"A harrowing thriller exploring the darker depths of Beverly Hills …
US Treasury Agents Charlie Carr and Jack Kelly are investigating a counterfeiting ring when cool and ruthless LA Detective Travis Bailey warns them of a plot to murder their prime witness. Unwittingly, they are involved in a phony stake out in which Kelly is seriously wounded. Deeply suspicious and determined to avenge his partner, Carr puts his life and career on the line in order to build a case against Bailey, and sets out to prove that he is the mastermind behind a series of robberies from the area's wealthy residents. Carr's mission draws him into the depths of moneyed Beverly Hills, as well as into the underworlds of have-nots, hungry for a piece of the Rolls Royce action.
To Die in Beverly Hills is an original and harrowing thriller where Gerald Petievich once again successfully demonstrates both his talent for convincing characterization and his inside knowledge of the U.S. Secret Service Treasury Department."

He certainly never expected to run into Emery Quinn, the girl who captured his heart sixteen summers ago.

"A freewheeling memoir of baseball, journalism, and New York spanning over 50 years of America's pastime
Before he'd covered dozens of World Series; before he'd written about countless hirings, firings, superstars, and scandals, Bill Madden was a cub reporter on one of his first assignments at Yankee Stadium—and manager Ralph Houk had just gone out of his way to spit tobacco juice all over Madden's shoes. “That’s Ralph’s way with rookie writers he doesn’t recognize,” came the explanation. “He doesn’t mean anything by it.”
So began a Hall of Fame scribe's career, as detailed in this clear-eyed memoir. With verve and candor, Madden reflects on five decades of triumphs, misadventures, and unforgettable characters.
From Jackie Robinson to Aaron Judge; from newsrooms filled with hundreds of teletype machines droning like an army of cicadas to the sleek yet ruthless digital age, keen baseball fans will devour these tales of America's pastime against the backdrop of a rapidly changing media and cultural landscape."

"Wanted: one bride for marriage to billionaire heir at New Year’s Eve wedding. Submit resume and photo to INEEDAWIFE@wannamarryabillionaire.com
ARCHIMEDES
All I want is to be CEO at Warren Enterprises Worldwide, but the newly revised Warren Trust makes it clear …
I won’t inherit the company or the family fortune unless I’m hitched before the first of the year.
Too bad I don’t have a girlfriend or fiancée.
What I do have is charm, dashing good looks, a prestigious lineage, an email address, and a faithful assistant willing to help me sort through all the applicants.
But the longer we spend weeding out the duds, the more I appreciate the woman in front of me.
Too bad Blaire doesn’t fit the requirements for a Warren bride.
And one way or another, this New Year’s Eve, I’ll be kissing my wife at the stroke of midnight.
BLAIRE
Helping my hot boss find a bride isn’t really part of my job description.
It’s busy enough around the office during the holidays without having to comb through applications from vapid bimbos who only want the Warren money.
But Archie needs my help, and I’m hopeless to deny him when he flashes me that panty-melting grin and sings my praises.
He says I’m invaluable.
As an employee … or more?
Because with every moment we spend together planning his loveless New Year’s Eve wedding, my heart inches closer to falling in love with him.
Holiday miracles are the things of fairy tales, but this New Year’s Eve, one might be found in the place they least expect it."
"What if everything you know about pain is wrong?
For starters, pain is not synonymous with being “injured.” It’s also not evidence that your biomechanics are “flawed” or your body is “imbalanced.” And most important, pain doesn’t always mean you have to see a doctor.
In Pain & Performance, Ryan Whited and Matt Fitzgerald present a radically new way for athletes to understand and manage pain that exposes the shocking lack of evidence for modern medicine’s approach to pain and injury management. Based on many years of research and a greater appreciation of the complexity of pain as a lived experience, Whited’s revolutionary “Training as Treatment” method puts you in control of your pain experience as you build mental and physical resilience.
Learning this simple, three-step process will start you on a path to better performance and a more fulfilling athletic journey with less downtime, fewer visits to clinicians, less anxiety about pain and injury, and less time and money wasted on treatments that don’t work.
An elite boulderer and son of a chronically injured professional horse jockey, Whited brings a pragmatic approach to a complex process. As a trainer, he has spent decades guiding athletes from breakdowns to breakthroughs at Paragon Athletics, a magnet for pain-affected runners, climbers, and recreational athletes who’ve grown frustrated with the medical system. Pain & Performance makes Whited’s unparalleled knowledge of pain science and physiology available to anyone seeking to stay out of the doctor’s office and on track toward their goals.
'Training as Treatment is a fresh and innovative approach to understanding and working with pain rather than against it. By helping athletes face fear and reframe pain, Ryan Whited facilitates a shift in mindset that fosters a healthy, lifelong relationship to sport and performance.”—Rob Krar, coach and ultrarunning champion
This audiobook contains a supplemental PDF with a Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and a link to video demonstrations of exercises to get started on a Training as Treatment plan."
"A STEP-BY-STEP PROGRAM TO CREATE A MORE PRIVATE AND EGALITARIAN DIGITAL WORLD
Taking Privacy Seriously offers both a hard-hitting assessment of the origins of today’s privacy-eroding practices and a robust road map for creating individual authority over our personal data. James B. Rule proposes eleven key reforms in the control and use of personal information—including far-reaching new rights for individuals and meaningful responsibilities for data-keeping organizations—all aimed at redressing the balance of power between ordinary citizens and data hungry corporate and government institutions.
What a privacy-deprived America needs most is not less technology, Rule argues, but profound political realignment. His proposed reforms include the creation of websites that publicly document what organizations are holding what forms of personal data; the establishment of a right for citizens to withdraw from personal data systems not required by law; and the institution of a universal property right over commercial exploitation of data on oneself—so that no organization could profit from the use or sale of such data without permission. Succinct and compelling, Taking Privacy Seriously explains how we can refashion information technologies so that they serve human needs, not the other way around.
“This book is direct, impatient (in the best way possible), and urgent. It doesn’t waste time summarizing all the things we already know about privacy in theUnited States, but instead asks, What is to be done? We need a book like this.”—David Murakami Wood, Professor, Department of Criminology, University of Ottawa"
"A CELEBRATION OF TWO DECADES OF SPORTS SUCCESS IN BOSTON
FROM THE COHOST OF THE #1 SPORTS RADIO SHOW IN NEW ENGLAND
In Boston, sports loyalty—and passion—runs deep. But for much of the twentieth
century, the records of the Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots were mixed, with
some victories but also heartbreaking losses and endless talk of curses. And then,
things changed. In the twenty-first century, Boston became the hub of the sports
universe. This Is Our City, by longtime Boston sports columnist and radio host
Tony Massarotti, is a portrait of the past two decades, a chronicle of players and
rivalries and how one team’s success led to the next. From Brady and Belichick to
the Celtics’ Big Three, from Big Papi to the Big Bad Bruins, this was a special time.
And Boston’s run played out against major events, including 9/11 and the
devastating Boston Marathon bombing, adding emotional punch to tough losses
and all those victories. Massarotti’s This Is Our City is a valentine to Boston sports
and a comprehensive story of a remarkable run."
"For the past five years, FBI Special Agent Risa Jacobs has worked in the violent crimes against children division of the Houston FBI. She’s never had reason to believe there’s a target on her back … until now.
When the long-awaited reunion between Risa and her brother, Trenton, ends in tragedy, Risa is riddled with guilt, unable to cope with the responsibility she feels over his death. On leave from the FBI, Risa returns to her former career as an English teacher at a local college, only to
see her past and present collide when one of her students, Carson Mercury, turns in an assignment that reads like an eyewitness account of her brother’s murder, with details never revealed publicly.
Alarmed by Carson’s inside knowledge of Trenton’s death, Risa reaches out to her former partner at the FBI. Special Agent Gage Patterson has been working a string of baby kidnappings, but he agrees to help look into Carson’s background. Risa and Gage soon discover their cases
might be connected as a series of high-value thefts have occurred at properties where security systems were installed by Carson’s stepfather and children have gone missing. There’s a far more sinister plot at play than they ever imagined, and innocent lives are in danger."

"From basic tenets of training to nutrition guidelines, this is the first resource for runners to fully integrate nutrition with training for a complete and systematic pre-race plan. “A must for marathoners”(Library Journal).
Every year, roughly 2 million people participate in marathons and half marathons in the United States, and, no matter what level they are, every one of these runners has likely hit “The Wall,” running out of muscle fuel in the final miles and slowing down precipitously. This setback and
other common running disappointments are nutritional (or metabolic) in nature. In The New Rules, renowned fitness journalist and training coach Matt Fitzgerald cuts through the myths, distilling the most up-to-date science to help runners overcome the universally experienced nutritional
barriers that prevent success in the marathon and half marathon.
Fitzgerald’s powerful and easy-to-use tools will enable runners of all levels to attain their ideal racing weight, calculate their precise daily energy needs, and formulate a custom nutrition plan.
