Shanghai, comme Macao, colonie portugaise, ou Hong-Kong, colonie anglaise, joua un rôle particulier dans la Chine continentale. La bureaucratie impériale considérait les marchands comme des pirates ou des contrebandiers. Incapables de contrôler les mécanismes économiques, les fonctionnaires impériaux allaient faire de Shanghai le fer de lance de ces zones d'activité autonomes. Car Shanghai était une ville frontière, fruit du conflit entre la Chine impériale et les puissances étrangères. Et comme elle se trouvait aux antipodes de ces puissances, on y vit débarquer des aventuriers en quête de fortune où ils donnèrent libre cours à leurs talents criminels en s'associant à des chinois qui allaient y prospérer et forger le destin de cette ville particulière.Avec les bouleversements politiques, les sociétés secrètes chinoises se transformèrent en organisations criminelles qui allaient accaparer les nombreux trafics. La plus prestigieuse d'entre elles portera le nom de Bande Verte. Et le plus prestigieux des chefs de la Bande Verte s'appellera Du Yuesheng, Du les Grandes Oreilles pour ses détracteurs.Du Yuesheng, orphelin ayant grandi dans le bidonville de Pudong, dans les faubourgs de Shanghai entra dans la Bande Verte à seize ans et son goût de l'aventure fit de lui l'un des chefs les plus puissants. Au prix du sang de ses adversaires. Il opéra dans le trafic d'opium dans la Concession française de Shanghai où il prospéra, tenant ce commerce d'une main de fer grâce aux nombreux membres de la Bande Verte et surtout à son pouvoir de conviction. Il trouva les arguments pécuniaires pour s'associer aux tenants de l'administration française.Les événements politiques qui bouleversèrent la Chine impériale à cette époque lui permirent de nouer des contacts avec l'homme fort du Parti nationaliste, le Guomindang, le général Tchang-Kaï-chek. Seule l'intervention japonaise mit un frein à son ascension, l'empêchant de se faire élire comme maire de Shanghai. Son éloignement du terrain signa le début de sa descente aux enfers.Du Yuesheng parvint malgré tout à maintenir sa puissance et à se faire élire maire de Shanghai en 1947 avec le concours du Guomindang. Mais cette gloire ne dura qu'une journée car il dut, aussitôt, se retirer de la vie politique. Il se consacra alors à ses affaires et devint l'homme le plus riche de la ville, le Seigneur de Shanghai.La prise du pouvoir par les communistes le força à quitter définitivement la ville et à se réfugier à Hong-Kong où il continua ses activités.Du Yuesheng mourut le 19 août 1951. Ne pouvant être enterré à Hong-Kong, son corps fut transféré à Taïwan où il fut enterré dans un mausolée à son image.

From #1 Amazon, New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Gemma Halliday comes a story about Sherlock Holmes, two savvy female detectives, and one chance to catch a killer and the hot Dr. Watson at the same time... If there's one thing Martha "Marty" Hudson can't say no to, it's her best friend Irene Adler. So when Irene's little white lie about a fake detective named Sherlock Holmes turns into a real case from an actual paying client, Marty is all in. But their simple missing person case takes a deadly turn when the missing "person" ends up being a missing corpse. Rebecca Lowery was an opera singer in life and, according to her sister, who hires the famous detective to find her, a diva with capital D. When her body goes missing after a supposedly accidental fall, Marty and Irene can think of several people who might want the diva to disappear permanently-especially if her missing body is actually hiding evidence of her murder. Is it the boyfriend with a temper and a shady record, the jealous understudy who's now stealing the show, the creepy undertaker with possible ties to the underworld, or the estranged sister herself who now inherits everything? Marty and Irene aim to find out, even while trying to keep cool around the hot ME, Dr. Watson, and dodging questions from the Irregulars blogger, Wiggins, about the mysterious man behind the name Sherlock Holmes. Will the ladies be able to pull this one off? Or are they in over their heads...and possibly about to take their own final bows?

Barry Logan's day starts out shitty and continues to go down the crapper. His car breaks down in the Middle of Nowhere, Colorado. The only mechanic for miles is out of town, forcing Barry to hole up and await his return. Bored and hungry, Barry goes to the town's only bar in search of food and entertainment. The former is almost inedible, but his interest in the latter is piqued when two specimens of cowboy perfection walk in. Barry has always had a thing for cowboys, and he's been on a mission to get up close and personal with as many as possible before flying home to England. Having two cowboys at the same time would be a new experience, and one Barry is eager to try. So when the two men leave the bar, Barry follows in hot pursuit. He overhears them arguing about whose turn it is to bottom that night. Without thinking, Barry offers his services. Jimmy Pierce and Jake Wilson drive Barry back to the Double J ranch for a night of wild passion he won't forget. The next morning, Barry wakes in an empty bed to a beeping smoke alarm. It seems the ranch cook quit the night before, leaving Jimmy, Jake, and their three ranch hands to fend for themselves. Barry immediately takes charge. His cooking meets with everyone's approval, and he agrees to stay on both in the kitchen and in Jimmy's and Jake's bed. The two cowboys are physically demonstrative, both with each other as well as with Barry, who finds himself falling fast for both of them. It's like a dream come true -- Barry has two men and a job he loves. But petty jealousies, rivalries, and miscommunications threaten to shatter the dream, and when Barry's scheming ex shows up, things get even worse. Sandwiched between two cowboy lovers, has Barry bitten off more than he can chew?

Likewise, trust, and honor each person's uniqueness, where they can be an example of the love of God on the earth.
