Elder Darrow Mysteries: Books 1-3

In Solo Time, Solo Act, and Burton's Solo

By: Richard J. Cass

A collection of three ebooks in the Elder Darrow Mystery series—In Solo Time, Solo Act, and Burton’s Solo—featuring Boston’s favorite bar owner and sleuth. In Solo Time Elder Darrow uses the last of his trust fund money to buy the Esposito, a bucket-of-blood bar in Boston. But before he can turn the place around, the body of a jazz guitar player shows up on the club’s stage. When Elder’s drinking partner turns up dead after being suspected of the murder, he’s drawn into the unraveling of a political conspiracy. Solo Act When Elder hears that his ex-lover, jazz singer Alison Somers, has killed herself in New York, he encounters a beautiful collector of jazz memorabilia, a Native American gangster with aspirations to management, and a bomb-throwing piano player while trying to uncover the real story . . . Burton’s Solo Elder Darrow’s best friend, homicide detective Dan Burton, becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a clothing designer. Elder hides him in the old family place in New Hampshire, while they expose an evil scheme by which illegal immigrants were effectively enslaved to work in sweat shops—and prove Burton’s innocence. Praise for Richard Cass and the Elder Darrow Mysteries “Richard Cass writes the kind of mysteries I first fell in love with—clever, twisty, and brimming with characters as colorful as they are well-drawn.”—Chris Holm, Anthony Award-winning author of Michael Hendricks Novels “Cass’s version of noir Boston is dark and beautiful as a back alley after a morning rain.”—Gerry Boyle, author of the Jack McMorrow Mysteries

In Solo Time

By: Richard J. Cass

Bar owner Elder Darrow shakes up Boston’s crime scene. “Atmospheric and dark . . . This killer of a reading ride will entertain and haunt you.”—Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author At the urging of his sometimes lover and sometimes drinking partner Jacquie Robillard, Elder Darrow uses the last of the money from the trust fund his mother left him to buy the Esposito, a bucket-of-blood bar in Boston that he plans to turn into a jazz nightclub. But before he can turn the place around, the body of jazz guitar player Timmy McGuire shows up on the small stage at the Esposito, stabbed to death. Because she had a contentious relationship with the musician, Jacquie is arrested for Timmy McGuire’s murder. But Elder is certain something darker and deeper than a lover’s quarrel is at stake. And when Jacquie is released on bail—and turns up dead—Elder is drawn into a mystery going back to Timmy’s childhood, an arson in the three-decker in Mattapan where he grew up, and the unraveling of a political conspiracy in “a dark bluesy mystery steeped in Bostonian tradition and prose” (Bruce Robert Coffin, bestselling author of the Detective Byron Mysteries). “Richard Cass writes the kind of mysteries I first fell in love with—clever, twisty, and brimming with characters as colorful as they are well-drawn.”—Chris Holm, Anthony Award-winning author of Michael Hendricks Novels “Cass’s version of noir Boston is dark and beautiful as a back alley after a morning rain.”—Gerry Boyle, author of the Jack McMorrow Mysteries

Last Call at the Esposito

By: Richard J. Cass

Elder Darrow, Beantown’s favorite bar owner and amateur sleuth, returns in “an immersive and satisfying addition to the category of Boston crime fiction” (Kirkus Reviews). When a burial detail to the paupers’ grave on Boston’s Rinker Island comes up with one extra coffin, homicide detective Dan Burton is called in to take the case. The murdered man is a neighborhood activist against the effort of rich and powerful interests to bring the Olympic Games to Boston. At the same time, Donald Maldonado, cousin of the infamous Icky Ricky Maldonado, tries to create a place for himself in the Boston underworld, taking over his cousin’s criminal activities. He jostles with one of Burton’s childhood friends for a piece of the illegitimate prospects of the Games coming to town: construction contracts, union connections, and so on. Complicating matters is that Esposito owner Elder Darrow’s thieving girlfriend has stolen something of Maldonado’s and he wants it back. Badly enough to kill anyone in the way. Real estate speculators offer to buy the Esposito and turn the block into a velodrome for the proposed Games. Elder is tempted, unsure that he wants to continue in the bar business. The confusion turns the world around Mercy Street into an uproar.

Solo Act

By: Richard J. Cass

The second mystery starring Boston bar owner Elder Darrow, an amateur sleuth who’s “every bit as tender and engaging as Robert B. Parker’s Spenser” (Jeri Theriault, author of In the Museum of Surrender). The new owner of the Esposito, Elder Darrow knows that working in a bar is going to test his sobriety, and he’s relying on the support of his ex-lover, a jazz singer named Alison Somers. The two of them split when Alison moved to New York to further her career, but before she left, they made a pact: he’ll stay off the booze if she keeps taking her antidepressants, which keep her from attempting suicide—again. Then Elder hears that Alison has killed herself by diving out of her apartment window. Elder follows an instinct that tells him she wouldn’t have quit taking her meds, or killed herself, without talking to him first. Trying to uncover the real story, he encounters a beautiful collector of jazz memorabilia, a Native American gangster with aspirations to management, and a bomb-throwing piano player. Along with his friend Dan Burton, a homicide cop, Elder finds himself entangled in a web of greed and corruption that threatens much more than his sobriety . . . Praise for Richard Cass and the Elder Darrow Mysteries “Richard Cass writes the kind of mysteries I first fell in love with—clever, twisty, and brimming with characters as colorful as they are well-drawn.”—Chris Holm, Anthony Award-winning author of Michael Hendricks Novels “Cass’s version of noir Boston is dark and beautiful as a back alley after a morning rain.”—Gerry Boyle, author of the Jack McMorrow Mysteries

Drug Delivery

Principles and Applications

By: Binghe Wang,Teruna J. Siahaan,Richard A. Soltero

An indispensable tool for those working at the front lines of new drug development Written for busy professionals at the forefront of new drug development, Drug Delivery gets readers quickly up to speed on both the principles and latest applications in the increasingly important field of drug delivery. Recent developments in such areas as combinatorial chemistry, proteomics, and genomics have revolutionized researchers' ability to rapidly identify and synthesize new pharmacological compounds. However, delivery-related properties remain a significant reason for clinical trial failures. Bringing together contributions by leading international experts, Drug Delivery covers the entire field in a systematic but concise way. It begins with an in-depth review of key fundamentals, such as physiochemical and biological barriers; drug delivery pathways; metabolism; drug formulation; pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic issues; and more. The remainder of the book is devoted to the systematic examination-including overviews, timely examples, and extensive references-of a host of specific subjects, including: * Receptor-mediated drug delivery * Prodrug delivery approaches * Oral protein and peptide drug delivery * Gene therapy and gene delivery * Ultrasound-mediated drug delivery * Polycationic peptides and proteins in drug delivery * Pulmonary drug delivery * Antibody-directed drug delivery * Efflux transporters in drug excretion * Intellectual property issues in drug delivery

Urban Governance

Britain and Beyond Since 1750

By: Robert J. Morris,Richard H. Trainor

This is a coherent and integrated set of essays around the theme of governance addressing a wide range of questions on the organisation and legitimation of authority. At the heart of the book is a set of topics which have long attracted the attention of urbanists and urban historians all over the world: the growth and reform of urban local government, local-centre relationships, public health and pollution, local government finance, the nature of local social élites and of participation in local government. Approaching these topics through the concept of governance not only raises a series of new questions but also extends the scope of enquiry for the historian seeking to understand towns and cities all over the world in a period of rapid change. Questions of governance must be central to a variety of enquiries into the nature of the urban place. There are questions about the setting of agendas, about when a localised or neighbourhood issue becomes a big city or even national political issue, about what makes a ’problem’. Public health and related matters form a central part of the ’issues’ especially for the British; in North America fire and the development of urban real estate have dominated; in India the security of the colonial government had a prominent place. The historical dynamic of these essays follows the change from the chartered governments of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries towards the representative regimes of the nineteenth and twentieth. However, such historical change is not regarded as inevitable, and the effects of bureaucratic growth, regulatory regimes, the legitimating role of rational and scientific knowledge as well as the innovatory use of ritual and space are all dealt with at length.
