Lt. Elliot Elliot, aka E Squared. A botched drug raid yanks him off the street and into a cubicle at the Pearson Institute of Health Sciences, where he’s reduced to hunting down stolen laptops. Then the ultimate insult: track down an escaped lab animal, a seventy-five-pound black Labrador retriever. But the dog turns out to be an extraordinary creature at the heart of an international collision between science, money, lust, and life itself. And as Elliot struggles to understand what’s going on, the dog must wage its own desperate battle for survival . Elliot encounters a trophy wife from his own past, a professional killer with a medieval bent, a comatose surgeon with a checkered history, and a billionaire locked in a frantic struggle to stay alive—all connected to a dog that guards a secret far deadlier than anyone can imagine.

In this “energetic” (Publishers Weekly) memoir, Victor Woods vividly recounts a trouble-filled and misunderstood coming-of-age in the suburbs of Chicago, the rollercoaster ride that led him to captain a multi-million dollar counterfeit scheme, and his life-changing stint in federal prison. In 1990, Victor Woods was charged by the US federal government with organizing a credit card scam worth more than forty million dollars. He refused to implicate his family and friends for a reduced sentence. His lawyer at the time remarked that he was “a breed apart.” In his authentic, matter-of-fact style, Woods shares the details of his evolution from a rebellious teen to a white-collar criminal and what inspired him to turn his life around while locked away as a federal inmate. Woods’s misdeeds and missteps remind us that sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. His remarkable turnaround shows us that no matter our past we can always make good on a second chance.Newly graduated veterinarian, Kira McGovern, must find a permanent job and residence within three months in order to adopt her orphaned infant niece.

The work involved raiding illegal distilleries, working undercover, chasing moonshine whiskey vehicles, investigating assaults on federal officers & numerous other aspects of law enforcement. From 1954 through 1964, ATF agents seized & destroyed 72,159 stills & 1,712,438 gallons of moonshine & arrested 71,266 violators. Twelve ATF agents were killed in the line of duty in this short ten-year period. Almost every agent in the southeast was injured, either by direct confrontation with liquor law violators or in their pursuit. It was a dangerous occupation. Improvisation is a unique & distinctive trait of the ATF agent. It sets him apart in that he has the latitude to make on-the-spot decisions & use initiative in apprehending criminals. ATF agents are "A BREED APART."Gathered here are many of the finest contemporary sporting writers: George Bird Evans, Charles Waterman, Gene Hill, Michael McIntosh, Jim Fergus, and many others.

This is the exciting & sometimes humorous true story of the formation & progression of ATF's air arm. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms pioneered the use of airplanes in the surveillance & trailing of violators of the law. AGENTS THAT FLY tells the true story of the early days of this endeavor. The initiative, determination & dedication of a few ATF agents & the backing of their supervisors, who were not afraid to take a chance for fear of making waves, made the air operation a tremendous success & one of the best investigative tools ever perfected by any law enforcement agency. The fact that ATF was the "red-headed stepchild" of federal law enforcement has never prevented its agents from living up to their potential.
