Touch & Go by Lisa Gardner Pdf

The secrets of a picture perfect family are exposed in this “tour de force”* thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner. Ten minutes after walking the elite Back Bay townhouse and investigator Tessa Leoni already doesn’t like what she sees. Signs of an abduction. Clearly the work of professionals. At best, the entire family has been kidnapped. At worst… The more Tessa learns about the Denbe family, the less she likes their chances. What might have looked like the perfect existence—a powerful CEO, his adoring wife, their angelic child—is not what it appears. Husband, wife, daughter—magazine perfect, but each hiding dark secrets… Tessa knows more than she’d like to about families riddled with lies. What she doesn’t know is where the Denbes are and if any of them are still breathing. She’ll have to climb over unbending feds and territorial local cops to find out, and if she’s not fast, the Denbes’ chances of survival will quickly become little more than touch and go... *Associated Press

Touch and Go by D. H. Lawrence Pdf

"Touch and Go" by D. H. Lawrence is a play in three acts. The story is about the real struggles of labor and capital. Labor not only wants his debt. He wants his pound of flesh. It is a quandary. In our hearts of hearts, we must admit the debt. We must admit that it is long overdue. But this last condition! In vain we study our anatomy to see which part we can best spare.

Touch and Go by Mike Gill Pdf

Dr David Palmer, ICU Consultant at the Royal Oldham Hospital describes Touch and Go, as, “Mike captures in his heart-breaking account a moment in history, told from the patient perspective. Mike honestly, and often with a stoic sense of humour, describes his ordeal, including the hellish experience of delirium, which one wouldn’t wish on their worst enemy.” Mike takes the reader from the beginning of the horror story of Covid, through the rapid decline towards near death and on to the long haul of rehabilitation and recovery. The story is a roller coaster passing through the house of horrors in what is sometimes a bizarre world of delusion and paranoia experienced when emerging from the induced coma that saved Mike’s life. The first two months of that roller coaster ride being almost all downhill with the occasional glimmer of hope as Mike gripped on to life. And then came the words “Mike is Covid free,” and the uphill battle began. Walking, talking, eating and all those things we take for granted had to be learned again as if a child had been born. The learning continues as the disease maintains a hold on the author’s life creating new pain and obstacles to overcome every day. Mike describes the struggle to fight for life and then fight to live making clear reference to those who made that possible. Not only the medical professionals and support staff, but the family and friends who lived their own nightmare as they watched a loved one clinging on to life when his wife, Glen, heard the words down the telephone, “You need to prepare for Michael’s end of life.”

Touch and Go by Thad Nodine Pdf

To escape an addiction, a young blind man in California steps into a station wagon with his friends and their foster kids to deliver a handmade casket to a dying grandfather in Florida. As they battle their way across the southern half of the nation, this rag-tag American family falls prey to love and lies, greed and violence, crime and Katrina. With a voice reminiscent of John Irving, Nodine produces a classic “road-picture” novel that is part Travels with Charley, part As I Lay Dying, and part On The Road. Touch and Go is a rich and rangy story about the careful and careless ways we treat each other—and ourselves—in a fast-paced, changing world. Kevin, the novel’s blind narrator, is one of the most perceptive figures in recent fiction. And his desire to do no harm is contagious. Through Kevin’s rich senses and boundless compassion, Nodine gives us a multicultural portrait of a true America. And he does so with deep affection for everyone along the way.

Touch and Go by Patricia Wentworth Pdf

A governess tries to protect a wealthy teenage orphan targeted by a killer in this mystery by the author of the Miss Silver series. “No one can take a mother’s place.” But Sarah Trent is determined to try. She has just been engaged as governess to seventeen-year-old Lucilla Hildred, whose mother and stepfather were killed in a car accident. Lucilla’s father died in the war, and his younger brother, Maurice, has been missing since 1918. Uncle Maurice’s disappearance isn’t the only mystery at the Red House. One night Sarah is awakened by a frightening noise. Something flings itself against her window and she hears the sounds of claws against glass. Then Holme Fallow, the estate where Lucilla was born—and where no one has lived since the war—is burgled. The only clue as to the culprit is a set of muddy footprints. Next someone tampers with the brakes on Lucilla’s bicycle, and she stumbles over a baluster rail. It’s soon clear to Sarah that someone is trying to kill the orphaned teenager, sole heir to Holme Fallow. Is it visiting American John Brown? Lucilla herself, playing a dangerous game? Or has someone else been patiently waiting for the perfect moment to strike? No matter the perpetrator, a ghost from the past could change everything. Patricia Wentworth, beloved creator of Miss Silver, crafts a puzzling mystery replete with twists, turns, and multiple suspects.
