UN-CORRECTED PROOF * IMAGINE* You have a really close friend, one you see everyday, one with whom you have exchanged confidences and shared experiences, and had so many fun times together. Imagine the worst possible disease, and then think how you would feel if you found out your friend had it. Imagine watching your buddy as he fought such a horrible disease, seeing him succumb to that disease---a person you love, a friend who has been such an important part of your life. Now imagine(although some may find this part nearly impossible) almost every person you come upon as having nothing but derogatory remarks about your best friend's behavior, about the way he died, about the way he was. Your friend, you knew, was an extremely nice guy. A kind man, a generous employer, a loving person. Oh...did I mention this friend was well-known, a once very famous and beloved Superstar? Yet, because of the...circumstances surrounding his death, the discrimination because he was gay, and the atrociousness of the out and out lies by his accuser, such an inaccurate portrait was painted of your friend that you hardly recognized him as the fine man you knew. In fact, twenty-five years after his demise, your friend is still chiefly remembered because he had AIDS. Not that he was a talented actor who entertained millions of people. Not for the all-around nice man he was. The unfairness of it all What would you do? I wrote this book. My name is Martin Flaherty, and I have just completed the first in what I hope to be a series of books entitled, "At Home" with Rock Hudson: Behind the Walls of His Life. Yes, my friend was Rock Hudson; I worked for him for a decade and played with him and I knew him perhaps better than anybody, those last ten years of his life. We had so many outrageously fun times together; Rock had such a great sense of humor, and I have many of the anecdotes he personally related to me from his life and his career. For those not familiar with the life of this star who shaped the way the world saw AIDS, maybe it is time to learn. I also have countless...shall we say...unusual stories from my experiences at his house, the typical days spent with the less than typical characters within Rock Hudson's "Castle". Yes, he called his home the "Castle", and he was a king of a man and I want the world to finally know him as I did, to remember him with love and the respect he deserved from a life spent devoted to his fans.

"The Lynley books constitute the smartest, most gratifyingly complex and impassioned mystery series now being published."--Entertainment Weekly When thirteen-year-old Matthew Whately goes missing from Bredgar Chambers, a prestigious public school in the heart of West Sussex, aristocratic Inspector Thomas Lynley receives a call for help from the lad's housemaster, who also happens to be an old school chum. Thus, the inspector, his partner, Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, and forensic scientist Simon Allcourt-St. James find themselves once again outside their jurisdiction and deeply involved in the search for a child--and then, tragically, for a child killer. Questioning prefects, teachers, and pupils closest to the dead boy, Lynley and Havers sense that something extraordinarily evil is going on behind Bredgar Chambers's cloistered walls. But as they begin to unlock the secrets of this closed society, the investigation into Matthew's death leads them perilously close to their own emotional wounds--and blinds them to the signs of another murder in the making. . . . Praise for Well-Schooled in Murder "George is a master . . . an outstanding practitioner of the modern English mystery."--Chicago Tribune "A spectacular new voice in mystery writing."--Los Angeles Times "A compelling whodunit . . . a reader's delight."--Daily News, New York "Like P.D. James, George knows the import of the smallest human gesture; Well-Schooled in Murder puts the younger author clearly in the running with the genre master."--People "Ms. George may wind up creating one of the most popular and entertaining series in mystery fiction today."--The Sun, Baltimore
The quiet, confident atmosphere of Bredgar Chambers School is shattered by the discovery of the body of one of its pupils in a country churchyard. Who murdered the brilliant boy and why? How did his body get from the school to the distant churchyard? Why had he lied about his exeat destination? Inspector Thomas Lynley and his partner, Barbara Havers, find their investigations hampered by the code of honour and loyalty that prevail in the old and distinguished public school. But they discover within the confines of that privileged community a culture of cruelty that stretches back across the generations.
Horace’s Well-Trained Reader explores the dynamic between Horace’s poetic personae in the first three books of the Odes and the various audiences of those poems. Each chapter studies a selection of poems that are especially dense in programmatic content: the opening series and the closing pair of each book. The personae of these texts show an awareness of both internal and external audiences (for example, addressee and reader respectively). These lyric speakers and their expectations of us develop in a linear fashion over the three books. We are gradually trained to be fully involved audiences and to acknowledge that Horace’s ego is an ethical leader at Rome by virtue of being a lyric poet who looks to both archaic and Hellenistic Greek models.
