Download or read book The Bouncer written by David Gordon and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing Joe the Bouncer in “a tour-de-force, ranging from underworld crime to a unique caper and a terrorist plot . . . an outstanding new voice” (Robert Crais, #1 New York Times bestselling author). In David Gordon’s diabolically imaginative thriller, The Bouncer, nothing and no one is as expected—from a vial of yellow fragrance to a gangster who moonlights in women’s clothes. Joe Brody is just your average Dostoevsky-reading, Harvard-expelled strip club bouncer who has a highly classified military history and whose best friend from Catholic school happens to be head mafioso Gio Caprisi. FBI agent Donna Zamora, the best shot in her class at Quantico, is a single mother stuck at a desk manning the hotline. Their storylines intersect over a tip from a cokehead that leads to a crackdown on Gio’s strip joint in Queens and Joe’s arrest—just one piece of a city-wide sweep aimed at flushing out anyone who might have a lead on the various terrorists whose photos are hanging on the wall under Most Wanted. Outside the jailhouse, the Fed and the bouncer lock eyes, as Gordon launches them both headlong into a nonstop plot that goes from back-road gun show intervention to high-stakes perfume heist and manages to touch everyone from the CIA to the Flushing Triads. Beneath it all lurks a sinister criminal mastermind whose manipulations could cause chaos on a massively violent scale. “A brilliantly goofy caper novel in the grand tradition of Donald E. Westlake.”—The New York Times Book Review “[An] impressive crime novel . . . Gordon’s sharply drawn supporting cast adds a nice balance to all the action.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Download or read book 101 Tips on How to Be a Bouncer written by Darren Lee and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a fabulous Book. I wish I'd had it twenty years ago. How much hassle I could have avoided. The words are informed, empirical and in places profound. This is the 'door' bible for a new age. Highly recommended." Geoff Thompson - Author of Dead or Alive: The Choice is Yours and veteran ex-Door Man So you're a black belt, bodybuilder and think you have all the skills it takes to be a bouncer, huh? Well you may make a great 'bouncer', but if you want to become a professional crowd controller/ door supervisor who can handle situations effortlessly and with as little violence as possible then you are intelligent enough to recognize the importance of mastering the techniques in this book. With the nightlife industry becoming so heavily regulated and more and more venues taking a hard line on their 'no hit' policies, the nightlife security industry has dramatically changed since the old days of gorilla bouncers throwing people into trash bins, and therefore by necessity new skills have evolved. The author has over a decade of experience in the security industry and set out on a quest to codify the most workable techniques in nightlife security and educate others on their use to handle situations effectively, but with as little violence as possible. The author credits his background as a lawyer with many grueling years of experience in dispute resolution as his influence for many of the techniques outlined in this book which require a subtle, yet highly effective method of gaining compliance in oppositional situations. This book is the culmination of many years of trial and error by the author in learning the most practical and workable techniques of crowd control and learning from the wisdom of veteran security professionals and police officers. Just a few techniques you will learn in this book include: - Canned routines from experienced crowd controllers on how to refuse people entry and conduct evictions which are easy to learn and put into practice; - Multiple ways to gain leverage in confronting situations by using your environment; and - How to control situations verbally and use a little known 'Jedi trick' which demands compliance.
Download or read book Jacques Kallis and 12 other great SA cricket all rounders written by Ali Bacher and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2013-09-02 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa has produced more great cricket all-rounders than any other country. A century ago there was Jimmy Sinclair, the first man from any country to score a century and take six wickets in an innings in a Test match; and Aubrey Faulkner, still the only man with a Test batting average over 40 and a bowling average under 30. In the 1950s and 1960s, there was Trevor Goddard, opening batsman and the most economical bowler in Test history. And then came the brilliant era of Eddie Barlow, Tiger Lance, Mike Procter and Clive Rice (as well as Tony Greig and Basil D'Oliveira, South Africans who played for England). A great tradition was established for the modern era: Brian McMillan, Shaun Pollock, Lance Klusener and, perhaps the greatest of them all after Sir Garfield Sobers, Jacques Kallis. These are the 13 men who were worth two players in one, capable of winning a place as batsmen or bowlers, adored by the fans, and capable of changing a game with either skill. Now their careers and exploits are examined for the first time in one book - as are those of four players who, but for apartheid, might have been acknowledged as their equals: Taliep Salie, Gesant "Tiny" Abed, Cecil "Cec" Abrahams and Sulaiman "Dik" Abed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guts Amidst Bloodbath is the story of Aunshuman Gaekwad as told by him with many fascinating insights by his teammates, opponents, administrators, selectors, umpires, friends and family members. His is a name associated with Indian Cricket for more than 50 years in some form or the other. He has been a solid opening batsman, an astute administrator, an able selector, a successful coach, an analytical media person and above all a helping human being. But for a player who began his First-Class career as an off-spinner and lower order batsman, to become a Test opener for India is nothing short of remarkable. To play the fast bowlers of the 1970s and 1980s without helmets and other protective gears was an achievement in itself. Post his retirement, he has served Indian cricket in various capacities, the most notable one being his role as the coach of the team from 1997 to 1999. As a coach, he was known for his discipline, honesty and integrity. It is a testimony to his character, that he was re-called to coach the Indian team at a time of turmoil post the match-fixing saga. Even today, he is taking up the cause of Indian cricketers as the President of the Indian Cricketers Association (ICA). In summary, this tale is a celebration of the man and his contribution to Indian cricket. It charts the journey of a boy from Baroda who went on to become one of the most respected figures in world cricket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know someone who lives in a haunted house? What would you do if you moved into a haunted house? The story you are about to read is true. In fact it is the story of me and my family. I decided I wanted to move but where should I move to. I decided maybe I should leave the city and look further up north. I never expected to come this far up but here we are. They always say you never know what you're looking for until it hits you. One rainy Saturday morning I took the trip Upstate a three hour drive one way to meet with the real estate lady for another day of house hunting. This day I found the house I was looking for, or did it find me? Why I say this is because this is the house that I and my children said we didn't want when she had sent us the pictures over the internet. When the family and I went to meet with the real estate lady and the house inspector something happened that caught our attention as well as the attention of the real estate lady. I don't think we were wanted here. The Spirits did many things to send us away. I didn't get flustered too quickly though. I knew I needed help with this problem but who would I call. Now my hunt was on, I knew I needed to contact the paranormal society to get help. I started going through the internet. I found a chapter in Pennsylvania that was able to help me. Join me as I tell our story of what life is like in a home inhabited by Spirits. It's certainly never dull. I am a single mother of two children ages now 7 and 12 who wasn't happy in her environment or surroundings. My home life, my job, my neighborhood were all getting me down. I wanted out of everything. I took a big chance moving away from my family. My in laws also took a chance with me. I was making a new start for myself, my children and my in laws. I was scared not knowing where I would end up. It took me a year of house hunting, trying to find a home that I could afford. Searching in Queens or Brooklyn was impossible the prices there were astronomical. I always take chances in my life and usually stand on my feet like a cat in the end. This house wasn't on my list of possibilities but here I am two years later with a story to tell.
