Book Description
Ever visit one of those neighborhoods where everyone knows each other, where you can borrow a tool, a book, a cup of flour -- or maybe a cup of blood? To save their centuries-old heritage of togetherness, the urban enclave of Little Carpathia needs a film to be made to sell some property to a prominent condo developer. Enticed by the beautiful Helga with her sea-green eyes, filmmaker Lazlo Goldman accepts a commission from the Carpathians. A biker gang, the Carpathian Gypsies, is the neighborhood’s private patrol and will act as “security” for the production. Nervous about the project, Lazlo asks his friend, Jake Horvak, to join the film crew. After serving as a Ranger in the U.S. Army and then in “Black Ops” for the C.I.A., Jake Horvak has made a new, quiet life for himself as an insurance investigator in his hometown of Steelport. Jake accepts Lazlo’s offer. A gruesome conspiracy and circle of deadly events begins to close around the film crew, forcing Horvak to dredge up his old skills – and personal demons. The lethal, explosive conclusion rampages through the night streets of Steelport as Little Carpathia battles for its existence.

Danny Blanchflower
Author: Dave Bowler
Publisher: Orion
ISBN: 1409146782
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
The biography of Danny Blanchflower In these days of player' agents, corporate hospitality, share options and television bonuses, it's often the football, the glory and the romance of the game, that gets overlooked. Back in the 1950s and 1960s there was no footballer in love with his trade than Danny Blanchflower. An elegant and inspirational midfield force, he captained the Spurs 1961 Double-winning side and led Northern Ireland, against the odds, to the quarter-finals of the 1958 World Cup. Equally eloquent off the field, he was no stranger to controversy, writing about the game with a great clarity and passion, and working tirelessly as an innovator, forever trying to transform football as a spectacle for player and fan alike. Drawing on extensive interviews with family, friends and colleagues (including Jackie Blanchflower, Sir Stanley Matthews, Johnny Haynes, Geoff Hurst, Pat Jennings and Derek Dougan), Dave Bowler skilfully recounts the story of one of football's greatest thinkers and iconoclasts.
