Descirption: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">One of the first Mike Shayne's to be ghost written by Robert Terrall. It does feel a bit different than the ones written by Davis Dresser (in a good way). For one thing, the crooks are more nasty.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">"Blonde, beautiful--she had all the right measurements, all the wrong morals and had taken care of everything...the food, the drinks and herself as entertainment. To a guy just out of stir it was almost too good to be true, especially when she threw in a job with a $200,000 take. But after thirteen years in prison there were really only two things Bram Clayton wanted. One was her soft, warm body in his arms. The other was the cold, dead body of Mike Shayne--in the morgue."--from back cover.

Descirption: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">The Corpse Came Calling (1942) is a relatively early entry in Brett Halliday's Mike Shayne series. A woman comes to town and tries to get Shayne to murder her convict husband. Mike does in fact plug the guy but frames it on her anyway. A lot of people who aren't who they claim to be, including an FBI agent. Typical Shayne-anigans.

Descirption: from back cover Lost InnocenceMike Shayne had been in hotel bedrooms with beautiful girls before, but this time was different. This girl was different. She didn't smoke, didn't drink, and she blushed.Unfortunately, she was too good to be true. But Mike didn't realize this until later, after she lowered her eyes and softly confessed her one little vice -- murder.

Descirption: Photo FinishThe case almost ended before it began when a grinning Oriental pointed a camera at Mike Shayne and Mike found himself dodging bullets instead of looking at the birdie.Soon things were complicated by a woman-chasing French cop, a man-eating Fraulein, a sex-starved college teacher, a fortune in gold bullion, a cache of deadly drugs, and a South American revolution.It was all pretty confusing. But one thing was sure. Somebody badly wanted Shayne's picture--right on the obituary page!(back cover)

In the exclusive Martinique, last night, a private tête-à-tête between private detective Michael Shayne and luscious Lydia Kane was interrupted when the lady's husband made a surprise appearance. A violent exchange of words between the two men was followed by an equally violent exchange of blo.... From the beginning, Lydia Kane was nothing but trouble for Mike Shayne. And the ending (Lydia's, that is) was worse. It was murderous.

Descirption: Blackmailed Wido Can Be Deadly"Stop seeing the Senator," Mike said. "Unless you want the full facts about your Caribbean cruise all over Washington. Do you understand?"Maggie's face darkened. "I think you've made your point, Mr. Shayne."Suddenly, she slid open the top drawer of the desk and brought out a small automatic. "Don't Move.""Put that away. You won't shoot me."Maggie smiled. "With a billion dollars at stake a girl could do all sorts of things..."(back cover)

Descirption: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">From title page: Everyone had a tale to tell Michael Shayne. He had too many suspects to start with, and all of them were over-anxious to link themselves with murder. Some of them had actually come running to him with their stories before the crime was committed!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">The Shamus had to fill in the details himself and none of them were pretty. They dealt with secret assignations, queer sex exhibitions, blackmail--and brutal death. And the final punch-line was one of the most startling in Mike Shayne's violent career.

No one could dance like Dorinda. Shayne had to admit she was dynamite, but her explosive act was about to be broken up by murder.

Descirption: Good Looking and SimpleFurniture doesn't have to be complicated to be good looking. By reducing classic Arts & Crafts furniture designs to their basics, then adding simple, screw-together joinery, anyone can build great-looking furniture. Using basic tools (jigsaw, miter saw or circular saw and a cordless drill) even as a first-time woodworker you can successfully create a piece of furniture in a weekend that you'll proudly display for years.Each of the traditional (and some original) have designs in Arts & Crafts Furniture Anyone Can Make have been adjusted for size to accommodate the standard poplar, red oak or pine boards readily available at your local home center. The boards are sold cut to thickness and width, so with most of the projects all you need to do is cut the pieces to length and put them together.Even the finishes used are "off-she-shelf," relying on stains, paints and finish coats that are sold in any home center, and are easy to apply. . .

Descirption: Christmas, 1859. Just one month after the publication of On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin received an unsettling letter. He had expected criticism; in fact, letters were arriving daily, most expressing outrage and accusations of heresy. But this letter was different. It accused him of failing to acknowledge his predecessors, of taking credit for a theory that had already been discovered by others. Darwin realized that he had made an error in omitting from Origin of Species any mention of his intellectual forebears. Yet when he tried to trace all of the natural philosophers who had laid the groundwork for his theory, he found that history had already forgotten many of them.
Darwin's Ghosts tells the story of the collective discovery of evolution, from Aristotle, walking the shores of Lesbos with his pupils, to Al-Jahiz, an Arab writer in the first century, from Leonardo da Vinci, searching for fossils in the mine shafts of the Tuscan...

Descirption: Berries are among the healthiest foods on the planet - and more and more people today are becoming aware of their miraculous health-giving properties. For centuries, people all over the world have relied on them both as food and as medicine. Packed with goodness as well as flavour, they exude the freshness and romance of the great outdoors.

Every month, new research is published describing the health-giving properties of a well-known or recently discovered berry, and there is extensive literature to support the medicinal importance of a wide selection of species. This book is a celebration of the health-giving properties of berries, as well as a treasure-trove of fabulous ways to use them in your cooking.
