Smart-mouthed food writer and former hard-news reporter Trudi Wells makes her début in DOUBLE SHOT, a boxed set of two complete cozy culinary mystery novels. It includes: KNIFE SKILLS — When the most famous chef in town is murdered with a giant tranchelard cooking knife, novice food writer Trudi Wells uses her hard-news reporting skills to untangle a crooked web of hidden relationships. Smart-mouthed Trudi is definitely no foodie: she knows nothing about fine dining, surviving happily on peanut butter and breakfast cereal. As she uncovers mysterious details about the chef, she learns more than she ever imagined about Continental cuisine, fine wine and the high-end restaurant business. But just as Trudi is about to figure out the puzzle, the murderer starts looking for Trudi. MURDER & PESTLE — Trudi has a new career in the beautiful and mysterious city of Prague. Sure, she might not be speaking to her mother, and she might be dreaming about her new coworker more than she should, but Trudi still feels like she has grown up. Just like she planned, Trudi is gaining firsthand experience with Old World cuisine. But her plans are ruined when her elderly landlady dies in puzzling circumstances: Trudi is certain the old lady has been murdered, despite the police claiming it was an accident. No matter who comes after her, Trudi is determined to discover the truth of what really happened to the owner of Prague’s most famous spice shop.

An "engaging, humorous... and compelling story" of one couple's unexpected life with the "runt of the litter" puppy who grew to be the largest dog... ever (Publisher's Weekly). With his big blue eyes and soulful expression, George was the irresistible runt of the litter. But Dave and Christie Nasser's "baby" ended up being almost five feet tall, seven feet long, and 245 pounds. Eager to play, and boisterous to the point of causing chaos, this big Great Dane was scared of water, scared of dogs a fraction of his size and, most of all, scared of being alone. Giant George is the charming story of how this precocious puppy won Dave and Christie's hearts and along the way became a doggie superstar. In 2010, George was named by Guinness World Records as the Tallest Dog in the World-ever. He appeared on Oprah, and even has his own global fan club. But to Dave and Christie, this extraordinary animal is still their beloved pet, the one who has made them laugh, made them cry, and continues to make them incredibly happy.

This book transcends current debate on government regulation by lucidly outlining how regulations can be a fruitful combination of persuasion and sanctions. The regulation of business by the United States government is often ineffective despite being more adversarial in tone than in other nations. The authors draw on both empirical studies of regulation from around the world and modern game theory to illustrate innovative solutions to this problem. Their ideas include an argument for the empowerment of private and public interest groups in the regulatory process and a provocative discussion of how the government can support and encourage industry self-regulation.
