When Rambo pleads for help to clear his name, old debts and a history of friendship leave Elmo no choice but to investigate. With his girlfriend, Nicola, by his side, and Rambo’s freedom on the line, Elmo’s on the hunt for the real killer, but don’t panic…Elmo’s got a plan…sort of. Maybe.

Download or read book Winter Beach Dog Trot written by Richard Haight and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After buying a struggling veterinary practice in Winter Beach, Florida, Spencer Hawley and his Boston terrier, Gidget, are reduced to seducing and abducting neighborhood dogs by night to rustle up clients. They then return them safely to their frantic owners in the morning in exchange for their gratitude and patronage. It's not exactly the best way to do business, but Spencer is desperate. In the course of his breach of ethics, Spencer encounters Walker Braddock III, an unscrupulous mortician, and the sexually-conflicted Lucinda Vickers, Walker's former high school partner in crime. While finding herself attracted to both Spencer and his assistant Missy, Lucinda is even more enticed by the fortune she and Walker can realize if they are able to wrest the orange groves of citrus grower Eldridge Stoval out from under the Miami developers. To Spencer's surprise, he and Eldridge are linked by more than their interest in Boston terriers, but their bond is severed during Hurricane Buzz, when Eldridge is murdered-and Spencer is the number one suspect. With the investigation closing in, Spencer and Missy must find Eldridge's slayer to clear his name.

Download or read book My Way written by Paul Anka and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A teen idol of the 1950s who virtually invented the singer/songwriter/heartthrob combination that still tops pop music today, Paul Anka rocketed to fame with a slew of hits-from "Diana" to "Put Your Head on my Shoulder"-that earned him a place touring with the major stars of his era, including Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Buddy Holly. He wrote Holly's last hit, and just missed joining the rocker on his final, fatal plane flight. Anka also stepped in front of the camera in the teen beach-party movie era, scoring the movies and romancing their starlets, including Annette Funicello. When the British invasion made his fans swoon for a new style of music-and musician--Anka made sure he wasn't conquered. A rapier-canny businessman and image-builder who took his career into his own hands-just as he had from the very beginning, swiping his mother's car at fourteen to drive himself, underage, to his first gigs in Quebec-Anka toured the world until he could return home in triumph. A charter member of the Rat Pack, he wrote the theme music for The Tonight Show as well as his friend Frank Sinatra's anthem "My Way". By the 1970s, a multi-decade string of pop chart-toppers, including "Puppy Love" and "(You're) Having My Baby", cemented his status as an icon. My Way is bursting with rich, rollicking stories of the business and the people in Anka's life: Elizabeth Taylor, Dodi Fayed, Tom Jones, Michael Jackson, Adnan Khashoggi, Little Richard, Brooke Shields, Johnny Roselli, Sammy Davis, Jr., Brigitte Bardot, Barnum & Bailey Circus acrobats, and many more. Anka is forthcoming, funny and smart as a whip about the business he's been in for almost six decades. My Way moves from New York to Vegas, from the casino stage to backstages all over the world. It's the most entertaining autobiography of the year.
