A small-time crook, who has suffered a lifetime of harassment due to an odd physical handicap, suddenly decides to take his anger out on something near and dear to the City's citizens. He becomes a serial killer of high-end booze, slaughtering hundreds of bottles at various liquor stores, and creating a citywide panic in the process.The Mayor and Police Chief, who had previously adopted a policy of being soft-on-crime, are outraged... mainly because they are both avid bourbon drinkers. They are determined to capture and punish this scofflaw, Albert "Third Finger" Welge. But Third Finger is clever and illusive. So the authorities must use all their skills and resources to track him down before he can extinguish every last bottle of great bourbon and relegate the public to drinking gin and tonics.Third Finger is a crime story, employing a touch of satire, sarcasm, irreverent humor, and political incorrectness in framing this kind of threat to a cornerstone of our culture... our booze. It's a fun read for anyone who loves bourbon... or even gin and tonic lovers, for that mater.

A person calling himself Joe Stalin suddenly appears in town with his family, and buys a nice little bungalow in the suburbs. Wow... the fellow certainly resembles his namesake, especially when donning the Red Army general's uniform when cruising around the neighborhood. Could this be the real guy?

He sees that there could be a market niche for a manufacturer of crummy golf clubs targeted at the millions of horribly pathetic golfers out there, and begins to redeploy his assets to attack this great business opportunity.Meanwhile, however, Joe's nasty, ornery, dictatorial personal traits begin to emerge, threatening to put an end to his dreams of living the good life in the 'burbs.

But is this a "too good to be true" moment?Recorked is a fun, humorous story about the joy in wine.

This book investigates and analyses how administrative law works in practice through a detailed case-study and evaluation of one of the UK's largest and most important administrative agencies, the immigration department. In doing so, the book broadens the conversation of administrative law beyond the courts to include how administrative agencies themselves make, apply, and enforce the law. Blending theoretical and empirical administrative-legal analysis, the book demonstrates why we need to pay closer attention to what government agencies actually do, how they do it, how they are organised, and held to account. Taking a contextual approach, the book provides a detailed analysis of how the immigration department performs its core functions of making policy and law, taking mass casework decisions, and enforcing immigration law. The book considers major recent episodes of immigration administration including the development of the hostile environment policy and the treatment of the Windrush generation. By examining a diverse range of material, the book presents a model of administrative law based upon the organisational competence and capacity of administration and its institutional design. Alongside diagnosing the immigration department's failings, the book advances positive proposals for its reform.
