Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spry seventy-year-old sleuth and her feline companion sniff out clues to a crime: “The observant Rachel is an appealing Jessica Fletcher antecedent.” —Publishers Weekly A letter has arrived at the home shared by the elderly Murdock sisters and their black cat, Samantha. It stirs Rachel’s curiosity, and Jennifer’s alarm, as she fears her sibling will once again head off on a dangerous adventure in detection. The letter-writer is an old friend’s granddaughter who explains that a bizarre drawing of a hand has been slipped under her door, making her very uneasy, and she’d appreciate Rachel’s sleuthing skills. Leaving a furious Jennifer behind and toting Samantha in her travel basket, Rachel departs Los Angeles to visit Prudence Mills and assess any possible threat to her. There’d been conflict over her late father’s business dealings, and Prudence’s little sister encountered a prowler in her bedroom. Even more troubling, Prudence’s face has been scarred by an unseen attacker—and for some reason, she fears telling the police. Now, in the snowy mountains, Rachel will be entangled in a chilling mystery—and, as a child of pro-temperance activists, visit a bar for the first time in her seventy years . . . “Dolores Hitchens has been writing novels of mystery and suspense, under a variety of names and in a variety of styles, but always entertainingly and often achieving something more than casual entertainment.” —The New York Times Catspaw for Murder was previously published under the pseudonymD.

Book excerpt: The astonishing untold story of the WWII airmen who risked it all in the deadly race to become the greatest American fighter pilot. In 1942, America's deadliest fighter pilot, or "ace of aces" -- the legendary Eddie Rickenbacker -- offered a bottle of bourbon to the first U.S. fighter pilot to break his record of twenty-six enemy planes shot down. Seizing on the challenge to motivate his men, General George Kenney promoted what they would come to call the "race of aces" as a way of boosting the spirits of his war-weary command. What developed was a wild three-year sprint for fame and glory, and the chance to be called America's greatest fighter pilot. The story has never been told until now. Based on new research and full of revelations, John Bruning's brilliant, original book tells the story of how five American pilots contended for personal glory in the Pacific while leading Kenney's resurgent air force against the most formidable enemy America ever faced. The pilots -- Richard Bong, Tommy McGuire, Neel Kearby, Charles MacDonald and Gerald Johnson -- riveted the nation as they contended for Rickenbacker's crown. As their scores mounted, they transformed themselves from farm boys and aspiring dentists into artists of the modern dogfight. But as the race reached its climax, some of the pilots began to see how the spotlight warped their sense of duty. They emerged as leaders, beloved by their men as they chose selfless devotion over national accolades. Teeming with action all across the vast Pacific theater, Race of Aces is a fascinating exploration of the boundary between honorable duty, personal glory, and the complex landscape of the human heart.

Book excerpt: The US-Soviet arms race, told through the story of a colorful and visionary American Air Force officer—melding biography, history, world affairs, and science to transport the reader back and forth from individual drama to world stage. "Compulsively readable and important.” —The New York Times Book Review In this never-before-told story, Neil Sheehan—winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award -- details American Air Force officer Bernard Schriever’s quest to prevent the Soviet Union from acquiring nuclear superiority, and describes American efforts to develop the unstoppable nuclear-weapon delivery system, the intercontinental ballistic missile, the first weapons meant to deter an atomic holocaust rather than to be fired in anger. In a sweeping narrative, Sheehan brings to life a huge cast of some of the most intriguing characters of the cold war, including the brilliant physicist John Von Neumann, and the hawkish Air Force general, Curtis LeMay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic conditions have vital roles to play in people's experience and perceptions of a place while socioeconomic status equally affects almost all aspects of human life, including security of lives and property. The book:”Vision 20: 2020 and the menace of vandalism” is a policy guide and direction signaling material. It pictures this global projection which the late President Umar Musa Yar'adua highlighted in his agenda as a dream towards attaining the nation's golden age. The book was equally written to propel the Nigerian government as well as her economic handlers to work towards the nation’s emergence as one of the 20 most economically viable nations of the World. Clearly, the book centers around the dream of development for the Nigerian economy. It analyzes the variables for and, the debacles against the attainment of the stated economic vision. More precisely, the book was written to re-echo the prophesy of economic prosperity for Nigeria as predicted by the World Bank when the country showed signs of possibilities around mid 2000s. The administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo (rtd) had successfully paid off one of the economic ravaging loans to Paris Club, the creditor. This accomplishment repositioned Nigeria for greatness with a vision to rank among the top 20 economies around the world in 2020. This tall expectation informed the need for holistic review of the nation’s internal potentials and the threats of saboteur which range from growing insecurity to wanton vandalism of infrastructures, including crude-oil pipelines. Crude-oil accounts for approximately 65% of the nation’s revenue. This reality directly ties the fate of the envisioned economic attainment to the effective protection of this sector. Fulfillment of responsibility becomes imperative for Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps in conquering the war of vandalism to set Nigeria on the path of fulfilling global economic prediction. The book advanced other measures to attaining economic stability in Nigeria. Well structured policies, strong political will and financial discipline were among other suggested measures.
