The Dead Assassin by Vaughn Entwistle Pdf

1895. Victorian England trembles on the verge of hysteria in Vaughn Entwistle's The Dead Assassin. Terrorist bombs are detonating around the Capitol and every foreigner is suspected of being an Anarchist lurking beneath a cape. Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle is summoned to the scene of a gruesome crime that has baffled and outraged Scotland Yard's best. A senior member of Her Majesty's government has been brutally murdered, and the body of his attacker lies close by—riddled with bullets. More perplexing, one of the attending detectives recognizes the dead assassin as Charlie Higginbotham, a local Cockney pickpocket and petty thief. Higginbotham is not just an improbable suspect, but an impossible suspect, for the young detective watched him take the drop two weeks previously, hanged at Newgate Prison. Conan Doyle calls in his friend Oscar Wilde for assistance and soon the two authors find themselves swept up in an investigation so bizarre it defies conventional wisdom and puts the lives of their loved ones, the Nation, and even the Monarch herself in dire peril. The murders continue, committed by a shadowy cadre of seemingly unstoppable assassins. As the sinister plot unravels, an implausible theory becomes the only possible solution: someone is reanimating the corpses of executed criminals and sending them shambling through the London fog... and programmed for murder.

Assassin's Blood by Malcolm Shuman Pdf

Digging near a mental hospital, Alan Graham and his team come under attack A dying town just a few miles from the Mississippi River, Jackson has a psychiatric hospital, a sprawling forest, and a bloody history. In the summer of 1963, a drifter passed through town in search of work. Not finding any, he returned to New Orleans and then moved on to Dallas, where he assassinated a president. His name was Lee Harvey Oswald, and his ghost is said to haunt the woods of Jackson. Archaeologist Alan Graham has no time for ghost stories, but he can’t deny that there is something evil in this tiny Louisiana town. Digging near the Oswald cabin, he becomes engrossed in the unsolved murder of its original owner, who was killed with the same kind of rifle that killed Kennedy. When a member of Graham’s team is shot during the dig, he must unravel a pair of mysteries—or risk joining Oswald in death.

The Assassin's Curse by Lindsay Buroker Pdf

When outlaws Amaranthe and Sicarius chance upon imperial spies stealing military prototypes, they immediately give chase. Well, immediately after Amaranthe talks Sicarius, former assassin and all-around non-altruistic type, into the mission.

What seems like a straightforward mission develops a hitch when the spies flee to Darkcrest Isle, a forbidding chunk of land reputed to be haunted. Amaranthe isn’t quick to believe in tales of malevolent spirits, so she’s startled when the ever-pragmatic and unflappable Sicarius shows reluctance at setting foot on the island. Only when it may be too late to escape does Amaranthe come to understand why. The Assassin’s Curse is a 12,000-word short story.

The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood Pdf

“Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge.” These words are spoken by Iris Chase Griffen, married at eighteen to a wealthy industrialist but now poor and eighty-two. Iris recalls her far from exemplary life, and the events leading up to her sister’s death, gradually revealing the carefully guarded Chase family secrets. Among these is “The Blind Assassin,” a novel that earned the dead Laura Chase not only notoriety but also a devoted cult following. Sexually explicit for its time, it was a pulp fantasy improvised by two unnamed lovers who meet secretly in rented rooms and seedy cafés. As this novel-within-a-novel twists and turns through love and jealousy, self-sacrifice and betrayal, so does the real narrative, as both move closer to war and catastrophe. Margaret Atwood’s Booker Prize-winning sensation combines elements of gothic drama, romantic suspense, and science fiction fantasy in a spellbinding tale.

The Assassin's Doctor by Robert Summers Pdf

President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. on April 14, 1865. Eight persons, including Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, were arrested for conspiring with John Wilkes Booth. A military court found all eight guilty. Four were executed by hanging for taking part in the actual assassination. The other four were sentenced to prison. Dr. Mudd and two of the others were sentenced to life imprisonment. The fourth man was sentenced to six years imprisonment. One of the men died in prison during a yellow fever epidemic in 1867. The other three, including Dr. Mudd, were pardoned by president Andrew Johnson in 1869. There are two parts to this book. The first part is the story of Dr. Mudd’s life, his early years and education, his marriage to Sarah Frances Dyer, his children, his slaves, his involvement with John Wilkes Booth and the Lincoln assassination, his conviction at trial, his imprisonment at the Fort Jefferson military prison, his life-saving work during a horrific yellow fever epidemic there, and his life after being pardoned. He ran for the Maryland state legislature in 1877, but didn't win. He died at home in 1883, surrounded by his wife and children. The second part of the book is a collection of important historical documents concerning Dr. Mudd's life. Many have never been published before. The collection begins with a letter found in Georgetown University's Special Collections describing how the teenage Sam Mudd was expelled from the school for rowdy behavior. But for this event, Sam Mudd would probably have never switched to medical school, become a doctor, and met John Wilkes Booth. The collection also includes a report found in the National Institutes of Health's Medical Library describing how Dr. Mudd treated his yellow fever patients while in prison. The Assassin's Doctor is the story of a man who lost everything important to him - his home, family, children, reputation, and freedom - only to recover everything by risking his life, and almost losing it, to save the lives of those who imprisoned him. When the yellow fever epidemic was over, all the surviving soldiers at Fort Jefferson signed a petition to president Andrew Johnson asking him to pardon Dr. Mudd for helping save their lives. The Assassin’s Doctor abounds in fascinating stories of the life of Dr. Mudd and those around him. It will make an interesting and valuable addition to your bookshelf.

The Last Assassin by Peter Stothard Pdf

Many men killed Julius Caesar. Only one man was determined to kill the killers. From the spring of 44 BC through one of the most dramatic and influential periods in history, Caesar's adopted son, Octavian, the future Emperor Augustus, exacted vengeance on the assassins of the Ides of March, not only on Brutus and Cassius, immortalized by Shakespeare, but all the others too, each with his own individual story. The last assassin left alive was one of the lesser-known: Cassius Parmensis was a poet and sailor who chose every side in the dying Republic's civil wars except the winning one, a playwright whose work was said to have been stolen and published by the man sent to kill him. Parmensis was in the back row of the plotters, many of them Caesar's friends, who killed for reasons of the highest political principles and lowest personal piques. For fourteen years he was the most successful at evading his hunters but has been barely a historical foot note--until now. The Last Assassin dazzlingly charts an epic turn of history through the eyes of an unheralded man. It is a history of a hunt that an emperor wanted to hide, of torture and terror, politics and poetry, of ideas and their consequences, a gripping story of fear, revenge, and survival.
