Wenn dein Leben Gefühle verbietet und das Herz doch triumphiert! Army-Veteran Malachi Coulter ist nicht gerade der typische Baseball-Manager. Noch dazu hält der waschechte Biker nicht viel von Cheerleadern auf dem Baseballfeld. Allerdings findet er durchaus Gefallen an der toughen Raina Easton, die die Truppe seit neuestem leitet. Raina hätte sich niemals vorstellen können, dass sie einmal Cheerleader trainieren würde. Schon gar nicht für ein Baseballteam wie die New York Saints. Aber als Besitzerin eines Burlesqueclubs kann sie nicht nur den Mädels den einen oder anderen Move beibringen. Es scheint, dass Bad Boy Malachi in ihr eine ebenbürtige Gegnerin gefunden hat. Denn in der Liebe und im Baseball ist (fast) alles erlaubt ...

Farewell to Conflict provides nonstop action in a crime novel that takes place in balmy Jamaica. Larry Lawless was born and raised in the ghetto. In high school he became a track star and met his girlfriend, Karen la Beach, who had a middle class upbringing. After graduating from university, Larry moves to Ocho Rios to set up a woodworking business. There he hopes to locate his mother’s relatives, since he never knew any other family than his mother. As he grapples with building his business, he is diverted by the murder of Karen’s uncle, as well as a woman found naked and spread-eagled with her wrists and ankles bound to the bedposts in her uncle’s home. Karen wants Larry to help her conduct their own investigation of the crime. Besides murder, extortionists target Larry’s business, wanting a share of the profits.

In the 1950s, Hollywood made a variety of sensational movies meant to capitalize upon current events, moral panics, and popular fads. The Cool and the Crazy examines seven of the decade’s key film cycles, including short-lived trends like boxing and juvenile delinquency movies, as well as uniquely ‘50s takes on established genres like the Western. Delivering sharp critical insights in jazzy, accessible prose, Peter Stanfield offers an appreciation of cinema as a “pop” medium, unabashedly derivative, faddish, and ephemeral.
