Book excerpt: Pete and Dave Christos are a father and son detective team from Burlington, Vermont, who gained fame solving a case at nearby Castle College. Now, they’re on vacation. Dave and his wife are treating his parents to an anniversary cruise on the Sea Atlantic Acme. After gambling in the ship’s casino, though, Dave’s mom seems to have misplaced a pair of expensive earrings. When the jewelry of other passengers goes missing, the ship’s captain asks Pete and Dave to investigate, and they uncover a plot that could devastate the cruise industry. Phillip Santos and Donald Cruz from the Philippines have devised a method, thanks to the discovery of a computer expert, that allows them to get inside the safes of rich passengers. Phillip and Donald have their reasons for breaking the law, but that doesn’t mean Pete and Dave can let their crimes go unpunished. What began as a relaxing vacation has now become an oceanic investigation in which the power of deduction battles against the human need for survival—at any cost.
Download or read book The Travel Detective written by Peter Greenberg and published by Villard. This book was released on 2005-05-03 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned travel authority and NBC Today show travel editor Peter Greenberg shares his insider secrets. Americans now travel more than ever before. Yet as our traveling has increased, the service we receive from airlines, hotels, and other agencies has deteriorated dramatically. Industry surveys reveal what you already feel: growing dissatisfaction among travelers of every age, income, and education level. We've been abused by the travel experience. Peter Greenberg is here to help. The Travel Detective tells you the things most travel agents can't — or sometimes just won't — tell you. In his characteristic friendly and conversational tone, Greenberg tells how to find the secret walk-up fares that can save air travelers hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on last minutes flights; which coach seats on which planes are better than first class; the secret rule to know to avoid being bumped from a flight, which cruise ship brochures lie; which credit card companies are fastest — and slowest — to come to your aid in a foreign land, or worse, in the U.S.,; which hotels have the best — and the worst — fire and crime safety records, and how you can protect yourself; how to negotiate the best hotel room deal; which hotels have the worst water pressure in their showers (and better yet, how you can get great water pressure, even at those hotels); and much, much more. Accessible and entertaining, The Travel Detective gives you the information and tools you need to make every trip an affordable pleasure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Stream at times can suddenly branch off into two distinct distributaries. Its still the same stream but it now displays multiple characteristics. That is quite similar to what occurred in detective Kellers life. Keller is a fi ne family man and a very good detective, but temptation and a single bad decision on one particular night caused a split in his personality that would not heal on its own. His one bad decision spread like a lethal infection causing him to indulge in activities that were both vicious and mean; decisions that went against his basic instincts and beliefs, but those decisions brought misery and death to a host of innocent victims. He treasured his family and would do anything in his power to protect them, but he could not prevent a particular homicide that visits him as a result of his previous actions. Keller is fortunate to have people who are close to him, stand by him through thick and thin. Somehow his evil slate is cleared by an unusual event and he returns to being a productive citizen.

Download or read book The Ethical Detective written by Rachel Haliburton and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detective fiction and philosophy¾moral philosophy in particular¾may seem like an odd combination. Working within the framework offered by neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics, this book makes the case that moral philosophers ought to take murder mysteries seriously, seeing them as a source of ethical insight, and as a tool that can be used to spark the ethical imagination. Detective fiction is a literary genre that asks readers to consider questions of good and evil, justice and injustice, virtue and vice, and is, consequently, a profoundly and inescapably ethical genre. Moreover, in the figure of the detective, readers are presented with an accessible role model who demonstrates the virtues of honesty, courage, and a commitment to justice that are required by those who want to live well as a virtue ethicist would understand it. This book also offers a critique of contemporary moral philosophy, and considers what features a neo-Aristotelian conception of autonomy might display.
