- City in ruins : a novel / by Winslow, Don,1953-author.;
"Sometimes you have to become what you hate to protect what you love. Danny Ryan is rich. Beyond his wildest dreams rich. The former dock worker, Irish mob soldier and fugitive from the law is now a respected businessman--a Las Vegas casino mogul and billionaire silent partner in a group that owns two lavish hotels. Finally, Danny has it all: a beautiful house, a child he adores, a woman he might even fall in love with. Life is good. But then Danny reaches too far. When he tries to buy an old hotel on a prime piece of real estate with plans to build his dream resort, he triggers a war against Las Vegas power brokers, a powerful FBI agent bent on revenge and a rival casino owner with dark connections of his own. Danny thought he had buried his past, but now it reaches up to him from the grave to pull him down. Old enemies surface, and when they come for Danny they vow to take everything--not only his empire, not just his life, but all that he holds dear, including his son. To save his life and everything he loves, Danny must become the ruthless fighter he once was--and never wanted to be again. Ranging from the gritty back rooms of Providence, RI to the power corridors of Washington, DC and Wall Street to the golden casinos of Las Vegas, City in Ruins is an epic crime novel of love and hate, ambition and desperation, vengeance and compassion."--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Novels.; Businesspeople; Organized crime; Revenge; Rich people;

- Niagara : your guide to the Falls and beyond / by Brown, Ron,1945-author.;
"The first-known European to gaze upon Niagara Falls was a Jesuit priest and explorer named Louis Hennepin in 1688. He took his somewhat exaggerated description of its size and power back to amazed Europeans. From then on, the Falls became a must-see destination for people from around the world and one of Canada's leading tourist attractions. But there is more to the Niagara region than a mighty cataract. There are the world-class hotels and casinos, the Shaw Festival, the wineries, the hydroelectric generators, the natural wonders, the historic sites, and the Welland Canal--an engineering marvel and vital transportation link. This book is the story of the falls and beyond, covering: the geological evolution of the Falls; pioneering development of Ontario's hydroelectric power; Niagara's wine region; Niagara's Indigenous legacy; the War of 1812; Niagara's Black history and heritage; modern hotels and historic hostelries; the Niagara Parkway; bridges across the Niagara River; the gardens of Niagara; hiking trails and conservation areas; casinos, hotels and midway Rides; the Shaw Festival; historic downtown streetscapes; Niagara's historic mansions; lost villages and ghost towns; Niagara's railway legacy, and more"--- Subjects: Guidebooks.;
