This is absolutely not an inspirational story of a tough and idealistic teacher who reaches the hearts and minds of poor children who go on to fulfill their destinies as productive, law abiding adults. It's the story of a broken system that has created the vocational school with the sole purpose ...

Rating: 3* of fiveThe Book Description: "Carmine Ganucci was a retired soft drinks magnate with a nice estate in Larchmont and influence in, well, certain circles.

Niektóre opowiadania lepsze, niektóre gorsze, ale ogólnie książka moim zdaniem słaba. Trochę mało realistyczne, ale niektóre potrafią wciągnąć. Chociaż nie przepadam za krótkimi, kryminalnymi opowiadaniami.
This is the most genius crime novel I've read so far...once started this book, you can't stop reading it because of the curiosity who really is the killer. So many people involved in the case and you will be confused who among the witnesses are telling the truth but Matthew Hope somehow managed to ...
This is a book in two parts with two authors. The first part by Evan Hunter is awful and I wouldn't read another Evan Hunter novel. Ben Thorpe, a traveling architect, is a psychotic/neurotic (not sure which one) who is a raving sex fiend. In every city he travels to, he has a girl or two (or thre...
Evan Hunter (The Blackboard Jungle) and Ed McBain (The 87th Precinct police procedurals) are one and the same, so it’s perhaps unusual that the two would collaborate on this compulsive novel of obsession. Writing as Hunter (his real name) the first part follows Benjamin Thorpe, a successful Lo...
A pretty damn definitive collection on the subject--working so hard to include all the greats that an unpublished screen test written by Spillane is in there, because he didn't do short stories. The lesser-known hidden gems are also definitely worth your time.
