Steve Block, a retired New York City police detective was surprised when he was summoned to meet with the head of the Family. Years earlier, to avoid conflicts that were certain to arise, he had established a set of operating ground rules with his best friend, Joe Monetti, a ranking member of the Mafia. Those rules defined their relationship in the event of confrontations between the Family and the police. He was caught off guard, therefore, to find that the purpose of his meeting was to help the Mafia find the killer of one of their members, Sal Vitorio. The New York City Police Department had made a cursory investigation of the murder and had met with no success in finding the killer. Although the murdered man was ostensibly a legitimate businessman, the police knew that the victim was a front for the Mafia, with prior involvement in both drugs and prostitution. They did not intend to undertake a costly investigation to find the killer of a Mafia member. City budgets would not allow it. The Extortionist is the story of how Steve Block learns how to deal with the Family in tracking down the extortionist and killer. And it describes how Steve Block, when he finally identifies Stoddard Blakeslee as the extortionist and murderer, discovers he has the wrong person.

YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO LIVE AND NEVER TOO YOUNG TO DIE. When PI Steve Jobz is hired by the Albany cops to investigate an elementary school Lunch Room Lady who is said to have extorted hundreds of thousands of dollars from the school cafeteria, he thinks, “Easy peasy. No big deal.” Hey, he might even get some tater tots out of it. But when he begins to investigate the sweet old lady, it turns out she's not what she appears to be. Could the sweet old lady actually be a much younger woman posing as the Lunch Room lady? Unfortunately for Steve Jobz, he has no choice but to find out the hard way. After being drugged by the "little old lady," he realizes that not only is he dealing with a sophisticated con artist, he's also about to uncover a plot involving not just one school employee but several. And when the school principal is murdered inside her office in cold blood, Jobz begins to fear for his own life.

The Austrian School of Economics is an intellectual tradition in economics and political economy dating back to Carl Menger in the late-19th century. Menger stressed the subjective nature of value in the individual decision calculus. Individual choices are indeed made on the margin, but the evaluations of rank ordering of ends sought in the act of choice are subjective to individual chooser. For Menger, the economic calculus was about scarce means being deployed to pursue an individual's highest valued ends. The act of choice is guided by subjective assessments of the individual, and is open ended as the individual is constantly discovering what ends to pursue, and learning the most effective way to use the means available to satisfy those ends. This school of economic thinking spread outside of Austria to the rest of Europe and the United States in the early-20th century and continued to develop and gain followers, establishing itself as a major stream of heterodox economics. The Oxford Handbook of Austrian Economics provides an overview of this school and its theories. The various contributions discussed in this book all reflect a tension between the Austrian School's orthodox argumentative structure (rational choice and invisible hand) and its addressing of a heterodox problem situations (uncertainty, differential knowledge, ceaseless change). The Austrian economists from the founders to today seek to derive the invisible hand theorem from the rational choice postulate via institutional analysis in a persistent and consistent manner. Scholars and students working in the field of History of Economic Thought, those following heterodox approaches, and those both familiar with the Austrian School or looking to learn more will find much to learn in this comprehensive volume.

Journalist Maximillian Potter uncovers a fascinating plot to destroy the vines of La Romance-Conti, Burgundy's finest and most expensive wine. In January 2010, Aubert de Villaine, the famed proprietor of the Domaine de la Romance-Conti, the tiny, storied vineyard that produces the most expensive, exquisite wines in the world, received an anonymous note threatening the destruction of his priceless vines by poison—a crime that in the world of high-end wine is akin to murder—unless he paid a one million euro ransom. Villaine believed it to be a sick joke, but that proved a fatal miscalculation and the crime shocked this fabled region of France. The sinister story that Vanity Fair journalist Maximillian Potter uncovered would lead to a sting operation by some of France's top detectives, the primary suspect's suicide, and a dramatic investigation. This botanical crime threatened to destroy the fiercely traditional culture surrounding the world's greatest wine. Shadows in the Vineyard takes us deep into a captivating world full of fascinating characters, small-town French politics, an unforgettable narrative, and a local culture defined by the twinned veins of excess and vitality and the deep reverent attention to the land that runs through it.
