Organized crime and political extremists take advantage, extending their power throughout town. Gereon Rath ... a young cop from Cologne, is transferred to the vice squad in Berlin, which is headed by the seemingly affable Bruno Wolter ... . Charlotte Ritter ... is a stenographer for the homicide department who lives a double life in the city's cabarets, a valuable resource for Rath's investigations.

Rogues brings together a dozen of his most celebrated articles from The New Yorker. As Keefe says in his preface "They reflect on some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial." Keefe brilliantly explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines, examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist, spends time in Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain, chronicles the quest to bring down a cheerful international black market arms merchant, and profiles a passionate death penalty attorney who represents the "worst of the worst," among other bravura works of literary journalism. The appearance of his byline in The New Yorker is always an event, and collected here for the first time readers can see his work forms an always enthralling but deeply human portrait of criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up against them"--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1367751</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1367751</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Keefe, Patrick Radden]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1367751026</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>True Stories of Grifters, Killers, Rebels and Crooks</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385675468/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=eBook-2720014-AH</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Beekeeper]]></title><description><![CDATA[One man's brutal campaign for vengeance takes on national dangers after he is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and covert organization known as "Beekeepers".]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1574870</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1574870</guid><category><![CDATA[DVD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1574870026</comments><format>DVD</format><subtitle>Le Gardien</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1420000319&amp;upc=777235036851</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Elias Conspiracy]]></title><description><![CDATA[After a brutal mission in France, former assassin Caspian Anderson recovers in the arms of German agent Liesel Bergmann on the shores of Mallorca.

As loyalties fracture and allies vanish, Caspian and Liesel chase the truth across Europe, uncovering a network of corruption capable of reshaping nations--and destroying anyone who stands in its way. As the pieces of the puzzle start coming together, more players enter the game, each one more unlikely than the last. Liesel's sister. Caspian's brother. A former police officer.

But Ellis Island isn't a refuge for Francesca or Alma, not when ships depart every day with those who are refused entry to the country and when corruption ripples through every corridor. While Francesca resorts to desperate measures to ensure she will make it off the island, Alma fights for her dreams of becoming a translator, even as women are denied the chance. As the two women face the misdeeds of a system known to manipulate and abuse immigrants searching for new hope in America, they form an unlikely friendship--and share a terrible secret--altering their fates and the lives of the immigrants who come after them. This is a novel of the dark secrets of Ellis Island, when entry to the land of the free promised a better life but often delivered something drastically different, and when immigrant strength and female friendship found ways to triumph even on the darkest days."--]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1505694</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1505694</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Webb, Heather]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1505694026</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>A Novel of Ellis Island</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781638087595/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Book That Wouldn't Burn]]></title><description><![CDATA[The boy has lived his whole life trapped within a book-choked chamber older than empires and larger than cities.

Fresh from the case of the stolen heart, one that shattered his belief in the regime he works for, Samson Kolechko is confronted by a new mystery that borders on the impossible. A troop of Red Army soldiers has disappeared without a trace while visiting a banya, a traditional Ukrainian bathhouse, in the heart of Kyiv. Their abandoned boots and uniforms are the only proof that they ever existed. Faced with such a fantastical conundrum, Samson must resort to a fantastical investigation method: stitching his operative severed ear into a bathhouse worker's jacket, he is able to eavesdrop on his every move. But he discovers far more than he bargained for, further complicating matters when he uncovers human remains in the stoves and the presence of a sinister religious cult in the city.

As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.

Defense Attorney Karen Wyatt exposed corruption in the police force and the District Attorney's office while getting her client exonerated in court. But in doing so, she put a target on her back and she was set-up on fake drug charge, imprisoned and disbarred until the conspiracy unraveled and her innocence was proven. Now reinstated to the bar, Wyatt is still interested in finding out who ordered her to be set-up -- but the key figures were either killed or are in Witness Protection. In the meantime, Wyatt is a practicing defense attorney, whose current client is either guilty of a heinous murder, or is a too-trusting patsy for an acquaintance set-up for a crime he didn't commit. It will take all of Wyatt's genius to defend her client successfully but that's just one piece of an increasingly complex puzzle."--]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1664465</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1664465</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Margolin, Phillip]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1664465026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250356895/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shadow Play]]></title><description><![CDATA["Slava Kadun, an FSB agent and one of Vladimir Putin's hitmen, discovers a lucrative sideline. Instead of killing Putin's critics, he "disappears" them with the help of a fourteen-year-old Ukrainian computer whiz who sets them up with fake identities. But when Slava gets a call to arrange a contract hit on an Ottawa realtor, Susan Winchester, he worries Putin may be on to him. And when he arrives in Ottawa to find the woman already dead in what looks like a professional hit, he has to track down the killer before the killer finds him. The problem is the Ottawa police are after the real killer too, and all the evidence points to Slava. Detective Jamie Wallace is back at work after a forced two week vacation, her punishment for punching another homicide detective, Michel Tremblay, in the face. When she's ordered to partner with Tremblay to investigate Winchester's murder, she knows it's going to be tough. She and Tremblay hate each other and this one's political. The mayor owns the unit where the woman was murdered, and there's a municipal election underway. But Jamie has no idea just how tough things are going to get. Haunted by the ghosts of the murder victim and a little boy she can't identify, she has dark family secrets that will be exposed as she and Tremblay track down a cold-blooded killer."--Back cover.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1538280</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1538280</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Blair, Peggy J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1538280026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780991923618/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1398634830</image_url></item></channel></rss>
