Blood Sweat and Bullets

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

In the heart of New York City, a notorious drug gang known as the Wild Cowboys held the city in its iron grip, spreading fear and despair wherever they went. But a beacon of hope emerged in the form of the Homicide Investigation Unit (HIU), a group of seasoned detectives determined to bring down the gang and restore peace to the city.

Led by the brilliant and unorthodox Walter Arsenault, the HIU embarked on a relentless pursuit of justice, facing danger and adversity at every turn. The Wild Cowboys were a formidable foe, with a network of informants and a ruthless determination to protect their turf. But the HIU detectives refused to be deterred. They delved deep into the gang's operations, gathering intelligence, building cases, and forming alliances with those who dared to stand against the Wild Cowboys.

As the investigation progressed, the HIU uncovered a web of corruption that extended far beyond the gang's own ranks. Politicians, law enforcement officials, and even members of the community were implicated, all benefiting from the Wild Cowboys' illicit activities. The HIU found themselves fighting not only against the gang but also against a system that seemed determined to protect it.

Yet, amidst the darkness, the HIU's unwavering commitment to justice shone through. They refused to be silenced, even when their lives were on the line. They fought for the voiceless, for the victims who had suffered at the hands of the Wild Cowboys. And slowly but surely, they began to turn the tide.

Blood, Sweat, and Bullets is a gripping narrative that reads like a crime thriller, telling the story of the HIU's relentless pursuit of justice and the ultimate downfall of the Wild Cowboys. It is a tale of courage, determination, and the power of ordinary people to make a difference in the face of overwhelming odds.

This book is a must-read for fans of true crime, law enforcement stories, and tales of triumph over adversity. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

Five American Women Rebels: The...

Editors Charles River

For much of American history, women were second-class citizens in the sense they could not vote or run for office and had few property rights. However, women were often able to overcome social restrictions and forcefully affect the world around them, sometimes nationally. This took a real force of character, determination, and sometimes bravery. 
	Women were discouraged from becoming involved in politics, and the majority of American men thought women belonged in the home. As the 1800s progressed, American women became more and more significant in changing their country for the better. This meant that women gravitated toward causes society thought were appropriate for women, which were those merging family issues and Christianity, both of which allowed women to organize and form local and national organizations. Women active in these causes were not subject to censure. 
	The most important cause allowing women to overcome Victorian expectations of being ladylike was temperance, which eventually resulted in the Prohibition era. Prohibition had several elements, but it was focused on pushing for making the manufacture, sale, and possession of alcohol illegal and convincing individuals to swear off alcohol.

Uses for Obsession - A Chef's...

Ben Shewry

An intimate, searing and hopeful memoir meets manifesto that reframes the way we think about restaurants, cooking, hospitality, leadership and humanity from one of the most respected chefs in the world.

Chef and restaurateur Ben Shewry knows obsession well. Whether it's crispy-edged lasagne, saltwater crocodile ribs or the perfect potato, obsession is what motivates him and what makes him tick. It's also what has propelled his Melbourne restaurant Attica into the league of the most innovative, acclaimed dining experiences in the world, and one of the most vital in Australian history.

In this absorbing and wide-ranging memoir meets manifesto, Shewry applies his sometimes searing, sometimes comic eye to creative freedom in the kitchen, food journalism, sexism in hospitality, the fraud of the farm-to-table sustainability ethos, the cult of the chef, cooking as muse and the legendary Family Bolognese.

Raised on a farm in a close-knit rural New Zealand family, he shares how a childhood surrounded by nature and a reverence for First People's cultures has influenced his work, the values he lives by, and the meticulous, inventive multi-course menu that is synonymous with Attica. Uses for Obsession also tells the intimate, desperate story of how Attica survived 262 days with an empty dining room. How, during a time of epic hospitality transformation, it morphed into a takeaway food business, a merch shop and a summer camp. He was told it couldn't be done and that doubt both tortured and drove him.

At its heart, this is a positive story, an antidote to the macho chef culture that thrives on old ideas about leadership and success. Shewry prosecutes the compelling case for a new way forward. A bold blueprint for the restaurant - and workplace - of the future. One built on kindness, community, truth and a commitment to never giving up.
