Are you one of the millions who has spent many pleasant hours reading aboutNero Wolfeconverting the calories from his gourmet dining (albeit grudgingly) into mental energy to solve a murder? If you have traipsed through that morass of neuroses, idiosyncrasies and obsessive-compulsive behaviors, you must have questions.Did you know that while Wolfe usually tilts the scales near one-seventh of a ton, he may once have weighed less than his svelte associate, Archie Goodwin? Or how many times the "unbreakable" rules of the house are broken? Or why Fritz speaks French although he's not from France? Or how many bullet and knife wounds Wolfe carries on his normally sedentary carcass? Or what Inspector Cramer's first name is? Or how the characters evolved over the four decades of their existence?This book will provide you with the answers to those questions and a thousand others. I hope you find it satisfactory.

Stout Fellow: A Guide Through Nero Wolfe's World

It's raw, profane, offensive, bizarre. It's not politically correct or warm and fuzzy. It's real.How did police officers do their jobs four decades ago during some of the nation's most turbulent and violent times?These aren't one-dimensional Hollywood characters. They're society's soldiers, real people cut from whole cloth. They try to help when they can, bristle when they're insulted, retaliate when they're attacked, bleed when they're injured, laugh when they're amused (sometimes inappropriately) and get ready for the next shift.Without bulletproof vests, portable radios and other equipment considered essential today, often riding alone, they developed a "One riot-one ranger" mentality by necessity. This book will put you beside some of them, sometimes inside their heads-om radio calls, both mundane and life-threatening, in interrogations, in hostage situations, undercover arrests, investigating burglaries, robberies, rapes and murders.These are the type of stories cops share with each other-stories of comedy, tragedy, chaos and the endless uniqueness of human behavior. These are some of the experiences that make them what they are, for better and worse. The experiences that forever change them, that set them apart from the rest of us, that make them a brotherhood closer than most brothers.

Ron Dunn (1936 - 2001) was an international itinerate Bible teacher whose life still inspires many of today's most influential pastors. In this new biography, fellow disciple Ron Owens writes to pass along the spirit and passion of this man who, from his mother's womb, was called to preach the Word of God. We learn this calling had to be worked out in the context of some of the highest peaks and deepest valleys a person can experience, from great success in ministry to the tragic suicide of Dunn's son and a ten-year battle with clinical depression that followed. Ultimately the grace of God expanded Dunn's ministry further, and this celebration of his life and mission includes special remembrances from Christian leaders, excerpts from his best-selling books, abridged versions of his most popular sermons, and notes from his wife Kaye.

B&H Books

This book leads you down the not-so-hallowed halls of law enforcement of four decades ago. It gives you an extra set of eyes and ears in the roll call lineups, in the patrol cars and detective cruisers, on the radio calls, in the streets and in the interview rooms, in the chases, arrests, gunfights, fist fights, hostage situations, and investigations-not on a movie set but the real thing. You experience the sights, the sounds, the smells of a cop's days and nights. You hear their words and those of the victims, witnesses and suspects when they're not reading from a screenwriter's script or posturing for the cameras of a "reality" show. It is populated not with fictional creations but real characters, by every definition of those words. The events, emotions and language are all served raw-no dressing, no garnish. The rookie's enthusiasm and optimism, the experienced veteran's cynicism, the boredom of routine, the thrill of the pursuit, the satisfaction of a job well done, the frustration when events go bad, the anger, the hilarity, the dark and irreverent sense of humor, all pathways to the Ph. D. in Human Nature every street cop receives in a big city.
