Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “FRANK SINATRA and DEAN MARTIN never knew how much trouble they were in until Robert J. Randisi stepped onto the scene. A gem of a read!”—SUE GRAFTON, author of S Is for Silence Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford are the Kings of Cool—the Rat Pack. Ocean's 11 is their first movie together and they have taken Sin City by storm—filming during the day and cavorting onstage at the Sands Casino at night. It's clear not everyone is charmed, however, when Dean begins receiving anonymous threatening letters. Eddie Gianelli, also called Eddie G., is a pit boss at the Sands. After twelve years, he's got the whole town wired. But he's still surprised when Joey Bishop drops by his table and invites him to meet with Frank in the Rat Pack's private steam room. Frank asks Eddie to find out who's been sending the threats, as a favor to him and Dean. Eddie wants to politely decline, but caught between his boss, Jack Entratter's, not-so-subtle nudging and being utterly starstruck by Dino, he agrees to look into it. He gets help from his P.I. best friend and a Jewish torpedo from Brooklyn. A few dead bodies and bruised ribs later, he remembers why he was reluctant. In a city of gamblers, Eddie has become the highest roller of all. The game is murder, and the stakes just may be his own life. Robert J. Randisi, the man Booklist claims "may be the last of the true pulp writers," takes his readers on a vivid, neon-lit tour of back rooms, bars, and famed gambling dens of the desert mirage that was—and still is—Las Vegas. Broads, blackjack, and bourbon flow. Celebrities, from John F. Kennedy to Angie Dickinson, strut in and out of this amazing first in a series that Rat Pack fans and crime fiction lovers will not want to miss. PRAISE FOR ROBERT J. RANDISI "This is a tremendously entertaining novel. If you're a fan of the Rat Pack, it's sacred."—T. Jefferson Parker, author of The Fallen "Randisi portrays splendid, seedy Vegas with a fresh and stunning perspective, making this a superb re-creation of those halcyon days and the hippest mystery of the year."—Ken Bruen, author of The Vixen "A terrific idea beautifully executed by one of the best storytellers in the business."—Max Allan Collins, author of Road to Paradise "Randisi delivers a masterpiece of plot and style, blazing with the bloody colors of early '60s Vegas."—Ed Gorman, author of the Sam McCain series "Guys in sharp suits, dice, cards, broads, booze—Randisi writes about it all as if he were a brother rat. What a time! What a town! What a book!" —John Lutz, author of Fear the Night

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a foreword by Carl Fogarty Joey Dunlop's story is one of towering triumphs and desperate tragedies in almost equal measure. Born poor - dirt poor - with no running water, no electricity, he was the definition of the everyman hero, earning the title 'King of the Roads' in what must be considered one of the world's most extreme sports - motorcycle road racing. And as well as being voted Northern Ireland's greatest ever sportsman, he remains the most loved and most successful road racer of all time. Joey Dunlop won the hearts and minds of millions during his thirty-one-year career, culminating in his greatest triumph in the year 2000 at the Isle of Man TT when, grey-haired, bespectacled, and approaching fifty years of age, he reclaimed his reputation as the greatest TT rider in history by defeating a whole new generation of talent and regaining the F1 crown for the first time in twelve years. But in road racing, tragedy is never very far away. Joey lost his life in a racing accident in July of 2000. It was just weeks after his final TT victory. More than 60,000 people attended Joey's funeral. Over twenty years after his untimely death, the sport has never truly recovered from his loss. Everyone with an interest in motorcycling knows the legend of Joey Dunlop but now, for the first time, they can get to know the man himself. This definitive new biography is the most comprehensive ever written on the man. In turns hilarious, triumphant and tragic, this is Dunlop's story as it has never been told before - by those who were part of it.

Fahima Deeb changed everything seven years ago when she triggered the Pulse, imbuing millions of people with otherworldly gifts like flight, telekinesis, or superhuman strength. She thought that would herald the end of the hostilities between those with abilities and those without, but it instead highlighted a new problem: There is someone behind the scenes, able to influence and manipulate these newly empowered people into committing horrible acts against their will. Worse still, that shadowy figure is wearing the face of Fahima’s oldest friend, Patrick Davenport. Fahima is horror-struck when she realizes that Patrick has built an army entirely under his control to wipe out all who oppose him. With nowhere to turn and few she can trust, Fahima must rely on uncertain allies: Carrie Norris, whose illusion of a normal life vanishes at Fahima’s reappearance. Clay Weaver, a retired soldier fighting to keep his husband and son safe—and to keep Patrick from taking over his mind. And, finally, Emmeline Hirsch, adrift and untethered from her ability to travel through time. Together, they might be able to topple Patrick’s shadowy regime . . . though it may spell destruction for the entire world.

Download or read book Mental Health Services for Vulnerable Children and Young People written by Michael Tarren-Sweeney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than half of children either in foster care, or adopted from care in the developed world, have a measurable need for mental health services, while up to one quarter present with complex and severe trauma- and attachment-related psychological disorders. This book outlines how services can effectively detect, prevent, and treat mental health difficulties in this vulnerable population. Responding to increasing evidence that standard child and adolescent mental health services are poorly matched to the mental health service needs of children and young people who have been in foster care, this book provides expert guidance on the design of specialised services. The first part provides an overview of these children’s mental health needs, their use of mental health services and what is known about the effectiveness of mental health interventions provided to them. The second part presents some recent innovations in mental health service delivery, concentrating on advances in clinical and developmental assessment and treatment. The final part confronts the challenges for delivering effective mental health services in this area. This is the definitive international reference for the design of specialised mental health services for children and young people in care and those adopted from care. It is invaluable reading for health and social care professionals working with this population and academics with an interest in child and adolescent mental health from a range of disciplines, including social work, nursing and psychology.

Download or read book Somebody s Gotta Tell It written by Jack Newfield and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2003-08-26 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Newfield has covered it all: he has documented he unfolding drama of the 1960s; followed the boxing careers of Ali and Tyson; taken on city hall; and kept his integrity intact in the rough world of tabloid politics. Somebody's Gotta Tell It is the clear-eyed memoir of a journalist whose love for his country, and passion for his profession, has never wavered. "Fast-written, rat-a-tat-tat memoir." -Chicago Sun Times "Jack Newfield is an old-fashioned newspaperman, skeptical, passionate, and brave. He really tells it in Somebody's Gotta Tell It-an absorbing and appealing memoir of a life committed to honest politics, honest sport, and honest journalism." -Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. "Newfield has made it his life's mission to uncover and share significant truths about important people and events. No one has done the work better, nor described it as well as he has in this brilliant and engaging memoir. This book is a great telling of American history-music, culture, sports, and civil rights." -Mario Cuomo "We count our blessings in having memorable crusaders for social justice who do not let their zeal override their commitment to professional integrity. In the golden company of Lincoln Steffens and Heywood Broun, let's welcome Jack Newfield. He writes with the sharp eye of the trained observer and the engaged heart of the humanist." -Budd Schulberg "In a time when American journalism is getting its shares of slings and arrows, Jack Newfield stands out as a national treasure. I can't think of anyone among us today, as this book amply demonstrates, who brings a more passionate commitment to his craft." -Peter Maas "He does not stop. He is the loudest liberal voice in a time of timid whispers. Always, Newfield's hands plunge into the muck, to pull out the truth. This fine memoir shows how much Newfield has seen, and been involved in, of what happened in our nation. And he tells it to us in the swift sentences of one who knows what he is writing about." -Jimmy Breslin "Enthralling, moving, and sometimes poignant, this book is a must for anyone who cares about the cutting edge of our times." -Richard North Patterson
