Money For Nothing
by Donald E. WestlakeOnce a month they came in the mail. As regular as clockwork. Addressed to Josh Redmont. Issued by something called "United States Agent." Each check for the exact same amount: $1000. At first, Josh tried to find out if some mistake had been made. After a while, he simply accepted that for unknowable reasons some obscure, untraceable branch of the U.S. government was paying him $1000 a month. A poor temp when the checks first appeared seven years ago, Josh has now become successful in his field, with a wife and child, a nice Upper West Side apartment, a summer rental on Fire Island - so the checks don't mean that much anymore. That is, until a smiling stranger approaches Josh with words that chill him to the spine: "I'm from United States Agent. You are now active." Josh has been paid for a job that he now must do... a job that will turn out to be a growing horror for him, for his family, and possibly for all of us.
Money For Nothing
by Donald E. WestlakeOne of America's best-loved authors returns with a delightfully chilling new stand-alone in the vein of his bestsellers The Ax and The Hook. Josh Redmont was 27 when the first check arrived, and he had absolutely no idea what it was for. Issued by "United States Agent" through an unnamed bank with an indeterminate address in D.C., someone seemed to think Josh was owed $1,000. One month later, another check arrived, and then another, and another... and Josh cashed them all. Month after month, year after year, never a peep from the IRS, never an explanation for all this seemingly found money; the checks even followed Josh from one address to another as he moved through life. Now, after a full seven years, we find him on his way to meet the wife and kids for a summer vacation. Puzzled by the approach of a smiling stranger, Josh's stomach seizes with dread when the unwanted greeting begins with, "I am from United States Agent." Dumbstruck, Josh attempts to feign ignorance until he hears the words, "You are now active."

Money to Burn
by Michael MewshawA terrible explosion ripped through the morning silence in the exclusive Naples, Florida community of Quail Creek on July 9,1985. Two pipe bombs blew apart the Benson family car, killing millionaire tobacco heiress Margaret Benson and her adopted son Scott, and hideously disfiguring her oldest daughter Carol Lynn. Steven Benson, the sole remaining son and heir, had exited the car moments before the catastrophe, escaping death or injury. After an extensive police investigation, Steven was accused, tried and convicted for murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. In his acclaimed true crime account, MONEY TO BURN, award-winning author Michael Mewshaw gives us the chilling story of this notorious case of heartless, premeditated murder. From the grisly investigation to the controversial trial that made national headlines, MONEY TO BURN cuts through the mystique of the super rich to reveal a troubled family plagued by bitter jealousy, greed, scandals and drugs. Much more than an incredible story of murder and deceit, MONEY TO BURN is the gripping portrayal of the destruction of a premier American family by the dark power of greed.
