Gritty. Gripping. Unforgettable.
Just before Danny Cadogan's fourteenth birthday, his father
leaves. Having drunkenly run up a gambling debt he cannot pay, Big Dan
Cadogan takes the easy way out.
He leaves behind his wife and children to face the wrath of the men sent
to collect the debt. Determined to protect his mother, brother and

man set on making his way in a violent and dangerous world. He becomes a

all he can get. At any cost. But Danny's ruthlessness on the streets of
London doesn't stop at his front door. He rules his wife, Mary, and his
children, with an iron will - and his fists. But if Mary breaks her
silence, it could shake Danny's criminal empire; right to the very core.
And for a Face at the top of his game, there's only one way to go.
Down. Because, after all, debts can be paid without money.Set in the
heart of London's criminal gangland, from the seventies right up to the
present day, FACES is gritty, gripping and utterly unforgettable. Views: 106

Chenia Arnow is a Russian-Jewish immigrant in 1950s New York, a sharp-witted, Betty Grable look-alike whose accent and Old-World superstitions mask untapped passions and intellectual curiosity. Her husband Ruben is a handsome philanderer who has a knack for creating phony lawsuits. Their precocious daughter Devorah, tells–and often imagines–the richly involving story of their lives.

An Englishman named James Smithson, who had never set foot in the U.S., had left all his fortune to found in Washington "an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men." He left no further instructions, and the questions surrounding the extraordinary bequest sparked a rancorous decade-long debate in Congress. Since its founding in 1846, the Smithsonian Institution has grown into the largest museum and research complex in the world. Known as "the Nation's Attic," it is the keeper of many of America's most treasured cultural icons-the Star-Spangled Banner, the Spirit of St. Louis, Lincoln's top hat, and Dorothy's ruby slippers. At its heart, however, has always been the mystery of its enigmatic benefactor. Drawing on unpublished letters and diaries from archives across Europe and the United States-including the entirety of the Smithsonian's... Views: 105
