Beautiful but not-too-bright Bonnie, his faithful wife, now living in Henry Crane's private suite and singing at his club. And completely surrounded by cops. Vince's brother Steve wants to help his brother get straight, but to do that, he will have to convince Bonnie to betray Vince and get him to hand over the stolen loot and name his accomplice. But Bonnie has other plans-she wants the money for herself. She may not be too smart, but she knows how to get what she wants. RUBYEveryone in town knows that Ruby is trouble. She drinks too much, spends the night with too many men, has quite a reputation. So no one is that surprised when she ends up dead on the beach with an ice pick wound in her heart. But Joe Latham is particularly hard hit. He never has been able to get her out of his system. Then detective Keeler comes sniffing around, implying that Latham had something to do with her death. Latham figures he better do some investigating of his own, and soon discovers that Ruby had been friendly with a lot of men: the casino owner, a local gambler, several older businessmen, and even her banker boss. Now the banker is dead, too, a suicide, and $200,000 is missing... and everyone assumes that Latham is the one who knows where it is.
1948 Los Angeles. The House Un-American Activities Committee in Washington, D.C. is investigating members of the Communist party and their activities taking root throughout the United States. Matthew Thornton P.I. is hired by a friend of Humphrey Bogart to recover jewels given to a mobster's mistress and Ernest Hemingway threatened while overseeing the filming of his latest movie. Thornton uncovers a connection to several murdered women and a communist plot to overthrow the Hollywood film industry with funds generated from a counterfeit currency scheme, laundering the money through Chinatown's illegal gambling, dope and prostitution activities. The conspirators: Black Jade, a top level female communist from China and now owner of a waterfront nightclub, Shanghai Ruby's, Carson McCullen, a manufacturing executive with a secret past and unwitting celebrity connections and the Communist "Gang of Eight" the writers, producers and directors at Majestic Movie Studios. Thornton's assisted by a Rhonda Fleming look-a-like moonlighting at the Florentine Gardens burlesque club, an aging actor with a closet full of secrets and a federal vendetta, a gutter-story newspaper reporter, a black jazz musician with a penchant for lost blondes and a homicide police detective, risking his retirement plans. From Los Angeles to Catalina Island, Thornton and his partners descend into the steamy world of sex, violence, kidnapping, car bombings and murder. Frequenting tattoo parlors, brothels, jazz joints, strip clubs, seedy hotels and rundown apartments, blazing waterfront warehouses and back alley slums, they connect the pieces and dispense justice...the hard way.

The Ruby Ridge Siege: The History of the Federal Government's Deadly Standoff with Randy Weaver and His Family

Weaver was a former Green Beret who had come to the attention of the ATF and other federal agencies for a number of reasons, including associations with white supremacist groups and the possession of illegal shotguns. After being arrested and released on bail in 1991, Weaver failed to appear in court when necessary and was thus treated as a fugitive, bringing in the involvement of U.S. Marshals. For the rest of that year, attempts to bring in Weaver were rebuffed, and Weaver threatened to shoot anyone who came to his cabin to bring him in. After a number of reconnaissance efforts and operations to arrest Weaver took place in 1992, federal agents from the U.S. Marshal Service and FBI surrounded the area on August 21 and wound up engaging in a firefight that ended in the deaths of 14 year old Samuel, one of the family dogs, and Marshal Bill Degan, who was shot by Weaver's friend Kevin Harris. In the aftermath of the shooting, Randy and Vicki brought Samuel's body to a shed near their main cabin, and they remained inside with Harris for the rest of the day. On August 22, the federal agents were given new rules of engagement that were much more lax when it came to authorizing the use of deadly force. Instead of using the standard FBI policy that authorized deadly force to prevent suffering grievous harm as a method of self-defense, the agents, including snipers, were given the green light to shoot Randy and Kevin Harris if they were carrying weapons, regardless of whether they were actually targeting the federal agents. They were also authorized to shoot any adult after they surrendered if they were carrying a weapon. Before negotiators could even reach the scene on the 22nd, an FBI sniper shot Randy in the back as he headed towards the shed where his son's body lay. As Randy, his 16 year old daughter Sara, and Harris headed back for cover in the cabin, the same sniper fired a shot at Harris' chest, which wounded him but also struck and killed Vicki, who was standing behind the cabin door holding her 10 month old daughter. Ultimately, it would be several more days before negotiators talked Harris and the Weaver family into surrendering, but the recriminations were just starting. Due to the way the operations were handled, Harris would end up being acquitted of all charges, and Weaver was acquitted of every charge except those involving his refusal to show up in court. Meanwhile, Ruby Ridge severely shook confidence in the way federal law enforcement operated, leading to investigations and reforms. Just as importantly, in addition to influencing how the government approached potential future conflicts with other groups, Ruby Ridge's most important legacy was that it enraged people who already had an anti-government bent. The most notable, of course, was Timothy McVeigh, who conducted what was at the time the deadliest terrorist attack in American history in Oklahoma City in April 1995 and cited Ruby Ridge as a motive. The Ruby Ridge Siege: The History of the Federal Government's Deadly Standoff with Randy Weaver and His Family chronicles the controversial event and the influence it had on subsequent events like Waco and the Oklahoma City bombing.
" ...]and cavernous-their serrated ridges piled on high in a confused jumble of sharp peak and castellated formation-the home of the markhoor and mountain sheep. Here a smooth, unbroken slab of rock, sloping at the well nigh precipitous angle of a high-pitched roof-there, at an easier slant, a great expanse of rock face, seamed and criss-crossed with chasms, like the crevasses on a glacier. No vegetation, either, to relieve the all pervading, depressing greyness, save where a ragged juniper or pistachio had found anchor along a ledge, or fringed the lip of some dark chasm aforesaid. No turn of the road brought any relief to the eye-any lifting of the unconscious oppression which lay upon the mind; ever the same hills, ...]."
Fifteen years of abuse at the hands of her high school sweetheart has left Ruby Flame entirely bored and confused. With the ashes of her former captor-and later victim-scattered at sea, it's time to move on. But it won't be easy: Not with the secrets that plague her. Two weeks of watching the man she both loved and loathed burn in an incinerator messes with a girl's head. She understands that truth. After four years of allowing the dust to settle, Ruby can no longer deny the flicker of curiosity that comes with tempting danger again. She refuses to deny the burning pleasure that once came at the unyielding hands of a sick, sick man. She knows now what she must do to feel alive again: It is in a club where wealthy men go to have one night stands with submissive women where she finally faces it all. In His hands now, Ruby cannot resist Secret Liaisons' Owner Nathan Holloway. The feeling is mutual. Set on the curvy woman with aqua eyes and a claim that she will never allow herself to be broken again, Nate is not one to turn down a challenge. Indeed, sparks will fly. But even in the brightest of fires is a darkness. And Holloway has secrets too. For starters, he's the man who molds younger girls into shady patrons' tools. No one knows about his basement, where he brings the naughty ones with pouty bottom lips and attitudes like Ruby's. It's been six months. But they will again soon. That is, she will. He will throw everything he knows at it and her. He won't lose. He understands this truth: To tame the wildest of fires, you must know it from its very source. You must contain it too. It will start with the cellar, a cage and an unraveling of secrets so shadowy, someone is bound to get burned...
