Title: The Rule of Law Pdf A Novel (Dismas Hardy Book 18)

In “master of the legal thriller” (Chicago Sun-Times) John Lescroart’s electrifying new novel, attorney Dismas Hardy is called to defend the least likely suspect of his career: his longtime, trusted assistant who is suddenly being charged as an accessory to murder.

Dismas Hardy knows something is amiss with his trusted secretary, Phyllis. Her out-of-character behavior and sudden disappearances concern Hardy, especially when he learns that her convict brother—a man who had served twenty-five years in prison for armed robbery and attempted murder—has just been released.

Things take a shocking turn when Phyllis is suddenly arrested at work for allegedly being an accessory to the murder of Hector Valdez, a coyote who’d been smuggling women into this country from El Salvador and Mexico. That is, until recently, when he was shot to death—on the very same day that Phyllis first disappeared from work. The connection between Phyllis, her brother, and Hector’s murder is not something Dismas can easily understand, but if his cherished colleague has any chance of going free, he needs to put all the pieces together—and fast.

Proving that he is truly “one of the best thriller writers to come down the pike” (USA TODAY), John Lescroart crafts yet another whip-smart, engrossing novel filled with shocking twists and turns that will keep you on your toes until the very last page.

where did lescroart go ? i had relegated the previous lescoart novel to the junk heap. i had hoped thay was a one-off . unfortunately less than half way through this one it appears not to be the case. it reads like amateur hour; lame narrative, lame dialogue; caricature characters and silly plot . i dont know where lescroart went but its the end of the road for me .Not for me I've liked other Hardy books, but this one was not for me. A mix of a decent criminal story and too much political opinion. The author says he wanted to tie up loose ends for the cast of characters. There was a lot of that and it kept getting in the way of the story. Disappointing.Not worth the time I have read every book by lescroart.this the first book that I did not give 5 stars.next book leave the bay area political b.s.home.

One Taste Too Many (A Sarah Blair Mystery Book 1) Free Pdf

Title: One Taste Too Many (A Sarah Blair Mystery Book 1) Pdf

For culinary challenged Sarah Blair, there’s only one thing scarier than cooking from scratch—murder!
 
Married at eighteen, divorced at twenty‑eight, Sarah Blair reluctantly swaps her luxury lifestyle for a cramped studio apartment and a law firm receptionist job in the tired hometown she never left. With nothing much to show for the last decade but her feisty Siamese cat, RahRah, and some clumsy domestic skills, she’s the polar opposite of her bubbly twin, Emily—an ambitious chef determined to take her culinary ambitions to the top at a local gourmet restaurant . . .
 
Sarah knew starting over would be messy. But things fall apart completely when her ex drops dead, seemingly poisoned by Emily’s award-winning rhubarb crisp. Now, with RahRah wanted by the woman who broke up her marriage and Emily wanted by the police for murder, Sarah needs to figure out the right recipe to crack the case before time runs out. Unfortunately, for a gal whose idea of good china is floral paper plates, catching the real killer and living to tell about it could mean facing a fate worse than death—being in the kitchen!
 
 Includes quick and easy recipes!

Fun start to a new series This is the first installment in the Sarah Blair series. She is working at a law office and living with her beloved Siamese cat, RahRah. When Sarah's twin sister Emily returns home, Emily takes a chef's job and is immediately suspected of killing her former brother-in-law, Sarah's ex-husband Bill. Emily and her co-workers are in a food competition at the exposition center. Just as Sarah's boss is working to get Emily cleared of Bill's suspicious death, Emily finds herself at the center of a homicide. Meanwhile, Bill's new will brings more problems for Sarah as his new girlfriend supposedly has a legal claim to RahRah. Who can she trust? Will trusting the wrong person leave her the killer's next victim?The setting was a fresh twist on the usual restaurant setting for a food cozy. The book was well-written and the plot had surprising twists, especially towards the very end. The pacing was a bit off for me about a third of the way through but I am glad I continued on because it picked back up nicely. I usually have some idea of the killer's identity but this one was a huge surprise. I really loved RahRah; the cat had such a presence throughout the book. I could also empathize with Sarah's heartbreak at the possibility of having to lose him due to legal wrangling; I went over six months without seeing my now deceased cats while my ex-husband stalled in court and kept "the boys" from me. I look forward to seeing where this series goes in the next installment.Thanks to the author and the Cozy Mystery Review Crew for a complimentary copy of this book. My review is voluntary.A Delicious Puzzle of a Mystery Sarah Blair signs on to help her sister Emily, an ambitious chef, at a trade show featuring food booths and cooking demonstrations. The competition heats up when Sarah’s ex-spouse drops dead after eating a spoonful of her sister’s signature rhubarb crisp. Other evidence seemingly points Emily’s way, and when she’s arrested for murder, Sarah goes into full sleuth mode to find the real killer. A restaurant’s reputation is at stake, and so is her sister’s life. Sarah can’t trust anyone on their team and least of all, her own cooking skills. Can she muddle along well enough to catch the murderer before she ends up next on his lethal menu? A shifty group of suspects in a fun food expo setting will keep readers guessing. With all the twists and turns, I didn’t foresee the surprise at the end. Clever, witty, and delicious!Murder at a food exposition How do you feel about rhubarb? Sarah Blair's ex hated it and yet he was found dead with rhubarb on the fork in his hand. That's the start to a twist on culinary mysteries, one that involves a food exposition, an upscale restaurant, urban development, one special cat, and a heroine who is a disaster in the kitchen. Sarah's twin, Emily, however is a trained chef, magic in the kitchen, and when she's accused of murder, Sarah is so anxious to defend her that she even gives a cooking demonstration. Jell-O and pineapple, anyone? Deaths and near-misses continue and red herrings abound. You'll never suspect who the villain is until the last-minute revelation. Well done, fun to read.

The Real Estate Game Free Pdf

ISBN: 068485550X
Title: The Real Estate Game Pdf The Intelligent Guide To Decisionmaking And Investment
Author: William J Poorvu
Published Date: 1999-09-13
Page: 322

Real estate is as much about people as it is about property, and, after location, success in real estate depends upon understanding the motives of those who play the game, because many critical decisions revolve around what real estate people think, how they act and why. The Real Estate Game, by William J. Poorvu and Jeffrey L. Cruikshank, is a clear, comprehensive overview illustrated with real-life experiences about individual investors, small developers, and moguls. Poorvu has developed and managed real estate and taught real estate investing at the Harvard Business School for over 35 years. This book is drawn from his course, and is designed to help investors make the right decisions derived from the right assumptions and to provide an insider's perspective on how to spot risks and develop strategies that provide protection and adequate investment returns. The book uses the analogy of a game to illustrate some of the intricate and unpredictable interactions in real estate deals, and it lays out the rules of the game, including identification of the key players and periods of play: concept, commitment, development, operation, reward, and reinvestment. Readers are taught to be "value investors," ready to buy at the right price at the right time, because the best opportunities come from buying at a discount-to-replacement cost. The value investor must be prepared to sell at the right juncture, and must not be compelled to be in the game when conditions make the game not worth playing. The case studies that run through the book show how to evaluate, develop, and operate all kinds of real estate investments from the points of view of all involved in the process. There's an extensive appendix covering the different property types, and the authors' "back-of-the-envelope" method for analyzing the financial implications of a potential deal is probably worth the book's weight in gold. --Scott Harrison Poorvu is a Boston real-estate developer who teaches an elective course in real estate at the Harvard Business School. Like his earlier collection of case studies, The Real Estate Challenge (1996), this new book comprises course material. To emphasize the competitive aspects of real estate, Poorvu compares the business to a game. With an informal style, he outlines the components that determine the rules of this game: capital markets, the players, properties, and the external environment. After explaining the basic financial analyses necessary to make decisions, Poorvu contrasts four ways to invest in real estate: buying property directly, investing in private syndications, multiproperty funds, and public real-estate securities. He also compares the more challenging development phase of real estate with the nuts-and-bolts aspects of the operations phase. Finally, he recommends how and when to "harvest" or recoup value that has been added to a deal. Grounded in theory and practice, Poorvu's advice stands out in a category filled with superficial, get-rich-quick guides. David Rouse

The Real Estate Game is a comprehensive guide to successful real estate investment from one of the masters in the field. Drawing upon four decades of experience developing, owning, and managing properties and on almost thirty years of teaching at the Harvard Business School, William J. Poorvu offers an insider's perspective on how to make smart decisions about real estate.

The real estate “game” is played by people, and it’s the stories of real people that make Poorvu’s introduction to the industry colorful and interesting. You will meet players ranging from real estate moguls to small-scale developers to individual investors in exotic investment instruments. Their stories evolve throughout the book and illustrate how these people—with all their complicated needs, talents, and motives—fit into the larger process and context.

In clear and nontechnical language, Poorvu explains how variables—players, properties, capital markets, and the external environment—come together to influence the shape and outcome of a real estate deal. He explains the time frame for different kinds of real estate investments and walks the reader through the key “periods of play” in the real estate game: concept, commitment, development, operation, reward, and reinvestment.

The Real Estate Game introduces a simple but powerful “back-of-the-envelope” technique for analyzing the financial implications of a potential deal. Using this tool and others, Poorvu shows readers how to use direct investments, syndicates, and REITs to get into the real estate game across a broad range of property types: residential, office, hotel, industrial, and retail.

Offering unique insight into the ways that developers and investors can create value, The Real Estate Game is both a perfect introduction for the novice and an invaluable overview for the experienced professional.

Five Stars This is the best real estate book for a novice investor. I truly enjoy reading this book.Great real estate book that is thorough on many different ...
