The Hitman's Daughter


Book Description

The Château du Ciel was once the destination for the rich and famous to play, drink and ski—complete with a private railway to shuttle those desiring extra privacy—now, however, the guests are few and far between. The New Year’s Eve party was supposed to hoist the rundown hotel back to its former status, until a massive blizzard hits, trapping the guests who’ve come to celebrate the grand hotel’s last hurrah. The circumstances might even be romantic, if the hotel wasn't reputed to be haunted. When hotel employee Mave Michael finds the resident artist dead, and shortly thereafter hotel security finds Mave alone with the body, the reputation that Mave has fought long and hard to outrun comes back to haunt her. You see, her father is a notorious hitman who is serving multiple life sentences in prison. She has changed her name and location dozens of times, but he somehow manages to track her down—even sending her a postcard on the eve of her birthday, January 1st. She’s the perfect choice to frame for murder, and now the number one suspect. Mave can no longer deny the lessons in survival her father taught her, and calls on that and her uncanny sixth-sense in “finding” lost objects to navigate the maze of the hotel. To save herself, she not only has to stop running from her own past, she must unearth the history of the hotel, its elite guests and buried secrets—one deadly sin at a time. An homage to classic gothic horror, that proves that the ghosts of family and classism are alive and well.




Introduction to John Wick (film)


Book Description

The film 'John Wick' is a 2014 American neo-noir action thriller directed by Chad Stahelski and written by Derek Kolstad. The film stars Keanu Reeves in the titular role as John Wick, a retired hitman who seeks vengeance for the killing of his beloved dog, Daisy. The film is set in New York City, where John Wick is a legendary assassin known as "the boogeyman," but after finding love and leaving the criminal underworld behind, he leads a peaceful life with his wife. After her death from an illness, Wick receives a final gift from her, a beagle puppy named Daisy, who becomes his only companion. However, when a group of Russian mobsters led by a man named Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen) break into his home, beat him, and kill Daisy before stealing his car, Wick emerges from retirement to track them down and take revenge. The film adopts a visually stylized aesthetic with action sequences that blend martial arts choreography, gunfights, and car chases. Its success has been attributed to its engaging protagonist, its gritty and grounded approach, its focus on practical stunts and effects, and its inclusion of world-building elements, such as the network of assassins and the Continental hotel. The film's critical and commercial success spawned two sequels, 'John Wick: Chapter 2' (2017) and 'John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum' (2019), as well as other media adaptations in the form of comic books and video games.
