A trophy wife with a past survives a narrow escape from a brazen attack. Mobsters and moguls with no shortage of reasons to kill trot out their alibis.

| detective beckett bikini: Making the Scene Stuart Robert Henderson, 2011-01-01 Making the Scene is a history of 1960s Yorkville, Toronto's countercultural mecca. It narrates the hip Village's development from its early coffee house days, when folksingers such as Neil Young and Joni Mitchell flocked to the scene, to its tumultuous, drug-fuelled final months. A flashpoint for hip youth, politicians, parents, and journalists alike, Yorkville was also a battleground over identity, territory, and power. Stuart Henderson explores how this neighbourhood came to be regarded as an alternative space both as a geographic area and as a symbol of hip Toronto in the cultural imagination. Through recently unearthed documents and underground press coverage, Henderson pays special attention to voices that typically aren't heard in the story of Yorkville - including those of women, working class youth, business owners, and municipal authorities. Through a local history, Making the Scene offers new, exciting ways to think about the phenomenon of counterculture and urban manifestations of a hip identity as they have emerged in cities across North America and beyond. |

| detective beckett bikini: The Hidden Island Angela Corner, 2016-11-26 A British detective working in the Greek Islands encounters a murderous pagan cult in this “brilliantly plotted and refreshing” crime thriller (Betsy Reavley, author of The Quiet Ones). After a traumatic case leaves his body broken and his career damaged, Detective Inspector Beckett Kyriakoulis leaves his old life behind to oversee the Criminal Investigation Bureau on the Greek Island of Farou. Working the beat of this hidden paradise will feel like retirement. The weather is beautiful, the beer is cold, and serious crime is exceedingly rare. But the tranquility of Beckett’s new life is cut violently short when dead bodies start showing up—murder victims that bare the markings of a pagan cult. With doubts about his mental and physical ability to handle the case, Beckett receives help in the form of a British detective who is everything Beckett is not—young, ambitious and by the book. As their investigation gets off to a rocky start, Beckett finds himself confronting the demons of his past. With victims and questions mounting, one thing is for certain: Sometimes paradise can be hell. The Hidden Island is the debut novel of screenwriter Angela Corner, whose credits include the BBC dramas Eastenders and Hollyoaks. |

In 2000, Sophie Cass, an ambitious journalist, may have finally found her big break. Convinced a celebrated painter in the Hamptons is hiding a dark secret, she sets off to unravel the truth about his past.

Despite the incredible danger they all face, the House of Dreams is a place of true camaraderie and creativity—and the setting of a love affair that changed the course of the painter’s life forever. But as Sophie digs further into his past, she begins to wonder whether some secrets are better left untouched . . . Inspired by the real-life heroism of Varian Fry and the volunteers who risked their lives to help save legendary figures like Marc Chagall, Hannah Arendt, and Max Ernst, Kate Lord Brown’s The House of Dreams is a lyrically told novel of great courage, love, and the power of art.

| detective beckett bikini: We've Scene it All Before Brian C. Johnson, 2009-01-01 A revolutionary tool for corporate and academic trainers, We’ve Scene It All Before harnesses the power of mainstream Hollywood film to enhance educational sessions about diversity and social justice. This resource manual offers practical guidance on how to effectively use the concept of difference as a starting point towards true inclusion. Seasoned and novice trainers will appreciate the suggested strategies and best practices on facilitating diversity dialogues, which are coupled with a set of twenty-five definitions that introduce and raise awareness of the personal and systemic nature of difference, discrimination, and power. Workshops on human relations and workplace diversity must move beyond the superficial “celebration” of diversity to the dismantling of systems of privilege and oppression that create environments where members of the organization are disenfranchised and disempowered. Using clips from a variety of genres of mainstream film allows the trainer to make intercultural concepts visible and offers a way for us to challenge our own values and assumptions. Participants will enjoy the presentations more as they view some of their favorite films in a whole new way; using this familiar medium creates a common basis for entering the discussions all the while giving us the permission to talk about serious and often controversial subjects. We’ve Scene It All Before: Using Film Clips in Diversity Awareness Training is a learning tool which will be tremendously useful in reducing resistance and increasing thoughtful cross-cultural dialogue. |

| detective beckett bikini: Realist Magic Timothy Morton, 2020-10-09 Object-oriented ontology offers a startlingly fresh way to think about causality that takes into account developments in physics since 1900. Causality, argues, Object Oriented Ontology (OOO), is aesthetic. In this book, Timothy Morton explores what it means to say that a thing has come into being, that it is persisting, and that it has ended. Drawing from examples in physics, biology, ecology, art, literature and music, Morton demonstrates the counterintuitive yet elegant explanatory power of OOO for thinking causality.
