Somehow their adopted sixteen-year-old daughter, Mary Ann Markham, who is also Drummond's granddaughter, and Mary Ann's best friend, Jennifer Martin, manage to convince the old man that Art and Marsha need chaperoning, so the two girls show up at the resort at the end of the first week, ostensibly to notify Art and Marsha that they've been booked for another week but really to investigate a corpse--soon to be two--discovered at the foot of a high waterfall on the resort's property. With their usual lack of good luck, all four get involved with searching for counterfeit fifty-dollar bills. Then Art, Mary Ann, and Jennifer manage to get themselves kidnapped by three thugs while attempting some unauthorized detective work on their own. While Marsha, inspired by the waterfalls at the resort, convinces Drummond to build a trail to an overlook for a waterfall on his property, the search for the counterfeiters goes on. Art, Mary Ann, and Jennifer keep getting themselves in more and more trouble until Art and Mary Ann come up with a brainstorm that finally leads them to the head of the counterfeiting ring and almost to their own deaths.
Download or read book Voices From the Heartland written by Carolyn Anne Taylor and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thought-provoking collection of essays on life and living Voices from the Heartland is a celebration of women’s contributions to Oklahoma’s recent past. It records defining moments in women’s lives—whether surviving the Oklahoma City bombing or surviving abuse—and represents a wide range of professions, lifestyles, and backgrounds to show how extraordinary lives have grown from the seeds of ordinary girlhoods. From former Cherokee principal chief Wilma Mankiller, First Lady Kim Henry, novelist Billie Letts, and prima ballerina Maria Tallchief, to OU basketball coach Sherri Coale, the authors share their personal reflections on finding balance as they look back on defining moments in their lives, mull over what they wish they had learned sooner, and convey the wisdom they’ve unearthed on their journeys thus far. Touching on topics from adultery to left-handedness, from losing children to losing perspective, these essays speak from the heart to reveal what it means to be an American woman today. Readers will meet activists and writers, advocates and artists—some of whom are household names, while others work outside the public eye. Voices from the Heartland speaks to readers all across America and demonstrates that women in Oklahoma represent the heart of us all.
Download or read book Killer Heels written by Sheryl J. Anderson and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2005-06-28 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molly Forrester had always hoped opportunity would knock, not throw itself at her feet. She enjoys playing a "Dear Abby" type for Zeitgeist magazine, a Manhattan glossy "wedged on the newsstand somewhere between Marie Claire and Cosmo." But when she literally stumbles onto a crime-tripping over a colleague's body and ruining her new pair of Jimmy Choos-she sees the potential to sink her teeth-or heels-into some real news for a change. After all, writing a column dealing with people's secrets should be good preparation for solving a murder. Especially since the victim was a notorious lady's man. Still, even an expert could use some help. So Molly enlists Cassady and Tricia, the best friends she always turns to for support, shoes, and the proper cocktail. She might even take a cue from that cute homicide detective... Or is he cozying up because he thinks Molly's a killer? Sheryl J. Anderson delivers a wickedly funny, sexy, and suspenseful novel about one girl tackling a killer in the Big Apple. Compared to negotiating Manhattan's singles scene, solving one eensy teensy stabbing shouldn't be that big a deal.... Right?

This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern banks represent an armada of privateer pirate ships that raid upon the ten trillion dollar / day digital flow of money about the world. When exposed and “fired upon at close quarters with Man of War” known as legislative investigatory committees, they panic and run for cover. They do this in various ways; one way could be to eliminate any of their officers that have knowledge of their previous law breaking - - - After all, “Dead Men Tell No Tales”. This analysis sizes the “booty” on an annual rate and analyzes the 66 banker deaths. There are currently 5 investigative committees or “Man of War” investigating the banks. The Regulatory agencies are toothless since the FED directly or indirectly controls them. They stay in the safe harbor, called “Do Nothing”. Many of the 66 people dead are traders, former traders, risk assessment officers or data processing experts. JP Morgan (19), ABN AMRO (2), Citibank (2) and Deutsche Bank (3) were all represented with “suicided” executives. Both Alan Greenspan and Henry Morgan were privateers whose owners sponsored their pirating. Both successfully brought booty home to their sponsors, both were rewarded with Knighthoods. Greenspan’s FED Armada takes about $14.5 trillion per year in booty from the citizens of the world. The solution is in legislation and the removal of the FED and the removal of the FED being in charge of all regulatory agencies.
