Download or read book The Lizard King written by Bryan Christy and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine The Sopranos, with snakes! The Lizard King is a fascinating account of a father and son family business suspected of smuggling reptiles, and the federal agent who tried to take them down. When Bryan Christy began to investigate the world of reptile smuggling, he had no idea what he would be in for. In the course of his research, he was bitten between the eyes by a blood python, chased by a mother alligator, and sprayed by a bird-eating tarantula. But perhaps more dangerous was coming face to face with Michael J. Van Nostrand, owner of Strictly Reptiles, a thriving family business in Hollywood, Florida. Van Nostrand imports as many as 300,000 iguanas each year (over half the total of America's most popular imported reptile), as well as hundreds of thousands of snakes, lizards, frogs, spiders, and scorpions. Van Nostrand was suspected of being a reptile smuggler by Special Agent Chip Bepler of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, who devoted years of his life in an obsessive quest to expose The Lizard King's cold-blooded crimes. How this cat-and-mouse game ended is engrossing and surprising.

Download or read book Crimes of Passion written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and passion can sometimes turn otherwise sane individuals into plotters and murderers. The strength of feeling when love is refused or jealousy strikes can fog the mind and heighten the senses and dull the reasoning. The feelings of passion, being needed, needing to love and needing to control an individual can induce a dark side and provide a fertile ground for the obsessions, greed, and envy that sometimes drag the shy, famous, and those around them, down to murder. Thus, the sophisticated Jean Harris lost the tight grip she normally held on her emotions and turned to murder. All-American girl Carolyn Warmus hid her desperate desire to be loved behind an illusion but the golden girl turned into a femme fatale. She killed for love.
