But Jacqui has more pressing problems. Her best friend is dying, she has a missing-persons case that she can't seem to solve, and her teenage sister-in-law is out of control. When her lawyer blackmails her for the enormous amount she owes him, Jacqui does something no one would ever have expected.

Cribbage Made Easy - The Cribbage Player's Textbook
Author: George Walker
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0359087094
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Review from The Philidorian: ....To the spectacled dowager, or the gouty old bachelor, -to miss near her teens, or master near his pinafore. -How could there be devised a better game? It teaches the child arithmetic, by a railroad process; and soothes the aches of age by its gentle exercise of the brain. Pasquin's Treatise, long out of print, was the best cribbage manual ever published; and in the little volume before us Mr. Walker has appended a good deal of interesting matter to a reproduction of the original. We may take another opportunity to draw upon this work for extracts. At p. 41, we turned up an error, which the publishers will thank us for pointing out, in order to its being corrected in a second edition. The author's words are, ""A sequence of a six, seven, and eight, combined with a pair of aces, inclusive of a four card flush, yield thirteen points,"" &c....

Fortune Telling by Cards
Author: P.R.S Foli
Publisher: BoD - Books on Demand
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
" This goddess Fortune frustrates, single-handed, the plans of a hundred learned men." In this saying the Latin author has given us the key to all the restless striving to search out the Unknown and the Unknowable which marks our own age, just as it has marked previous periods in history which we are apt to look back upon as being but little removed from the dark ages. Of all the methods by which men and women seek to penetrate into the mysteries of Fate and Futurity, Cartomancy is one that can claim the distinction of having swayed the human mind from prehistoric times right down to this twentieth century of ours. It may be that this book will fall into the hands of those who agree with the words of L’Estrange: "there needs no more than impudence on the one side and a superstitious credulity on the other to the setting up of a Fortune-teller." This attitude of cynical superiority is sometimes genuine, but in many cases if we could read what lies beneath the surface we should find that it is but a cloak worn to conceal a lurking fear, an almost irritated condition of mind, born of a half-confessed faith in the power at which it is so easy to scoff...."
