Or trusted.<\/p>\n<p>Quadruplet brothers. Raised in rural seclusion by their identical, namesake father. Now in their twenties, the Jake Barnes brothers are shocked by their father&#8217;s sudden suicide during one boy&#8217;s visit. More surprises come in the video he leaves behind, announcing that one of them is an unrelated outsider, and daring his sons to uncover the truth of their birth. From across the U.S. the brothers converge to find a woman who may be their mother, but twisted lust, murderous secrets, and shifting identities threaten their lives along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Set in a dream-soaked reality one step removed from our own, <em>One of These Things Is Not Like the Other<\/em> is a darkly comic tale of masculine identity and relationships. What is the true nature of a man, father, brother, son, lover? Some men die searching for such truth. Some men kill to keep it hidden. Some come to wish they had never learned it. But as the four identical brothers seek out answers to who they are and where they come from, they find the truth to be as elusive as fog on the Oregon coast or as treacherous as sand in a Texas dust storm.<\/p>\n<p>Suicide, homicide, fratricide, incest\u00e2\u20ac\u201dit&#8217;s a love story. And a page turner. With very dark humor. Hell, it&#8217;s better than Cirque de Soleil. David Lynch meets Neil Bartlett?

Instead, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a celluloid Titanic that makes Patty Duke\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s turn in Valley of the Dolls look like Swedish art house restraint. While nursing his wounds at the post-premiere party at a Starbucks on Beverly Boulevard, Jarrod runs into Wallace Goodwin, one of the former writers on Go to Your Room, the beloved eighties show that made Jarrod a star. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shocked to discover that the neurotic, egotistical Wallace, whose biggest claim to fame was penning a very special episode of a Marla Gibbs sitcom and marrying leggy sexpot Katrina, has penned a play bound for London\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s West End, with a scene-stealing part for Jarrod. Like they say, when God closes a door, somewhere, he opens a window seat in coach.<\/p>\n<p>Faster than he can say his catchphrase, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Baby, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even go there!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jarrod\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hitting the boards in London\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6and the boards are hitting back, big time. As much as the actors all seem to loathe one another, they truly resent Jarrod. The hotshot young director with a thing for girls named Kate berates him at every turn. British legend Dame Sylvia Horner is so sloshed she can barely read her lines. Bollywood beefcake Akshay Kapoor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s one facial expression seems to be handsome glowering\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwhen he isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t making eyes at Jarrod\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hunky LAPD boyfriend, Charlie. And since coming out has made him hot again, Sir Anthony Stiles wastes no time \u00e2\u20ac\u0153tutoring\u00e2\u20ac\u009d every young actor in a twelve-mile radius. Jarrod\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only friend in the cast is the formidable Claire Richards. The sexy, forty-something, champagne-swilling, Oscar-winning actress is the undisputed star of the show\u00e2\u20ac\u201da lady who can chew scenery and her costars with equal abandon. No one can play a death scene like La Claire. Except that this time, the diva isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t faking it. She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been poisoned, and the last person to see her alive was Jarrod himself. Suddenly, Jarrod\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gone from begging for a small role as a lab assistant on Crossing Jordan to being accused of murdering a shining star of the West End theatre scene and stealing her Oscar from her dressing room.<\/p>\n<p>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the juiciest scandal to hit London since Prince Harry got caught smoking pot, and Jarrod has no intention of clicking his heels three times while repeating, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no such thing as bad publicity.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to find out who murdered Claire, clear his own name, and head back to the insanity he knows and trusts in Los Angeles. What becomes clear is that there was more backstage drama going on than anything happening on stage\u00e2\u20ac\u201daffairs, lies, secrets, betrayals, blackmail, and a desperate clawing for fame and fortune that makes anything on reality TV look like a kids\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 show. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Buch bestellen bei:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0758209606\/ludgerslesezeich\/\">\u00bb amazon.de<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/partners.webmasterplan.com\/click.asp?ref=72132&#038;site=2701&#038;type=text&#038;tnb=8&#038;pid=0758209606\">\u00bb libri.de<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/partners.webmasterplan.com\/click.asp?ref=72132&#038;site=2176&#038;type=text&#038;tnb=3&#038;pid=0758209606\">\u00bb buch24.de<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.krimiblog.de\/images\/the_paper_mirror.jpg\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"the_paper_mirror.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.doriengrey.net\/\">Dorien Grey:<\/a> The Paper Mirror (Verlag: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.glbpubs.com\/\">GLB Publishers<\/a>)<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Verlagstext\/Kurzbesprechung:<\/em><br \/>\n<em>The Paper Mirror<\/em> by Dorien Grey is the tenth in the gay mystery series.

And they had one significant experience in common: Both had been \u00e2\u20ac\u0153in country\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in Vietnam during the war. Their \u00e2\u20ac\u0153labels\u00e2\u20ac\u009d were different&#8212;Thinnes had been in the military police, Caleb a medic, a conscientious objector who chose to fight with his medical equipment and his ability as a doctor as his weapons, whether his patients were wounded on the field of battle or on the crowded, dangerous streets of Saigon. Arriving home, both men would have liked to forget the horrors of that war but could not banish them from their memory. They had left Vietnam, but Vietnam would never leave them.<\/p>\n<p>In the years since the war ended, Thinnes married and fathered a son, Caleb prospered with his psychiatric practice and found a gay lover. Later, a series of murders and rapes brought the police officer and the psychiatrist together in an oddly matched friendship, each contributing his special knowledge to try to solve crimes that were hard to unravel.<\/p>\n<p>But memories remain&#8212;ugly memories of maiming and killing on both sides, not only of soldiers but of innocent Vietnamese farmers and their families, of drug dealers and the city\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s poor.

He had been assigned to the murder case, but when his lieutenant learns that Thinnes had known the dead woman in Saigon, had even attended her marriage to his now-dead buddy, he takes him off the case, leaving Thinnes\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s partner to use her outstanding talents as a detective under the officer who takes John Thinnes\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s place.<\/p>\n<p>This, however, does not stop Thinnes from doggedly continuing the search for the woman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s killer. Word on the street in Little Saigon is that the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153White Tiger\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is now in Chicago. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153White Tiger\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is the only known name for a mysterious and savage drug dealer and all-around criminal who terrorized even the toughest thugs in Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>Both men dig, together and each in his own way, for the reason this innocent woman was murdered, both thoroughly aware that by searching in the deep, they are offering their own lives to the Tiger\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wrath.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Allen Dymmoch has faultlessly linked the horrors of the war in Vietnam, from the viewpoints of those on both sides of the conflict and also from the hearts and minds of two very different men, and has woven them into a thrilling story of terror in the past and in the very present Now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buch bestellen bei:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0312323026\/ludgerslesezeich\/\">\u00bb amazon.de<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/partners.webmasterplan.com\/click.asp?ref=72132&#038;site=2701&#038;type=text&#038;tnb=8&#038;pid=0312323026\">\u00bb libri.de<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/partners.webmasterplan.com\/click.asp?ref=72132&#038;site=2176&#038;type=text&#038;tnb=3&#038;pid=0312323026\">\u00bb buch24.de<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.krimiblog.de\/images\/cajun_snuff.jpg\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"cajun_snuff.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>W.
