Описание: Chris von der Ahe knew next to nothing about baseball when he risked his life`s savings to found the franchise that would become the St. Louis Cardinals. Yet the German-born beer garden proprietor would become one of the most important,and funniest,figures in the game`s history.Von der Ahe picked up the team for one reason,to sell more beer. Then he helped gather a group of ragtag professional clubs together to create a maverick new league that would fight the haughty National League, reinventing big-league baseball to attract Americans of all classes. Sneered at as The Beer and Whiskey Circuit" because it was backed by brewers, distillers, and saloon owners, their American Association brought Americans back to enjoying baseball by offering Sunday games, beer at the ballpark, and a dirt-cheap ticket price of 25 cents.The womanizing, egocentric, wildly generous Von der Ahe and his fellow owners filled their teams` rosters with drunks and renegades, and drew huge crowds of rowdy spectators who screamed at umpires and cheered like mad as the Philadelphia Athletics and St. Louis Browns fought to the bitter end for the 1883 pennant.In The Summer of Beer and Whiskey , Edward Achorn re-creates this wondrous and hilarious world of cunning, competition, and boozing, set amidst a rapidly transforming America. It is a classic American story of people with big dreams, no shortage of chutzpah, and love for a brilliant game that they refused to let die.

Описание: "Linger is an utterly bone-chilling, compulsive read that will grip you by the throat from the very first page. One of the scariest stories I've read in a long, long time. You don't want to miss this captivating new series!" Tess Gerritsen, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Rizzoli & Isles seriesTHEY SEE WHAT NO ONE ELSE SEES Every crime scene has a smell. A look. A trail of DNA. It also has a feel. An emotional residue that lingers... floating unseen, like bacteria in the air, just waiting to be absorbed. To be experienced. To be interpreted. And only the man and boy know this. Veteran major crimes detective Kate Messenger has a problem on her hands: six bodies-father, mother, three children and the family dog-all slaughtered in their own home, with not a single clue or a shred of DNA that points to the butcher who killed them. But late one night, as she's visiting what the newspapers have dubbed the House of Pain, Kate finds a couple of intruders at her crime scene: a man and a young blind boy who have no real explanation for their presence there. In the hours that follow, Kate will discover that this is no ordinary boy-not by a long shot-and his ability to "read" that lingering residue left by the killer and his victims will not only open some old and very tender wounds, but might help Kate find a killer who has been watching her every move...
