Best Critical \/ Biographical <\/font>
\n\"Arthur
\nJon Lellenberg, Daniel Stashower<\/a>, Charles Foley: Arthur Conan Doyle: A Life in Letters<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Verlagstext:<\/em><\/p>\n

This remarkable annotated collection of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s previously unpublished private correspondence offers unique insight into one of the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s most popular authors. For the first time, Conan Doyle emerges from the shadow of Sherlock Holmes, revealing a man whose character and exploits rival that of his famous creation. In particular, Conan Doyle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s correspondence with his mother exposes his endless search for fulfillment and success outside the Holmes stories.<\/p>\n

At age sixteen Conan Doyle began studying medicine at Edinburgh University. Just months shy of graduating, he made the adventurous decision to accept a position as a surgeon on a whaling ship heading to the Arctic. He returned to Edinburgh, graduated, and struggled to establish his own medical practice while simultaneously writing and promoting his stories. He suffered years of disappointment as both doctor and author; yet, to his amazement, just two months after the first Sherlock Holmes short stories, he had garnered such a following that he completely abandoned medicine for literature.<\/p>\n

As the public clamored endlessly for Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle explored other pursuits: He was a doctor during the Boer War, a World War I correspondent, and the foremost spokesman for Spiritualism. As his life changed, Doyle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s correspondence with his mother remained constant. In his letters to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the Mam,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Doyle shares the dismay he felt over the critical reception of his other writing, and as his irritation with the Holmes adventures mounts he announces his desire to kill off the character. She is his confidante and trusted counsel throughout her long life.<\/p>\n

The editors are known for their expertise and scholarship on the works of Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes. Daniel Stashower is an award-winning mystery novelist and author of Teller of Tales, a widely praised biography of Conan Doyle. Jon Lellenberg is the U.S. agent for the Conan Doyle estate and author of The Quest for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Charles Foley is the writer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s great-nephew and executor of the estate. <\/p>\n

\"Reclaiming
\nVincent Bugliosi:<\/a> Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Verlagstext:<\/em><\/p>\n

Polls reveal that over 75 percent of Americans believe there was a conspiracy behind Lee Harvey Oswald; some even believe Oswald was entirely innocent. In this absorbing and historic book\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthe first ever to cover the entire case\u00e2\u20ac\u201dVincent Bugliosi shows how we have come to believe such lies about an event that changed the course of history.<\/p>\n

The brilliant prosecutor of Charles Manson and the man who forged an iron-clad case of circumstantial guilt around O. J. Simpson in his best-selling Outrage, Bugliosi is perhaps the only man in America capable of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153prosecuting\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Oswald for the murder of President Kennedy. His book is a narrative compendium of fact, forensic evidence, reexamination of key witnesses, and common sense. Every detail and nuance is accounted for, every conspiracy theory revealed as a fraud upon the American public. Bugliosi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s irresistible logic, command of the evidence, and ability to draw startling inferences shed fresh light on this American nightmare. At last we know what really happened. At last it all makes sense. 32 pages of illustrations.<\/p>\n

Verlagstext:<\/em><\/p>\n

The dead body found in the Chemanga River has nothing to do with Todd. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been busy making beds at the family motel and writing alien stories to entertain his friends. Sure, a murder is big news, but what would really interest him? A paying job and a story line free of UFOs and poop jokes. And then he meets Rat.<\/p>\n

Just a little older than Todd, Rat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s already been to Vietnam and back. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s got a tattoo and a messed-up family life. And when he offers Todd a gig at the drive-in theater, Todd takes it. After all, it pays actual money. But hanging out with Rat leads to a host of strange experiences and perplexing questions. More and more, that corpse from the river is on Todd\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mind, and no matter how he shifts the pieces around, Rat is always part of the puzzle.<\/p>\n
