Download or read book Deadly Beat written by Richard Latham and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-11-02 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'You go to work and you might be shot dead. You imagine being horribly maimed in a bomb blast. You come home and wonder if you'll be shot at the door. You go to bed with a revolver on the bedside cabinet. At times you wonder if this is really part of the UK' This was the world inhabited by Richard Latham during his service with the Royal Ulster Constabulary – a force that remains an institution of contradictions and intrigue to many outside observers. Considered by some to be one of the finest police forces in the world, its officers are looked upon by others as the evil storm-troopers of Unionism and the British Goverment. The RUC is now a force undergoing sweeping change in response to Republican demands, yet for 30 years it stood alongside the British Army in a war with Republicans that killed over 300 policemen and injured thousands more. For 14 years Latham, an Englishman, served as a police officer, both in England and in Ulster, transferring from the English Special Branch to the RUC in 1991. Deadly Beat is his raw and hard-hitting story, giving a unique insight into the grim reality of policing Ulster. Latham charts the dedication and restraint of officers who witnessed their colleagues die, yet were obliged to play within the rules of the law - rules so loaded in favour of the killers that comparatively few were brought to justice. This book exposes incidents of racism and religious bias experienced by the author himself. It looks behind the scenes to reveal the extremes of behaviour, alcohol abuse, womanising and petty corruption that the heady cocktail of stress, big pay packets and a sense of 'living for the day' bring to many of the men who don the RUC uniform. Deadly Beat is an open, warts-and-all view of the RUC by a man who makes intuitive comparisons between policing on the mainland and serving in Ulster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deadly Quiet (A Murder Mystery) By: B. J. Baumgardner About the Author B. J. Baumgardner, born October 28, 1935 in San Jose, IL, was the 10th child in an intellectual and innovative family of 10 children. She felt blessed to have so many loving sisters and brothers. B. J. lived a busy and interesting life. She received both a bachelor’s degree (from ISU in Normal, IL) and a master’s degree (from the U. of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, IL) in Physical Education. In addition, she earned a certificate from the Famous Writers School. After teaching only two years in Dwight, IL, she decided to join the Navy to expand her knowledge of what life had to offer. And she was successful as evidenced by being assigned to the Pentagon upon graduation from Officer’s Candidate School, which included delivering information regularly to the office of President Eisenhower and then President Kennedy. But B. J. always wanted to be a teacher, so she returned to teaching in Bloomington, IL upon completion of her Navy commitment. She taught a Bloomington High School for 30 years and then retired to her two homes - one in Normal, Illinois and the other in Las Vegas, Nevada where she spent the winter months. Not content with just teaching, B. J. continually needed a challenge. She and two friends, who were sisters, opened a clothing store in downtown Bloomington, IL featuring clothing for large woman called “Classics Unlimited.” Since they purchased a building that included rental units, they purchased additional rental property also. They were so successful with the clothing store that they opened a second one in a mall in Decatur, IL. After ten years, they sold out as other major stores were finally adding clothing for larger women to their inventories. Soon after, they also got out of the rental business. But they had a good run with these two endeavors that were quite successful. If this weren’t enough, B. J. loved music and singing, so she joined Sweet Adelines and performed with them for many years. So what did this woman do upon retiring from teaching? Her friend and traveling companion was still working, so B. J. decided to write murder mystery novels – 2 of them. Fortunately, she had studied for two years at the Famous Writers School for fiction writing in her early years due to her interest in writing. This helped her as she wrote many articles and stories for friends throughout her life. After retirement when she decided to write the murder mysteries, this background with the Famous Writers School proved to be a big advantage to her. In addition to all the above activities, B. J. played a lot of golf, because she loved the challenge of the game. Not surprising, she excelled at the sport. She also traveled continuously throughout the United States most of her life. Although she writes under the name of B. J. Baumgardner, to most of her family and friends, Betty J. Baumgardner, is known as “Nip,” a nickname given to her by her father when she was just a few days old. He introduced her as “a little nip of a thing.” From then on, she was Nip – and still is today.

His unorthodox but Priest does get results.
