Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revenge can be a force hard to fight. When it’s a family matter, sometimes it works both ways. Even after nine years. Sandie and Daphne discover their office has been wrecked. It’s one day after the crime boss who Sandie’s father was responsible for putting away died in prison. Nine years have passed since he brought down the family, and lost his life in doing it. It was the tragic event that led to Sandie taking over the family business. For a year afterwards the need for revenge burned away inside her. Then she accepted she’d already got it. The family had been destroyed because of her father’s determination to take them down. The head of the family and his eldest son were incarcerated for a long time. The hoods who worked for them but escaped prison went to work for Capone or Moran. The family was no more. Or so Sandie thought. The wrecked office is a sign someone hasn’t got closure. It’s not difficult to work out who it is. The boss’s second son, considered by his father too soft to join the family business, is out to prove he isn’t soft at all. It’s a dangerous scenario. The message left in the office places a target squarely on Sandie’s back. If she doesn’t implicate him before he takes the ultimate revenge, lives will be at risk. She’s all too aware that someone out to prove he’s got what it takes, when in reality he hasn’t, makes him the worst kind of loose cannon. The old feelings have returned with a vengeance. When it’s a family matter, sometimes it works both ways… Check out everything we do on the rtgreen website. And enjoy!

Download or read book Murder at the Green Mill Book one of the Sandie Shaw Mysteries written by R T Green and published by Wise Owl. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sandie witnesses her client committing a cut-and-dried murder, her head tells her to walk away. Her heart tells her she can’t. Keeping away from the mob is Sandie’s first rule of survival… until the day someone comes to call, and changes everything. It is 1920’s Chicago. What came to be known as the ‘roaring twenties’. For private investigator Sandie Shaw, ‘roaring’ was hardly the flattering kind of way she would ever describe it. Born and raised in the city, she despises everything it has become. In her view, Chicago typifies the false decadence gripping America. Still recovering from the lawlessness of the Wild West, her city and the rest of the country then entered the world war for a brief time, and when that was over, the whole nation seemed to lose all sense of reason. People went crazy. Prohibition raised its ugly head, and the mobsters and the flappers took over Chicago. Her beloved city had fallen at the mercy of those who believed they were above the law… once again. Now fifty-three, for a long time Sandie has had to be strong willed to stay in one piece. Being gutsy and taking no nonsense helps to maintain a sense of right and wrong, and to retain her very individual identity. Taking over the one-man agency when her father died, and making it a one-woman business, she knew from the off that in a male-dominated environment she would have to be tough, and witty, to succeed. And that keeping well away from anyone with a machine gun was a big part of staying alive. For eight years she has avoided anything mob-related. Then one day someone comes to call, and without Sandie even realizing what she’s getting into, suddenly she’s up to her chin in murky waters. And that changes everything… ‘Murder at the Green Mill’ is the inaugural book of the Sandie Shaw historical murder mystery series. All the RTG-brand features readers have come to love are here… high drama, heartfelt emotion, fast-paced action, witty humour, and of course, heaped spoonfuls of the unexpected.

She and the team set about unearthing the man’s back-story, and bit by bit uncover a shocking tale of betrayal and dishonesty, and a second suspicious death that occurred in the same place, sixty years earlier. The clues are in the crossword, half-completed before he died. Can the team decipher a cryptic and complicated story, and grant him a posthumous kind of justice?

When the ‘baby’ is in her late teens, and determined to show everyone she’s older than she really is, things can get a little out of control! Frank makes a special request to Sandie and the team, asking them to babysit a key witness, whose testimony will send a Miami crime boss down for a very long time. The FBI has kept her a secret, setting up a decoy to make sure she actually gets to Miami to give her evidence. No one else knows she’s anything other than a teenager off for a beach holiday. The problem is she lives in Chicago, and it’s rather a long way from Florida. So the deMountford and Shaw Private Investigations Agency are tasked with accompanying her on the Florida Limited night sleeper train, and keeping an eye on her in Miami until she gives evidence, after which the FBI will take over protection duties, once her identity is revealed. It seems like a simple babysitting job, until they discover the girl is determined to make the most of a few days away from her parents, and reap as much benefit from her trip as she can. None of them have any experience of controlling a rampant, precocious teenager, who seems committed to getting herself as noticed as possible! It’s not the best idea when she’s holding the key to taking down one of the most ruthless men in America. Especially when things turn a lot more dangerous, and Sandie and Daphne find themselves as much on their own as they’ve ever been.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Every Root an Anchor, writer and arborist R. Bruce Allison celebrates Wisconsin's most significant, unusual, and historic trees. More than one hundred tales introduce us to trees across the state, some remarkable for their size or age, others for their intriguing histories. From magnificent elms to beloved pines to Frank Lloyd Wright's oaks, these trees are woven into our history, contributing to our sense of place. They are anchors for time-honored customs, manifestations of our ideals, and reminders of our lives' most significant events. For this updated edition, Allison revisits the trees' histories and tells us which of these unique landmarks are still standing. He sets forth an environmental message as well, reminding us to recognize our connectedness to trees and to manage our tree resources wisely. As early Wisconsin conservationist Increase Lapham said, "Tree histories increase our love of home and improve our hearts. They deserve to be told and remembered."

Download or read book Main Street written by Sinclair Lewis and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carol Milford grows up in a mid-sized town in Minnesota before moving to Chicago for college. After her education, during which she’s exposed to big-city life and culture, she moves to Minneapolis to work as a librarian. She soon meets Will Kennicott, a small-town doctor, and the two get married and move to Gopher Prairie, Kennicott’s home town. Carol, inspired by big-city ideas, soon begins chafing at the seeming quaintness and even backwardness of the townsfolk, and their conservative, self-satisfied way of life. She struggles to try to reform the town in her image, while finding meaning in the seeming cultural desert she’s found herself in and in her increasingly cold marriage. Gopher Prairie is a detailed, satirical take on small-town American life, modeled after Sauk Centre, the town in which Lewis himself grew up. The town is fully realized, with generations of inhabitants interacting in a complex web of village society. Its bitingly satirical portrayal made Main Street highly acclaimed by its contemporaries, though many thought the satirical take was perhaps a bit too dark and hopeless. The book’s celebration and condemnation of small town life make it a candidate for the title of the Great American Novel. Main Street was awarded the 1921 Pulitzer Prize, but the decision was overturned by the prize’s Board of Trustees and awarded instead to Edith Wharton for The Age of Innocence. When Lewis went on to win the 1926 Pulitzer for Arrowsmith, he declined it—with the New York Times reporting that he did so because he was still angry at the Pulitzers for being denied the prize for Main Street. Despite the book’s snub at the Pulitzers, Lewis went on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930, with Main Street being cited as one of the reasons for his win.
