A Long Night in Paris

Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 164313437X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
From a former Israeli operative—and now a #1 London Times bestseller—comes the most authentic spy thriller of the year, perfect for fans of John Le Carré and Homeland. When an Israeli tech executive disappears from Charles de Gaulle airport with a woman in red at his side, logic dictates youthful indiscretion. But Israel is on a state of high alert nonetheless. And for Commissaire Léger of the Paris Police Force, all coincidences are suspect. When a second young Israeli from the flight is kidnapped, this time at gunpoint from his hotel room, his suspicions are confirmed—and a diplomatic crisis looms. As the race to identify the reasons behind the abductions intensifies, a covert Chinese commando team watches from the rooftops— while hour by hour the morgue receives fresh bodies from around Paris. This could be one long night in the City of Lights.

Chicago by Day and Night
Author: Paul Durica
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 0810129094
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Showcasing the first Ferris wheel, dazzling and unprecedented electrification, and exhibits from around the world, the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 was Chicago’s chance to demonstrate that it had risen from the ashes of the Great Fire and was about to take its place as one of the world’s great cities. Millions would flock to the fair, and many of them were looking for a good time before and after their visits to the Midway and the White City. But what was the bedazzled visitor to do in Chicago? Chicago by Day and Night: The Pleasure Seeker’s Guide to the Paris of America, a very unofficial guide to the world beyond the fair, slaked the thirst of such curious folk. The pleasures it details range from the respectable (theater, architecture, parks, churches and synagogues) to the illicit—drink, gambling, and sex. With a wink and a nod, the book decries vice while offering precise directions for the indulgence of any desire. In this newly annotated edition, Chicagoans Paul Durica and Bill Savage—who, if born earlier, might have written chapters in the original—provide colorful context and an informative introduction to a wildly entertaining journey through the Chicago of 120 years ago.

Three Hours in Paris
Author: Cara Black
Publisher: Soho Press
ISBN: 164129258X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
In June of 1940, when Paris fell to the Nazis, Hitler spent a total of three hours in the City of Light—abruptly leaving, never to return. To this day, no one knows why. Kate Rees, a young American markswoman, has been recruited by British intelligence to drop into Paris with a dangerous assignment: assassinate the Führer. Wrecked by grief after a Luftwaffe bombing killed her husband and infant daughter, she is armed with a rifle, a vendetta, and a fierce resolve. But other than rushed and rudimentary instruction, she has no formal spy training. Thrust into the red-hot center of the war, a country girl from rural Oregon finds herself holding the fate of the world in her hands. When Kate misses her mark and the plan unravels, Kate is on the run for her life—all the time wrestling with the suspicion that the whole operation was a set-up. New York Times bestselling author Cara Black is at her best as she brings Occupation-era France to vivid life in this masterful, pulse-pounding story about one young woman with the temerity—and drive—to take on Hitler himself. *Features an illustrated map of 1940s Paris as full color endpapers.

21 Days to Love
Author: Marcus Tempus
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 148172763X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Marcus Tempus is a writer based in Chicago and he had written a book about Chocolate and how some women preferred it to Sex called "Do not get between a Woman and her Chocolate". In doing the research for the book he had met Anastasia and they had agreed to go on a "Journey of Joy," and maybe fall in love. The book covers their travel experiences to Greece, Paris, London, Ireland, Marrakech and Malaysia. The travel writing is believed to be accurate and the places mentioned real. The fictional part of the book relates to the relationship that develops between Marcus and Anastasia as they become closer during their travels. A background theme is developed with Marcus who had recently fallen in love and it had changed his life. The relationship had not developed as he would have liked so he had sought the help of some spiritual advisors, and even consulted a Voodoo High Priestess, in order to understand why he had fallen in love so strongly and why he remained emotionally lost in this world of unrequited love. The advisors had told him that in a previous life, several hundred years ago, he had been a warrior named "Malin" and he had fallen in love with "Alesia" and that they were "Soul Mates" destined to meet again. Most of the advisors had told him that when he had fallen in love this was Malin and Alesia trying to connect in another life. The book explores the difficulty Marcus is experiencing in trying to reconcile all of these emotional and spiritual feelings with his no nonsense logical brain. He is left with the main questions, "Is Anastasia the latest visitation of Alesia and is she the Soul Mate that he has been seeking all along?"
