Murder of the Sheriff

Jim Riley

Sinossi

When the Sheriff of West Feliciana Parish is found murdered in his own jail, Niki Dupre is called in to investigate.
 
Soon, Niki learns that a local chapter of the infamous MS-13 gang is responsible. But they are hired thugs; gangs do not kill sheriffs without getting paid.
 
The more Niki delves into the murder, the more entangled she gets with the local gang and their leader, Juan Valdez. And he doesn't play by the rules.

Odell Buckenflush Chronicles 3...

Steve Spencer

The Odell Buckenflush Chronicles are river tales gathered from a career in outdoor education. Experiential learning is combined with humor to highlight environmental impacts and consequences. While the tales are humorous, each carries a lesson for those exploring the outdoors.
These stories serve as fun examples for outdoor leaders, teachers, camp counselors, and resource managers, making the book both educational and entertaining. After all, outdoor educators specialize in “edutainment.”
In the Chronicles, decisions must be made, leading to consequences and lessons. As Paul Petzoldt noted, people often need help understanding experiences to avoid repeating mistakes. These tales offer many examples of “what just happened.”
While not a deep dive into learning theory, the book shows different learning styles. As humorist Will Rogers said, “There are three kinds of people: those who learn by reading, those who learn by observation, and those who have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.” Odell does the “peeing”—you just enjoy the stories!
Each of the five volumes follows the same structure, featuring forty-eight tales across four chapters:Inventions and AchievementsFamily ConnectionsRescue and SurvivalPhilosophy and Life
At the end of each tale, a “Tale of the Tale” section explains the real-life inspiration.
A Glossary of River Terms adds both accuracy and humor. Multiple appendices cross-reference:Rivers and locationsPreviously published talesOutdoor experience subjectsBuckenflush characters
Dr. Odell Buckenflush isn’t one real person, but a blend of real folks, imagination, and folklore. You might even recognize yourself in these adventures.

Esq. Brian Felgoise, David Tabatsky

In Due Time begins outside a Philadelphia courthouse when Ryan Coleman is kidnapped and delivered to a luxury yacht off the coast of Florida, where his billionaire mentor, Randy Hollis, has decided that Ryan will become his one and only heir to his legacy and fortune. Ryan thinks he has been framed him for the death of Lisa O, the world’s number one escort, despite his plan to save Hollis and himself from being disbarred and going to prison. This turn of events sends Coleman into a frenzy as he navigates his sudden rise to power while discovering that his best friend and wife are shacking up together. When tragedy strikes, Coleman is suddenly left to his own devices and must choose his path forward. Will he take the advice of his mother and a newly rekindled love story, or turn to the dark side as he witnessed with several masters of the universe in his orbit? While Ryan Coleman was once thought by everyone to be naïve and in over his head, easy to manipulate and even frame, in Book Two he becomes the rainmaker, at least until the end, when he ends up right back where he started.
