Download or read book Bingo King written by Robert Roehl and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When his former boss at the DA's office offers Henry Burkhart a job-"a little undercover work"-outside the official channels, he's grateful to get paid in cash and piqued by what sounds like the perfect fit for his particular skill-set-and, well, his disposition. But he can't hide his disenchantment when he's told that the criminal world he's supposed to infiltrate is the Colorado bingo industry. The fact that the only legal gambling allowed in the state does $300 million a year and is solely regulated by the notoriously inefficient yet flamboyant Secretary of State does little to boost his rock-bottom expectations. Church raffles, pep club fund raisers, the Loyal Order of the Moose, and Catholic school basement gatherings, what could possibly happen? And after three weeks on the job at Clancy's Bingo City, the low-rent version of the American melting pot peopling the room in front of him does little to inspire his thoughts from the absurd. But when three men in black wearing masks and welding shotguns burst into the middle of a game and attempt to hold a hundred-plus hostages while they pilfer the office safe, Henry is inspired to new heights of ingenuity as he comes to the rescue: he throws the main breaker switch plummeting the entire room in darkness and chaos. While this works out better than more judicious minds might predict, it also ramps up the rivalries between the two main bingo operators in the metro area. These antics unfold at the level you might expect of a Godfather prequel: a small-scale mock gang war with drive by shots-across-the-bow, loud-mouth shouting matches, and rival advertising smear campaigns that conversely result in boosting attendance. But when it eventually escalates to the point of arson, and Bingo City is burnt to the ground, the next round of retaliation turns to murder. The more Henry digs and the further he worms his way into a position of trust among this oddball clique of egocentric nerds, Tammy Faye lookalikes, and gun happy speed freaks, the more convinced he becomes that there is, indeed, a 'bingo mafia'. And the closer he gets to Frank Coyne, the man who has the cheek to call himself the King of Bingo on the basis of a mastery of high school arithmetic and a disregard for misdemeanor tax law, the more he has to admit that this smug and nerdy halfwit actually could be a master of deception and manipulator of lives. But as Henry closes in on the true culprit of the murders he is yet again blindsided by the discovery that it's among the women in the family, role-playing as complaisant and behind the throne, who are the most deadly and deceptive. It is bingo noir at its hinkiest and it's going to take dumb luck, a little romance, and a good deal of help from his friends for Henry to finally uncover the deadliest among them.

Book Synopsis Talking to Strangers by : Malcolm Gladwell
Download or read book Talking to Strangers written by Malcolm Gladwell and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers and why they often go wrong—now with a new afterword by the author. A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Press How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to one another that isn’t true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland—throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don’t know. And because we don’t know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times.
Book Synopsis Inside the Mind of BTK by : John Douglas
Download or read book Inside the Mind of BTK written by John Douglas and published by Wiley + ORM. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The FBI profiler & co-author of the #1 New York Times–bestseller Mindhunter recounts his role in catching one of America’s most notorious serial killers. Inside the Mind of BTK tells the incredible true story of how FBI profiler John Douglas tracked and participated in the hunt for one of the most notorious serial killers in US history. For thirty-one years a man who called himself BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) terrorized the city of Wichita, Kansas, sexually assaulting and strangling a series of victims, taunting the police with cryptic communications, and bragging about his vicious crimes to local newspapers and television stations. After disappearing for nine years, he suddenly reappeared, complaining that no one was paying enough attention to him and claiming that he had committed other crimes for which he had not been given credit. When he was finally captured, BTK was revealed to be Dennis Rader, a sixty-one-year-old churchgoing, married man with two children. As a leading serial killer profiler for the FBI, John Douglas was first called to consult about the case in 1980 and remained involved with the story and all of its principal players up to the arrest and prosecution. After Rader was arrested, Douglas was granted both an exclusive interview with the killer after his sentencing, as well as access to friends, family, and police. In this page-turning book, Douglas reveals both new information and insight into why Rader did what he did, why he stopped for a mysterious nine-year period, and his current psychological state in custody. Praise for Inside the Mind of BTK “Legendary profiler and bestselling author Douglas (Mindhunter), who pioneered the FBI’s systematic study of serial killers, offers his insights into one of this country’s most chilling killers—Dennis Rader, a seemingly innocuous family man and municipal employee, whose brutal murders terrorized Wichita, Kans., for three decades. . . . While the stomach-turning story of BTK's crimes has been told by others, Douglas's unique professional experience and his exclusive personal access to Rader offers a different perspective, even as the answer to the question of how such a monster comes to be remains elusive.” —Publishers Weekly “Riveting! Douglas and Dodd have focused a laser sight on one of the most fascinating and disturbing serial killers of our time. Their in-depth analysis of BTK’s early childhood, his seemingly “normal” everyday life, and his shockingly well-hidden “other” life deftly explores the nature of evil and how we can better protect ourselves from such cunning predators.” ―Lisa Gardner, New York Times–bestselling suspense author of Hide

Download or read book Blink written by Malcolm Gladwell and published by Back Bay Books. This book was released on 2007-04-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the #1 bestselling author of The Bomber Mafia, the landmark book that has revolutionized the way we understand leadership and decision making. In his breakthrough bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant--in the blink of an eye--that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work--in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of "blink": the election of Warren Harding; "New Coke"; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police. Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing"--filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.
