Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "INVENTIVE, ENTHUSIASTIC, AND OUTSPOKEN PROTAGONISTS . . . NEVER A DULL MOMENT." --Library Journal The Camden-sur-Mer retirement community on California's Gold Coast is riding high, thanks to transfers from a rival establishment--the "Geezer Factory." For one newcomer, however, the move is fatal. No sooner does that nice couple, the Goulds, move in than Harold Gould is murdered. So resident sleuths Angela Benbow and Caledonia Wingate set out to investigate a puzzle that begins with ghostbusting at the Geezer Factory. But only after acute risk to life, limb, and dignity does the indomitable duo put it all together--a picture that shocks them as much as it does everybody else. . . . "Fun, lighthearted, cleverly plotted entertainment . . . A comparison between Sawyer's spry and savvy senior-citizen sleuths and television's inimitable Jessica Fletcher seems almost inevitable." --Booklist

Download or read book The Suicide Murders written by Howard Engel and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ontario PI Benny Cooperman is on the case of a suspicious suicide in this “convincingly complex” mystery “with an ironic sense of humor” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Myrna Yates shows up at Benny Cooperman’s office asking him to check up on her husband, the contractor Chester Yates, who she believes is having an affair. It seems like an open-and-shut case, until Cooperman finds out that the straying spouse has committed suicide. Something doesn’t add up; Mr. Yates bought a 10-speed bicycle just 2 hours before he killed himself. Could this “suicide” in fact be murder? The Jewish detective’s got a whole new case on his hands, one in which the suspicions of a wife turn out to be much darker than anyone could have imagined. Cooperman’s a detective with flair. Kinder and gentler than your average PI—and ironically squeamish about violence—he’s the creation of author Howard Engel, a master of the crime genre whose enthusiastic fans have included Ruth Rendell, Donald E. Westlake, Julian Symons, and Tony Hillerman. Engel’s readership spans 13 countries, including Japan, England, Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark, the United States, and his native Canada. The Suicide Murders is the first book in the Benny Cooperman Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
Download or read book The Hate Factory written by David Leslie and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Convicted murderer Billy Ferris has endured more than three decades behind bars in many of Britain's prisons. In The Hate Factory, he candidly documents his experiences in jail with some of the UK's most notorious criminals. Jailed for life in 1977 for a crime of passion, Ferris experienced betrayal and treachery on the inside. He unexpectedly formed friendships that led to his being labelled a 'bombers' crony' and found love while on the run after a dramatic escape. He vividly describes the cruelty, savagery and degradation that go hand in hand with prison life and details the nightmare that was Wormwood Scrubs, the prison he christened 'the Hate Factory'. He relays what happened when his cell was used as a courtroom for an IRA punishment trial and how he hatched a plan to assassinate the son of a legendary underworld godfather and plotted to murder an informer. Over the 30 years during which Ferris has been imprisoned, his fellow inmates have included some of the UK's 'most wanted' from London underworld enforcer 'Mad' Frankie Fraser to Archie Hall, the serial killer dubbed 'the Monster Butler'.
