by Alex ArcherA wrecked German bomber...key to the secrets of the Third Reich? All it took was one phone call and TV show host and archaeologist Annja Creed is in mortal danger. Her producer Doug Morrell has been abducted by a greedy treasure hunter who's seeking the lost raubgold, or looted gold of Nazi Germany. The terms are simple: retrieve the bounty and Doug lives. Fail, and he dies... Now Annja and her friends must find a missing German fighter plane that was shot down over the Alps in 1945.

Letters that point to a more startling treasure buried underwater halfway around the world. But Annja isn't interested in treasure, or even unearthing historic relics. Annja has one agenda: get Doug out alive...even if it means drawing her sword from its otherworldly sheath. Even if it means death. Because once greed drives a man to violence, nothing will stop him...

There was always something not quite right about that town.<P> Today, on the anniversary of its watery fate, the man-made lake that was once Gouldens Falls is the source of fascination for a visiting journalist.

Beneath the Abbey Wall
by A. D. ScottAS A DECADE OF CHANGE COMES TO A CLOSE, MURDER HITS CLOSE TO HOME IN A SMALL SCOTTISH TOWN. . . . On a dark, damp Sunday evening, a man taking a shortcut home sees a hand reaching out in supplication from a bundle of sacks. In an instant he knows something terrifying has happened. In the Highlands in the late 1950s, much of the local newspaper's success was due to Mrs. Smart, the no-nonsense office manager who kept everything and everyone in line. Her murder leaves her colleagues in shock and the Highland Gazette office in chaos. Joanne Ross, a budding reporter and shamefully separated mother, assumes Mrs. Smart's duties, but an intriguing stranger provides a distraction not only from the job and the investigation but from everything Joanne believes in. Beneath the Abbey Wall brilliantly evokes a place still torn between the safety of the past and the uncertainty of the future, when rock 'n' roll and television invaded homes, and a change in attitudes still came slowly for many. As the staff of the Highland Gazette probes the crime, they uncover secrets deeply rooted in the past, and their friend's murder becomes the perfect fodder for strife and division in the town and between her colleagues.
Beneath the American Renaissance: The Subversive Imagination in the Age of Emerson and Melville
by David S. ReynoldsEmerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, Dickinson. In this ground-breaking work, the seven great writers of the American Renaissance are studied together in their literary and social contexts--with a particular view to showing how they assimilated and transformed into literary art the themes and images of popular culture. Their classic works--among them Moby-Dick, The Scarlet Letter, Leaves of Grass, Walden, the tales of Poe--are given strikingly original readings in the rich, often startling, context of long-neglected popular writings of the time. Reynolds especially brings to our attention a whole lost world of sensational literature: pamphlet novels that purveyed hair-raising adventure, reverend rakes, and mythic sea-monsters; gory crime books derived from real-life case histories; reform writings that dwelled on the grisly and perverse results of vice; novels, openly sold on the street, that combined intense violence with explicit eroticism. He shows how this wildly energized popular literature reflected the fantasies and aggressions of Americans in a period of rapid social change--and how it echoes throughout major American works: in the ambiguities of Melville and Hawthorne, in Poe's portrayal of psychopathic killers, in Whitman's open expression of sexuality. Reynolds finds strong traces of such popular types as the fallen woman, the sensual woman, and the feminist criminal recombined in the multifaceted heroines of Hawthorne. He shows how the experimental style and explosive imagery of the sophisticated women's rights novels of the 1850s and the feminist "literature of misery" of the 1850s and 1860s set the stage for Emily Dickinson's work--he sees in her poems closer ties to the popular culture than have previously been revealed. He demonstrates as well how common concerns with issues of religion, slavery, and workers' (as well as women's) rights resonate in the major writings. Throughout, Reynolds uses what he calls "reconstructive criticism" to reveal the social roots of literary texts and to make clear the ways in which cultural images that were crude and formless in their original state were reconstructed and put to the uses of art by the American masters. The result is a landmark study of the richest period in American literary history and a notable contribution to the theory and practice of literary criticism.

Beneath the Backbone of the World: Blackfoot People and the North American Borderlands, 1720–1877 (The David J. Weber Series in the New Borderlands History)
by Ryan HallFor the better part of two centuries, between 1720 and 1877, the Blackfoot (Niitsitapi) people controlled a vast region of what is now the U.S. and Canadian Great Plains. As one of the most expansive and powerful Indigenous groups on the continent, they dominated the northern imperial borderlands of North America. The Blackfoot maintained their control even as their homeland became the site of intense competition between white fur traders, frequent warfare between Indigenous nations, and profound ecological transformation. In an era of violent and wrenching change, Blackfoot people relied on their mastery of their homelands' unique geography to maintain their way of life. With extensive archival research from both the United States and Canada, Ryan Hall shows for the first time how the Blackfoot used their borderlands position to create one of North America's most vibrant and lasting Indigenous homelands. This book sheds light on a phase of Native and settler relations that is often elided in conventional interpretations of Western history, and demonstrates how the Blackfoot exercised significant power, resiliency, and persistence in the face of colonial change.

Not long after that, four people were viciously murdered without apparent motive by Carl "the Cutter" Coulter. Carl cut their throats and then carved a bizarre symbol-a triangle bisected by a bolt of lightning-into their abdomens.

But the killings begin again: throats slashed, Carl's signature symbol carved into the victims' stomachs. Joanne, with the help of reporter Dale Ramsey, must discover who's copying Carl's crimes and why. To make matters worse, the murders have drawn the attention of the sinister Cross family, who've ruled the county that bears their name for the last two centuries.
