Paperback. Condición: Good. The new memoir tracing story of cycling since the 1980s, through the eyes of Jonathan Vaughters, founder of team Education First and one of the sport's most towering figures. Jonathan Vaughters' story is the story of modern cycling. From his early years as a keen cyclist in his hometown in Colorado to his unflinching rite of passage as a professional rider with US Postal to his elevation as one of cycling's most resilient, ethical and intelligent team bosses, the highs and lows of his career have mirrored those of the sport itself. Vaughters has had a front-row seat for most of the major events in cycling over the past three decades. He was both a former teammate of Lance and a leading witness against him. And he went on to renounce doping and start the first pro cycling team to dedicate itself to clean riding, which has grown into one of the most successful teams competing today and started a movement that has swept across the sport. This is also not simply a story of races won and lost: Vaughters shows readers how he navigated the complex, international business of building Slipstream into a world-class cycling team. Over the past decade, he has led the sport out of the scandal-plagued Armstrong era. By presenting the world with a team made of talented racers built around a rigorous approach to clean racing, he set a new standard within cycling that has since spread across the peloton. Written from the unique perspective of both a racer and a team manager, One-Way Ticket gives the complete story of what it takes to build a winning team and repair the reputation of a sport.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. With a well-defined cast, an intricate plot, and plenty of action, devotees of hardboiled police procedurals will find themselves breathless by the end. Great for fans of: James M. Cain, Dashiell Hammett, Jakob Arjouni.--Publishers WeeklySynopsis: When Homicide Detective Thomas Ritter transfers to Hamburg, he thinks the worst is behind him. No more threats of jail time from the Frankfurt rat squad for waterboarding a two-time kiddie rapist. Little does the former special op know he has stepped into the biggest police scandal in Hamburg history.No one told Ritter that his new partner, Motz Beck, is a moody biker with family ties to mob boss Willi Kaiser, who owns most of the whorehouses in town. Or that Kaiser is fighting a hostile takeover of his crown jewel, Herbertstrasse, from a casino owner, real estate shark, and heroin importer named Sulejman Hasani. Or that Hasani, a person of interest in half a dozen murders -- including that of Beck's former partner -- has business ties to the Hamburg Senate.Ritter is put in charge of a homicide investigation no one wants solved. Hamburg's interior senator has just been found dead on a St. Andreas cross in the S&M room of Herbertstrasse 7b -- one day before he is to introduce a senate bill declaring the street a national monument and thereby off limits to sharks like Hasani. Ritter and his new partner quickly conclude that the only people they trust less than each other are their bosses in City Hall.Publishers Weekly: This gritty police procedural, set in modern-day Hamburg, Germany, portrays a team of tough homicide detectives who delve into the city's grim underbelly in all its noirish glory. Thomas Ritter, a police officer with a mysterious past, transfers to Hamburg to take charge of a detective squad. He and his crew find themselves immersed in a murder with political overtones, when local official Mertens dies during an S&M game at a brothel. The investigation reveals ties to a well-connected crime boss, a dominatrix and her ex-con girlfriend, and a ruthless Albanian smuggler, whose stories come together in an explosive finish.Sarda, an American living in Germany, brings Hamburg's seedy side to life, with black-humored dialog and descriptions well-suited to a dark and violent story. When Ritter notes that the prison looks old-fashioned compared to the one in Frankfurt, another officer says, We're more traditional here. Still got bullet holes in the back wall, next to the guillotine. A suicide comes across in stark, bleak prose: The steam took the sting out of the first cut. She didn't even feel the second.Let it flow. Let it all out. Sarda doesn't stint on graphic descriptions of sex and violence - this is vigorous prose appropriate to the milieu but not for the easily offended.Ritter has a wounded psyche and his attempts to come to terms with who he has become thread through the book. Also well-limned is his partner Motz Beck, fighting his own inner demons and penchant for violence. Ritter and Motz's joint interrogation brilliantly shows how these two detectives, in spite of - or perhaps because of - their damaged characters, subtly break down a suspect. A pair of sex workers share a romance that elevates the characters far beyond tired stereotypes. With a well-defined cast, an intricate plot, and plenty of action, devotees of hardboiled police procedurals will find themselves breathless by the end.Takeaway: Fans of noir fiction will revel in this twisty story of tough cops, brutal gangsters and other denizens of Hamburg's underworld.Great for fans of: James M. Cain, Dashiell Hammett, Jakob Arjouni.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Winner of the 2018 Taste Canada Awards - Culinary Narratives Vikram Vij, one of Canada's great chefs, shares his story of the trials and triumphs in building a world-renowned food empire   Fragrant with the smells of cumin, turmeric, fennel, and cloves, Vij reveals the story of Vikram Vij, one of Canada's most celebrated chefs and entrepreneurs. Co-owner of the world-famous Vij's Restaurant in Vancouver, his story is a true rags-to-riches tale of a college dropout from northern India who made it to Europe's temples of high cuisine, then with a one-way ticket bound for Canada, found fame serving some of the world's most transcendent Indian cuisine. Vij's Restaurant, originally a fourteen-seat establishment known for its extraordinary flavours and spice blends, along with a firm no-reservation policy, received accolades from restaurant critics and patrons alike.   A culinary journey that began in India as a boy enjoying the praise of visitors for his chai and biscuits, Vikram's passion for Indian cooking and his lifelong mission to bring awareness to the culture he left behind have fueled his tireless drive in building a world-renowned food empire. Driven to succeed, Vikram realized his dream to launch five major initiatives under the Vij's brand by age fifty, but with challenges and sacrifices along the way.   For the first time, Vikram opens up about his struggles with prejudice, his mentors' lasting lessons, and the painful demise of his marriage--both the successes and the failures that have shaped and sharpened one of Canada's most unique and revered culinary talents.…
