Lieutenant George Hastings, a cool-headed, quick-thinking police detective, leapt to the forefront of the St. Louis Police Department when two beat cops were gunned down, and he led the joint FBI/police taskforce that caught the killer. Now he is back at work with the FBI on a new case: Cordelia Penmark, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, has been kidnapped and her boyfriend callously executed outside of a posh holiday party for his law firm. The murder was clearly a message—the kidnappers are willing to take this as far as they have to—and the target and the ransom demand indicate that the crime is politically motivated. But the investigators are stumped. Wary because of bruised egos on his team and bad blood among members of the young woman's family, and suspicious of the kidnappers' intentions, Hastings knows that there's more than simple politics in play as the kidnappers pull him and the girl's father into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Slick, sharp, and authentic, Goodbye Sister Disco, the sequel to the acclaimed novel The Betrayers, establishes James Patrick Hunt as one of crime fiction's rising stars.

What do Dizzy Dean, Catfish Metkovich, John Boccabella, Bill Buckner, Mark Prior, and Jason Heyward all have in common? They all wore number 22 for the Chicago Cubs, even though eight decades have passed between the last time Dizzy Dean buttoned up a Cubs uniform with that number and the first time outfielder Jason Heyward performed the same routine. Since the Chicago Cubs first adopted uniform numbers in 1932, the team has handed out only 77 numbers to more than 1,500 players. That’s a lot of overlap. It also makes for a lot of good stories. Newly updated, Cubs by the Numbers tells those stories for every Cub since ’32, from current staff ace Jake Arrieta to former third baseman turned division-winning manager Don Zimmer. This book lists the players alphabetically and by number; these biographies help trace the history of baseball’s most beloved team in a new way. For Cubs fans, anyone who ever wore the uniform is like family. Cubs by the Numbers reintroduces readers to some of their long-lost ancestors, even those they think they already know.

In Pete Townshend: The Minstrel's Dilemma, Smith explores the legendary rock auteur's struggle between his own creative impulses and those of the commercial public. Faced with a modern version of the minstrel's dilemma, Townshend is shown as a musician confronting the same battles begun by early minstrels and later fought by composers such as Beethoven and Mozart. Early in his career, Townshend ignored his creative instincts to satisfy commercial agendas, but after his success, he slowly withdrew to resolve his conflict between creativity and commercialism. At the end of his thirty-year struggle he has emerged as a true artist, able to live up to audience expectation while attending to his own artistic impulses.

"Insieme ai Beatles e ai Rolling Stones, gli Who formano la trinità del rock". Parola di "Rolling Stone", e come dargli torto? In oltre quarantanni di attività la band britannica capitanata dal chitarrista e songwriter Pete Townshend ha coniato l'espressione power pop, cavalcato la sottocultura mod, definito il genere della rock opera con Tommy e Quadrophenia, regalato al pubblico concerti incendiari. Le canzoni di Townshend sono riuscite a dare voce, come forse nessun'altra, all'impeto, alla rabbia e alla disperazione dei giovani, con inni leggendari come My Generation e Won't Get Fooled Again, ma nel tempo hanno affrontato anche temi come la ricerca spirituale, la riflessione sull'invecchiamento e sul ruolo della musica. Il libro di Eleonora Bagarotti ripercorre la storia affascinante e folle della band, tra liti, progetti mancati, reunion e lutti: dalla formazione a Shepherd's Bush alla metà degli anni Sessanta alla tragica scomparsa del geniale e sregolato batterista Keith Moon nel 1978 e del fenomeno del basso John Entwistle nel 2002, da I Can't Explain a Endless wire, l'album pubblicato dal chitarrista insieme al vocalist Roger Daltrey nel 2006 dopo ventiquattro anni di silenzio discografico. Pungolato dall'autrice, lo stesso Townshend si è prestato al gioco del commento ai suoi stessi testi con dichiarazioni inedite ed esclusive. Prefazione di Ernesto Asssante.

Emerging from the mid-1960s R&B mod scene with furious teenage anthems like 'My Generation', The Who were the wildest, angriest and loudest kids on the block. And in spite of Townshend's most famous line - 'hope I die before I get old' - and unlike so many of their rivals, The Who lived to forge more mature works in the late 1960s and the 1970s with the phenomenal success of their pioneering rock opera, Tommy, their revered song collection Who's Next and Townshend's mod masterpiece Quadrophenia.

CO-ED SLAIN. That's the call that brings St. Louis Police Lieutenant George Hastings to the downtown banks of the Mississippi River, where Reesa Woods has been strangled and dumped. The hard-charging Hastings is no stranger to murder, but he's stuck without any leads until a second body—also strangled—turns up across town and he knows he's chasing a monster. A talented doctor with an otherwise ordinary and enviable life, Raymond Sheffield has some very dark needs. His first victims are targets of opportunity, but his ambitions go far beyond that. He's formed a taste for killing, and his only interest is in getting better at it. As the violence mounts, the line between upstanding citizens and their secret desires gets thinner and thinner in this thrilling game of catch-me-if-you-can from acclaimed crime novelist James Patrick Hunt.

Les Who s'étaient taillé des costards dans l'Union Jack. De vrais dandies de King's Road ou de Carnaby Street, avant que ces lieux ne deviennent des coins à touristes. L'âme du groupe, c'était Pete Townshend, le guitariste et le compositeur. Roger Daltrey, c'était le chanteur. A la basse, John Entwistle, une autre pointure. À la batterie, un Électron libre, avec un E majuscule, Keith Moon. En 1965, « My Generation », c'est un hymne de jeunes rebelles, avec des paroles agressives mais jouissives. Les adultes ne pouvaient pas les voir, tout cela parce qu'ils se baladaient dans le quartier. Douze ans plus tard, le brûlot des Sex Pistols, « God Save The Queen » apparaît comme un remake de « My Generation », tout aussi rebelle, tout aussi polémique. Les Who se lanceront dans l'opéra-rock, Tommy, l'histoire d'un ado qu'un traumatisme profond a rendu sourd, muet, aveugle. Ils se risqueront aussi dans des carrières solos. Celle de Roger Daltrey n'a pas fait long feu. Il était fait pour interpréter les morceaux des Who. John Entwistle est un parolier intéressant, mais ses textes hésitent entre le cynisme et l'humour noir. Dans ses albums solos il se lâche complètement. Il prend plaisir à raconter les histoires les plus saugrenues, avec son ironie mordante. Quant à Pete Townshend, si sa carrière solo n'a jamais vraiment décollé, c'est qu'il a donné dans tous les travers de l'époque, la drogue, l'alcool, le mysticisme. Pete Townshend avoue que les Who, c'étaient des gamins arrogants, mais pas eux seulement. Leur public aussi. Cette génération de baby-boomers n'a pas toujours été très glorieuse. C'étaient souvent des gamins mal élevés, imbus d'eux-mêmes. Le fameux Swinging London est vite retombé en poussière. But The Kids Are Alright, c'est bien connu. Pete Townshend n'est pas dupe un seul instant. « Toute cette musique doit disparaître ». Que restera-t-il des fameuses Sixties, du rock, de la musique pop en général, dans un siècle ou deux, ou même dans quelques décennies ? Deux ou trois refrains, et encore ? « Hey Jude » des Beatles, ou le riff de « Satisfaction » des Rolling Stones, comme « Le Beau Danube Bleu » a surnagé, un peu par hasard, au milieu de tant de valses de Vienne que l'on a définitivement oubliées ?
