Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A taut and terrific page-turner” (Entertainment Weekly) from the master of the courtroom thriller “Great fun to read . . . The complex plotting is Grisham’s major accomplishment.”—Los Angeles Times In development as a USA Network series starring John Slattery It’s summer in Memphis. The sweat is sticking to Rudy Baylor’s shirt and creditors are nipping at his heels. Once he had aspirations of breezing through law school and punching his ticket to the good life. Now he doesn’t have a job or a prayer—except for one: an insurance dispute that leaves a family devastated and opens the door for a lawsuit, if Rudy can find a way to file it. By the time Rudy gets to court, a heavyweight corporate defense team is there to meet him. And suddenly he’s in over his head, plunged into a nightmare of lies and legal maneuverings. A case that started small is exploding into a thunderous million-dollar war of nerves, skill, and outright violence—a fight that could cost one young lawyer his life, or turn him into the biggest rainmaker in the land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will help you find faults and then solutions to establish a solid foundation for your company and, when required, quickly fix, coordinate recovery, raise finance, and advise you on how you can run a profitable business. Global statistics proclaim that 80 percent of new businesses fail within the first 18 months—shocking and true, but preventable. Many entrepreneurs use the poor excuse of undercapitalization, but recently over $1 trillion was invested in new projects. There are more simple and basic reasons for failure. The Rainmaker is thus called on to assist entrepreneurs to succeed past that financial ruin barrier of 18 months by helping them to properly structure and run a company that meets ultimate best practice solutions and systems—which are realistic and competitively better than peers. This book looks at how The Rainmaker is able to bring sunshine to desperate companies, by finding faults and then matching solutions to establish a solid foundation for your company and, when required, quickly fix, coordinate recovery, raise finance, and advise you on how you can run a profitable business. The Rainmaker is a combination of troubleshooter, advisor, mentor, and financier.
Download or read book Death of a Rainmaker A Dust Bowl Mystery written by Laurie Loewenstein and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2019 Oklahoma Book Awards, Fiction "The murder investigation allows Loewenstein to probe into the lives of proud people who would never expose their troubles to strangers. People like John Hodge, the town's most respected lawyer, who knocks his wife around, and kindhearted Etha Jennings, who surreptitiously delivers home-cooked meals to the hobo camp outside town because one of the young Civilian Conservation Corps workers reminds her of her dead son. Loewenstein's sensitive treatment of these dark days in the Dust Bowl era offers little humor but a whole lot of compassion." --New York Times Book Review "This striking historical mystery...is brooding and gritty and graced with authenticity." --NPR, A Best Book of 2018 "The Depression and a 240-day-long dry spell drive the desperate townspeople of Vermillion, OK, to hire a rainmaker, but he's murdered, leaving sheriff Temple Jennings to investigate. Loewenstein's terrific historical mystery wears its history lightly and its humanity beautifully. The first in a series, it's a realistic, expertly drawn novel with characters you'll come to love." --Library Journal, A Best Book of 2018 "The plot is compelling, the character development effective and the setting carefully and accurately designed...I have lived in the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma; I know about wind and dust...Combining a well created plot with an accurate, albeit imagined, setting and characters that 'speak' clearly off of the page make Death of a Rainmaker a pleasant adventure in reading." --The Oklahoman "Set in an Oklahoma small town during the Great Depression, this launch of a promising new series is as vivid as the stark photographs of Dorothea Lange." --South Florida, One of Oline Cogdill's Best Mystery Novels of 2018 "After a visiting con artist is murdered during a dust storm, a small-town sheriff and his wife pursue justice in 1930s Oklahoma. A vivid evocation of life during the Dust Bowl; you might need a glass of water at hand while reading Loewenstein's novel." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Editor's Pick "Laurie Loewenstein's new mystery novel...expertly evokes the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression...Loewenstein's novel sometimes reads like a combination of a Western and a mystery. But that genre mishmash works." --Washington City Paper "The plot is solid in Death of a Rainmaker, but what makes Loewenstein's novel so outstanding is the cast of characters she has assembled...Death of a Rainmaker is a suburb book, one that sets the reader right down amid some of the hardest times our country has faced, and lets us feel those hopeful farmers' despair as they witness their dreams turning to dust." --Mystery Scene Magazine When a rainmaker is bludgeoned to death in the pitch-blackness of a colossal dust storm, small-town sheriff Temple Jennings shoulders yet another burden in the hard times of the 1930s Dust Bowl. The killing only magnifies Temple's ongoing troubles: a formidable opponent in the upcoming election, the repugnant burden of enforcing farm foreclosures, and his wife's lingering grief over the loss of their eight-year-old son. As the sheriff and his young deputy investigate the murder, their suspicions focus on a teenager, Carmine, serving with the Civilian Conservation Corps. The deputy, himself a former CCCer, struggles with remaining loyal to the corps while pursuing his own aspirations as a lawman. When the investigation closes in on Carmine, Temple's wife, Etha, quickly becomes convinced of his innocence and sets out to prove it. But Etha's own probe soon reveals a darker web of secrets, which imperil Temple's chances of reelection and cause the husband and wife to confront their long-standing differences about the nature of grief.

Download or read book Awakening the Rainmaker written by Nishtha Anand and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-18 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As per the Global Gender Gap Report 2021, it will take 267.6 years to close the gender gap in economic participation and opportunity. In 2021, India slipped 28 places and ranked 140th among 156 nations in The Global Gender Gap Index. Our female labour force participation rate stands distressingly low at 22.3 per cent. Only 31 per centof women occupy the Chief Human Resources Officer's role in India, a role which is over-represented by women in other countries, such as the US and South Africa. Less than 3 per cent of Chief Executive Officers in India are women. Like many women in the middle of their career, author Nishtha Anand too was overwhelmed when she first became pregnant with her child-would she also fall off her career trajectory like countless others? She hoped to nudge women, their families and organisations with practical hacks for awakening the rainmaker in them and those around them. Thus was born Awakening the Rainmaker that will motivate women to pursue their dreams and ambitions-with free choices and no guilt. Nishtha captures the gaps and potential solutions across the life cycle of a woman. She includes her learnings and interactions with women from different fields-some of India's most powerful women in business, CEOs, entrepreneurs, award-winning scientists, leading sports personalities and digital influencers. These women had their own mountains to conquer which they did with determination, planning and the right support. Further, she focuses on requisites for upbringing, demeanour and corporate policies and defines a framework for organisations to ensure a gender-neutral ecosystem. Awakening the Rainmaker will inspire during the crossroads of life and lead the way for women to pursue their ambitions.
