Stiff Them! is a practical guide to paying ZERO dollars on your student loans, credit cards, medical debts and other financial obligations. Read it before you make another minimum payment or communicate with any debt collectors. It is your cure for “wrongful spending” and for “wrongful lending!” Are you, or someone you love, burdened by debts that seem impossible to pay off? Do you struggle to make minimum payments on credit cards? Did you borrow a small fortune to pay for college? Is your FICO score underwater, making credit too expensive or impossible to get? Is the IRS hounding you for back taxes that are now bloated with interest and penalties? Are you paying off mountains of medical debt because your insurance was inadequate or nonexistent? Does it seem you’ll never get a mortgage? Are you tired of forking over all of your income for purchases that have lost their sheen and for services that were overpriced to begin with? Are bill collectors badgering you, day after day? Then this book is for you. Stiff Them! helps you to negotiate your way out of debt, irrespective of its source. You’ll learn the truth about bankruptcy, and why for many it should be used first, and not last; how it may be the fastest way out of debt and the smoothest way to get new credit. You’ll learn how handling your own tax resolution and debt resolution can save you big money. When you seek professional help, you’ll learn to do it smartly.

“Fun…and full of smart science. Fans of CSI—the real kind—will want to read it” (The Washington Post): A young forensic pathologist’s “rookie season” as a NYC medical examiner, and the hair-raising cases that shaped her as a physician and human being. Just two months before the September 11 terrorist attacks, Dr. Judy Melinek began her training as a New York City forensic pathologist. While her husband and their toddler held down the home front, Judy threw herself into the fascinating world of death investigation—performing autopsies, investigating death scenes, counseling grieving relatives. Working Stiff chronicles Judy’s two years of training, taking readers behind the police tape of some of the most harrowing deaths in the Big Apple, including a firsthand account of the events of September 11, the subsequent anthrax bio-terrorism attack, and the disastrous crash of American Airlines Flight 587. An unvarnished portrait of the daily life of medical examiners—complete with grisly anecdotes, chilling crime scenes, and a welcome dose of gallows humor—Working Stiff offers a glimpse into the daily life of one of America’s most arduous professions, and the unexpected challenges of shuttling between the domains of the living and the dead. The body never lies—and through the murders, accidents, and suicides that land on her table, Dr. Melinek lays bare the truth behind the glamorized depictions of autopsy work on television to reveal the secret story of the real morgue. “Haunting and illuminating...the stories from her average workdays…transfix the reader with their demonstration that medical science can diagnose and console long after the heartbeat stops” (The New York Times).

A couple’s insurance scam could turn a faked death into a real one, in this witty crime thriller by the Edgar Award–winning author of the Dortmunder novels. After more than a decade of skipping out on their debts, Lola and Barry owe a lot of money to the wrong people. To escape the loan sharks, Barry decides it’s time for one of them to die—or at least to pretend to. As the venue for this insurance fraud, they choose Lola’s home country, Guerrera, where death certificates come cheap and government record-keeping is sketchy at best. There is only one problem: la familia. After Barry’s “death,” Lola returns to the US, leaving her husband in the hands of her family as he begins to assume her brother’s identity. But the South-American hospitality of Lola’s relatives soon wears thin as they realize that their lives might be easier if Barry’s death weren’t just an act. Conning an insurance company is tricky enough, but no matter the country, no one is more dangerous than the in-laws.
