Download or read book License to Pawn written by Rick Harrison and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Las Vegas, there's a family-owned business called the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, run by three generations of the Harrison family: Rick; his son, Big Hoss; and Rick's dad, the Old Man. Now License to Pawn takes readers behind the scenes of the hit History show Pawn Stars and shares the fascinating life story of its star, Rick Harrison, and the equally intriguing story behind the shop, the customers, and the items for sale. Rick hasn't had it easy. He was a math whiz at an early age, but developed a similarly uncanny ability to find ever-deepening trouble that nearly ruined his life. With the birth of his son, he sobered up, reconnected with his dad, and they started their booming business together. License to Pawn also offers an entertaining walk through the pawn shop's history. It's a captivating look into how the Gold & Silver works, with incredible stories about the crazy customers and the one-of-a-kind items that the shop sells. Rick isn't only a businessman; he's also a historian and keen observer of human nature. For instance, did you know that pimps wear lots of jewelry for a reason? It's because if they're arrested, jewelry doesn't get confiscated like cash does, and ready money will be available for bail. Or that WWII bomber jackets and Zippo lighters can sell for a freakishly high price in Japan? Have you ever heard that the makers of Ormolu clocks, which Rick sells for as much as $15,000 apiece, frequently died before forty thanks to the mercury in the paint? Rick also reveals the items he loves so much he'll never sell. The shop has three Olympic bronze medals, a Patriots Super Bowl ring, a Samurai sword from 1490, and an original Iwo Jima battle plan. Each object has an incredible story behind it, of course. Rick shares them all, and so much more -- there's an irresistible treasure trove of history behind both the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop and the life of Rick Harrison.

I, a man adrift in the city's teeming currents, find solace only in the companionship of my faithful feline companion, Luna. My monotonous life of menial labor and meager sustenance is confined to a cramped flat, haunted by the ever-looming threat of eviction. The city's cacophony-the creaking floorboards, distant sirens, and relentless footsteps-has become a cruel symphony, mocking my precarious existence. Desperation gnaws at me as job applications pile up unanswered, and my gaze falls upon Luna, her emerald eyes reflecting both my failures and my resolve. Amidst the fog-choked streets, a flicker of hope appears in the form of Chelsea, a mysterious woman with eyes as piercing as Luna's. She offers an audacious proposition: to steal a priceless black diamond, the Midnight, from the wealthy and ruthless Ashworth family. Driven by a longing for a better life, we embark on this perilous heist. But as fate would have it, Chelsea's tragic accident shatters our plans, leaving me alone with the diamond and a world of regret. Haunted by her loss and pursued by Ashworth's relentless wrath, I must navigate a treacherous web of deception to survive. Adopting a new identity, I confront Ashworth, negotiating my safety with the very jewel that now symbolizes both my deepest love and my darkest guilt. As I prepare to vanish into the city's shadows, the question remains: Can I escape the clutches of my past and find redemption, or will the fog-laden streets of London consume me entirely? In " Midnight" the city's indifferent heartbeat echoes the struggles of a man fighting against the currents of fate, love, and desperation, with each step teetering on the edge of salvation and oblivion.

Download or read book The Bishop s Pawn written by Steve Berry and published by Minotaur Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bishop’s Pawn continues renowned New York Times top 5 bestseller Steve Berry’s Cotton Malone series with another riveting, history-based thriller. History notes that the ugly feud between J. Edgar Hoover and Martin Luther King, Jr., marked by years of illegal surveillance and the accumulation of secret files, ended on April 4, 1968 when King was assassinated by James Earl Ray. But that may not have been the case. Now, fifty years later, former Justice Department agent, Cotton Malone, must reckon with the truth of what really happened that fateful day in Memphis. It all turns on an incident from eighteen years ago, when Malone, as a young Navy lawyer, is trying hard not to live up to his burgeoning reputation as a maverick. When Stephanie Nelle, a high-level Justice Department lawyer, enlists him to help with an investigation, he jumps at the opportunity. But he soon discovers that two opposing forces—the Justice Department and the FBI—are at war over a rare coin and a cadre of secret files containing explosive revelations about the King assassination, information that could ruin innocent lives and threaten the legacy of the civil rights movement’s greatest martyr. Malone’s decision to see it through to the end--from the raucous bars of Mexico, to the clear waters of the Dry Tortugas, and ultimately into the halls of power within Washington D.C. itself--not only changes his own life, but the course of history. Steve Berry always mines the lost riches of history--in The Bishop's Pawn he imagines a gripping, provocative thriller about an American icon.
