Book excerpt: In 1972, Jan Sherman was a beautiful 22-year-old actress/stunt woman who fled the Hollywood 'rat race' by moving to the island of Ibiza off the coast of Spain. Her life changed forever after attending an eclectic party of expatriate artists and hippies when the hostess invited her to South America to buy and smuggle a kilo of cocaine. Jan knew nothing about the drug; what it looked like, how it was used, how to sell it or to whom. But the seductive lure of quick, huge profits to finance her travels around the world and a thirst for adventure convinced her to march blindly into the unknown - the ruthless, macho male dominated drug underworld. That decision changed her life forever.In search of the 'precious crystal', Jan chose to live a secret double life while 'acting' as a freelance photographer during the decade of the seventies. It was her preferred alternative to a 9-to-5 job. Luckily, it was before Pablo Escobar's Colombian Medellín cartel in the 1980's and Joaquin "el Chapo" Guzman's Mexican Sinaloa cartel in the 1990's, took control of the cocaine trade. Otherwise, she may not have lived to tell her story.Jan Sherman was a fearless, "kick-ass chick" with balls, who followed her own path. Her mantra was "living life to the fullest meant freedom and freedom meant money." While on the 'cocaine trail,' her gut instincts were her guide to every dilemma she encountered; surviving a coup d'etat in La Paz, mobsters in Lima and arrest in the Bolivian jungle. Most smugglers were busted, languishing in deplorable foreign jails for years or worse yet, murdered. Jan Sherman beat the odds, netting seven kilos of cocaine worth $2 million today.At the end of the book, there's a bonus portfolio of 68 color and B&W photos. Readers can see the 'real cast of characters,' as well as an amazing travelogue of Jan's photojournalism while experiencing her adventures in South America, Africa, and China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was no sign of life. But not for a second did Pascoe admit the possibility of death. Dalziel was indestructible. Dalziel is, and was, and forever shall be, world without end, amen. Chief constables might come and chief constables might go, but Fat Andy went on forever. Caught in the full blast of a huge explosion, Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel lies on a hospital bed, with only a life support system and his indomitable will between him and the Great Beyond. His colleague, Detective Chief Inspector Peter Pascoe, is determined to bring those responsible to justice. Pascoe suspects a group called The Templars, and the deeper he digs, the more certain he is that The Templars are getting help from within the police force. The plot is complex, the pace fast, the jokes furious, and the climax astounding. And above it all, like a huge dirigible threatening to break from its moorings, hovers the disembodied spirit of Andy Dalziel.

Download or read book The Bull of Mithros written by Anne Zouroudi and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is summer, and as tourists, drawn by the legend of a priceless missing artifact, disembark on the sun-drenched quay of Mithros, the languid calm of the island is broken by the unorthodox arrival of a stranger who has been thrown overboard in the bay. Lacking money or identification, he is forced for a while to remain on Mithros. But is he truly a stranger? To some, his face seems familiar. The arrival of the investigator Hermes Diaktoros, intrigued himself by the island's fabled bull, coincides with a violent and mysterious death. This violence has an echo in Mithros's recent past: in a brutal unsolved crime committed several years before, which, although apparently forgotten may not yet have been forgiven. As Hermes sets about solving the complex puzzle of who is guilty and who is innocent, he discovers a web of secrets and unspoken loyalties, and it soon becomes clear that the bull of Mithros may only be the least of the island's shadowy mysteries.

Book excerpt: As one of the original Thirteen Colonies and birthplace of the American Revolution, Massachusetts has continued the rich tradition of liberty throughout its storied history, becoming a primary contributor to many fields of human endeavor in American society. Massachusetts native August C. Bolino profiles two hundred significant historical personages from this state in Men of Massachusetts. Beginning with a brief history, Bolino traces the role individual men have played throughout the state's nearly four-hundred-year history, offering a concise and informative profile of each one. He discusses how Massachusetts has been a leader in reform movements, including education, the abolition of slavery, and women's and African American suffrage. In addition, Bolino depicts how people of Massachusetts spread culture in literature, music, entertainment, and sports, championed liberty, encouraged entrepreneurship, and paved the way for us in the twenty-first century. Profiles include such storied figures as John Adams and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Henry David Thoreau and Nathaniel Hawthorne, Elias Howe and Calvin Coolidge, and, of course, the Kennedy family. A true testament to the remarkable achievements of the people of Massachusetts, this compendium shows the fruits of true liberal philosophy.
