Trouble visits Amberlon again. When Annie gets a call in the middle of the night, she learns that her friend is in the hospital after being run off the road. She arrives at the hospital to find a very frightened Frannie, who asks if she would retrieve a toolbox from her house and hide it until she comes to get it. The problem is, Frannie ends up dead before Annie can give the toolbox back, and she discovers there's $300,000 in cash hidden in the box along with some casino chips. Annie wonders if her friend was killed because someone wanted the money. Rumor has it that there's a secret group of gamblers, and no one knows who the members are. Did one of the group kill Frannie to keep their secret? Annie's worries don't end with the death of her friend. She's got an uncle she never knew existed who is determined to find her grandmother's treasure without Annie's help. Stacy is mourning the loss of her love by going after a married man. And Aunt Bridge is still trying to marry Annie off. This time, her choice is a man who might be a murderer.

Download Benjamin Franklin's Last Bet Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The incredible story of Benjamin Franklin’s parting gift to the working-class people of Boston and Philadelphia—a deathbed wager that captures the Founder’s American Dream and his lessons for our current, conflicted age. Benjamin Franklin was not a gambling man. But at the end of his illustrious life, the Founder allowed himself a final wager on the survival of the United States: a gift of two thousand pounds to Boston and Philadelphia, to be lent out to tradesmen over the next two centuries to jump-start their careers. Each loan would be repaid with interest over ten years. If all went according to Franklin’s inventive scheme, the accrued final payout in 1991 would be a windfall. In Benjamin Franklin’s Last Bet, Michael Meyer traces the evolution of these twin funds as they age alongside America itself, bankrolling woodworkers and silversmiths, trade schools and space races. Over time, Franklin’s wager was misused, neglected, and contested—but never wholly extinguished. With charm and inquisitive flair, Meyer shows how Franklin’s stake in the “leather-apron” class remains in play to this day, and offers an inspiring blueprint for prosperity in our modern era of growing wealth disparity and social divisions.

Download Thinking in Bets Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A Wall Street Journal bestseller, now in paperback. Poker champion turned decision strategist Annie Duke teaches you how to get comfortable with uncertainty and make better decisions. Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time. There's always an element of luck that you can't control, and there's always information hidden from view. So the key to long-term success (and avoiding worrying yourself to death) is to think in bets: How sure am I? What are the possible ways things could turn out? What decision has the highest odds of success? Did I land in the unlucky 10% on the strategy that works 90% of the time? Or is my success attributable to dumb luck rather than great decision making? Annie Duke, a former World Series of Poker champion turned consultant, draws on examples from business, sports, politics, and (of course) poker to share tools anyone can use to embrace uncertainty and make better decisions. For most people, it's difficult to say "I'm not sure" in a world that values and, even, rewards the appearance of certainty. But professional poker players are comfortable with the fact that great decisions don't always lead to great outcomes, and bad decisions don't always lead to bad outcomes. By shifting your thinking from a need for certainty to a goal of accurately assessing what you know and what you don't, you'll be less vulnerable to reactive emotions, knee-jerk biases, and destructive habits in your decision making. You'll become more confident, calm, compassionate, and successful in the long run.

First Granite Mutual Life Insurance Company is involved in life settlements, a fast growing business in which the insurer buys large insurance policies with borrowed money and waits for people to die to collect the death benefits. When people don't die as quickly as anticipated, executives take matters into their own hands. By relieving elderly people of their suffering, allowing them to die earlier than they would otherwise, the executives are able to boost profits and prepare the company for an upcoming initial public offering. It is up to Blaine Stone, an ordinary analyst on the verge of retirement, to confront the individuals behind the suspicious deaths. After Blaine uncovers a twisted, unthinkable plot involving an ancient, secret society and pirate ghosts, he finds nobody believes him. The stakes could not be higher, and he is on his own, other than some help from a high-tech, rebel teenage girl.

Download The Odds Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
One gambler is a manic former cokehead with an Ivy League degree. The second is a college dropout trying to make a living at the only thing he enjoyed at school -- gambling. The third, one of Vegas's most respected bookmakers, is perilously close to burning out. The Odds follows the lives of these three professional gamblers through a college basketball season in a one-of-a-kind city struggling to reconcile its lawless past with its family-friendly makeover. With a wiseguy attitude and a faultless eye and ear for the sights and sounds of Vegas and its denizens, Chad Millman has created a portrait that the Wall Street Journal called "fascinating. . . often screamingly funny." The Las Vegas Review-Journal had just one word for the book: "Superb."

Download The World According to Fannie Davis Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
As seen on the Today Show: This true story of an unforgettable mother, her devoted daughter, and their life in the Detroit numbers of the 1960s and 1970s highlights "the outstanding humanity of black America" (James McBride). In 1958, the very same year that an unknown songwriter named Berry Gordy borrowed $800 to found Motown Records, a pretty young mother from Nashville, Tennessee, borrowed $100 from her brother to run a numbers racket out of her home. That woman was Fannie Davis, Bridgett M. Davis's mother. Part bookie, part banker, mother, wife, and granddaughter of slaves, Fannie ran her numbers business for thirty-four years, doing what it took to survive in a legitimate business that just happened to be illegal. She created a loving, joyful home, sent her children to the best schools, bought them the best clothes, mothered them to the highest standard, and when the tragedy of urban life struck, soldiered on with her stated belief: "Dying is easy. Living takes guts." A daughter's moving homage to an extraordinary parent, The World According to Fannie Davis is also the suspenseful, unforgettable story about the lengths to which a mother will go to "make a way out of no way" and provide a prosperous life for her family -- and how those sacrifices resonate over time.
