The $2.50 is not clipp The elusive sixth sense, the strange other quality that transforms an ordinary man into the soul of a poet is one that defies definition. For to record impressions of life is no task; but to preserve for posterity a bit of life as seen through one man's eyes requires truly the hand of the artist. Edw. E. Bill presents his poems as one man's interpretation of life; to read them is to think, to relax, to enjoy living. So for your idle hours, for those moments when only good reading will satisfy, this is a book to have and to hold.

This is another paragraph Product Description: The first woman had her lungs ripped out. When the same gruesome ritualistic method was used again, it was clear that the same killer was responsible. But there is no precise evidence to link the two cases, except for the tantalising email. In his first crime novel, Craig Russell introduces us to a new detective hero, Jan Fabel -half-Scottish, half-German -a man of conscience and imagination. Russell has also created a richly textured scenario where the City of Hamburg plays a central role -it is a city where the old Germany combines increasingly with the new, where gangs from Turkey and the Ukraine battle for supremacy. Blood Eagle is a violently exciting thriller and Fabel's desperate attempt to solve the case before more victims are discovered, gradually uncovers layer upon layer of intrigue. How can he track a murderer who leaves no trail, whose victims seem purposefully random and whose motive reaches far beyond greed and lust, into the darkest recesses of the human soul?, Hutchinson, 4, New York: Packer Press, 1998.

SYNOPSIS: John Turner seemed to have it all. He was the leader-in-waiting of the Liberal Party of Canada at a time when that meant he would become the country's seventeenth prime minister. With his Hollywood looks, his Bay Street connections, and his enduring political legend as the finance minister from the days when federal governments balanced budgets, he looked like the man who couldn't miss. But he missed, and missed badly. Reign of Error, the most explosive political book of this year, perhaps this decade, tells how Turner reached out for his destiny, grasped it ever so briefly, then had it slip through his fingers. Investigative reporter and senior political writer Greg Weston has probed behind the headlines of the Turner years to show what went so terribly wrong for the Liberal Party and its leader. Reign of Error takes us into the filing cabinets where the secret memos are kept, into the backrooms and boardrooms, the hotel suites and campaign planes, the capital's official residence, and the inner sanctums of the prime minister's office where the desperate drama of the Liberal Party's collapse was played out. Based on exhaustive research and extensive interviews with frontline participants, this book makes clear how Turner and the Liberal Party were the fumbling authors of their own misfortune. How the party betrayed its soul in the hope of clinging to power. How Turner, bereft of a clear political vision and inspiring leadership, led the Liberals to humiliation and defeat. How have the Liberals fallen so low? Why were they beaten so badly? Why is the party that has governed Canada for most of this century in disarray and on the brink of bankruptcy? Why has their leader failed to live up to his legend? This, the inside story, tells how and why. Award-winning journalist Greg Weston has been the National Bureau Chief and Senior Parliamentary correspondent for The Ottawa Citizen since 1986. Born in Toronto in 1951, he began his journalism career as an editorial writer for The Kingston Whig-Standard, and went on to become a reporter and editor with The Toronto Star and The Citizen, where he was a senior investigative reporter prior to his present assignment. In 1984 he was awarded the prestigious Nieman Fellowship for Journalism at Harvard University, and in 1986 he won the Scales of Justice Award, the highest award for legal journalism in Canada..
