Compelling Crime Drama You Can't Put Down,"Night of the Black Bastards is a winner. Rough, real, challenging...and ultimately redemptive, this novel gives an unflinching look inside the rancid, raunchy, frightening underworld of South African organized crime as fought by the SAPS. I love that Christie doesn't shy away from any of the brutality of the city and surrounding area, or of the complex race situation, or corruption and confusion of the characters, and I couldn't put this down.Holding it all together are the true blue characters, and Sergeant Mike Night is made real in every way. And we need heroes, because the villain is truly horrific--ruling with voodoo, fear and truly inhumane depravity. I'm serious, add to this the gangland activity and this book gives you the real deal like you haven't experienced before.The writing is excellent, with language that is visceral and cutting and authentic to both the vernacular of SA and the vocabularies of law enforcement. The plotting is rapid-fire, cinematic and harrowing.If you are drawn to action and tension and want real procedural-driven crime storytelling that pushes the envelope, Night of the Black Bastards delivers."

From the Editor: Night in London is a feast of non-stop action. It moves with the velocity of a breaking wave. And it gains a special impact from the fact that it rings of authenticity. When Casey Christie describes the viciousness and extreme brutality of a criminal gang, he is writing from raw experience. Christie was at the cutting edge of the police drive against criminals in Johannesburg. And we meet again with the colourful crew he assembled in his first novel set in South Africa-the fearsome Black Bastards, so called because they have special police dispensation to wear all-black uniforms. Among them is the heroic Zulu who always carries a tribal assegai as well as his automatic weapon. But this time there is a new villain for Night to contend with---a fiendish schemer, an Englishman based in London, where Captain Night confronts his foe and also meets a mysterious female agent. The author has spiced his bursts of action with non-stop surprises and twists of plot. You'll never want to put it down

The BRAND NEW page-turning, historical cozy mystery series from Kelly Oliver ??????? Mesopotamia, 1930: When Agatha Christie invites fellow members of the Detection Club to witness the famous excavations at the ruins of Ur, Dorothy L. Sayers, her quick-witted assistant Eliza Baker, and Theo Sharp expect ancient wonders – not fresh corpses. But when an archaeologist is found dead in the sand, whispers of a deadly curse sweep through the camp. Eliza suspects something far more dangerous than superstition. Amid glittering artifacts and fragile alliances, every guest harbors secrets: the Woolleys, whose marriage is shadowed by tragedy; a journalist hungry for scandal; even academic Max Mallowan, whose loyalties are not what they seem. As theft, forgery, and coded messages surface, the line between archaeology and espionage blurs. And when Eliza and Theo find themselves in danger, they must face not only the truth about the murder – but also the truths they’ve long denied about each other. Can they uncover the killer before the desert claims another victim? Or will this dig unearth secrets too dangerous to survive? Praise for Kelly Oliver: 'Sharp, witty and full of surprises!'

The Jersey Sting: Chris Christie and the Most Brazen Case of Jersey-Style Corruption---Ever

The Jersey Sting: Chris Christie and the Most Brazen Case of Jersey-Style Corruption---Ever

Ted Sherman; Josh Margolin

St. Martin's Griffin
2012
nidottu
In the summer of 2009 the blog Gawker stated "Everybody in New Jersey Was Arrested Yesterday." Now for the first time, The Jersey Sting is the real story behind the biggest corruption bust in New Jersey's notoriously corrupt history. Among the forty-four people arrested in July 2009 were three mayors, five Orthodox rabbis, two state legislators, and the flamboyant deputy mayor of Jersey City, Leona Beldini, once a stripper using the stage name "Hope Diamond." At the center of it all was a dubious character named Solomon Dwek, who perpetrated a $50 million Ponzi scheme before copping a plea and wearing a wire as a secret FBI undercover informant, setting up friends, partners, rabbis, and dozens of politicians. Mr. Dwek played his role like an extra in a mob movie. On surveillance tape, he repeatedly referred to his fraudulent "schnookie deals," which is Yiddish for, well, schnook. Full of impossible-to-make-up detail and fresh revelations from the continuing trials and investigations, this book--the inside, untold account of a federal sting operation that moves from the streets of Brooklyn to the diners of Jersey City, and all the way to Israel--is a wonderful tour de force of investigative journalism by the reporting team that broke this amazing story.
