Summary

Retirement is the perfect time to travel the country, enjoy the grandkids—and solve some murders . . .   Retired robbery/homicide detective Hank Moran and his wife, Helen, are off on another adventure darting around the country in their motorhome. They’d like to make a stop in Amish country—just a little detour on their way to the White House, where they’ve been invited for dinner with the president as well as the senator whose life Hank recently saved.   But most of all they look forward to spending time with their grandson Chip, and taking him on a pleasant weekend fishing trip to a Louisiana state park. But Chip hooks into something a bit more interesting than a five-pound bass . . .

    Mark Twain is at his irreverent best with this hilarious parody of the 19th-century mystery. The tale begins with the murder of Flint Buckner and a heinous crime against a young woman. A man with special gifts - no less a personage than Sherlock Holmes! - Enters the scene to solve the mystery and avenge the lady. He matches wits with an improbable villain, Archy Stillman, while Ham Sandwich and Wells Fargo look on, and almost gets himself lynched in the process.

    In this follow up to her best-selling debut collection of poetry ("Enough Rope" from 1926) Dorothy Parker published "Sunset Gun" (1928) her second of three volumes of short verse. One of the 20th century's most celebrated and renowned humorists, Parker once again delivers a biting, satiric and insightful look at love, life and literature in this brilliant collection.  Dorothy Parker - social commentator, political reformer and legendary wit - has enjoyed a special place in American culture and "Sunset Gun" is another early example of Parker's unique and wry commentary on modern life. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

    Laugh with political humorist Gerald Gardner, as he takes an entertaining and probing look at how six American Presidents over three decades—             John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan—             deliberately and effectively employed humor to achieve their political goals. In a special live recording of his best-selling book, Gardner sounds remarkably like JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan, as he demonstrates how our Chief Executives have made strategic use of humor to win people over, to avoid sensitive issues, to defuse tense situations, and to deflect criticism. From the elegant wit of Kennedy to the genial joking of Reagan, you'll hear an insider's insights about the increasingly influential role humor plays in the political arena.
