Genre: Thrillers
FREE for a limited time
Venice during Carnevale seems like a dream vacation to American police detective Alex Polonia. There, she hopes to lose herself in the maze of romantic canals and forget her scumbag ex-husband, convicted of running a meth lab and selling drugs to kids on Cleveland’s south side.
The legacy of the Bosnian War and its brutal ethnic cleansing has brought journalist Marika Juric to Venice with one driving goal: Gather enough evidence to stop one of the war’s most vile men from becoming Croatia’s next president. And she knows there are those who will do anything to stop her.
However, these two strangers share more than their arrival at the same time in the City of Masks. They’re mirror images of each other — down to their blonde hair, nervous smiles, and blue eyes filled with desperation. This resemblance isn’t just uncanny; it’s dangerous and a death sentence.
When the secrets of Alex’s vacation rush headlong into Marika’s obsession, the fates of both women become entwined in the confusion of canals and alleys, working together is their only way to survive.
The new Windsor Hill Publishing edition of Venice Black brings back Alex Polonia to the world stage.

American Indian Wars: A History From Beginning to End (Native American History)
by Hourly History
Genre: History | Education & Teaching
FREE for a limited time
The American Indian Wars, a series of conflicts between white settlers and Native Americans which took place in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, were complex, brutal and many. An official United States Census report published in 1898 noted at least 40 wars which had taken place in the previous 100 years. The total number of individual wars probably numbers well over 100, though many were localized and on a very small scale.
The American Indian Wars were often bafflingly different, each with its own specific causes and precipitating factors. Yet each was also essentially similar: These wars was fought for possession of land. As white settlers gradually spread over what is now the United States of America, they encountered Native American tribes. The white settlers wanted to create farms and ranches. The tribes wanted the land for hunting. There could be no compromise — these were wars to the death for the right to establish or retain a way of life. The conflicts which resulted were numerous, violent, and localized. Although both sides suffered setbacks, this series of wars gradually pushed Native Americans out of their homelands to make way for the expansion of white settlement.
This is a concise telling of the American Indian Wars, from the earliest Beaver Wars in the seventeenth century between French, Dutch, and British settlers and their Native American allies to the tragic confrontation at Wounded Knee Creek at the end of the nineteenth century.
