Florida’s only doggie-yoga instructor takes on a new sideline in sleuthing in this “fun new addition to the pet cozy genre” (Booklist). Doggie-yogi Elle Pressley just wants to teach her classes at Pampered Pup Spa & Resort and save enough money to move out of her crazy mother’s house. Then the cuddly spirit of her late childhood dog, Angel, appears. As adorable as Angel is, Elle knows it’s a bad omen. Sure enough, the next day one of her wealthy clients is found dead in a mud bath. Celeste had her enemies—especially the woman who stole her husband. But the clues are leading to Dr. Ira Craft, the Botox king of Moon Key island, whose frantic wife Hope happens to be Elle’s best friend. Determined to clear Ira’s name, if only for Hope’s sake, Elle enlists the help of private investigator Devon Burke, whose Irish charm and devilish good looks make him easy to fall for. But someone is determined to stop Elle from uncovering the truth. And now that Devon’s involved, it’s not just Elle’s life that’s in danger. Her heart is too.

Poetry and the Police
Author: Robert Darnton
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674066049

Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Listen to "An Electronic Cabaret: Paris Street Songs, 1748Ð50" for songs from Poetry and the Police Audio recording copyright © 2010 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. In spring 1749, Franois Bonis, a medical student in Paris, found himself unexpectedly hauled off to the Bastille for distributing an Òabominable poem about the king.Ó So began the Affair of the Fourteen, a police crackdown on ordinary citizens for unauthorized poetry recitals. Why was the official response to these poems so intense? In this captivating book, Robert Darnton follows the poems as they passed through several media: copied on scraps of paper, dictated from one person to another, memorized and declaimed to an audience. But the most effective dispersal occurred through music, when poems were sung to familiar tunes. Lyrics often referred to current events or revealed popular attitudes toward the royal court. The songs provided a running commentary on public affairs, and Darnton brilliantly traces how the lyrics fit into song cycles that carried messages through the streets of Paris during a period of rising discontent. He uncovers a complex communication network, illuminating the way information circulated in a semi-literate society. This lucid and entertaining book reminds us of both the importance of oral exchanges in the history of communication and the power of ÒviralÓ networks long before our internet age.
