Forced Perspective

“These aren’t actors we’re looking for. It’s mug shots not auditions.” McNulty tried not to sound impatient. “It’s local extras. Head and shoulders to see what they look like. If you’re casting cowboys you don’t want to be hiring Indians.” The producer wasn’t appeased. “The reservation’s just over the hill. Indians is what we’re gonna to get. And I don’t want to get scalped.” “Larry. As long as I’ve known you, you’re the one does the scalping.” Palm Springs, California Jim Grant enlists Vince McNulty’s help with a sting operation where wanted criminals are invited to audition as extras in a Titanic Productions movie. The plan is almost derailed when McNulty and Grant can’t resist protecting a hotel receptionist from an angry biker but the plan goes off without a hitch. Almost without a hitch. Mission successful. Except the Palm Springs sting is a dry run for the main person Grant wants to arrest; a crime lord movie buff in Loveland, Colorado. And the angry biker and the worst snow in decades mean that this time there will be blood and death and a very big hitch.

Holly

Located in the far northwest hills of Oakland County, Holly is a vibrant community with a rich cultural heritage rooted in commerce and transportation. In 1864, it became the first Michigan community with a railroad junction, called the Holly and Flint line. The Holly, Wayne and Monroe Railroad was introduced in 1870 and later consolidated with the Holly and Flint line to become the Flint and Pere Marquette. As the railroad brought new growth to the village, Holly quickly developed into more than a mere whistle stop. By the 20th century, homes, schools, churches, and businesses took root and provided the foundation for a community that still thrives today.

A Place That Matters Yet

A Place That Matters Yet unearths the little-known story of Johannesburg’s MuseumAfrica, a South African history museum that embodies one of the most dynamic and fraught stories of colonialism and postcolonialism, its life spanning the eras before, during, and after apartheid. Sara Byala, in examining this story, sheds new light not only on racism and its institutionalization in South Africa but also on the problems facing any museum that is charged with navigating colonial history from a postcolonial perspective. Drawing on thirty years of personal letters and public writings by museum founder John Gubbins, Byala paints a picture of a uniquely progressive colonist, focusing on his philoso...

Permission Granted

Before Jim Grant became The Resurrection Man he was just a Yorkshire cop with a short fuse. Yorkshire, Los Angeles, Boston, Texas, Mexico and much more Helping an old lady get her stolen glasses back and dangling the thief over a cliff is just the start of a tarnished career and these stories fill in some of the gaps between his more widely published adventures. From the “Heavy Petting Chasing Tail Zen Dog Pet Boutique” to a bar at “Boquillas Crossing,” Grant just can’t let injustice go unpunished. But he’s not the only Yorkshireman in America. These stories also introduce Vince McNulty, a Yorkshire ex-cop now working for a tinpot movie company in Boston. It would be a strange coincidence if these two men didn’t know each other. Cops don’t believe in coincidence. Neither should you.
