Last Rites: A Novel (Harvey, John, Charles Resnick Novels.)
This is Charlie Resnick's final case-and it's Resnick at his finest.

Guns and drugs, gang wars and police corruption: seems more like America's inner cities than England's Nottingham, where once the only crime wave was wrought by Robin Hood. This one, alas, has local law enforcement tied up in knots. So when a convicted murderer out on compassionate leave turns up at his mother's funeral and abruptly disappears, the local cops don't have much time to spare for a manhunt. Let the prison authorities do the job.

But things aren't quite that simple. They never are when it comes to crime-or to affairs of the heart. Last Rites is a gritty and violent tale of modern-day cops and killers, but at its beating heart, it's about love: obsessive, familial, perverted, tender. It's about what we do in the name of love-and what love does to us. It's a fitting end to a fine series..

The Place of the Audience: Cultural Geographies of Film Consumption (BFI Modern Classics)
It has been a recurring complaint both within, and against, Film Studies that it has largely ignored the activities of audiences. This book addresses this absence and explains its cause. The authors argue that there is a social context in which the consumption of film can be understood or studied historically and demonstrate that a concentration on the place of film consumption within the changing cultural politics of the city can offer a compelling and productive focus of analysis..

The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood
The Preface begins: "You who so plod amid serious things that you feel it shame to give

yourself up even for a few short moments to mirth and joyousness in the

land of Fancy; you who think that life hath nought to do with innocent

laughter that can harm no one; these pages are not for you. Clap to the

leaves and go no farther than this, for I tell you plainly that if you

go farther you will be scandalized by seeing good, sober folks of real

history so frisk and caper in gay colors and motley that you would not

know them but for the names tagged to them. Here is a stout, lusty

fellow with a quick temper, yet none so ill for all that, who goes by

the name of Henry II. Here is a fair, gentle lady before whom all the

others bow and call her Queen Eleanor. Here is a fat rogue of a fellow,

dressed up in rich robes of a clerical kind, that all the good folk call

my Lord Bishop of Hereford. Here is a certain fellow with a sour temper

and a grim look--the worshipful, the Sheriff of Nottingham...".
