Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504051637
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
“A boffo performance” of crime, romance, and tabloid journalism from the three-time Edgar Award–winning author of Baby, Would I Lie? (Publishers Weekly). Sara Joslyn is fresh from journalism school and ready to take on the world. Unfortunately, she has to settle for the galaxy—the Weekly Galaxy, to be precise, the sensational gossip rag where no low is too low, and no story is too outlandish to print. From finding a dead body in a car before she even finds her desk to making her bones by interviewing a pair of one-hundred-year-old twins (never mind that one of them is dead) and jockeying for brownie points against a crew of ruthless fellow reporters who will do literally anything to make the front page, Sara soon learns the ropes—how to climb them, and how to use them to strangle the competition. But when Sara gets tapped to cover the clandestine wedding of TV idol Johnny Mercer, she will have to fight tooth and nail—and pen—for every scoop and picture if she wants to stay at the top of the bottom . . . “Versatile Westlake delivers another offbeat story about picaresque types in his inimitably satiric, irresistible style.” —Publishers Weekly Praise for Donald E. Westlake “Westlake has no peer in the realm of comic mystery novelists.” —San Francisco Chronicle “No writer can excel Donald E. Westlake.” —Los Angeles Times

Exposing the New Dangers of Pork
Author: Nasir Hakim
Publisher: Elijah Muhammad Books
ISBN: 1884855989
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Swine were designed to be scavengers: to eat the earth's filth, dead, sewage and waste. But after they do their work, it was not designed for humans to turn around and eat the organic garbage disposal itself! If we are going to eat the earth's filth ourselves, then making the swine was simply unnecessary. I am confident that if any intelligent person currently eating this most dangerous flesh, read the well documented facts inside this book, they will stop eating the poisonous swine immediately! For those who have stopped, you will want to investigate further, because you'd be surprised at the new forms this animal comes in, especially with the enormous variety of genetically engineered "foods." This is a process, of which, food manufacturers DO NOT have to inform the public by food labeling.

With her enigmatic mentor, Jack, covering her back, Nadia unearths sinister clues that point to an increasingly darker and deadlier mystery.
