In Havana Nocturne, T. J. English offers a riveting, multifaceted true tale of organized crime, political corruption, roaring nightlife, revolution, and international conflict that interweaves the dual stories of the Mob in Havana and the event that would overshadow it, the Cuban Revolution. As the Cuban people labored under a violently repressive regime throughout the 1950s, Mob leaders Meyer Lansky and Charles \"Lucky\" Luciano turned their eye to Havana. To them, Cuba was the ultimate dream, the greatest hope for the future of the American Mob in the post-Prohibition years of intensified government crackdowns. But when it came time to make their move, it was Lansky, the brilliant Jewish mobster, who reigned supreme. Having cultivated strong ties with the Cuban government and in particular the brutal dictator Fulgencio Batista, Lansky brought key mobsters to Havana to put his ambitious business plans in motion. Before long, the Mob, with Batista's corrupt government in its pocket, owned the biggest luxury hotels and casinos in Havana, launching an unprecedented tourism boom complete with the most lavish entertainment, the world's biggest celebrities, the most beautiful women, and gambling galore. But their dreams collided with those of Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and others who would lead the country's disenfranchised to overthrow their corrupt government and its foreign partners—an epic cultural battle that English captures in all its sexy, decadent, ugly glory. Bringing together long-buried historical information with English's own research in Havana—including interviews with the era's key survivors—Havana Nocturne takes readers back to Cuba in the years when it was a veritable devil's playground for mob leaders. English deftly weaves together the parallel stories of the Havana Mob—featuring notorious criminals such as Santo Trafficante Jr. and Albert Anastasia—and Castro's 26th of July Movement in a riveting, up-close look at how the Mob nearly attained its biggest dream in Havana—and how Fidel Castro trumped it all with the Cuban Revolution.",2007,null,"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzxqc0dc5cxn8b9q9pzrkqp.jpg?v=da1ccdc217","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kwzxqbxt5yfh8me9mb0p9av5.png?v=780584475d","LEA]{V%NRQSi_N-BM|S$$,oLs:W=",0,400,455,"pending",true,false,[21],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24,"role":25,"bio":10},"01kpa77zk5zmrgk73p0yy11j8d","t-j-english-3u6k","T.

Now a journalist is following them. When Stieg Larsson died, the author of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo had been working on a true mystery that out-twisted his Millennium novels: the assassination on February 28, 1986, of Olof Palme, the Swedish prime minister. It was the first time in history that a head of state had been murdered without a clue who'd done it--and on a Stockholm street at point-blank range. Internationally known for his fictional villains, Larsson was well acquainted with their real-life counterparts and documented extremist activities throughout the world. For years he'd been amassing evidence that linked their terrorist acts to what he called \"one of the most astounding murder cases\" he'd ever covered. Larsson's archive was forgotten until journalist Jan Stocklassa was given exclusive access to the author's secret project. In The Man Who Played with Fire, Stocklassa collects the pieces of Larsson's true-crime puzzle to follow the trail of intrigue, espionage, and conspiracy begun by one of the world's most famous thriller writers. Together they set out to solve a mystery that no one else could.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24qp74ghhkeb2y0q5hd7zr.jpg?v=e13a6d24d3","L58;Y[tS0MWB{c-pJ8RjHYsmtRt6",2019,488,[153],{"id":154,"slug":155,"name":156},"01kx24qp70y5yfa0qj3kp7pkhq","jan-stocklassa-pbwk","Jan Stocklassa",[158,159,163,167],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":160,"name":161,"slug":162,"is_fiction":19},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":19},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":170,"complexity":10,"audience":171,"mood":172,"themes":175,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},"fast","adult",[173,174],"mysterious","tense",[],{"id":177,"slug":178,"title":179,"description":180,"primary_cover_url":181,"cover_blurhash":182,"first_publish_year":183,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":184,"authors":185,"genres":190,"series":202,"enrichment":203},"01kx24ty5x3bbkyn2efjcrncca","we-keep-the-dead-close-t26i","We Keep the Dead Close","FINALIST FOR THE J.

You have to remember, he reminded me, that Harvard is older than the U.S. government. You have to remember because Harvard doesn't let you forget. 1969: the height of counterculture and the year universities would seek to curb the unruly spectacle of student protest; the winter that Harvard University would begin the tumultuous process of merging with Radcliffe, its all-female sister school; and the year that Jane Britton, an ambitious twenty-three-year-old graduate student in Harvard's Anthropology Department and daughter of Radcliffe Vice President J. Boyd Britton, would be found bludgeoned to death in her Cambridge, Massachusetts apartment. Forty years later, Becky Cooper a curious undergrad, will hear the first whispers of the story. In the first telling the body was nameless. The story was this: a Harvard student had had an affair with her professor, and the professor had murdered her in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology because she'd threatened to talk about the affair. Though the rumor proves false, the story that unfolds, one that Cooper will follow for ten years, is even more complex: a tale of gender inequality in academia, a 'cowboy culture' among empowered male elites, the silencing effect of institutions, and our compulsion to rewrite the stories of female victims. We Keep the Dead Close is a memoir of mirrors, misogyny, and murder. It is at once a rumination on the violence and oppression that rules our revered institutions, a ghost story reflecting one young woman's past onto another's present, and a love story for a girl who was lost to history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24ty6chtk2grbfg6kgrsxs.jpg?v=767733e173","LMJ5fvxa;mxGUbrr$RR*~qS#S1X8",2020,506,[186],{"id":187,"slug":188,"name":189},"01kx24ty66bh7wcc4904r1v7a4","becky-cooper-t3yy","Becky Cooper",[191,192,193,197,198],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":160,"name":161,"slug":162,"is_fiction":19},{"id":194,"name":195,"slug":196,"is_fiction":19},79,"Education","education",{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":199,"name":200,"slug":201,"is_fiction":19},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":204,"complexity":10,"audience":171,"mood":205,"themes":208,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},"moderate",[174,206,207],"dark","thought-provoking",[209],"mystery-box",{"id":211,"slug":212,"title":213,"description":214,"primary_cover_url":215,"cover_blurhash":216,"first_publish_year":217,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":218,"authors":219,"genres":224,"series":227,"enrichment":228},"01kx269xvwm17ma70thqfybqqd","death-in-the-air-the-true-story-of-a-serial-killer-the-great-london-smog-and-the-strangling-of-a-city-vbng","Death in the Air The True Story of a Serial Killer, the Great London Smog, and the Strangling of a City","A real-life thriller in the vein of The Devil in the White City, Kate Winkler Dawson's debut Death in the Air is a gripping, historical narrative of a serial killer, an environmental disaster, and an iconic city struggling to regain its footing. London was still recovering from the devastation of World War II when another disaster hit: for five long days in December 1952, a killer smog held the city firmly in its grip and refused to let go. Day became night, mass transit ground to a halt, criminals roamed the streets, and some 12,000 people died from the poisonous air. But in the chaotic aftermath, another killer was stalking the streets, using the fog as a cloak for his crimes. All across London, women were going missing—poor women, forgotten women. Their disappearances caused little alarm, but each of them had one thing in common: they had the misfortune of meeting a quiet, unassuming man, John Reginald Christie, who invited them back to his decrepit Notting Hill flat during that dark winter. They never left. The eventual arrest of the \"Beast of Rillington Place\" caused a media frenzy: were there more bodies buried in the walls, under the floorboards, in the back garden of this house of horrors? Was it the fog that had caused Christie to suddenly snap? And what role had he played in the notorious double murder that had happened in that same apartment building not three years before—a murder for which another, possibly innocent, man was sent to the gallows? The Great Smog of 1952 remains the deadliest air pollution disaster in world history, and John Reginald Christie is still one of the most unfathomable serial killers of modern times. Journalist Kate Winkler Dawson braids these strands together into a taut, compulsively readable true crime thriller about a man who changed the fate of the death penalty in the UK, and an environmental catastrophe with implications that still echo today.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx269xw9w37aj4phxahe1rb6.jpg?v=63645dcfc4","LrJ[Cs%Lt7of~qt6RjWBD%ayWBWB",2017,329,[220],{"id":221,"slug":222,"name":223},"01kx269xw5a0knpaqhhzbztbxp","kate-winkler-dawson-mptt","Kate Winkler Dawson",[225,226],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":170,"complexity":10,"audience":171,"mood":229,"themes":230,"setting_period":10,"summary":214,"content_warnings":10},[206,174,173],[],{"id":232,"slug":233,"title":234,"description":10,"primary_cover_url":235,"cover_blurhash":236,"first_publish_year":237,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":238,"authors":239,"genres":252,"series":259,"enrichment":260},"01kv327ka701t1f2wanpecraf5","eta-icqe","ETA","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kv327kav20yxyfxnvg9y954v.jpg?v=7214e00510","L39Z};4o0L.8~VRjE1WC00?b-:D%",2001,60,[240,244,248],{"id":241,"slug":242,"name":243},"01kv327kagm03handpvxztbdkh","yonah-alexander-voii","Yonah Alexander",{"id":245,"slug":246,"name":247},"01kv327kaqe86x3sxyyej42fgy","michael-s-swetnam-m6vt","Michael S.

To test the theory, he murders a rapacious old pawnbroker. But the deed does not liberate him; instead it plunges him into a fever of guilt, paranoia, and self-loathing, hunted less by the police than by his own conscience.\n\nAs the shrewd investigator Porfiry Petrovich circles ever closer and the devout, long-suffering Sonya offers a path toward confession and redemption, Dostoevsky builds an unbearably intimate portrait of a mind at war with itself. A foundational work of psychological fiction, it remains a searching meditation on guilt, free will, suffering, and the possibility of moral rebirth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7sa63n7s9pw8c7r57xavv.jpg","LIM~Lmr@^PkWysS15kr=00wJq]s9",1866,"4.42",442,[326],{"id":327,"slug":328,"name":329},"01kjq7sa2qtzn21cnchnhn8yxm","fedor-mixailovic-dostoevskii-xtfh","Fyodor Dostoyevsky",[331,334,335,336,340,341],{"id":124,"name":332,"slug":333,"is_fiction":18},"Mystery","mystery",{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":138,"name":297,"slug":298,"is_fiction":18},{"id":337,"name":338,"slug":339,"is_fiction":18},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":293,"name":294,"slug":295,"is_fiction":18},{"id":342,"name":343,"slug":344,"is_fiction":18},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",[],{"pace":347,"complexity":10,"audience":171,"mood":348,"themes":349,"setting_period":10,"summary":352,"content_warnings":10},"slow",[206,174,207],[350,351],"morally-grey","unreliable-narrator","A destitute, brilliant former law student in St. Petersburg murders a pawnbroker to test his theory that extraordinary men are above the moral laws governing ordinary people — and is then consumed by paranoia as he tries to outmaneuver both the police and his own conscience.",{"id":354,"slug":355,"title":356,"description":357,"primary_cover_url":358,"cover_blurhash":359,"first_publish_year":360,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":361,"authors":362,"genres":367,"series":377,"enrichment":378},"01kjv3phk4vy4k33pch421pttw","my-friend-dahmer-gzkc","My Friend Dahmer","My Friend Dahmer is Derf Backderf's graphic memoir recounting his teenage friendship with Jeffrey Dahmer before he became one of America's most notorious serial killers. Set in Milwaukee during the 1970s and early '80s, the book follows both boys through Eastview Junior High and Revere High School — a period marked by bullying, isolation, and the slow hardening of Dahmer's pathology. Told in stark black-and-white panels, Backderf reconstructs their shared adolescence: Dahmer's binge drinking, his obsession with roadkill, his desperate need for attention, and the failure of every adult around him to see what was already forming beneath the surface. It is a rare work that forces readers to confront how proximity can mask evil until it is too late.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjv3phk4vy4k33pch421pttw.jpg","L07n5oP:L#56~p~qJC9a00S6~q-7",2012,232,[363],{"id":364,"slug":365,"name":366},"01kjv3phn2cnh3m2jthg4ser3q","derf-backderf-5xgg","Derf Backderf",[368,369,370,371,372,376],{"id":160,"name":161,"slug":162,"is_fiction":19},{"id":342,"name":343,"slug":344,"is_fiction":18},{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":373,"name":374,"slug":375,"is_fiction":18},18,"Graphic Novels","graphic-novels",{"id":199,"name":200,"slug":201,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":204,"complexity":10,"audience":171,"mood":379,"themes":380,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[206,174],[],{"id":382,"slug":383,"title":384,"description":385,"primary_cover_url":386,"cover_blurhash":387,"first_publish_year":388,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":389,"authors":390,"genres":395,"series":412,"enrichment":413},"01kjv3zr2062dk72dz629g9750","alan-turing-d1pc","Alan Turing","A definitive biography of Alan Turing, the mathematician and cryptanalyst whose work at Bletchley Park during World War II helped crack the Enigma code and lay the foundations for modern computer science.

It wasn’t long before the media got wind of the new Web site where anyone—not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers—could buy and sell contraband detection-free. Spurred by a public outcry, the federal government launched an epic two-year manhunt for the site’s elusive proprietor, with no leads, no witnesses, and no clear jurisdiction. All the investigators knew was that whoever was running the site called himself the Dread Pirate Roberts. The Silk Road quickly ballooned into $1.2 billion enterprise, and Ross embraced his new role as kingpin. He enlisted a loyal crew of allies in high and low places, all as addicted to the danger and thrill of running an illegal marketplace as their customers were to the heroin they sold. Through his network he got wind of the target on his back and took drastic steps to protect himself—including ordering a hit on a former employee. As Ross made plans to disappear forever, the Feds raced against the clock to catch a man they weren’t sure even existed, searching for a needle in the haystack of the global Internet. Drawing on exclusive access to key players and two billion digital words and images Ross left behind, Vanity Fair correspondent and New York Times bestselling author Nick Bilton offers a tale filled with twists and turns, lucky breaks and unbelievable close calls. It’s a story of the boy next door’s ambition gone criminal, spurred on by the clash between the new world of libertarian-leaning, anonymous, decentralized Web advocates and the old world of government control, order, and the rule of law. Filled with unforgettable characters and capped by an astonishing climax, American Kingpin might be dismissed as too outrageous for fiction. But it’s all too real.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzrd4fdy9d4mbrsvxebr5x8.jpg?v=99ed8675ad","LhI4hf_3-;IU?^?bx]M{S~xtRjRk","4.00",1,333,[459],{"id":460,"slug":461,"name":462},"01kns2hzyhvdmcr20exrvaxt6y","nick-bilton-cd5p","Nick Bilton",[464,465],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":404,"name":405,"slug":406,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":170,"complexity":10,"audience":171,"mood":468,"themes":470,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[174,469],"gritty",[],[472,611],{"key":473,"params":474,"works":475},"genre_year",{"genre":29,"year":9},[476,488,513,536,558,583],{"id":417,"slug":418,"title":419,"description":420,"primary_cover_url":421,"cover_blurhash":422,"first_publish_year":423,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":424,"authors":477,"genres":479,"series":484,"enrichment":485},[478],{"id":427,"slug":428,"name":429},[480,481,482,483],{"id":432,"name":433,"slug":434,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":437,"name":438,"slug":439,"is_fiction":19},{"id":272,"name":441,"slug":442,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":204,"complexity":10,"audience":171,"mood":486,"themes":487,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[446,207],[],{"id":489,"slug":490,"title":491,"description":492,"primary_cover_url":493,"cover_blurhash":494,"first_publish_year":495,"community_rating_avg":496,"community_rating_count":456,"page_count":497,"authors":498,"genres":503,"series":509,"enrichment":510},"01kx2gw7yvmx2nh237d8sbzjds","the-physick-book-of-deliverance-dane-ks0n","The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane","***A spellbinding, beautifully* written novel that moves between contemporary times and one of the most fascinating and disturbing periods in American history--the Salem witch trials.** Harvard graduate student Connie Goodwin needs to spend her summer doing research for her doctoral dissertation. But when her mother asks her to handle the sale of Connie's grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, she can't refuse. As she is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the family house, Connie discovers an ancient key within a seventeenth-century Bible. The key contains a yellowing fragment of parchment with a name written upon it: Deliverance Dane. This discovery launches Connie on a quest--to find out who this woman was and to unearth a rare artifact of singular power: a physick book, its pages a secret repository for lost knowledge. As the pieces of Deliverance's harrowing story begin to fall into place, Connie is haunted by visions of the long-ago witch trials, and she begins to fear that she is more tied to Salem's dark past then she could have ever imagined. Written with astonishing conviction and grace, *The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane* travels seamlessly between the witch trials of the 1690s and a modern woman's story of mystery, intrigue, and revelation.

Jean’s “psychiatric evaluations,” and hear how she tries to cheer up Trump’s gloomy, $750-an-hour shrink by telling him about the strange white tablet Hunter S. Thompson gave her. You will be in on the choosing of the “clothes for court,” and the creation of “the look”: a look that will help the jury connect the younger E. Jean who is attacked by Trump in Bergdorf’s with the older E. Jean who sits in the courtroom. It’s all here: two dazzling trials, the full-tilt high stakes, the laugh-out-loud commentary, and the inspiring fact that a woman is never too old to get even.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23z03sp8tv7vsm77fd31d0.jpg?v=d1f46ec12f","L58p=V9Eaw~V%0ozIo-o0f%3%29Y",2025,368,[656],{"id":657,"slug":658,"name":659},"01kx23z03npx4mky3wa5bxwgp7","e-jean-carroll-nwyt","E.

His crimes were horrific, and he paid the ultimate price for them. When journalist Martha Elliott first heard of Ross, she learned what the world knew of him-- that he had been a master at hiding in plain sight. Elliott, a staunch critic of the death penalty, was drawn to the case when the Connecticut Supreme Court overturned Ross's six death sentences. Rather than fight for his life, Ross requested that he be executed because he didn't want the families of his victims to suffer through a new trial. Elliott was intrigued and sought an interview. The two began a weekly conversation--that developed into an odd form of friendship--that lasted over a decade, until Ross's last moments on earth. Over the course of his twenty years in prison, Ross had come to embrace faith for the first time in his life. He had also undergone extensive medical treatment. The Michael Ross whom Elliott knew seemed to be a different man from the monster who was capable of such heinous crimes. This Michael Ross made it his mission to share his story with Elliott in the hopes that it would save lives. He was her partner in unlocking the mystery of his own evil\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2n78c63p4c78mx4jzhcyze.jpg?v=b4f7515b50","L3Ac@,02~qD%^*N#xv9aIStTNHIV",2015,330,[722],{"id":723,"slug":724,"name":725},"01kx2n78bvegm8ryddz2adnsyt","martha-elliott-uzxs","Martha Elliott",[727,728],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":160,"name":161,"slug":162,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":204,"complexity":10,"audience":171,"mood":731,"themes":732,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[206,174],[],{"id":734,"slug":735,"title":736,"description":737,"primary_cover_url":738,"cover_blurhash":739,"first_publish_year":565,"community_rating_avg":496,"community_rating_count":456,"page_count":424,"authors":740,"genres":745,"series":749,"enrichment":750},"01kx261n3asx61pwje40crqjtg","captive-2147-days-of-terror-in-the-colombian-jungle-o7bt","Captive 2,147 Days of Terror in the Colombian Jungle","Taken hostage by FARC guerrillas in the Colombian jungle, Clara Rojas survives six years of captivity, a harrowing forced birth, and the wrenching separation from her infant son Emmanuel in a powerful true story of endurance, motherhood, hope, and miraculous reunion. On a fateful day in February 2002, campaign manager Clara Rojas accompanied longtime friend and presidential hopeful Ingrid Betancourt into an area controlled by the powerful leftist guerrilla group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Armed with machine guns and grenades, the FARC took them hostage and kept them in the jungle for the next six years. After more than two years of captivity deep in the Colombian jungle, surrounded by jaguars, snakes, and tarantulas, miles from any town or hospital, Clara Rojas prepared to give birth in a muddy tent surrounded by heavily armed guerrillas. Her captors promised that a doctor would be brought to the camp to help her. But when Rojas went into labor and began to suffer complications, the only person on hand was a guerrilla wielding a kitchen knife. The guerrillas drugged Rojas with anesthetic while one of them slit open her abdomen. Her son, Emmanuel, was born by amateur cesarean section in April 2004. His survival was miraculous, but her joy was soon cut short when the FARC took him from her when he was only eight months old. For the next three years, Clara was given no information about him, but her desire to one day see him again kept her alive. In early 2008, Clara was finally liberated and reunited with her son—to whom this book is dedicated.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx261n3qvk971kpa1ts0fx2t.jpg?v=673ddaa912","LIFhg:baE3XO-ixYnRoe|@NIIsjI",[741],{"id":742,"slug":743,"name":744},"01kx261n3k5t80xy0mzb61mdmq","clara-rojas-3jsp","Clara Rojas",[746,747,748],{"id":160,"name":161,"slug":162,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":170,"complexity":10,"audience":171,"mood":751,"themes":753,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[174,206,752],"hopeful",[],[]]
