Nothing stays buried forever, especially not the past. It will always resurface one way or the other… And when it does, it might in fact KILL YOU. A Hollywood icon is murdered in his hotel room at the Four Seasons in New York City. Retiring NYPD detective Judy Hunter and her partner Fred Gibbins investigate the tragic death. The killer has left a note saying that “A Reckoning is Coming.” Two days later, after Judy Hunter’s retirement party, Fred Gibbins is found dead in his apartment, with a rope around his neck. Everybody assumes it's a suicide, except for Judy and his daughter, Charlotte. The two women team up to investigate, and they quickly discover they are dealing with a serial killer whom they are naming the Executioner. What's the true story behind these killings? Is it linked to an enigmatic past? The novel is a crazy tale of revenge, justice, prejudices and high school bullying, but also a story of friendship and love.
The goal of this book is to give a vivid and accurate account of the capture of Constantinople and the destruction of the Greek empire. In order to make the story intelligible and to explain its significance writer has given a summary of the history of the empire between the Latin conquest in 1204 and the capture of the city in 1453, and has traced the progress during the same period of the race which succeeded in destroying the empire and in replacing the Greeks as the possessors of New Rome.
"The Greatest" uses an "absolute adjusting slugging percentage" relative to the era in which each player played to rank the greatest players in history. This eliminates the problem of comparing statistics due to the dead ball era, rule changes such as the mound being raised and the strike zone widened from 1963 to 1968, domed stadiums, and the enhanced vitamin era of the 1990's and 2000's. The book also used "absolute defensive statistics" to determine who the greatest defensive players were at each position. Contrary to public opinion it was discovered that Derek Jeter, for example, was a poor defensive shortstop due to poor statistical range. Finally, the book ranks the greatest pitchers in history by comparing the earned run average relative to the era in which each pitched. Greg Maddux, for example, had two of the top five single seasons of all time using this unique objective method.

Take a deep dive into the TV series that brought us all into the Buffyverse—including an episode guide, a trivia quiz, cast bios, and more! It’s been more than a decade since Buffy Summers first walked into the Sunnydale High library and came face-to-face with her Watcher, who told her she was the Chosen One who would save the world from vampires. In the seven seasons that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was on TV, we watched her kill her true love (but he got better), graduate high school (by blowing it up), discover she had a sister (who . . . uh . . . was always there?), sacrifice her own life (but she got better), watch her sidekicks become heroes (and villains), and, essentially, grow up. ...

Musical accompaniment were jazzed up renditions that basically fit the art form like a glove with a stylish beat that usually pounded out the action as the story unfolded. The music set the mood and the audiences followed. Most of these films would never reach America during the era, even though they were generally aimed at the American film goers. The Actors who went to Italy and got involved in these lucrative new genre spinoffs all enjoyed star status, recognition and glow of the limelight that came with it. These are the Actors were talking about here.
