When a lush brunette turns up unexpectedly dead in a stranger’s bed, and an antique dealer (who is “mostly legit”) settles down in an easy chair with a dagger in his back, and a big-time gambler drops all bets on the kitchen floor in a pool of blood—then Peter Chambers, fiction’s most eye-catching, hard-boiled private eye, finds himself staked out as victim number 4 in a high-priced game of death and international intrigue.

Visions of Hell... In A Divine Revelation of Hell, over a period of thirty nights, God gave Mary K. Baxter visions of hell and commissioned her to tell people still alive on earth to reject sin and evil, and to choose life in Christ. Here is an account of the place and beings of hell contrasted with the glories of heaven. Follow Mary in her supernatural journey as she enters with Jesus into a gateway to hell and encounters the sights, sounds, and smells of that dark place of torment, including its evil spirits, cells, pits, jaws, and heart. Be an eyewitness to the various punishments of lost souls and hear their shocking stories. This book is a reminder that each of us needs to accept the miracle of salvation before it is too late—and to intercede for those who do not yet know Christ. Time is running out.

A petulant blonde bombshell with a deadly taste for danger … A ham actor who stars dramatically in his own murder … A sharpshooting hoodlum who takes his killing casually … And a lady Greek philosopher with “the longest, shapeliest legs in New York” … These are only a few of the characters who mix it up with Peter Chambers, as fiction’s most eye-catching private eye vaults from one lighting-paced, hard-boiled adventure to another.

"What is this mystery about--... Three assorted corpes strewed like confetti: 1 (male) with knife in back; 1 (male) with slit throat and much blood, 1 (female) with slit throat, no blood, no clothes... A missing valise containing tapestries worth 2 1/2 million smackeroos... A blob of oil painting that turns into the picture of a very beautiful gal when seen from the right spot... Five games of pool between a private eye and a 'businessman' whose trade is murder... A photograph of a man with a loving inscription to a girl he does not know an unfortunate interruption in the midst of a torrid embrace... A telephone call which has a decidedly double meaning." --

As children, we are captivated by stories of huge fantastical creatures, such as the wooly mammoth and the pterodactyl. The prevailing wisdom is these species are long extinct, but new evidence uncovered by author Gerald McIsaac casts doubt on these widely held assumptions. McIsaac gathered stories from the elders of the First Nation—those who were formerly referred to as Indians, Native Americans, or Aboriginals. First Nation elders provided McIsaac with detailed descriptions of six species long thought to be extinct. These species include the Devil Bird, the Hairy Elephant, the Wilderness Wolf, the Rubber-Faced Bear, the Lake Monster, and Sasquatch. In Bird from Hell, McIsaac separates fact from fiction by comparing eyewitness accounts of these species with scientific opinion concerning their identity. His conclusion is that these huge species are not extinct, but he needs assistance in gathering evidence to substantiate this claim. By following the simple directions provided in Bird from Hell, you can help prove these various species still exist.
