Download or read book The Max Freeman Mysteries Volume Two written by Jonathon King and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South Florida PI is back in the Edgar Award–winning series from a national bestselling author and “the master of the high-stakes thriller” (Michael Connelly). National bestselling author Jonathon King continues his Edgar Award–winning series that follows a tormented ex-cop from Philadelphia to South Florida on a quest to earn redemption from his dark past. “Whether taking us to the dark corners of the Everglades or the hard streets of Philadelphia, King’s writing is gritty, vivid, and suspenseful” (Harlan Coben). A Killing Night: After three young female bartenders are murdered in Miami, and another goes missing in Philadelphia, private investigator Max Freeman is hired—by his ex-girlfriend Sherry—to look into the deaths. He accepts the job grudgingly, especially since Sherry is convinced the killer is a retired police officer who once saved Freeman’s life back in Philly. “Compelling from start to finish.” —The Miami Herald Acts of Nature: Max and Sherry’s vacation in the Everglades ends abruptly when Hurricane Simone slams into the Sunshine State, leaving them stranded in the swamp and forced to contend with opportunistic crooks looking to benefit from the disaster and hired muscle from a powerful oil company hoping to protect a lethal secret—regardless of who stands in the way. “An action-packed glide through the Glades.” —South Florida Sun-Sentinel Midnight Guardians: Freeman takes on a case involving a conspiracy to defraud Medicare—but he quickly discovers there’s more to it than a simple scam. Soon the former Philadelphia cop is calling upon his old street instincts when an ex-drug kingpin known as the Brown Man turns up—and Freeman’s girlfriend, Det. Sherry Richards, is put in harm’s way. “Captivating.” —Publishers Weekly Don’t Lose Her: When a pregnant judge is abducted while presiding over the extradition hearing of a notorious Columbian drug lord, Freeman follows her trail into the Everglades to save her and her unborn child before it’s too late. “This book moves with relentless abandon.” —Michael Connelly
Download or read book Show Me A Hero written by Melvin B. Voorhees and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Show me a hero and I will write you a tragedy” is the quotation from F. Scott Fitzgerald that supplies the poignantly appropriate title to this novel. The hero is a three-star general in field command of the U.S. Army in Korea. He is a magnificent hero—brave, profoundly patriotic, professionally skillful, intensely human. His tragedy is double-barreled: his position requires him to fight a containing war when he believes that he should fight a war to win; and his personal life is closing in defeat because his wife and son cannot share his devotion to the Army. But the book is far more than the personal tragedy of General Lark Logan. It gives a panoramic and detailed picture of a modern army action. It traces the peculiar and often humorous experiences of enlisted men; it presents the details of a grimly conscientious court martial; it follows the working press and the working espionage systems of both sides; it affords a touching picture of a brave and deeply religious superannuated chaplain. Each of the individual stories is interrelated in a fine and highly skilled mosaic of narrative that keeps the reader turning pages to see what happens next—and that always satisfies him with the solution of each dramatic situation as it develops. In the end, one is exalted by the fine picture of devoted Americans in action—Americans who, with all their blatancy and occasional commercial cynicism, live the sort of lives and perform the sort of actions which have made America great and must continue to do so.

Download or read book Let s Talk about Flex Flipping the flexible working narrative for education written by Emma Turner and published by John Catt. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The narrative around flexible working needs flipping. After being able to work flexibly for 14 of her 23 years in education across teaching, school leadership and MAT leadership roles, Emma Turner realised that sadly, she's actually in the minority and has just been kinda lucky. Across the education system, although there is a recent groundswell of support for developing more life friendly, innovative and flexi ways of working, there are still a great deal of misconceptions, biases and prejudices about flexible working and flexible workers. Through her 'playlist' of educational floor fillers, Emma explores some of the successful ways in which flexible working can be viewed by both employers and employees for staff at all levels, including senior and school leadership. Designed to open up the flexible working conversation, this book outlines what can work, what has worked and what could work. This new way of viewing the flexi narrative from an experienced flex-pert encourages all to revisit our views on flexible working.

USA Today's Best Rom-Coms of July Shondaland's Best Books of July BookRiot's Best Romance Novels of July Sometimes fireman Lucas Strong feels like he can only find any peace and quiet at the local laundromat, where every day is rinse and repeat — until a fateful run-in with his high school crush. Hoping to attract more customers to his family’s knitting shop, Lucas Strong participated in an FDNY charity calendar and accidentally became a local celebrity. The only place he can find solace is Scrubs—a 24/7 laundromat where he can disappear for a couple of hours. But Lucas’s soapy sanctuary is shaken by an inquisitive little girl with a late-night interest in knitting, whose mother is his old school crush. Sydney Harris knows that Harlem is like any other small town, and everyone is probably whispering about how she left such a good man—and a good life—behind to wash and fold laundry by the pound. If only they knew the truth. But Sydney will always put her daughter’s happiness first, even if that means moving back to Harlem and facing her past. What Sydney never expected was to see Lucas again. A long-forgotten attraction kicks into high gear as Lucas and Sydney start to spend time together at the laundromat, and they must decide if this is true love or just an infatuation, thin and fragile as a soap bubble.
