Make Them Cry
A DEA agent uncovers an international conspiracy when she follows a tip from a Mexican drug lord in this “intelligent, propulsive thriller” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Diane “Hardball” Harbaugh doesn’t flinch easily. A former prosecutor, she’s now a DEA agent known for getting suspects to confess—in tears. But she’s thrown for a loop when a Mexican drug lord offers her explosive information about the international black market. After heading south of the border to meet him, her concepts of justice and duty are shaken to their core. Suddenly, Harbaugh is on the trail of a criminal conspiracy more pervasive than anything she ever suspected. Together with CIA agent Ian Carver, she unravels layers of deception and grift that date back to the Afghanistan War. As they connect the dots, they become the target of cartel assassins, embittered spies, and even their own government. Now the only way out is for Diane to do the one thing she promised herself she’d never do . . .

The Fall
Over the years, The Fall have given me more pleasure than any other band and, when people ask me why I always say, 'they are always different, they are always the same' John Peel. The first ever authorised biography of this most inscrutable of bands! Together music writer Mick Middles and Fall leader Mark E. Smith have written an exhaustive biography of The Fall. Spanning their years on the fringe of the Manchester punk scene, three dozen albums, numerous tours, two successful stage plays and various spoken word events, this book is as strangely compelling as the band itself. Laced with Smith's distinctive brand of working class intellectualism and trenchant broadsides this is a meticulously...
AGONY - The Pang of Death
† Introduction † This story belongs to an era about which we do not know anything, it is an untold aspect, a completely fictional narrative. Do not consider it another form of The Bible, it is a fictional and different form of the great scripture. The story of painful torture of a different, loving couple attempting to revive the negative character of The Bible - "Judas Iscariot" (the demonic spirit) and to reveal the miraculous powers of God the Son - "Jesus Christ". Judas Iscariot reveals his own being by his own powers and Jesus Christ by his miraculous powers from small and big events. This story is completely fictional. It has no relation to any living or dead person, religion, sect...
Renegade
The only way to appreciate the legendary musician Mark E. Smith is to encounter the man in his own words. 'May be the funniest music book ever written' Observer The Fall are one of the most distinctive British bands, their music - odd,spare, cranky and repetitious - an acknowledged influence on The Smiths, The Happy Mondays, Nirvana and Franz Ferdinand. And Mark E. Smith IS The Fall. 47 members have come and gone over the years yet he remains its charismatic leader, a professional outsider and all-round enemy of compromise, a true enigma. There have been a number of biographies of the legendary Smith, but this is the first time he has opened up in a full autobiography. For the first time we get to hear his full, candid take on the ups and downs of a band as notorious for its in-house fighting as for its great music; and on a life that has endured prison in America, drugs, bankruptcy, divorce, and the often bleak results of a legendary thirst.
