Book Description
In some parts of Philadelphia, you don't die, you don't get murdered, you don't commit suicide or fall off a roof or come home and light a cigarette when the oven pilot has gone out, blowing half the block to Kingdom Come. You get yourself dead. It was Benny Lunch who got himself dead, "Benny Lunch" because he believed that no matter how bad things got, no matter how much people hated each other and tried to kill each other, you could get them to sit down at a meal and work out their differences. He'd get them together and somehow arrangements were made, deals were greased, details would get ironed out and if you were to ask Ben how it came down, he'd just shrug his shoulders and say in that side-of-the-mouth way he had of talking that all he did was pick up the check. But Benny Lunch got himself dead. And now it is up to Benny Cosicki's daughter Andrea to find out who and why. Tall Andy, a demon with a basketball, just out of the University of Pennsylvania and aiming for a membership in the Newspaper Guild. Andy is going to find her father's killer -- because for sure he was killed; it was no accident. Benny Lunch knew the fire-ruined old neighborhood bar well enough to keep from falling through the second-story floor. Benny had met and married Andy's mother there; the bar had Benny's history in its blackened beams. So here is Andy, just hired by the Philadelphia Press to take over the Mr. Action column, which hasn't been in action for several months, citizen complaints piling up all the while. Andy quickly discovers that the quiet man next to her, "Shep" Ladderback, whose desk is always clean, has a cabinet full of files holding everything about everybody. He's also got a mind stuffed with memory and brains that work quietly and flawlessly, and she is more than lucky that he's taken it on himself to be her guide. Kent's years as a newspaperman in Philadelphia has been the perfect training for a book like Street Money. He knows the delicious details of the way politics works at the local level. He is as savvy about the scam artists fattening on the pretensions of the new suburban homeowners as he is about the former drug dealer who preaches hell-and-damnation in a deserted neighborhood bank. He takes us behind the scenes in a big-city newspaper. You could almost think of him as the live model for the all-knowing Ladderback. Between the assertive, independent, but still-learning Andy and the reclusive and somehow larger than life Ladderback, all sorts of wrongdoing and ill will is uncovered. It almost seems that with Benny Lunch's death, the things he was able to bury with his lunches, and thought were gone forever, are now surfacing to challenge his daughter. But having met Andy, we root for her as she accepts the challenge.

Book Description
Musaicum Books presents to you this carefully created volume of "The Leavenworth Case & Other Detective Novels - 22 Thrillers in One Edition". This ebook has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was an American poet and novelist. Green has been called "the mother of the detective novel". Green is credited with shaping detective fiction into its classic form, and developing the series detective. Her main character was detective Ebenezer Gryce of the New York Metropolitan Police Force, but in three novels he is assisted by the nosy society spinster Amelia Butterworth, the prototype for Miss Marple, Miss Silver and other creations. She also invented the 'girl detective': in the character of Violet Strange, a debutante with a secret life as a sleuth. Indeed, as journalist Kathy Hickman writes, Green "stamped the mystery genre with the distinctive features that would influence writers from Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle to contemporary authors of suspenseful "whodunits". She was one of the first writers of detective fiction in America and distinguished herself by writing well plotted, legally accurate stories. In addition to creating elderly spinster and young female sleuths, Green's innovative plot devices included dead bodies in libraries, newspaper clippings as "clews", the coroner's inquest, and expert witnesses. Table of Contents: The Leavenworth Case A Strange Disappearance X Y Z: A Detective Story Hand and Ring The Mill Mystery The Forsaken Inn Cynthia Wakeham's Money Agatha Webb One of My Sons The Filigree Ball The Millionaire Baby The Chief Legatee' The Woman in the Alcove The Mayor's Wife The House of the Whispering Pines Three Thousand Dollars Initials Only Dark Hollow The Mystery of the Hasty Arrow That Affair Next Door Lost Man's Lane The Circular Study

The Millionaire Manual
Author: Randle L. Alford
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1463435908
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
This book presents a refreshingly new method for coaching the individual on accumulating one millon dollars or more in the public markets. This uniqueness takes several forms. The first of these is the strucuture of the book itself. It is divided into four components. These components are Tools, Parts, Assembly and Warranty. In other words, it is set up as an Owners Manual for the individual. By analogy to other Owners Manuals which we have all seen and attempted to read, the Tools are generally things that are not included with a new item that we purchase and are required to assemble. We must either already have them or purchase them before we can begin the assembly process. The Tools section of this book is completely unlike other investment books. A reader can gain more from reading this section of the book than from most full texts on the subject. The Parts and Assembly sections of the book are in reality the how to of making money in the market. Although admittedly of little value without the first section, these areas combine academic theories with practical experience. Art and science are merged with real life examples of how you can make your money work for you. As a reader goes through these pages, his or her mind is transformed into new modes of thought. It is as if a light comes on and it all begins to make sense. The delivery is powerful and enlightening. The book concludes with a warranty section. It is of little value to accumulate assets if you are going to lose them. Insights are given on protecting not only your investment portfolio but other assets as well. There are full chapters on how to protect the home and auto as well as methods of getting maximum income while reducing taxes. The other area of uniqueness is the detail regarding how an investor must react to bull and bear markets and why they must act in a certain way. Making millions in the market is as much about being able to refrain from certain innate problems that we all possess as investors and converting our natures and subconscious minds in a way that allows us to be successful. Of particular interest are the stories which relate to everything from astro-physics to world history in teaching the reader about the investment world. This moves a rather bland subject from the area of boredom to very interesting reading. A reader will want to read this book again and again and keep it where it can be referred back to. It will be one Owners Manual that will not be locked away in a drawer.
