His investigations lead him into the lore, legends, and ancient secrets of northern Long Island - more deadly and more dangerous than he could ever have imagined. John Corey doesn't like mysteries, which is why he likes to solve them. The local police chief, Sylvester Maxwell, wants Corey's big-city expertise, but Maxwell gets more than he bargained for. Tom and Judy Gordon, a young, attractive couple Corey knows, have been found on their patio, each with a bullet in the head. Wounded in the line of duty, NYPD homicide detective John Corey convalesces in the Long Island township of Southold, home to farmers, fishermen - and at least one killer.

The illistrations were very detailed and added further expression to the characters. Children and adults would both find this book to be humurous and fun.

This story continues on where the Frog Prince ends and reveals that the couples life isn't so "happily ever after". The Frog Prince, Continued ( ISBN 7-6) by Jon Scieszka, illustrated by Steve Johnson, is a picture book parody 'sequel' to the tale of The Frog Prince, in which a princess kisses a frog which then turns into a prince.

Edward Everett, the most famous orator of his day, spoke first, and his address took some ninety minutes to deliver. Lincoln made his speech at the cemetery’s dedication, some four months after the bloody and pivotal battle that turned the tide of the Civil War in favor of the Union. Over the past 150 years, it has become a compelling testament to the sacrifices required to achieve freedom for all Americans. Lincoln’s speech, delivered at Gettysburg National Cemetery on November 19, 1863, has endured as a supreme distillation of American values.

Many scholars believe that these chapters showed signs of Jane Austen beginning to broaden her scope and range. In these precious chapters readers are introduced to a new seaside resort called Sanditon, an emerging community that offers fashionable diversions such as sea-bathing and picturesque walks. It was unfortunately abandoned around chapter eleven due to her declining health. Jane Austen began penning the novel Sanditon or, The Brothers as it was originally titled, during the last few months of her life.
