Who? Who out of all the men in her past could have hated Frieda enough to kill? With which one had she been the impetuous-and the dangerous-mistress?

The Big Gamble It had started out as a normal weekend for Kent Murdock. A drive to the coast, a late dinner, a round of golf in the morning. But when he's stopped for a traffic accident, his instincts kick in and he takes pictures. Nothing out of the ordinary for a newspaper photographer. That is until his car is stolen, the film goes missing, and he stumbles upon a dead blonde in the cabin next to his. Written by one of Black Mask's stable of writers during its heyday, The Big Gamble is hard-boiled fiction at its best.

Flash Casey snaps a photo that holds the key to a corrupt lawyer's murder Casey shouldn't have had to go back for more pictures of Stanford Endicott. He was at the court with the other newspaper photographers when the wealthy lawyer was arraigned, and got pictures of him smiling as he put on a hat to hide his bald head. But before Casey can get the negatives developed, a pair of urchins steal his camera case and expose the plates to the sun. At his editor's orders, Casey visits Endicott's office for another round of photos. The picture he takes there is altogether more interesting: Stanford Endicott, dead on his office floor. Casey hears a sound in the next room and knows the murderer is close. He gives chase out the front door, and takes a picture just as the killer drives away. Suddenly, Flash Casey has a bigger story than he bargained for. "An exciting, rapid-fire story of the sort for which George Harmon Coxe is well known." -The New York Times " Coxe is] among the superior writers of mystery fiction." -Rochester Journal "Coxe's heroes are people who stick up for each other, easily inspire trust and confidence, and who are maybe just a little bit soft at heart." -Mystery Fancier George Harmon Coxe (1901-1984) was an early star of hard-boiled crime fiction, best known for characters he created in the seminal pulp magazine Black Mask. Born in upstate New York, he attended Purdue and Cornell Universities before moving to the West Coast to work in newspapers. In 1922 he began publishing short stories in pulp magazines across various genres, including romance and sports. He would find his greatest success, however, writing crime fiction. In 1934 Coxe, relying on his background in journalism, created his most enduring character: Jack "Flashgun" Casey, a crime photographer. First appearing in "Return Engagement," a Black Mask short, Casey found success on every platform, including radio, television, and film. Coxe's other well-known characters include Kent Murdock, another photographer, and Jack Fenner, a PI. Always more interested in character development than a clever plot twist, Coxe was at home in novel-writing, producing sixty-three books in his lifetime. Made a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America in 1964, Coxe died in 1984.

This is an attempt by two old men to be the they in the universal cry of Why don't they do something. It is a non fiction history of the deplorable tax history of the US. It outlines a plan to get rid of hundreds, if not thousands, of current tax plans by replacing them with a fairer, simpler less costly and smaller number of less than 10.
