A Bullet for Carlos


Giacomo Giammatteo - 2012
    First when her mother died and then years later when she found out her Uncle Dominic was in the mob. Her life is about to be shredded again, and this time it could destroy her. Connie’s love of family and her badge are both threatened when an undercover drug bust leaves two cops dead and the drugs missing. Internal Affairs is looking for any excuse to take her badge, but she’s not worried about them finding the missing drugs—her secrets could prove to be far worse. Now Connie’s racing against the clock to figure out who killed her partners and took the drugs—dirty cops or Uncle Dominic’s friends. And she has to do it before IA pins the whole damn thing on her.

Get Big Fast and Do More Good: Start Your Business, Make It Huge, and Change the World


Ido Leffler - 2013
      Ido Leffler and Lance Kalish, two 29-year-old Australians with very different back­grounds and skills, cofounded their company in 2006 with little more than a dream—and made it big. Yes to Carrots has become one of the biggest natural beauty brands in the world and is one of the fastest-growing skincare brands. Leffler and Kalish have accom­plished it all while maintaining solid principles, investing in meaningful business relation­ships, giving back to the community, and still making it home in time for dinner.   The authors started their business with nothing but chutzpah and great instincts for products with potential. They’ve since made lots of great decisions and some really, really bad ones, and are ready to share their hard-won secret to success: a strong, resilient, trust­ing partnership coupled with a great sense of humor.
