Fatal Deceptions

Autor: Joe Sharkey

Número de Páginas: 780

This collection by a New York Times journalist gathers three horrifying true accounts of crimes of passion, ambition, and fear. Author Joe Sharkey delivers three gripping accounts of betrayal and murder in this compelling American true crime collection. Above Suspicion: Soon to be a major motion picture starring Emilia Clarke and Jack Huston, this true account tells the story of the only FBI agent to confess to murder. Assigned to Pikeville, Kentucky, rookie Mike Putnam cultivated paid informants and busted drug rings and bank robbers. But when one informant fell in love with the bureau’s rising star, their passionate affair ended with murder. Deadly Greed: On October 23, 1989, Charles Stuart reported that he and his seven-months-pregnant wife, Carol, had been robbed and shot by a black male. By the time police arrived, Carol was dead, and soon the baby was lost as well. Stuart then identified a suspect: Willie Bennett. The attack incited a furor during a time of heightened racial tension in the community. But even more appalling, Stuart’s story was a hoax—he was the true killer. Death Sentence: John List was working as the vice president of a Jersey City bank and had moved...

China, State Sovereignty and International Legal Order

Autor: Phil C.w. Chan

Número de Páginas: 367

China’s rise has aroused apprehension that it will revise the current rules of international order to pursue and reflect its power, and that, in its exercise of State sovereignty, it is unlikely to comply with international law. This book explores the extent to which China’s exercise of State sovereignty since the Opium War has shaped and contributed to the legitimacy and development of international law and the direction in which international legal order in its current form may proceed. It examines how international law within a normative–institutional framework has moderated China’s exercise of State sovereignty and helps mediate differences between China’s and other States’ approaches to State sovereignty, such that State sovereignty, and international law, may be better understood.

Mais qui est Gwenn ?

Autor: Sylvio Moro

Número de Páginas: 238

Au départ de Kêr, Joseph Émile Marais ne s'attend pas à de tels rebondissements. De Kerlouan au couvent Sainte-Béatrice du Mont, il se retrouve à Ty-Lann à la recherche de Gwenn, une rousse aux yeux émeraude. Elle serait sa femme, mais il ne la connaît pas. Cette aventure se passe en Bretagne, pays de légendes et de dolmens. Entre réalité et fiction, j'ai écrit ce roman sans avoir la prétention de changer le monde, j'y soulève quand même quelques traits des comportements humains face à ses difficultés à l'imaginer différemment.

Mystery at Geneva: An Improbable Tale of Singular Happenings

Autor: Rose Macaulay

Número de Páginas: 144

In her intriguing novel, "Mystery at Geneva: An Improbable Tale of Singular Happenings," Rose Macaulay weaves a compelling narrative that blends elements of mystery, satire, and social commentary. Set against the backdrop of the Geneva Conference, the book employs a rich tapestry of linguistic wit and layered characterization, drawing readers into a world where the absurdity of politics meets the intricacies of human relationships. Macaulay's literary style is marked by sharp dialogue and a keen observational lens that highlights the eccentricities of her characters, particularly during a time of political upheaval and uncertainty in the early 20th century. Rose Macaulay was a prominent British writer whose acute insight into contemporary society was shaped by her diverse experiences and travels. The daughter of an Anglican clergyman, Macaulay was well-educated, with exposure to various cultures that informed her writing. This background, alongside her disillusionment with war and politics following the First World War, prompted her to craft a narrative that intertwines humor and seriousness, challenging the status quo while shedding light on the absurdities governing...

JFK

Autor: Salvador Rus

Número de Páginas: 323

En 2017 se cumple el primer centenario del nacimiento de John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Un hombre que, a pesar de haber estado al frente de la presidencia de su país solo 1.032 días, marcó un antes y un después en la historia tanto de los Estados Unidos como del resto del mundo y lo hizo de tal modo que ha pasado a ser un verdadero mito. Su éxito le ha permitido convertirse en un icono, en una imagen, que permanece en la memoria de muchas generaciones, porque su estilo de hacer política, diferente, joven, fresco e innovador, marcó a su generación y su influencia se ha dejado sentir en otras muchas. Este libro, en el que se cuenta con la opinión de personas que le conocieron, muestra al presidente que traspasaba los límites tradicionales que imponía el cargo, al hombre que pensaba en grande y trataba siempre de llegar más lejos, más allá de las exigencias de la situación. Además contiene diez discursos que muestran algunos aspectos fundamentales y críticos de su vida política. Finalmente, se transcribe el último discurso que llevaba preparado para el Trade Mart en el momento que fue abatido a tiros.
