books about: killer     books:       Killer View13 reviews Ridley Pearson Putnam Adult, 2008 Atmospheric wilderness thriller Buried in an early snowstorm, the Sun Valley, Idaho, mountains play a major role in Ridley's second Sheriff Walt Fleming thriller. The story begins with a nighttime mountain search-and-rescue, and goes on to include snowbound cabin hideouts, isolated ranchers, buzzing snowmobiles, chases through the snow and among the peaks, and even a crucial and spectacular encounter with a hibernating bear. ...             Indian Killer90 reviews Sherman Alexie Grove Press, 2008 Well worth a second look After reading other reviewers, I am amused and not a bit surprised. Sherman Alexie can't get a break - sure he is successful by many standards, but the critiques I read were watery. Useless, in fact. This book was a departure from Alexie's shorter stories - any why not? His short stories were a departure from his poems. His films have been departures in a sense, both from his texts, and also one ...             Killer Elite: The Inside Story of America's Most Secret Special Operations Team31 reviews Michael Smith St. Martin's Griffin, 2008 A piercing, illuminating, and recent military history of the shadows and glimmers only touched on by Hollywood I can pretty well guarantee you that Tom Clancy has already read this book - it assures us that the people who need to die have been doing just that in the US/British war against terror worldwide. (I've personally thought about this theme of Clancy's re: playing God but it's a non-issue for me in the present context). The rules have changed for the military - mercilessly exposed are also the ...             Love Is the Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends128 reviews Tim Sanders Three Rivers Press, 2003 TRUE inspiration...changed my life This was a great audio book to listen to on the way to work. I happened upon it by chance at the local library. But I would recommend it to anyone who works in an office setting, particularly a larger setting and wants to get noticed and be that go-to-guy. Tim is very easy to listen to, and has a great inspirational tone. He talks about how to become a "Love cat". Which may sound weird at first, ...             The Killer Angels512 reviews Michael Shaara Ballantine Books, 2001 Still the best, after all Michael Shaara isn't a well-known figure in American literature. He spent most of his writing career producing short stories, mostly science fiction. He only wrote three novels while he was alive, the current book, a boxing novel titled "The Broken Place" and a futuristic doomsday thriller titled "The Herald". The boxing novel was critically successful but didn't sell well, and "The Herald" was ...             The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers7 reviews Michael Newton Checkmark Books, 2006 Very Interesting Book!!! A friend of mine gave me this book, and normally I don't read. However, on a road trip, I decided to read some of the book and became very interested, QUICKLY! The book is quite detailed, and I liked the fact that there was information in the book on serial killers from the 1800's and earlier (Erzsebet Bathory born in 1560). A great, well-written book!             Serial Killers: The Method and Madness of Monsters13 reviews Peter Vronsky Berkley Trade, 2004 History, present, and future of serial killers A lot of reviews focused on the history covered by this book, but what I found most compelling was in fact the second half, which discussed the "formation" of a serial killer. In the first half, the author goes back a few centuries to uncover gruesome truths of serial killers across Europe. With every chapter, he steps forward in time, narrating the lives and biographies of famous and ...             Jack/giant-killer46 reviews Charles De Lint Ace, 1990 JACK THE GIANT KILLER THIS MOVIE IS AS GOOD AS IT WAS WHEN I FIRST SAW IT IN 1964 OR 1965. MY BROTHER AND I WENT BACK AND SAW IT AGAIN. WE EVEN SAT THROUGH THE "B" MOVIE TO SEE IT TWICE IN ONE DAY.. I NOW HAVE HAD AN OPPURTUNITY TO WATCH IT WITH MY GRANDSON, WHO ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT. THE SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE JUST A SMIDGE OUT OF DATE,BUT GOOD.             The Serial Killer Files: The Who, What, Where, How, and Why of the World's Most Terrifying Murderers25 reviews Harold Schechter Ballantine Books, 2003 A Must for Your Personal Library Whether used as a reference work to look up specific serial killers or types of serial killer, this book holds its own very, very well. It is a must for any personal library, and not only for those with somewhat morbid interests: this book hold interesting information for those with minds bent towards history, law enforcement, psychology, and a myriad other topics of study. The book's tone is ...             Killer Charms3 reviews Marianne Stillings Avon, 2008 4.5 Bookmarks from Wild on Books! Logan Sinclair is a world renowned medium. Having written several books on the subject as well as performed numerous séances, he is in high demand. The demand for family members to talk to loved ones beyond the grave has made Logan a very rich man, not withstanding the fact that underneath his rugged Scottish exterior beats the heart of one of the most successful con men ever born. Or is he? ...             Killers (Kurt Wallender Mystery)44 reviews Henning Mankell House UK, 2008 Its Hard To Put Down It's hard to solve the mystery. But, it's even harder to put the book down... Imagine waking up during the middle of the night. You're awakened by a bad dream that tells you something is terribly wrong, awfully strange. You check your house and everything appears to be normal. You notice something peculiar about your neighbor's house- the same neighbor who is your best friend you share tea ...             Killer Secrets (Tempting SEALs)25 reviews Lora Leigh St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2008 More SEALs! Yummy This book was by far the hardest to read for me. The plot was intense, and it was hard to keep up with all of the characters, since there were so many. But Ian and Kira were great, and their chemistry was off the charts! Defintely a series worth reading!             Female Serial Killers: How and Why Women Become Monsters6 reviews Peter Vronsky Berkley Trade, 2007 Excellent book--highly recommend it! Radical feminists who insist that only men commit serial murder will be angered by this book, which lists the names of 140 predatory female serial killers and offers case studies of varying detail for some 40 of them. Vronsky is highly critical of radical feminism, which argues that when women kill they do so only to defend themselves against male aggression. He very persuasively argues that ...             Crow Killer: The Saga of Liver-Eating Johnson (Midland Book)30 reviews Raymond W. Thorp, Robert Bunker Indiana University Press, 1983 Crow Killer I have read many books and biographies about trapper and traders and this one although a fictional biography (hearsay and letters to the author) was fantastic; many true items; I'm sure. John Johnson - the main character; inspired the movie Jeremiah Johnson, that Robert Redford stared in. Quite the read!             The Killer Inside Me64 reviews Jim Thompson Vintage, 1991 Guaranteed to make you squirm. Central City in West Texas is the place where this unusual first person narrative unfolds. Lou Ford, one of Jim Thompson's most recognizable characters, is a deputy sheriff and to all who know him he's a dull-witted, amiable guy, ill suited for a career in law enforcement because he's just too gentle. Ford himself uses the term "rube" to describe his own station in life. Of course that is the ...             The Christopher Killer (Forensic Mystery) Alane Ferguson Puffin, 2008 As the daughter of a Colorado County coroner, seventeen-yearold Cameryn Mahoney is no stranger to death. In fact, she?s always been fascinated by the science of it. So she?s thrilled to finally get some hands-on experience in forensics working as her father?s assistant. But Cammie is in for more than she bargained for when the second case that she attends turns out to be someone she knows?the latest victim of a serial killer known as the ...             The I-5 Killer: Revised Edition (Signet True Crime)35 reviews Ann Rule Signet, 1984 Every Young Woman's Nightmare The title of my review is kind of taken from the back of the book which I think is understandable. Again, Ms Rule has written with knowledge & with an edge that keeps one hooked from page to page. This book was the most terrifying I've read so far just because the killer, Randall Woodfield, spent a great amount of time in the area where I grew up (SW Portland) and at the same time when I was 16 ...             When Victims Become Killers: Colonialism, Nativism, and the Genocide in Rwanda8 reviews Mahmood Mamdani Princeton University Press, 2002 Reform the state and citizenship Mahmood Mamdani is Professor of Government and Director of the Institute of African Studies at Columbia University. His reputation as an expert in African history, politics and international relations has made him an important voice in contemporary debates about the changing role of Africa in a global context. Mamdani proposes that Burundi and Rwanda need to reform the state and citizenship ...             Killer Web Content: Make the Sale, Deliver the Service, Build the Brand25 reviews Gerry McGovern A&C Black, 2007 Oh, so simple. Oh, so complicated. Oh, so absolutely worthwhile.... Gerry McGovern's "Killer Web Content" *seems* to be a primer about writing "killer content." And it is. He talks about simple ideas (e.g., "killer, not filler," or, on the Net, "in self-service mode, people go on gut instinct") in simple sentences, with lots of words in red so you get the idea. Then you put those ideas all together and think about them. And *then* you start looking at ...             Revenge of Killer Sudoku4 reviews djape Lulu.com, 2007 Djape keeps up the good work If you enjoyed Djape's "Killer Sudoku" you will also love this book. I've tried a couple of puzzles at each level and managed (very slowly in some cases) to complete them all except for level 5 zero killer sudoku. In the zero puzzles there are only a few cages and a lot of empty space - REALLY hard, and great fun. In general I think the puzzles (except for the zero puzzles) are slightly ...              search for books america, business, christopher, colonialism, content, deliver, edition, encyclopedia, forensic, friends, genocide, giant-killer, influence, johnson, liver-eating, madness, midland, monsters, murderers, mystery, nativism, operations, revenge, revised, secrets, service, special, tempting, terrifying, wallender books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
