An inheritance at risk and the discovery of an extraordinary cache
of old wines during Nashville's history-making flood leads to foul
play and death in this Mark Rollins mystery adventure. The old man
finished a glass of wine-his favorite claret-went to bed, and died.
Now more than fifty years later, a stunningly beautiful Nashville
attorney, Ann Sims, is preparing to auction off his estate-a
derelict old mansion with its long-forgotten secret. Sims has lived
with a secret of her own, a secret that could cost her the fortune
she is in line to inherit and end her career. Beautiful women can
make poor choices in men. She is no exception. Afraid, for good
reason, of the possessive and greedy men in her life, she turns to
Mark Rollins for protection. Rollins, the central character in
Collins' mysteries, is a modern-day hero-a protector, problem
solver, and crime fighter. His "superhero-like" powers are
technology, extraordinary wealth, and friends in high places. This
time his technology is failing him as he tries to keep Ann Sims
alive-his efforts thwarted by Nashville's failing infrastructure in
the wake of the massive storm and flood that provides cover for bad
things.
Mark Rollins, a retired technology entrepreneur, has become the
creator/owner of an exclusive fitness center catering to young
trophy wives and socially elite wealthy women of Nashville. In Mark
Rollins and the Rainmaker, the second book in the series, someone
is trying to kill the husband of a fitness club member. Her much
older husband is a prominent Nashville attorney the rainmaker for
his law firm. Rollins sets out to unmask the villain before it is
too late a task that proves dangerous, and the danger spreads as
the diabolical killer 's targets expand. To pick up the killer 's
trail, Rollins and his colorful MBA sidekick, Mariko Lee, pose as
financial consultants hired by the law firm. Mariko discovers that
the seeds causing many law firms to self-destruct and that in this
case provide a motive for murder can be found in the numbers. As
they close in on the villain 's identity, Rollins and his team race
against the clock to unravel the killer 's final desperate plan.
The Workplace Family: A Framework For Getting The Best From Your
Employees by Tom Collins: Getting the best performance from
employees is the key to success of any manager. Of all the
motivational tools, both classic and newer fad approaches,

positive informal values that characterize a family can create this
family spirit. In this book the author defines the values that are
most effective in stimulating feelings of family and describes how
to instill them in your organization.
The most direct route to my sylvan destination was along one of the
main streets; but, for reasons of my own, I dodged round by the
back slums. Frankly, it is not a bit nice for a man of position to
walk down a respectable thoroughfare, nodding to his acquaintances
with dignified composure, when a backward glance has disclosed his
kangaroo dog dawdling along at his heels, lithe, svelte and
spirituelle, with about ten pounds of stolen sausages hanging
festooned from his mouth, and tripping him up from time to time.
But Pup couldn't eat the sausages without stopping; so, when we
reached the outskirts of the town, I took them from him, and,
sitting down on a stump, cut the isthmuses with my knife, in order
to help him to them one by one. Then, after a mutual caress, we
resumed our way to the romantic nook that I wotted of.

A really good man died Sunday night in Nashville's notorious
Printers Alley. According to the newspaper account, it was a case
of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. A drunken reveler
with a gun had fired his weapon indiscriminately, ending the life
of Tennessee's likely next governor and perhaps a future President
of the United States. Mark Rollins wasn't ready to buy it. The dead
man, Harold T. Lansden, Esq., was more than just a prominent lawyer
and rising political figure. He was a friend, and he had called
Rollins the night before his death to ask for Mark's help with a
problem of some kind. Lansden was killed before the two could meet
to discuss the details. Was Lansden's death as it seemed on the
surface or was it premeditated murder and, if so, by whom and why?
Rollins' search for answers yields a plethora of avenues that could
have led someone to commit murder. As for who did it, there is no
shortage of candidates.
Mark Rollins has sold the technology company he founded to a large
multinational corporation. The transaction left him with more money
than he can ever spend, a large empty office building, and far too
much time on his hands. He repurposed the building into an
exclusive fitness club for socially elite, wealthy women of
Nashville, Tennessee. Against the backdrop of daily life in the
fitness club, sixty-six year old Rollins becomes a father figure to
club members who turn to him when they have a problem. When a club
member's husband is reported missing from his upscale Nashville
home in the old-moneyed community of Belle Meade, Rollins sets out
to solve the mystery exposing himself and his family to unexpected
danger from organized criminal enterprises. Rollins, with the aid
of his loyal team of computer experts, uses his money and friends
in high places to unravel the mystery and protect those close to
him.

former undercover informant to the British police on the activities
of the IRA. Set in Belfast in the late 1980s, the film shows how
McGartland led a double life for four years while still in his

friends and family, until his cover was blown in 1991 and he was
kidnapped and tortured by the IRA. Ben Kingsley co-stars as Fergus,
McGartland's British 'handler'.
