Her overprotective father, Picnic, is the club’s president. The last time she had a boyfriend, Picnic shot him.

Book Description
The first book-length study of one of the Civil War's most outlandish and mysterious characters Devil's Game traces the amazing career of Charles A. Dunham, Civil War spy, forger, journalist, and master of dirty tricks. Writing for a variety of New York papers under alternate names, Dunham routinely faked stories, created new identities, and later boldly cast himself to play those roles. He achieved his greatest infamy when he was called to testify in Washington concerning Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Many parts of Dunham's career remain shadowy, but Cumming offers the first detailed tour of Dunham's convoluted, high-stakes, international deceits, including his effort to sell Lincoln on plans for a raid to capture Jefferson Davis. Exhaustively researched and unprecedented in depth, this carefully crafted assessment of Dunham's motives, personality, and the complex effects of his schemes changes assumptions about covert operations during the Civil War.

On an isolated island, seven people with a desperate need for money play a game conceived by an intelligence of perfect evil.

One is a mercenary soldier with a taste for proving his manhood through self-torture. Another is a porno-starlet. A third is a perfectly ordinary mother whose seven-year-old's life depends on a million-dollar medical treatment. Each of the seven thinks he or she will do anything; all but one of them are wrong.

Book Description
Brainwashing: Devil's Game: this novel is from the author's knowledge of life and death, truth and lies, good and evil, rich and poor, health and sickness, user and abuser, give and take, worshipping right or wrong, religions, cult's government, organizations, people misleading people. The devil is a force that man does not understand and has no idea how he works; he is a magician, a puppeteer, and most of all, a deceiver to man and God, the foe of Christ, battling God/Jesus for His kingdom. This book uncovers the lies of man to man by Satan, from many visions, from the vision of prophets given to man from the word of God in Jesus, and visions from Giovanni's dreams. For some people, this book is fiction, no truth; the message is scribed from biblical events, for those who believe in the Christ, the people of God will be celebrating, for the other is a nightmare with and terrorizing end for mankind. The search and study have been tiring and a fight with the devil day and night with results of exhaustion by rereading the Bible, reading and extracting information from the Torah and the Quran. For all people, read and study the Bible to understand this novel, for the will of man is service for Satan. Man needs to be alert and strong in the faith... "I am coming soon." Crist claimed this truth to mankind...

Book Description
Hailed as "the best business book of 2010" (Huffington Post), this New York Times bestseller about the 2008 financial crisis brings the devastation of the Great Recession to life. As soon as the financial crisis erupted, the finger-pointing began. Should the blame fall on Wall Street, Main Street, or Pennsylvania Avenue? On greedy traders, misguided regulators, sleazy subprime companies, cowardly legislators, or clueless home buyers? According to Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera, two of America's most acclaimed business journalists, many devils helped bring hell to the economy. All the Devils Are Here goes back several decades to weave the hidden history of the financial crisis in a way no previous book has done. It explores the motivations of everyone from famous CEOs, cabinet secretaries, and politicians to anonymous lenders, borrowers, analysts, and Wall Street traders. It delves into the powerful American mythology of homeownership. And it proves that the crisis ultimately wasn't about finance at all; it was about human nature. Just as McLean's The Smartest Guys in the Room was hailed as the best Enron book on a crowded shelf, so will All the Devils Are Here be remembered for finally making sense of the financial meltdown and its consequences.
