Synopsis The Hunter by : Richard Stark

She shot him just above the belt and left him for dead. Then they torched the house, with Parker in it, and took the money he had helped them steal. It all went down just the way they'd planned, except for one thing: Parker didn't die. In The Hunter, the first volume in the Parker series, our ruthless antihero roars into New York City, seeking revenge on the woman who betrayed him and on the man who took his money, stealing and scamming his way to redemption. The volume that kickstarted Parker's forty-plus-year career of larceny—and inspired the 1967 motion picture Point Blank, starring Lee Marvin—The Hunter is back, ready to thrill a new generation of noir fans.

Synopsis Albert Paley by : Albert Paley

Albert Paley's monumental sculpture, Threshold, was dedicated on October 30, 2006, in Rochester, New York. Located in front of the new headquarters for the Klein Steel Service Inc., it was commissioned by the company and its CEO, Joe Klein, and it commemorates the long-standing professional and personal relationship between Albert Paley and Joe Klein. The book documents the history of Klein Steel from its origins in post-World War II Rochester to the present day. In doing so, the city of Rochester is featured as is the background of the steel industry in the United States. Joe Klein's education, busines acumen and his commitment to the arts and creativity is examined, as is his friendship with Albert Paley, covering over 35 years. The artist's evolution is framed within the context of patronage in the arts and corporate support of the arts, as well as against the background of recent public art and site-specific sculpture. Paley's work has been widely published, collected, and exhibited since the mid-1970s. He is constantly responding to new challenges and his sculpture has never ceased to evolve. This story of the making of Threshold reaffirms his search for new modes of creativity, as well as the dialogue between sculpture and architecture at the same time. This documents the unique bond between a chief executive officer and an artist.

Synopsis Locke & Key: Keyhouse Compendium by : Joe Hill

Now a Netflix original series! This new edition collects all six volumes of the critically acclaimed series into one massive compendium. Named a "modern masterpiece" by The A.V. Club, Locke & Key tells a sprawling tale of magic and family, legacy and grief, good and evil. Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times-bestselling author Joe Hill (The Fireman, Heart-Shaped Box, NOS4A2) has created a gripping story of dark fantasy and wonder--with astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez--that, like the doors of Keyhouse, will transform all who open it. Following their father's gruesome murder in a violent home invasion, the Locke children return to his childhood home of Keyhouse in secluded Lovecraft, Massachusetts. Their mother, Nina, is too trapped in her grief--and a wine bottle--to notice that all in Keyhouse is not what it seems: too many locked doors, too many unanswered questions. Older kids Tyler and Kinsey aren't much better. But not youngest son Bode, who quickly finds a new friend living in an empty well and a new toy, a key, that offers hours of spirited entertainment. But again, all at Keyhouse is not what it seems, and not all doors are meant to be opened. Soon, horrors old and new, real and imagined, will come ravening after the Lockes and the secrets their family holds.
