Two killers are prowling Manhattan. It's double duty for Erin and Rolf. A detective doesn't always have the luxury of giving all her attention to just one case. Erin O'Reilly and her K-9 partner, Rolf, have just started to sink their teeth into their latest investigation—a pair of Scottish gangsters, tortured, executed, and washed up on the rocks—when another mystery intrudes. A beautiful young woman is found dead in a locked hotel room, posed with a bouquet of fresh roses. It looks like a carefully staged suicide, but Erin isn't so sure. Soon she's juggling two cases at once, dodging bullets in a budding mob war while trying to nail down a cunning serial killer—one who just might be stalking her in return.

Book Description
Shots of Knowledge is a guidebook for whiskey lovers. Organized into approximately sixty illustrated essays, the book samples selected topics in whiskey production through the lenses of science and engineering. While the essays are subdivided into three sections—From Sunshine to Sugar, From Wee Beasties to White Dogs, and From Barrel to Brain—the reader is free to sip them in any order. The story commences with water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight; travels through the manufacturing process; and ends with the molecules that entertain the palate. Whether the topic is photosynthesis, bubble caps, oak speciation, or a mechanistic enzymology, the essays seek to reveal the simple beauty too often hidden in science and engineering. At approximately one page in length, each essay and accompanying artwork can be digested slowly at the rate estimated at three essays per bourbon or Scotch. Each essay is summarized in one or two sentences in a single “Shot of Knowledge.” Iconography anchors each essay in the production process. Inspiration for the book derived from a productive collision between individuals from TCU and the Firestone & Robertson Distilling Company.
