Wolf Creek trailer
We've talked before about the spoilers of trailers and how they can so easily give away the entire story within the short minutes it has to sell the movie to us. Yet there is a way they can be done just right, and I think this trailer for Wolf Creek from Bloody Disgusting through Twitch does that very well. You get a sense of Chainsaw Massacre mixed with Haute Tension from this, but not much more, and really that's just a hint of an aroma and no more. It's certainly enough to ge

Blue Death
Authors: Lillian O'Donnell.
Hardcover, 215 pages
Publisher: Putnam Adult
Publication Date: 1998-05-04


Reviews :

    At forty-one, Norah Mulcahaney's star is on the rise: She's passed the rigorous NYPD's captain's exam, and she's also succeeded in adopting a baby boy. But, her happiness is shattered when, within a month's time, four of her fellow officers commit suicide, each man found dead of a wound inflicted by his own service revolver. When Norah's longtime mentor, Chief James Felix, asks her to pay a visit to one of the grieving widows, Norah finds herself immersed in a controversial case that hits way too close to home. Chief Felix very nearly becomes the fifth victim, compelling Norah to prove the deaths are murder, not suicide. It's a race against time--before another of New York City's finest is laid to rest forever. With a plot that will keep O'Donnell's fans guessing, Blue Death is a gripping addition to the Norah Mulcahaney series....
