  Throughout the ages and across the political spectrum, there's always been a place for the dishonourable insult. It doesn't take much for the civilised veneer to crack and a wealth of spleen, invective and innuendo to pour forth. It may not change the course of history, but being skewered in public has sounded the death knell of many a stellar career. In these pages you can revel in more than one hundred years of political venom. From Churchill to Cameron, Balfour to Brown, Curzon to Clegg, Douglas Home to Duncan Smith, Healey to Howard, Macaulay to Milliband, Greg Knight has once again compiled a witty collection of barbes that will provide amusement and a delightful source of reference for anyone searching for the ultimate put-down.

  It's all in a day's work for Tara Holloway, the U.S. Treasury's latest, greatest, soon-to-be-skinniest weapon against the biggest, richest tax cheats in the nation . . . 
  When she joined the Criminal Investigations Division, Tara knew she'd be investigating some very real crooks. Forget about waitresses hiding tips from the IRS or babysitters not declaring income! Tara and her partner, Eddie, are going after one of country's richest, dirtiest felons. Being on a diet doesn't help Tara's mood much. Hopefully, by the time the investigation is over, she'll be sitting somewhere in a string bikini, far, far away . . . 
  But first: Reality. Marcos Mendoza is a suspected loan shark with connections across the Mexican border. He's never been accused of any crimes, yet his business associates have a history of disappearing . . . and resurfacing . . . in body bags. Will Tara risk life, limb, and the pursuit of filing a joint tax return with her maybe-serious boyfriend Brett? Fighting crime, like drinking a cup of coffee with low-fat milk and artificial sweetener, is often bittersweet . . .
