything I’ve known is thrown upside down. My best friend has switched sides, and I’m left to protect his daughter… The one woman who has the potential to destroy the walls around my heart. Addy I've spent my life in the shadows of Mustang Mountain, the sheriff's daughter hiding in plain sight, quietly working towards my dreams.

The same man who's always been off-limits, my father's best friend, now holds my safety and my heart in his hands. In a town where everyone knows your name and your secrets, can a love born from forbidden moments withstand the storm of judgment? Welcome to Mustang Mountain, where engines roar and loyalty reigns supreme. Beneath the shadowy peaks of the mountain, the Mustang Mountain Riders defend their ground against a dangerous gang trying to take over their small town. Forged in fire and steel, these bikers face threats head-on, riding hard and fighting even harder. While they brave countless battles, nothing prepares them for love sparked by the curvy women who steal their hearts.

In the Name of Elijah Muhammad
Author: Mattias Gardell
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 9780822318453
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
In the Name of Elijah Muhammad tells the story of the Nation of Islam—its rise in northern inner-city ghettos during the Great Depression through its decline following the death of Elijah Muhammad in 1975 to its rejuvenation under the leadership of Louis Farrakhan. Mattias Gardell sets this story within the context of African American social history, the legacy of black nationalism, and the long but hidden Islamic presence in North America. He presents with insight and balance a detailed view of one of the most controversial yet least explored organizations in the United States—and its current leader. Beginning with Master Farad Muhammad, believed to be God in Person, Gardell examines the origins of the Nation. His research on the period of Elijah Muhammad’s long leadership draws on previously unreleased FBI files that reveal a clear picture of the bureau’s attempts to neutralize the Nation of Islam. In addition, they shed new light on the circumstances surrounding the murder of Malcolm X. With the main part of the book focused on the fortunes of the Nation after Elijah Muhammad’s death, Gardell then turns to the figure of Minister Farrakhan. From his emergence as the dominant voice of the radical black Islamic community to his leadership of the Million Man March, Farrakhan has often been portrayed as a demagogue, bigot, racist, and anti-Semite. Gardell balances the media’s view of the Nation and Farrakhan with the Nation’s own views and with the perspectives of the black community in which the organization actively works. His investigation, based on field research, taped lectures, and interviews, leads to the fullest account yet of the Nation of Islam’s ideology and theology, and its complicated relations with mainstream Islam, the black church, the Jewish community, extremist white nationalists, and the urban culture of black American youth, particularly the hip-hop movement and gangs.
