    The hot club in the 1960s, it is now reported to be haunted?and cursed. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is called there to investigate the apparent murder of Radcliff Hopkins, its new owner and the grandson of the man who made Number Twelve a cultural icon. Several bullets from a banned gun end his dream of returning the building to its former glory. With everyone around her talking about the supernatural, pragmatic Eve won't let rumors of ghosts distract her from hard evidence. The case becomes even more bizarre when it appears to be linked to the suspicious disappearance of a rock star eighty-five years ago. As Eve searches for the connection, logic clashes with the unexplainable. She may be forced to face the threat of something more dangerous than a flesh-and-blood killer.Duration: Approximately 180 min.

Awakening To Our Awful Situation: Warnings from the Nephite Prophets


Jack Monnett - 2006
    It is due, in large part, to wishful thinking. Good Christian conservatives are often a beleaguered, minority within a democratic society, and rarely gain the ability to effectively control the powers of government. Thus, when "one of our own." claiming to be true to the faith, gains political power, Christian conservatives almost always tend to place unconditional trust and approval in such a leader, even in he face of near constant betrayal. They never ask the crucial question: Why, if none of the true believers in constitutional limits can get elected, does their establishment suddenly back someone who was a "sudden convert" to the constitutional and limited government ideology? It is, as the old saying goes, "too good to be true." ...For example, almost all establishment sources, including educational institutions, attack mercilessly any person who believes in conspiracy, and this despite the evidence that conspiracies have always been present in the world since its creation.... Unfortunately, members of the LDS faith are particularly prone to this kind of denial and refusal to address the core political controversies of our time.... What this book gives you is a glimpse into the bowels of evil operating just below the surface of the "freest country on earth." The author feels, correctly, that it's time to take a serious look at the consequence of continued blindness to this growing and prophesied menace.... If after reading this comprehensive work you cannot sense that something is wrong, you will have to await the grand announcement of the Second Coming - when the secret acts of men throughout all the history of the earth will all be revealed. --- excerpts from book's Foreword
